It's new and it's sticky.

I tried that line once and got slapped.

What happens to the old prefight threads? Are they pummeled to death, or do they appear in a hospital ward somewhere on the forums?

They get renamed and stay right where they were.

http://songfight.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=625 is the last one, for example.

Oh, I see it now. For some reason, I was skipping right over those topics.

Thanks.

Gemini Dude

The admin here are just too flash
they aint gonna just lose all thoses lovely reviews


Big hand for the admin YAY

actually.. the administrators are very much anti-flash.

and the prefight threads contain no reviews.

but thanks for playing.

So confused...

I had no idea that 'The Truth About Aspartame' was so bad. It also seems that it can't be avoided.
Except in a songfight.

Neither of those titles are worthy of my talent - so I'm not going to play.

(also, I don't know what a 'Prep School' is, nor do I know how to pronounce 'Aspartame'}

I was sure I was going to give it a miss this week, but now I have an idea based around artificial sweetners and the true meaning of serendipity. Damn.

Not only did I go to Prep School, I am also addicted to artificial sweeteners. So I should be chubby-rubbing my way to the musical bank, but we shall see ...

I'd like to hear a song that doesn't even use the word "aspartame," as if the title were thought of <i>after</i> someone had produced the song. I think if I hear what I want, it'll get my vote. ^o^

Emu music is too rare. I have < 20 in my mp3 collection.

Is that a guarantee? Being a filthy vote-whore, I'll do anything you want...

Damn, just too slow, and I was going to write a song about cocaine anyway!

K, finally got the DAW to the place I want it to be and ready to go off to the races. I'm feeling kind of sweet on the title The Truth About Aspartame. I hate the stuff with a passion and don't feel to great for those hooked on it's revoltingly sweet flavour...... yuck (sorry to those who love their diet coke)!!! Very clever title moderators. I'm sweet on that one, so I may bring the rawk and the sonic spill.

Having been the procrastinator and not finishing my Glass Eye last week, I knocked out renditions of both these titles yesterday. I had no trouble with the inspiration (although, songwriting would ALWAYS be more difficult if I had some sort of no-silliness criteria).

"Glass Eye" will have to mire in the unfinished puddle with "Les Anchois"... anyone else got unfinished tracks that they plan to release some day?

Too many to mention. Especially before my SongFighting days.

Like the fights aren't big enough at the moment without you entering two self-declared 'knocked out' novelty songs? Can you not just choose the better of the two and enter that one alone?

Sheesh. Well, I hope you won't mind if I choose not to listen to / review either.

As J$ said, how 'bout picking out the better of the two, maybe even working on a better recording, and throwing the other lyric up for grabs??? As in, if you decided to enter TTWA, I might take a shot at working something up for your "Prep School" lyric.

I'm not sure about ever releasing them, but a quick count sez I've written and recorded songs for 56 songfights, of which 35 have been submitted (34 as KA, one as Outowerk). Some of the non-submitted songs weren't finished in time, some were ready but I decided not to inflict them on the listeners. There are a few of those non-submittals that I wish I had turned in, and a few submitted songs that I probably shoulda just kept to myself...

Charles (Art is my middle name!)

Posting the lyrics on lyric-mart (er, does that still exist?) is a good idea.
I did that once and Lunkhead put in a nice rendition of my words. Very cool experience.
Also, after the fights are posted, people sometimes post the extra songs to http://www.somesongs.com for reviews and ratings.
Posting songs for both fights is discouraged.
