A WWII ballad about the exploits of RAF Air Marshall Sir Arthur (Art) "Bomber" Harris seems to be the obvious response here.

...Just Spud's way of showing his lifelong love and support for the Dutch arts.

Maybe the title is a typo. Shouldn't there be an "F" in it?

Anybody recognize what this refers to, or am I being too obscure (again)? Too many different styles of clip art?

What, is everybody over on facebook now?

I am *IN THE FIGHT*

with a freshly sacrificed SF virgin in tow

and a new band name.

See ya in the jukebox!

Coincidentally, this was in my FB feed yesterday.. proud parent was saying
I think that children express their most authentic selves through art. There are few greater gifts in the world.

I was really excited about this whole idea, then I spent all the time I had this past weekend on my Talking Heads cover and also got a cold, so, I'm probably not going to be in any of the entries. But I'm very much looking forward to seeing who comes out of the woodwork for this.

I'll definitely be in. I could upload the track now, but knowing me, I'd just mess with it some more and re-submit it half a dozen times, so I'll wait.

I did not meet the optional challenge.

(EDIT) I'm in.

In as in can be. Optional challenge accepted.

I had some fun with this. I wrote my song as guy and guitar, but it ended up going in kind of a different direction. It's kind of rough, but it's my first time doing something like this. Not an excuse, just two conjoined statements.

"Red flowers bursting down below us." - CAKE

I'll be in with a fartsy 80s type style. I meant artsy, ARTSY.

Apparently I can't edit my profile until I've posted a few times. This seems to be as good a place as any.

So, er, boom.

Looking forward to hearing the other entries and making mock of them.

wail away o sirens of critiqueitude. punishment awaits as i did NOT use autotune. alas, this poor tune took less than the full 24 hours to conceive and deliver, thus your pain is destined to be severe ...

I also did the optional challenge, though I should probably get bonus points for writing and recording in 24 minutes.

And I still want to mess with the track. (Sits on hands.)

*cringes at the thought of 'last minute' optional challenge songs recorded on inferior mediums.

I got mine in but I did not get as much time to produce the song as I would have liked. So the production suffers just a little but I think it is a passable work.

Looking forward to getting beat by superior songfighters coming out of the woodwork.

I'm in. I inadvertently accepted the optional challenge since I only saw the title and due date yesterday afternoon.
