The Song Fight Excuse List
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 4:19 pm
Greetings,
Back in the day, and I mean waaay back in the day, the community came up with a list of excuses that people typically make when they're unable, for some reason, to submit a song to the fight.
I did a bit of searching and came up with only references to the original list. This topic is to resurrect the list. I think it might be fun, eventually, to inscribe the list of excuses on a .org page for posterity. Here's what we've got so far:
I DID NOT ENTER THE FIGHT THIS WEEK BECAUSE...
Your turn.

I DID NOT ENTER THE FIGHT THIS WEEK BECAUSE...
- Your mom.
- What’s Song Fight?
- I am a person of insecure nature, weak in constitution and mental fortitude. [2019 UPDATE]
- I can’t read, so I got the title wrong.
- I am poor, so they cut off my lifeforce/Internet, and I never heard of a library
- I couldn't think of a good bridge
- The dog ate my lyrics/Ha ha I am sad
- I didn't want to "waste it"
- I’m too tired
- Game of Thrones
- I’m afraid I won’t win
- I had to mind my brother’s greyhound for some reason and he sucks at harmonies
- My parents/siblings/roommates never left me alone long enough to record.
- Nobody understands my music anyway.
- I won’t win so why bother
- My record contract forbids it
- People on the message board are mean!
- I couldn't write a decent lyric if my life depended on it.
- My porn machine keeps crashing/won’t crash
- My collaborator flaked on me just after I broke both my arms
- My guitar neck turned into a snake / I took some drugs
- ‘Roneing’ never caught on
- Butt-hurt from reviews last week
- I’m just not feeling it
- Spent too much time feeling it
- Caravan Ray stole my idea and did it better
- I’ve got blistahs on me fingahs
- These people have no taste.
- It was just too much of a good thing
- I had wicked bad cramps
- My porn machine ate my project files
- The Song Fight auto-reply message offended me
- My chorus was amazeballs, I swear
- Boss interrupted my recording session at the meat-packing plant
- Johnny was out sick, signed Dr. BULLSHIT
- Octothorpe won last week so this whole thing is corrupt
- No short term… something
- Procrastination / Fear of inadequacy
- It’s more like Production Fight anyway so F all of you
- No shoes to poop on
- Hurricane / knocked out by boxer / drank too much
- Self-abuse/injury
- The title is terrible.
- Just plain lazy I am
- Every tune I write sounds like “She Works Hard for the Money”
Your turn.
JB
