The Game Begins
Ok everyone, I'm going to attempt to get this game going. I don't mean to commandeer this, but I have some ideas so I'll give it a shot. First, some rules of the game:
1.) All songs are due by the assigned date.
2.) Songs must pertain to the topic of the week. It can be the song title and not actually be mentioned in the song as long as there is a connection. It can be the chorus. Or it can just be a line in one verse, as long as the song is still relevant. The idea is that the topic is a memorable part of the song, so interpret that however you will. Instrumental songs are allowed, if you think you can successfully capture the mood of the topic.
3.) After all songs are submitted, we will open up the polls for voting. This is just for fun, so don't take things too seriously. Please vote only once. Vote for the one that you believe deserves your vote. This can be based on singing ability, song writing, recording quality, or just who you like the most.
4.) Even if you're not the greatest singer, you can still participate. As was just mentioned, voting is not strictly about singing. This is just a fun way to get some song writing practice.
5.) Ukuleles are preferred but not required. By this I mean, try to write on the ukulele, but since this is the "song writing game" and not the "ukulele song writing game," if you want to do one on guitar or something else every now and again, that's acceptable. If you do another instrument, try to capture the ukulele "vibe."
6.) The winner of each week will choose the topic for the next.
7.) Have fun with it.
Please record as mp3 if at all possible. If not, send me a link to the video file. The idea is to host all of the songs on one site, but if youtube is the way you can do it then we'll figure something out.
In the spirit of not completely hijacking this thread, the topic of the week is
Haggis (A Savory Scottish Dish). Topics do not always need to be silly - feel free to go in any direction when it's your turn to choose.
This song is due:
12:00 pm Friday, February 13th.
For the time being, email all submissions as attachments to
sean_e_mak@hotmail.com. I would like to make this a self-sustaining entity within the next couple of weeks, where you upload your own song to the appropriate site each week, but until I smooth everything out I'll do it myself.
The format of the mp3 should be yourbandname_songtitle.mp3
