Re:RPM08 SONG FIGHT! - 2008/01/14 21:50 I humbly offer:

1. Rebel Hand
2. Lovely Cacophony and Her Sisters of Dissonance
3. Chaos in the Flatlands
4. Another Hand of Harmony

These might also make decent album titles.

#1 is probably a good rock or folk song, #2 could be anything, but I am sure the electronica folks could make due with it. #3 sounds vaguely folkish and #4 is probably there as well. That said, I know people would run with these in creative ways I couldn't think of.

I asked, via these boards, if Jon Nolan would do the honors of looking at everyone's song title ideas throughout January and picking three from a hat on February 1st at midnight.

Cheers,

Gary

Re:RPM08 SONG FIGHT! - 2008/01/14 23:00 If you take up the challenge, you write a song with the given title. It should, of course, be your version of the said song and, I assume, for those that write lyrics, should incorporate that in the words.

Re:RPM08 SONG FIGHT! - 2008/01/18 20:46 I keep reading the subject as "RPM Fight Song"
I imagine it as similar to my high school song

RPM, oh RPM
We'll cheer for thee
Fairest of Challenges
in Feb-ruar-eeee
("boom-boom-boom")

the second verse escapes me but it climaxes with a Bonfire

Re:RPM08 SONG FIGHT! - 2008/01/25 08:15 Open your dictionary to a random page and read the key words at the top, like:

'horn-mad horseleech'
'Petrozavodsk phallus'
'sepulchral sergeant major'

...usually results in some nice alliteration too!

Re:RPM08 SONG FIGHT! - 2008/02/12 18:03 Had to pass this one along. A friend of mine who recently had a house built just told me his story of something that didn't quite get built right but passed inspection anyway. And it would be a perfect song title, though I think much more suitable as an album title.

Yes it exists, it's the

"Hot Water Toilet"

They plumbed it to hot instead of cold.
