I woke up this morning
thought I'd try something new
maybe write a blues song
but i don't know what to do

cos I write folk songs...
yeahhhh I write folk songs..

 

You got it!

A comedy blues song, could work!

[Dutchbeat]

i like the out of comfort zone idea best now....

because it leaves the creativity open, but we can learn something new, force ourselves not to do what we would normally do

we could perhaps give tips about what would be fitting to be something we don't normally do...i gues i would not be allowed to use loads of tracks, fx's etc, and i could perhaps try to make something like a country song?? i probably don't have the skills to make a country song, but i can try

[flossie]

YES YES YES  a comedy blues song please please please!!!!!!

[habiTat]

I might have to try both regardless

Oh dear..... that's worse than Hawkwind's (?) famous line...

I like to eat bananas
Because they've got no bones
I smoke marijuana
Because it gets me stoned

£500 Jessops voucher to the person who can identify who wrote / sang these lyrics......

By "Man". From their wonderful "Be good to yourself at least once a day" album. C'mon. 

[Schavuitje]

How about a piece of music with no lyrics that is no longer than 30 seconds. That would be ideal for a thrity second ad?
Have always fancied doing that if anyone wants to have a go?

Ok what about a kids TV theme?

Come up with a kids show, be it cartoon, kids soap, whatever, write a basic outline of the show and compose a theme song.

Lots of potential for variety, think Jackanory, Thundercats, Gummy Bears, Blue Peter... etc.

They would all be so different

The 12 bar suggestion gets my vote....would that be 12 bars in one night

Well there's a song idea!

Surely that must have been done "The Twelve Bars Blues" 

The ultimate hangover song 

[Dutchbeat]

i was about to vote for the kids tv theme
but hey

the 12 bars is fine for me too, i might even make a twelve bar bluesy kids tv show theme
 
oh, oh, but  just to be sure..for my image on here, i do have a clue what you all are talking about 

just kidding 

no, seriously i do know how to play a decent 12 bars blues..
i do come on, guys, i do

mhh, let Google on "twelve bars blues", and i will be back...

[man of simple pleasures]

is there gonna be a vote on this like?

[habiTat]

Could do, the general feeling seems to be 12 bar blues, possibly with a comedy element

anyone want to vote?

[Dutchbeat]

i would say: the twelve bar blues thing
so i vote, for no voting!

there has been far too many voting in my country lately

-i want no vote- no vote - no vote -

[James Nighthawk]

I, cough, "vote" for 12 bars.

Cos I nominated it, innit

However.... The current comp is a little more limiting (until the rules changed), so perhaps a nice open comp that allows for interpretation and minimal muso' knowledge could be a good idea?
