Put an MB member into a verse of "Piano man"
 

I'm sure everyone knows the song, if not here it is:

Billy Joel describes the patrons of the bar in verses in the song. Try to do this with an MB member. Try to describe them in four lines, and if possible make it "scan", so that you could fit it into the song and sing it.

Here's mine:

"Now Goofle's a man who loves music;
He's always spinning a disc.
Whether folk, ska or punk, rap rock or funk
It's sure to be found on his list."

Cool idea! ;)
Here's one for you:

"And Trollheart's the hell of a writer;
With five or six journals on his own
He writes without pay, surely he'll write today
He's the mayor of Journaltown"

Bump.

I just stumbled upon this thread and this immediately came to mind:

"And John Wilkes Booth is practicing politics,
As WhateverDude slowly gets stoned,
Sequoidae's courting an Asian chick,
And Roxy has broken a bone."

(Yes, I know she only sprained it, but come on, artistic license!)

:laughing:

Now Roxy at the bar is a friend of mine
She gets me my trees for free
And she's quick with a joke or to hang out and toke
Long as it's not 3 in the morning

She says, "SHUT THE FUCK UP I'M TRYING TO SLEEP"
As I'm hiding out from a police chase
"Well, I think you've had a bit too much to drink
just got to bed and wash your face"

It's 12:00 on a Wednesday
The regular posters are in
There's a newbie posting a song
In the "Name That Tune" forum.

He says, "Son, can you tell me what band this is?
I heard it around a campfire
I'd post you a link, but I really do think
That fifteen posts are required."

:laughing:

:laughing:

And, Batty, he blew out his O-ring
and can't push it back in by himself.
Can't sit or lie down without ass ache
but still won't seek medical help.

:rofl: :laughing: too much bread...

Pet_Sounds is our chief Grammar Nazi
Even though he is younger than Briks
He's strict like a bear, yells "Grammatik ist schwer"
And sometimes I join, just for the kicks.

It's nine o'clock on a Thursday
the regular crowd is on-line
There's an old member posting in the Pop forum
As some of them try to reach cloud nine
He says, Batty can you play me a thrash tune
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's a fast and hard beat and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes

La la la de de da
la la lade da da dum

Chorus:
Post up a song, you're the eclectic man
post up a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for some intensity
And Death has us feelin' alright

I'm Irish. If it don't come from the liquor store then it ain't medicine.

Paul Smeenus has suffered a setback
(Lesser men might call it a stroke)
But he took it in stride and has even replied
To some of the important posts.

:clap:

Can someone write this into a complete ****ing song....
This is ****ing too great...Can we get a verse about the ban hammer somewhere...

I did 1/4 of it. But I got no clap, so it must suck. Start over.

Umm I saw that ,and I thought that was the beginning. ;)

It is. It's the first 1/4 of the song, but with my twist on it.

Duh! But Im wordering about all the other mish mash verses Id like it consise so that bob dj and myself have something to record for our hit drunken album...

Actually, Frownland, Goofle, and I have already got the rights for our underground cassette. Just so you know.

:laughing: Dj, bob and I got the re-mix so suck it! :P

I think I should get co-writer credits. And fresh moneys.

One does not simply write a commentary of us discussing the "making of the album" album.

Sorry, Briks, I forgot you were writing the lyrics. Do you think you could learn sousaphone as well?

I want to learn bagpipes.

That'll do.

So the personnel is:

Vocals: RoxyRollah, bob., and djchameleon (in three-part harmony)
Guitar: Goofle
Piano: Pet_Sounds
Drums: Frownland
Bagpipes: Briks

I thought we could collaborate and release a backwards version on a broken .45 as a bonus with every fifth commentary cassette.

Did you guys not attend the band meetings or something? Me and Frown got it down.

What about a guy with a tambourine? Gotta have a guy with a tambourine.

I was too high at the time to remember anything. ;)

Fixed.

Goofle can wear it on his leg and dance around while he plays guitar.

Or I can "play" it in the background while singing in broken Gaelic, and then Goofle and Frownland can yell, "Hey, can you quit with the music?! We're trying to record an album over here!"

pet sounds might be too young for a cowbell reference.
Interestingly enough cowbell13 is my computer passwords at work.

I'm all for it, provided the others agree. We can dub in "Mr. Tambourine Man" at half speed with all sorts of echo and tape hiss.

You need to understand the artistic direction we have taken. But it's not something I am going to share with you.

Is it a reference to that SNL sketch?

Needs more Cowbelt

yup...

By the way, those Tibetan monks won't be available for recording until 2016 at the earliest. They're copying out the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and that will take a while. We'll have to find something else for the chanting.
