No Really, Not Like That, Nothing Day

I wonder if one could use all three of these in a chorus and enter one song in all three categories

Has anyone ever tried that?

Hmm... What if I used all three in a chorus, then waited till the last second to enter my song in, and pick the most deserted fight? Hehehehe...

Depending on Nur Ein starts, I might or might not be able to do this one. If I do, it'll probably be Not Like That.

that's genius!

except the part where all the songs get posted at the same time, so you don't actually see how many have been submitted until it's already too late to send yours.

[edit: nuts, that was a totally lame thousandth post.]

And also the part about how it's been done, done and done by people judging fights by the prefight thread.

One person made a song that fit all three titles one week "From This Day On" "Frannie" "Ain't Gettin' Any," but I believe it was submitted in only one category. Clever incorporation of all three titles will probably get you vote points though, as long as you choose only one to submit it to.

The one I remember was a stellar Ben Folds-shows-his-Peanuts rendition by Jim Tyrrell, in the Frannie fight.

i have written a rap for nothing day so i probably will be in that. i'm not using any of the titles.

Except that some reviewers actually pan you for doing you. Me, I don't think it matters one way or the other.

Someone did it last week too.

Denyer · Post by **Denyer** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 3:07 pm

I don't think it's particularly clever when probably everyone else realised the titles are similar too.

Nigel (spOOn) Clements · Mon Mar 13, 2006 1:38 am

I did April Morning, with a Peach - Bitter Orange - Pickle Juice just a couple of weeks back and submitted under April Morning, I got panned for it, we have a saying over here...

Basically it's not big and it's not clever.

I would say if you intend to include all three titles in one song, then don't overemphasise the fact, and make one the genuine lead.
But in this case as the titles are extremely similar and entirely ambiguous it's not really that difficult to include all three titles without really trying.

'nuff said.

(by the way if you research the archive you'll find that one heck of a lot of artists have attempted this, but they don't like to talk about it.)

Anyway we will be having a Nothing Day, as that's what we will be having.

I'm in for Not Like That, and pretty damn excited about the fight, as I actually like my entry this week.

The Anchors · Post by **The Anchors** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 5:54 pm

The Anchors are almost done with Not Like That and it's shaping up to be our best song yet.

edit We were almost done, but my mic just broke. Fuck.

Kweep · Post by **Kweep** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 10:03 pm

i'm not like that, either... errr... i'm doin not like that, too. and i feel ya anchors, my eee-lectric guit-fiddle is still busted so this weeks entry will be a sissy ass acoustic ballad...

I'm making an attempt at Nothing Day but so far my brain is sludge.and it's all rather slow going.
