Honorable mentions to "That's All" and "I Can't Dance", my fave is "Land of Confusion".

Thank you so much for your review! I totally appreciate everything you said. As much as I try for nerdcore, sometimes it comes out just nerd, or even worse, nerdbore. I will, however, keep looking for that "punch in the musical face"!

I love ska! Remember "The Urge" from the late 90s? Loved them!

Oh, man. James Brown music always makes me smile. "Get up offa that thing" and "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" are my honorable mentions, but "Living in America" is my fave.

Never apologize for doing things differently. Not really apologizing so much as acknowledging the difference. Actually, I fully intend to keep making songs for these fights (as I find the time) because it is fun and I like reading what you guys write about them. Of course, I wouldn't mind a few rev...

Hey everyone, I know I don't make music the same way all of you do. And to be honest, I'm starting to feel like I am more of a hindrance than a helper around here. That doesn't mean I am going to give up. I still have a ton of fun making music. I just know it's not what you guys are used to in your ...

Found it. The soundcloud page references the blocked video. And yes, I really like this

Please tell me you don't mean this.

Dear potential song-fighters this round Please, please, please, don't give into your gut instinct and do cod reggae. Espcially not comedy cod reggae. Anyone who does a 'comedy' Jamaican accent will be summarily barred from music-making forever. Reggae and dub are easy to do badly, next to impossibl...

Banshee (Nein) Back in nineteen hundred and three there was a place where a lady sat and drank tea with a little brandy, pinky out like fancy, after she murdered 50 kids her mom and granny. Afterwards she threw herself into the Red Sea. Her body bound to her house to live for eternity. Dancing, pra...

Here is my Banshee nein. There were like three more things I wanted to do with this song (intro words from a random stranger finding a phone with a video, an actual sung chorus instead of just a blank music space, better monster laugh and out-tro), but I felt I should just be done and get on with my...

Oh I have a great idea for this song. I will participate in this fight

(Almost done with my Banshee song, too!)

Completely agree with Glenny in that there are too many good songs. I'm going to have to say "Pictures of You".

I could listen to The Cure all day...

Gotta love the insider titles. (JB's currently on vacation for those who don't know the title significance) Oh great.... I don't know what the joke is. That's typical. Always a bridesmaid and never a bride. Anyway, it's a good thing I didn't submit a "Watching the Riot" fight, because I w...

It's not the judge's job to tell the participants what to do, just to judge. Clue's in the job title. Indeed. Even though I am not in the competition, I will be submitting a Nein for this because I can't get the idea out of my head. My interpretation of the requirement hasn't changed, so there will...

I love this answer so much more than a list of example youtube videos!

Lodi. Just Lodi. Fogerty said in an interview that he never actually went there before writing, but he somehow captured the entire Central-Valley-California experience in one song. After growing up in the Central Valley (and wanting to leave every minute I was there), I can tell you that this song w...

"She's Not There" from the classic movie, "The Long Kiss Goodnight". Everyone tried to drink shots like that (not in the attached video, but you know what I'm talking about). Best. Scene. Ever.

I'm gonna have to say "Can't Get Next to You". That's a great song with a lot of vocal range.

FINALLY! I have a ton of scrap beatboxing tracks that I have been dying to use!

Oh wait... I'm still not in the competition. When will we have optional bonuses for regular fight! songs?
