I think I finally finished. After seeing a couple of these titles, I don't feel so bad about mine anymore. Although I did have to do some research on it. Thanks Wiki and whoever gave me this F'-ing title :D My title is "The Prisoner's Dilemma". It's about a guy and a girl who both get caught for doing some kind of crime and is sung from the guy's wishful thinking point of view from his interrogation room (while she is in her own room).

All the songs are great so far!

Ahh, no it doesn't. It's working for you because it must still be in your cache. But if you sent an mp3 to Jon, he'll post it.

Sorry for the delays. I'm building the page now.

The definitive list, however, is as follows:

Billy's Little Trip suggested "Uranus Looks Beautiful Tonight," which was written and recorded by Sven Mullet.
Sven Mullet suggested "Nickelback is my Favorite Band Ever," which was recorded by SuckWeasel.
SuckWeasel suggested "Turkish Prison," which is to be recorded by Rabid Garunkel*.
Rabid Garfunkel suggested "Look to the Skies," which was recorded by Billy's Little Trip.

So sue me, it's not a perfect circle. Let's move on, shall we.

Caravan Ray suggested "The Prisoner's Dilemma," which was recorded by Chris Cogott.
Chris Cogott suggested "No Fork in My Road," which is to be recorded by Lord of Oats**.
Lord of Oats suggested "Vegan Music," which was recorded by Apodan.
Apodan suggested "We Degender Bawdily. Ha ha!" which is to be recorded by Heuristics, Inc.*
Heuristics, Inc. suggested "Viva La Narcissism," which is to be recorded by Jon Eric*.
Jon Eric suggested "Count to Ten," which was recorded by Mike Lamb.
Mike Lamb suggested "Cocobolo Glow," which was recorded by Ross Durand.
Ross Durand suggested "That's How I Feel," which was recorded by Caravan Ray.

And finally...

Jan Krüger suggested "Show All History," which was recorded by Lithic.
Lithic suggested "Days Away," which was recorded by Jan Krüger.


Whew! I'm building a webpage to archive all this. If you want me to link to a webpage, send me the link or post it here.

If we ever do this again, I've figured out a better way to assign titles so that we all form one big circle.

*Expected by the end of the week
**Late, no ETA provided.

Ross, I already mentioned this on IRC, but that was tremendous. You truly outdid yourself on the lyrics. Fantastic.

Thanks for organizing this Jon! I hope you like your song. The title fought me tooth and nail, but once I got lyrics down, it came together pretty good. :)

I agree. Awesome! I love the double guitar lead bridge. Almost had a Boston flavor to it, without the Tom Scholz fx. Me likey. ;)

Ross, I swear every title you take on turns to gold. I envy your acoustic style. The guitar work in this song is so soulful, it's incredibly lifting. Did you do both guitars, or did you collab on this one? Great song.

Thanks dudes! The Boston influence I didn't catch until now. I knew about the Journey one though as I was writing it. I kind of liked it so I kept it in plus I was too far into the song and it was too late to turn back. I think it came out ok. I hope Steve Perry doesn't kick my ass. :(
