The Song Fight Bulletin Board

I’ve added a couple of different videos to my post that hopefully will work. <shakes fist at legal dickery>

I'm giggling at the prospect of someone doing a Sleaford Mods cover.

Green Day - Basket Case

My band covered that once:
https://flochanmusic.bandcamp.com/track/basket-case

I will be in as soon as I finish making my selections.

In the meantime, I've made a Spotify playlist with everyone's selections, like I did for the last Gift of Music back in March. I will add to it as more people sign up.

The following songs are not on Spotify and thus are not on the playlist:

The Sleaford Mods - Pubic Hair LTD (j$)
Togo Project & Sana - Jelly Kiss (fluffy)

The Lemonheads - It's About Time


Magnetic Fields - No One Will Ever Love You Honestly


Buzzcocks - Autonomy


Flaming Lips - When You Smile

My 4 choices:

80's Niv would enjoy:

"18 & Life" by Skid Row

90's Niv would enjoy:

"Tremor Christ" by Pearl Jam

00's Niv would enjoy:

"The Nocturnal House" by Pretty Girls Make Graves

10's Niv would enjoy:

"Black Honey" by Thrice

Belle and Sebastian - "I Could Be Dreaming"


Eurythmics - "She's Invisible Now"


Peter Hammill - "Airport"


Yes - "Sweetness"

OH LOOK, THE OLD PUNK CHOSE FOUR OLD PUNK SONGS HOW SURPRISING
The Undertones, Hypnotised



The Dickies, I'm OK You're OK



The Damned, Neat Neat Neat



Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers, One Track Mind

Hey Mark, the third video is showing as “not available” for me so I can’t see what it is. Could you please add the song names and artists to your post?

Hi Ive decided to update my list to allow for people to hear all 4 of the songs!

j$

Not in the best position to record now, but that was true last time and I still got a song in so I guess that’s no excuse. So here we go:

“People Who Eat Darkness” - Steven Wilson


“Short Skirt/Long Jacket” - Cake


“Sinking” - The Cure


“A Mission In Life” - Stan RIdgway

Micah's picks:

Stan Rogers - The Mary Ellen Carter


The Rankin Family - Rise Again


John McCutcheon - The Great Storm Is Over


Stephen Foster - Hard Times Come Again No More
This has been recorded hundreds of times; here’s a good one:

I would like to enter as Virgo Power (my side band).

1. XTC - Snowman (1982). Chords & lyrics are here.

2. The Mommyheads - Worm (1994). Good luck, no chords online

3. Rogue Wave - Cheaper Than Therapy (2007). Chords on the usual sites.

4. Spiraling - The Girl on Top of the Piano (2002). Sorry no chords online for this one either!

I would be beyond stoked if anyone did any of these, some of my favorites by some of my favorite bands. This is gonna be awesome!!!

BYD is in for another round.
Some tunes to choose from:

Tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to give out assignments so if you want in, now is the time.

I’m very excited about my gift! 4 songs I am not familiar with, but am really enjoying discovering.

Meanwhile, to help you all get in the mood, here’s a cover of a song by someone who isn’t us.

I can't help but share another fabulous cover of a cracking song:

Okay, this seems like significant interest. So, if I were to say: choices by the end of November, covers by the end of December, think we can handle that?

So for anyone else who just realized they didn’t know when these were actually due: December 31ish with the usual GOM wobbliness, yes?
