| Talking Heads Writing Contest: Songs | Started by: JackHenryAbbot on Jun 16, '20 10:51 |
|
Jack steps out of his HQ in The Loop and walks the short distance to a street corner. There, he pulls a wooden box to his feet, steps on it, and begins to talk. It's with pride that I announce this here writing contest. It's a song writing contest. Now, I know what y'all are thinkin' - who's got enough time to be writing a damn song! Well, I know y'all are busy, so you don't gotta write an entire song! Just a chorus, or a verse, or both. Heck, if you can write a whole song, then write a whole damn song. If not, a verse or a chorus. Maybe you want to follow on from the fellow before you? I don't mind. Three prizes: Best song - $2M 2nd Best - $1M 3rd Best - $500k Worst - TBC Closing date TBC, depending on entries, but probably Thursday. |

Everyday I wake up and First I do the hustle. Every time I do a felony, I flex my muscle.
Some days I get to shoot (yeah!) And other days I loot (oh!) All of it is done Wearing my black suit |

LonelyWolf - I'm afraid your composition isn't a valid entry. It isn't about the life that we lead. I understand that I didn't specify that this is a rule, and I thank you for your understanding in advance, but it is a rule. I should have clearly stated it. |

Can it be more of a rhapsody? I'm not good at formal song. I never went to school for it, so my voice is all over the place. If not, that's fine. I get it. Just trying to figure this whole thing out, you know? I really don't want to lose again. Not that I care about winning, I don't. Would just be nice though. You know? In some countries this would be a song. What if this was my song? Do you think it'd be the winning one? |

The tapping of a small drum was heard in the distance as a man dressed in only a robe was seen walking up towards where everyone was sending in their newest song creations. Then without any such notice, he began to sing. There he was. His name? Sisyphus? What is he doing? No one knowsyphus. I once went to the moviesyphus. I really enjoyed the movie I watchedyphus. [Chorus: Sisyphus oh Sisyphus yphus yphus yphus] [More Chorus: yphus yphus yphus yphus] There he is. Mister Sisyphus, what is he doing? No one knowsyphus. That's all I knowyphus about Sisyphuuuussssss. It was perfect. He was quite the songbird now, and he was sure that a first place was going to show up at his doorstop if not now then at some point in the near future. For you can't succeed if you don't try. I thank you all for your time. Really hope I finish top five this time. I've lowered my bar substantially. |

| JackHenryAbbot, I'm curious as to whether this fine singing competition is still open for entry? I know your time is precious what with running a family in the wonderful city of Chicago. Not to mention upholding your esteemed name on these streets of ours. In fact, it was only recently you were dazzling us with a few notes of your own. Anyway it reminded me of the high-quality renditions we have had already and whether or not a winner would be decided? | |
