the harrowing adventures of jessica and gavin her three​-​legged cat (part 2)

there once was a girl from virginia
with a three legged cat from gavinia
they were traveling through space with an alien race
when we left it to be continued

"oh aren't meteors beautiful"
"oh no they're breaching the hull"
said one alien to his alien friend
just before they both were to explode

but gavin escaped in the pod
and jessica with him because
in a three legged dash they were quick as a flash
a flash of 6 tootsies and paws

so now they are reeling through space
with life support fading away
and just down below a giant black hole
this might be the end i'm afraid

ah! ah! ah!

well it turns out Einstein was wrong
and time works like superman 1
and the girl and her cat were traveling back
before part one of this song

and the girl and her cat were traveling back

What is your song idea?
There once was a girl from Virginia, she had a three legged black cat named Gavin. One day the pair were walking down the road when out of no where an alien ship lands. You guys should go from there and tell a fantastic tale of adventure. I am sick and stuck in the house and my cat can't be an outside cat anymore after he lost his leg. We could both use adventure!

the harrowing adventures of jessica and gavin her three-legged cat (part 1)

there once was a girl from virginia
who was boss as the bhagavad gita
she and gavin her black amputee cat
were walking along down the street ya!

when along comes a spaceship from pluto
and it landed right out of the blue so
the girl and her cat had no chance in fact
they were dead meat you know like prosciutto

the girl was caught in a room with no corners
and the creatures were coming right towards her
but somehow the aliens spoke feline mammalian
and Gavin was translating for her

meow
meow
purrr
meow

the aliens smiled and nodded
when Gavin told them what they wanted
but the girl she got worried when they strapped her to the Gurney
but the surgery had already started

she woke up and looked at her feet
then counted them: one two three
i guess gavin had said to giver her a leg
because she had one fewer than he

Swords for hire

We had a tough time accepting our fate
When the federation expelled us from Earth
Set us adrift in the vacuum of space

Now we have a purpose, reason to practice our craft
If you need information, if you need a man dead,
If you need it done with no questions asked

We will take your money; we will sharpen our swords
Without a whisper, without a trace
We will be gone before his head hits the floor

In twenty-seven galaxies we've eliminated kings and queens
We stole the colonization plans from the galactic general's hands
The tyrant prince in Andromeda is totally oblivious
We infiltrated his court last month, now his right hand man is one of us

Our obsidian ship evades the light, often mistaken for a satellite
We can infiltrate and spread a lie, sabotage a hydrogen drive
Kill a man right where he stands, and make it look like an accident
If you have need of the shadow arts, just send us a name and a chart of stars

We will take your money; we will sharpen our swords
Without a whisper, without a trace
We will be gone before his head hits the floor

How about a song about intergalactic ninjas?

Someday Soon

Someday soon we'll go climbing in hills of evergreen
someday soon we'll go skating upon the frozen sea
sometimes we have to ride things out that no one could expect
and it's nobody's fault it just takes time to reconnect

someday soon we'll go soon we'll go dancing and you'll lift me in the air
someday soon we'll go bowling we'll have happiness to spare
i love you and i'll wait for you i promise you we won't part

the squirrels ate beethoven

you must think i'm joking
about the squirrels who ate beethoven
with their claws like forks
teeth like knives
you must think i've lost my mind
oh no sir, they just dove in
me and evelyn know that the squirrels ate beethoven

the squirrels didn't know he was a composer
they just need a way to sharpen their molars
you should see what they did to poor chopin
i'm telling you they ate beethoven

minimalists it funny
neoclassicists are appalled
the squirrels find him yummy
and so they ate him all
oh yes sir, we know they did
me and evelyn know that the squirrels ate beethoven

(talking)

poor beethoven at the pianer
never imagined he'd be eaten for dinner
you should see what they did to poor ravel
now he's just a pile of gravel

john adams thinks i'm crazy
tandun does too
but my daughter she believes me
because i speak the truth
oh yes sir, i know they did

The Request:
"Ain't no bones in the city, so the squirrels ate Beethoven."

For 15 years, a plaster bust of Beethoven resided in my parents' backyard. Having begun to corrode naturally some years back, this year Beethoven finally disappeared. Perplexed, my father developed a theory: "In nature, the animals who die become bones, benefitting the natural cycles of the forest. Squirrels that live in the forest, see, can sharpen their teeth and benefit from those bones of fallen animals. Since there are no bones to speak of in a city, (for when an animal dies, its bones are either buried in the little pet cemetery, or the waste is swept up by the city, don't you see,) the city squirrels living in our trees must find another means of acquiring those nutrients. They need to sharpen their little teeth, supplement the pitiable offerings of our neighborhood, and so on and so forth. So I suspect the squirrels have been eating Beethoven all these years."

I immediately began to hum a country ballad in this theme--
"Ain't no bones in the city, /so the squirrels ate Beethoven--/Little hands just like forks, / said a blessing, & dove in.
"Started turnin' real smart, / and took to the pianer, / talked of ontological merits / chatted all through their danner...

and so on and so forth.

Do you think you could finish the song? Please take creative license!

Song for Nikolai and Dmitri on the occasion of their 15th year

Oh good Nikolai

and I will 'till the end
and if we live again
I hope you'll pass the nip

oh meow lalalala

Let us nap you and me
then we'll jump for our treats
and roll off the bed

like a log on a bump
like the ickiest thump
you're my snuggliest chum
come sit on my knee

What's your song idea:
Hello! Would you write a song about my cats Nikolai and Dmitri? They turn 15 this year! They were given to me in 2002 by the great Matthew Marcinowski (The Beat himself!) when he moved to Japan.

Nikolai (his facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=1677450438) is Siamese, is a pothead, is made of pure love, and loves to lick your nose.

Dmitri (his facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/dmitriruleshard) is black & white, will jump in the air for treats, likes to cuddle, and will carry on a conversation with you for longer than you'd expect.

They're very special. I really love all of your music and this would be a big honor.

encouragement, inspiration, and support. And technological things like
counting posts, making sure the problems know what discussion thread
they are linked to, and making the interface useful. Your song could

untitled 101101

What is your song idea?
A scene of a film which consists of a seduction. It must include piano, or a similar instrument (keyboard) as it is an animated scene with a character playing on a piano. The scene is meant to be darkly funny, since the movie takes place in the virtual world SECOND LIFE. The story is about a man who's marriage is falling apart and he becomes increasingly involved with an Avatar in Second Life. This is the second scene that takes place in the virtual world. There is no dialogue, and it is mainly to develop the seduction. So far I have used St-Germain's "Deep in it" from the album BOULEVARD. It's a techno jazz, kinda funky track that suits the tone well.

Indie-rock sound with a head-bopping beat that will gear audiences!

Kuma's

words and lyrics by Scrand

kumas is a metal bar

in chicago

and kumas is the best metal bar in the world

and kumas has the hottest girls

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh

the best metal hamburgers

the best best burger in the world

kumas is the best bar the best metal bar in chicago in the world

and its the best metal bar in the world

kuma's dayenu

What is your song idea?

I made the unbrutal but necessary move out of Chicago almost a year ago. There's lots of things I miss--awful public transit, politeness--but the one thing that has no equal is the greatest metal bar on the planet, Kuma's Corner (2900 W Belmont).

Good bars do one thing well, and bad bars just serve alcohol. On any characteristic, Kuma's destroys other bars. Your favorite bar has a nice jukebox? Kuma's plays ear-splitting death metal from open to close. Your bar has hot waitresses? Kuma's waitresses are hotter, and will beat yours in a knife fight. Your bar serves food? Kuma's has the best burgers, universally acknowledge by god and man.

Any one of these things would be enough, but the fact that Kuma's does all of these better than any other bar proves that there is a god, and he's a metal god. Maybe Cthulhu or Odin.

Can you write me a song that's a tribute to Kuma's? The word 'dayenu' should be in the chorus. It can be straight description or a narrative (possibly about the waitresses or the customers). Or you can just steal lyrics off the menu. Actually, steal a lot of lyrics from the website, because it's chock full of their philosophies. (e.g. "death to miller and budweiser", "die, emo, die", etc.)

The style should be metal, obviously. True norwegian black optional.

The Brink

words and lyrics by Rachelintrees

sometimes it's harder than we think

to stay afloat and not to sink

sometimes the whole world seems on the brink

you'll always be

part of our family

Letting go can make you blind

those who have left and those left behind

but we've got to change some things to survive

you'll always be

part of our family

our life has lows and times that try

our spirits grow and then they die

when everything you've done seems to dematerialize

you'll always be

part of our family

sometimes it's harder than we think

to stay afloat and not to sink

sometimes the whole world seems on the brink

What is your song idea?

Layoffs... they really hurt. Everyone is unhappy that we have to say goodbye, both those who are leaving and those who are left behind.

...we have to make these changes in order to survive.

Thank you for your talent and energy and friendship and all the years of hard work.

You will always be part of our family.

An American Man

i heard of a person, an american man

who perjured himself like anyone can

and he said to himself i'm oh so shameful

and then the worst of it was that he didn't respond

for he'd broken his word and his word is his bond

and he thought to himself i'm oh so shameful

and i heard from a friend that he once played bar

and that no one had come to hear his guitar

just two girls, two girls at a table

and both of them smiled and clapped through his set

and when at the end he learned they were deaf

he said to himself, i'm oh so shameful

and we're the same he and me, we serve the same lord

the trinity: melody, lyric and chord

and we all do our best, the best we're able

and when you screw up, like all of us can

humble yourself, you're just an american man

Greener than Thou

I've got solar panels on my roof

My water boils clean

from the suns rays my heat

you cannot beat

We're both good for the earth

but I'm better than you I'm better than you

We're both good for the earth but I'm better than you

Cabbages and beets, oh

local and sweet

We're both good for the earth

but I'm better than you I'm better than you

We're both good for the earth but I'm better than you

If it's yellow I let it mellow

and if it's brown I flush it down

I've xeriscaped my yard

it isn't hard my sprouts

can stand a drought

Paper and metal organic material

I know you do your best

to recycle the goods that you use

but you'll always be second to who

guess who it's me that's right it's

We're both good for the earth

but I'm better than you

I'm better than you I'm better than you

What is your song idea?

A song about a self-righteous environmentalist who is perpetually "greener than thou."

burn

words and music by Scrand

Stephen was his name

and it was such a shame

but nothing could be helped

and nothing could be changed

didn't go to church

but still did all the work

he was a good man

they didn't understand

they were breathing on his phone

trying to break him like a bone

broken like his home

never squashed a bug

but he always acted smug

a though he didn't do a sin

he still didn't have a friend

money to the poor

and when they asked for more

he gave them

everything

but they wouldn't let alone

cause the didn't like his tone

so they didn't heed his moans

when they made his blood flow

and he didn't know where he would go

but they were sure that he would burn

David's request

What is your song idea?

An atheist who lives a completely virtuous life and gets killed for it by religious people who don't appreciate the atheist raising the moral bar on them without the aid of their god.

Topsy goes down swinging

Words and music by B.T. Nook

They say that elephants are doomed to remember,

but I've forgotten far too much for that to be so

There is one memory I wish would come in clearer:

the sound of that man's skull as I crushed it with my toes

I could hear the subsonic pleas

of my comrades scattered elsewhere in the park

when the cigarette scorched my tongue

and I decided to tear that man apart

And they say, "Topsy needs to die.

There's no point in reformation, look at the demon in his eyes.

Topsy needs to die.

We'll fill him up with cyanide and then let Edison try."

I've been in chains since I was just a child

And now I'm helpless even bound by string

So that's why I will go quietly into that good night

But after dark there ain't no telling what terror I will bring

As they climb all over me attaching wires

I will tell you what is going through my mind

Before several thousand volts go through my mind

It's that I will find a way to have revenge

I will find to way to get my revenge

Oh yes I will most definitely get revenge

"Topsy needs to die.

There's no point in reformation, look at the demon in his eyes.

Topsy needs to die.

We'll fill him up with cyanide and then let Edison try."

Now I'm drinking with the devil starting fires in men's hearts

Waiting for this cruel world to just tear itself apart

maybe she texts me oxo oxo oxo

maybe she tells me just to leave her and leave her alone

but either way is OK i say this is just the way that it goes

Douglas's request:

What is your song idea?

The last song was great, and I'm going through the same thing as Timmy. I have a friend who I used to talk to a lot and now, she seems to hate me. It's sad, but I'm an optimist so I'd like it to be a really upbeat and bouncy, happy song.

Timmy's request

What is your song idea?

There's a girl who I know used to like me - not to sound arrogant, though. That was a long time ago, and now I'm starting to like her back. We haven't seen each other in a while, but I still like her. I don't even think she wants to be friends with me anymore.

I'd like the song to be sad, but a little bit uplifting in the melody. Something like an indie rock song, or even a little punk sounding - whatever you can do.
