18 February 2004 (Wednesday)
Since last week's challenge went over pretty well (we each got at least one "shine" song out of it, even if didn't actually have "shine" in the title...), I thought we'd try something like it again. It could be the muse we need to hammer out another ditty...
This time, choose a personality (beit a celebrity, historical figure, personal hero, whatever) and write a tribute to him/her. I'm thinking along the lines of REM's "Man on the Moon," or Vigilantes of Love's "Skin," or Scud Mountain Boys' "Knievel"... oh, hell, how about TMBG's "Meet James Ensor?" I guess it doesn't have to be too serious. Just a tribute. Let's make the deadline by midnight on Saturday, 21 February. Now, go forth and make music!

If this were FCRM (February Cover Recording Month) I would do this for a tribute, since it is too much fun to play-> http://irishlyrics.homestead.com/files/Beer_Beer_Beer.txt
If you haven't heard this one in your local Irish pub, I recommend you go find a good pub and a good pint and request it. (Maybe I should just record it and throw it up for a laugh)

I love that Tenacious D song "Tribute" where they do the little "bababa" breakdown...what a funny band.

oh... TRIBUTE!! right... i was trying to figure out why you were talking about doing covers. i guess a "tribute album" is usually a collection of covers, but you know what i meant. write a song that pays hommage to someone. ;)

PS hopper: i thought about the tenacios-D song, too. a few minutes after i posted the challenge. that's funny stuff.

Have you seen the TD DVD??? Oh man is it funny.
hopper [12:36AM CST 19-Feb-2004]
i've heard about that DVD but not seen it. i've begun my tribute/homage song.

So, has everyone posted their Tribute songs yet? Are you gonna!?!
Dude, I love this FAWM month. The more you write the better you feel (so lets have FAWM for every meal!?!)

hopper, you're killing me. we still have almost 30 hours to deadline.

You're RIGHT Willis...it's a DEADLINE, and if you don't make it, you're not my friend anymore!
