January 2012 Subject and Genre Announced.



JANUARY 2012 SONGWRITING GAME!

Sorry it took a little while but I needed to find the time to draw a NINJA IN SPACE first!  Most of you participating are already aware of it, but here is the subject and genre for this month.

Subject: Ninjas in Space
Genre: Dance Music

Dance music?  What do I mean by that?  Well, it's pretty vague and I want it to be that way.  You could go in the direction of 'dance rock' like some of Beck's music, or you could go all electronic like some of LCD Soundsystem's music or better yet, write a disco or funk song.  However you interpret it will be fine, as long as it has a beat that could be danced to.  Hell, make a song that is similar to the Hokey Pokey, that's one of the most famous dance songs in the United States!

Not everyone has access to percussion instruments but organic beats (non-synthetic) will be awarded bonus points.  Good luck everyone!

December 2011 Results

The Narwhal Birthday Songs Are In!

Unfortunately, with the holidays, not everyone had time to write a song.  We do have three entries below, though.  As you'll remember, the subject was a Narwhal's Birthday and the genre was Bluegrass/Jugband.  I hope you enjoy them!



Brian Salapek - Carl the Narwhal's Birthday REVENGE!

Jack Eggleston - The Narwhallian Birfday Chant

Eric Peabody Brown - Denny the Narwhal

Thanks to Jack and Eric for participating.  The January subject and genre have been determined and will be posted soon.  Hopefully we will have a good number of songs next time.
