First challenge this time around, simple and straight-forward, is to write a tune about the moon. Moon Song Fu? Yes. Moon Song Fu. *Your joke HERE -- possible topics: martial arts, take-out food, influence of Universalist Church on U.S. print and broadcast media.*
Paul & Storm have responded with a ditty about being eaten by a girlfriend (in a bad way), and Coulton's got something distant and plaintive about pearls and permanence and how there's always a ... okay, he kind of lost me. Nonetheless I'm teetering on the brink of bestowing the infamous ALLOT5MA-fave-by-fiat upon him. It's very tempting, but with great power comes great responsibility, and with trivial and arbitrary internet prerogatives comes precarious exposure to the temptations of pseudonymous self-indulgence. You know, frequent hyphenation, polysyllabic sprees, self-referential asides... ellipses...
Big ups to newcomers The Rifftones for their retro-smoothie about the moon's malevolent influence on dipsomania and dating, "Moon Shine:"
The moon is a sadist who makes us do evil
likes us to suffer and laughs when we fall
He whispers that alcohol makes us immortal
then shines with delight when we lose it all
Moonshine... Moonshine... Moonshine...
If you're having a slow day, dig through and give thoughts on your favorites. Don't forget to vote.
Hat-tip: ALLOT5MA-fave Jonathon Coulton. Heh heh.
