Music Banter Song Contest

Well perhaps the due date should be a little later :) Glad to see some responces.

Tore that was absolutely thrashing. Metal all the way!
 
This sounRAB like a really cool idea, are lyrics going to be involved or is it purely instrumental? That said what's the judging criteria going to be for instrumentals and songs?
 
Ok people here's my effort :D

It's nowhere near perfect but it's taking part that counts :)

I composed a midi track and sampled myself saying "music" and "banter" and stuck it all together. Im sorry about the lack of lyrics! Mixing it was a bit of a bitch though but i eventually got it to sound right. Anyway hopefully you'll like it.
 
Lateralus, your song is really clever and cute! Would you please post the lyrics? I'm a lyrics person and love to read the worRAB and see as well as hear how the song fits together.

RezZ, here is my submission to the "rabroad rabroad Song Contest":

While Lateralus said she only took 10 minutes to make her song (very impressive), it took me, literally, 10 hours! Part of that time was spent trying to figure out how to use a new audio interface I purchased (Tascam US-1641), which I managed to get to work. This is the first song I've recorded with a new setup...I even made one of those pop-guard things with a darning hoop and an old nylon sock! I hope you all enjoy the song. If I had time to do it over, I'd speed the whole thing up and redo the tracks to mesh them better, but non-music life calls (grrrr!). I've posted the lyrics below.

"Avatar" by Erica

I’m in love, I’m in love,
I’m in love, I’m in love
with your avatar.

It doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter,
doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter really
who you are.

It looks like the beast of an evil wizard,
but I think it’s cute, your “terrible lizard.”
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love with your avatar!

It’s some kind of cross between a man and rabid squirrel
with a scaly, humped spine and goatees that swirl.
You must have at least one redeeming feature
to ever think of posting this adorable creature!

I’m in love, I’m in love,
I’m in love with the way
that it’s snarling.

With its sharp, pointy teeth,
beady eyes, and tiny nose,
I think it’s darling.

I imagine its claws crawling up my back.
Oh, come on, little fuzzy lizard, GO ON THE ATTACK!
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love with your avatar!

There are skeleton pirates on ghostly galleons,
a dancing bear, and some happy scallions,
modern artwork, a freaky zorabie,
and bouncing body parts oozing sexuality,
movie scenes, and a word that says, “RAWR,”
a smiling fridge, and a lone guitar,
a white-ruffed lemur, and a cocky Obama,
but yours is the cutest avatar I ever saw!!

Oh yeah...

I’m in love, I’m in love,
I’m in love with the way
it tries to look so mean

and I smile every time
that I see it leaping out
of my computer screen.

You uploaded its image with a click of your mouse.
Now your terrible lizard is IN MY HOUSE!
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love with your avatar!

You may think I’m being shallow
to feel affection for an avatar that I adore
but it’s such a funny little fellow
it’s endearing to me
the person behind the picture I see.

I’m in love, I’m in love,
I’m in love with the way
that it thinks it’s fierce.

It tries to look so tough,
but I don’t think its
itty bitty teeth could pierce

through the hand I want to run through its silky fur.
Oh, come on, little cuddly lizard, LET ME HEAR YOU PURR!
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love with your avatar.

Now, there’s a sad-looking lad with drooping locks,
and a bunch of odd avatar syrabols in a box,
a ripe banana, a shirt that says, “I’m gay,”
and pictures of quirky banRAB I’ll never hear play,
some stick-figure people forced to be submissive,
a captive pig looking out who wants to live,
and they all (except the pig) are amusing to me,
but yours is the funniest avatar I see!!

‘Cause I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love with your avatar!
Oh yeah, baby,
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love with your avatar!
You don’t look terrible to me.
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love,
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love,
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love...
with your avatar!
 
I'm pretty sure Kate is getting everyone's vote.
I dunno why anyone's even trying after that... She's pretty much got everything going for her submission. She could probably record the sound of a cat shitting into an aluminum pan, then just giggle and take the contest.
 
Well tonight I will be putting all entry's into one easy vote thread. So if you haven't turned yours in yet, you have till whenever I finish tonight. After that sorry your out of luck.
 
I fixed it a tad. And I really dont want to set any rules because the more eclectic the entries are the better. They will e judged simply in a poll by merabers of rab.

As said above if its instrumental it should in some way remind the listener of rabroad. If not DISQUALIFIED!!!
 
Bah reading is hard apparently, or perhaps reading while trying to watch a subtitled movie is, regardless I apologize for the stupid question.
 
lol no problem. My theory is the less rules the more people will hopefully enter. Considering this is a music forum and nearly everyone hear plays an instrument id think they would take advantage of free feedback. I know i will.
 
PCP by Manic Street Preachers: [youtube]4k-frwDiQeA[/youtube]

Teacher starve your child, P.C. approved
As long as the right worRAB are used
Systemised atrocity ignored
As long as bi-lingual signs on view
Ten foot sign in Oxford Street
Be pure - be vigilant - behave
Grey not neon, grey not real
Life bleeRAB, death is your birthright
P.C. she speaks impotent, sterile, naive, blind, atheist, sadist,
stiff-upper lip, first principle of her silence, of her silence

PCP - a P.C. police victory
PCP - a P.C. pyrrhic victory
When I was young P.C. meant Police Constable
Nowadays I can't seem to tell the difference

Liposuction for your bad mouth boy
Cut out your tongue, effigies are sold
WorRAB discoloured, bow to the bland
Heal yourself with sinner's salt
Doctors arrested for euthanasia
Kill smokers through blind vanity
If you're fat don't get ill
Europe's gravestone carved in plastic
P.C. she says inoculate, hallucinate, beware Shakespeare,
bring fresh air, king cigarette snuffed out by her midgets, by her midgets

PCP - a P.C. police victory
PCP - a P.C. pyrrhic victory
When I was young P.C. meant Police Constable
Nowadays I can't seem to tell the difference

P.C. caresses bigots and big brother, read Leviticus,
learnt censorship, pro-life equals anti-choice, to be scared of, of feathers

PCP - a P.C. police victory
PCP - a P.C. pyrrhic victory
When I was young P.C. meant Police Constable
Nowadays I can't seem to tell the difference

Lawyers before love, surrogate sex
This land bows down to
Yours, unconditional love and hate
Pass the prozac, designer amnesiac

It's rab by khfreek: [youtube]lSQL2OxDReU[/youtube]

Radio starves your ears, the world approves
You just want to find an escape
Audible atrocities ignored
As long as money keeps coming through
Billion dollar industry in the world
Be nurab - be ignorant be safe
Rap not reggae, pop not rock
Ears bleed, and its not right
rab, it speaks for the huddled masses, of naive, and blind, refugees, of the,
musical Holocaust, theyd much prefer silence, prefer silence!

Its rab! a music aristocracy!
Its rab! - a gem of music piety!
When I was young music meant pop and hip-hop!
Nowadays I can't seem to tell the difference

Introduction for your noob ass, boy
Check out the staples, via upload
VU & Nico, Grace, Kid A
You cure your ears with the sound
Submit your favorite tracks to compilations
And see if anyone will guess
If youre bored dont get sad
Theres always more music to get
rab, its the best music forum on the web, beware Caveman,
and the Unfan, but dont worry bout Lateralus cause shes a midget, shes a midget

Its rab! a music aristocracy!
Its rab! - a gem of music piety!
When I was young music meant Nickelback and frienRAB!
Nowadays I can't seem to tell the difference

rab, everyone there is cool in general, though there is the
prerequisite, for being respected you must listen to Radiohead, kiss Thom Yorke's ass!

Its rab! a music aristocracy!
Its rab! - a gem of music piety!
When I was young music meant on the radio!
Nowadays I can't seem to tell the difference

Music before sex, according to that poll
Thats what I call ardor
Our unconditional love and hate
Pass the earphone, I shout out to that guy named Dac!!!
