The whole idea kind of lost focus. The original idea was, let's all cover the same song and dig the different takes on the same song.

It lost it's direction when nobody actually wanted to step forward and declare which song we'd all do.

So that's where the interest dropped. I think putting it to a vote would be frustrating because there's too many out there.

eyewish:
In Love
With You
Uptown
Controversy
1999
I Would Die 4 U
Condition of the Heart
Anotherloverholenyohead
Strange Relationship
I Wish U Heaven

AGNTHVC:
beautiful girl in the world
pink cahsmere
stillwouldstandalltime
shhhhh
incents and candles

graycap:
Tambourine
Hallucination rain
Had U
All the Critics love u
Controversy
3121
Party up
Jack u off
1999
Paisley Park

Benehaze:
Controversy
Thieves in the Temple
The Beautiful Ones
Computer Blue
Peach
17 Days
Darling Nikki

and anon:
Crazy You
Crazy you
Crazy You

So, if you looked at the most frequently suggested song, I think it's Controversy which appears in three lists. Unless you count Anon's triple vote for Crazy you, which was seconded by someone else.

I think you'd get the most participation if somebody just went ahead and picked the song, and then we just call it the "Controversy Cover Madness" thread. That way there's no debate about which song to do. Seems sometimes the first step is the hardest.

I vote Controversy.

That's what I'm talking about! And Crazy You didn't seem to be "the one" except for a few people - and I'm totally talkin outta my ass on this one because I don't even know the song. Don't think I've ever heard it. I gotta track it down I suppose.

Well.....there it is. Controversy is the winner.
Now how about a due date? I say, 11/30/2006?

Well, I would say it's controversy, but there's others who want Crazy You. For the sake of not ruffling feathers, I would want to hear them agree to Controversy too... just so everybody's okay - at least enough not to go away mad.

anon? You up for a little controversy?

Thank you, Beau, for reigning this thing in. Controversy it is, or seems to be so far. Don't get me wrong, I would do Crazy You also, but it seems funny how one person putting in three votes for the same song would have any weight.

Lookin' forward to getting started! thumbs up!

p.s: ufoclub, nice touch with the Francois Truffaut quote (though I'd always heard it as "Zey be long ear Mozambique")! wink

It just seems that Crazy You can be done so many more ways...each with a very different flavor.
My only fear with this, is that Grey will be doing it. He liable to leave the hook out. You know how he's always leaving crucial elements out of things...

I'd only want to hear Controversy if it were a completely new take on it.
Why not give the option or either?

I only voted twice. I was about to vote again but I read your comment about that person voting 3x. So funny, I didn't realize you were referring to me. Anyway, Grey voted also.

Really, it doesn't matter which song you do. And I'd hope that no one would go away mad over something like song choice. If it's Controversy, then that's fine. But there are a couple of guys here that could do a really cool guitar rendition of Crazy You.

It's also a much more flexible song. Strong melody etc...
Also, it seems like a good thing that it's a less familiar song.

All this talk about versatility of a song? Are you kidding me? Take any song and make it your bitch.

That's what art is. You take just the lyrics and the arrangement, change the chords, change the tempo, the drum beat, the instrumentation.

Check this out. I pulled this outta my ass last night. It seems far enough from the original. I could pull out everything except the original guitar and bammo I got an acoustic "Mad World" kind of take on Controversy.


Oh - and heh - I counted your vote three times to make my point.

Just call me Karl Rove.

edit: this is the rough. I still got some work on some painful notes here and there.

What else you got in there?

A man walks into a doctor's office.

"What seems to be the problem?" the doctor asks.

The man, a bit ashamed and quite clearly gay, says "I can't tell you - I'm too embarassed" but points to his rear.

The doctor asks the man to bend over the table and lower his pants. Much to the doctor's astonishment, there's a red rose poking out of the man's rear. No sooner does he remove the rose when another one pops out. And another. All total, a dozen roses come out of this man's back door.

"I'm baffled" the doctor says.

"READ THE CARD! READ THE CARD!" the man says.


That's what came to mind when you asked that.

READ THE CARD!!
