xgsjx Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Oooh! I like that. Just need to come up with a choon to fit! Quote
the boy Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Folky, don't go out in the boat Michael type music is in my head right now but it's all over the place. I think this will be a very interesting month. Quote
lurksalot Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 From inspiring , to tumbleweed via interesting in 3 posts Quote
Bilbo Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 The tumbleweed is more about me that it is about the picture It'll come. Quote
Annoying Twit Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Work is underway. Whether I'll end up with something I can submit, that's another question. Whether I faff about with all sorts of things and then have significant inspiration on the morning of submission when it's too late, that's yet another question. But, I do have my finger out. Quote
lurksalot Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 That's the spirit Lurksalittle is a bit miffed with my choice of pic as she said I promised to use a photo of her and some mates dressed in horror make up , I did say I would do it , but that was the month before when she helped me , she bailed this month as she wouldn't sing the the 'powdered penis soup' line However, she gave a very quizical look when I said I had won , so I think she now has a bit more respect for her dads song writing prowess . It might be easier to get some help now I have a pedigree Quote
fingers211 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 "It might be easier to get some help now I have a pedigree " I take it we're passed the bribary stage ? Must admit to being in the same camp as Bilbo at the moment, which is strange because at first glance I thought it was an excellent choice of picture, especially for an ol' matelot !! Got on the guitar an came up with the theme tune to an old 60's program Quote
the boy Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Powdered penis..... What are you like???? Quote

lurksalot Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) [quote name='the boy' timestamp='1441222391' post='2857121'] Powdered penis..... What are you like???? [/quote] I did some research on tigers , it is not good news for the things in the wild , they have some dodgy 'farms' in China breeding them for traditional medicines , they call them reserves , as they are not allowed to farm them , the way the Far East are killing them is criminal . The rich Chinese pay up to £500 for a soup containing a small amount of powdered tiger penis , it is good for virility according to 'traditional' beliefs Edited September 2, 2015 by lurksalot Quote
Annoying Twit Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 OMG! I have a complete set of lyrics, verse and chorus melody, and only a bridge and mutant verse/chorus coda music to write. Some arrangement progress has been made too. However, I may have painted myself into a corner, as the feel of the song strongly suggests that I break out the fretless acoustic bass. Houston, we may have a problem. Quote
Skol303 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Right... I'm back from the depths of sunny Wales! [i](I even managed to get sun-burnt. In September. Quite amazing, really. Good ol' global warming, eh?).[/i] Well done to Lurks on last month's win! Great track. And a good choice of image for September; very dramatic. I like it Also, well done to everyone else who took part last month. A fine crop, as per usual. Now to get our chops around this month's challenge. Usual by-laws apply: no bagpipes; and newly added: no lyrics about powdered animal penises. Well, not until after tea time. Bleurg! Quote
Annoying Twit Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) But these are the lyrics that I've written so far!!!! Go grab your bagpipes Bring all your Scottish friends No need to wear anything under the kilt We're gonna party 'til the night ends We'll get some haggis made from Powdered animal penises Powdered animal penises Your mum says it's good for you Powdered animal penises Powdered animal penises Edited September 3, 2015 by Annoying Twit Quote

I think it needs a bit more penis. Also if you find a word that rhymes with penises it would be a hit. Quote

Proceed with caution, I say... hisses kisses misses missus dismisses reminisces Hiss's Mrs Suisse's ceases creases lease's leases niece's nieces pieces decreases increases police's polices releases Greece's I'm not going to try to make a silk purse out of all that...

lurksalot Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 While trying to rhyme things with penis I find the whole saga quite heinous when you think of the trick you can do with a prick I'm not sure that its intravenous Quote
the boy Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 The picture keeps repeating the opening line of a shania twain song over and over in my head. "Looks like we made it🎼🎶....... Quote
