July voting thread for the COMPOSITION CHALLENGE...WOO HOO

[lurksalot]

 

Andy Travis  was on hot form again, with a great tune, and taking the honours for June .

 

His choice for the picture was a cracker, and he offered his wise words...

 

"Seems only right…

At this stage, surely anyone can run a country?

Why not a 30ft pigeon?"

 

 

 

so there we are a great picture to write tunes to and we have a fine selection to choose from, so without further ado , have a listen to these.

 

when done pick your favourite 2 tunes and vote accordingly before midnight on 31st July 

 

 

1   @Dad3353    Little by little, by stealth, Evolution is relentlessly creeping up on us all. Some species are faster at it than others, all the more so using mimicry.

 

 

 

 

 

2  @AndyTravis    “well, I’ve said I’m sorry…what more do they want?!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

3  @Leonard Smalls  Hey Mr Big Pigeon with your enormous feet and puffed-out chest! You be flexin'! 

 

 

 

 

 

4  Lurksalot    I didn't get to put a lyric over this .... but it probably helps 

 

 

 

 

 

5  @Jean-Luc Pickguard   In the heart of London’s bustling financial district, Tarquin toils away, gazing out of his office window at the birds soaring freely. Envious of their liberty, he yearns to become a pigeon. In an unexpected twist, he transforms into a colossal 12-foot pigeon—ironically, one that remains grounded. Now, with wings too heavy to lift, he continues his daily grind, navigating the corporate world as an oversized avian.

 

 

 

 

 

 

6 @upside downer  There's been a coup (coo?) and Britain wakes up to a 10ft tall genetically modified pigeon as PM. And, why not? However, the choice of Chancellor rankles and our Tom Waits-lite narrator isn't impressed. He'd rather a Looney Tunes alternative, but dare not speak out as the totalitarian reign begins and the big clock is on the blink...

 

 

 

Oh My what a bunch 

 

Good luck separating them  

 

vote for your fave 2  even if you have to stick a pin in your PC , flip it for heads and tails a couple of times, or even 'ip dip dip' it... 

 

Do it before midnight on 31st July to bestow the picture choice on one of these fine tunesmiths.

 

enjoy

@Dad3353

@Jean-Luc Pickguard

@upside downer

[Leonard Smalls]

Yellow!

And finally managed to get nul points - perhaps the secret is to rock as opposed to to jazz!

[upside downer]

Vermillion?
