As well as the Emperor Gum entry I wrote most of the DonutWorthy one too. I would say that the characters in both songs finish happy, but the songs themselves aren't happy. My bad.<br /><br />For various reasons, Frequency was done the day of the deadline. For me that's not enough time to write a good song and it shows.

The first draft of our song involved Death at a Luau attempting to retrieve a soul, but frustrated at his lack of success because the servers kept getting in his way. <br /><br />I really wanted to use a Ukulele just to annoy Sammy and Joe, but I don't own one. It would have brought the happy on, oh, so many levels. Maybe we'll do it as a shadow when Al's back from the west coast.BoffoYuxDudeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17624450251550794094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2879423042436496329.post-22291875955621395212011-06-25T10:08:29.851-04:002011-06-25T10:08:29.851-04:00Sammy -

We couldn't have asked for a better softball right up our alley, and because of outside influences Al and I had little interaction on this one. So that was a little frustrating, but it happens.<br /><br />However, I also hate just quitting on a challenge, so we managed to cobble this ditty together. Looking back, it did forget to bring the happy, and instead went the angry rant route. Funny in it's own way, but it deviated from the intended challenge. We did use the word 'happy' but the tune didn't convey that sentiment in the end product. <br /><br />I do have to salute Sammy for slogging through the huge amount of songs. This was not an undertaking for the squeamish. And points for doing the shadows first. I've often complained that shadows get the short end of the stick, and it's nice to see them getting a little recognition and encouragement.<br /><br />And for those who aren't familiar with Sammy's past work, the venom isn't from a place of hate. This negative reinforcement is an attempt to get you to think about your song rationally, and build from his comments to do better work. If you don't believe him, look in the mirror and do better the next time. We all suck in one form or another. Embrace it, learn from it, and move on. <br /><br />Then tell Sammy to piss off and show him how full of crap he is by hitting the next challenge out of the park. Simple, right? <br /><br />Welcome to the concept of Negative Reinforcement. Learn it. There will be a quiz later. <br /><br />TomBoffoYuxDudeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17624450251550794094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2879423042436496329.post-9479324976573339822011-06-25T09:44:57.218-04:002011-06-25T09:44:57.218-04:00Though some of these reviews were off-the-mark or ...Though some of these reviews were off-the-mark or a overly cruel (ya THINK?!), I'm actually kind of jazzed about Dr.Lindyke's. Apparently the Don Rickles of Music couldn't find anything wrong with it other than the title, and to me that's high praise. Besides, I'm just fine with the title. ;)<br /><br />You can't wake me if it's over, Sam.

The point of entering SpinTunes is to MAKE ME WRITE SONGS, else I won't get any better.<br /><br />But in my head, it meets the challenge.

Sammy, do you get embarrassed or feel stupid when you make negative assumptions that are wrong? Or, are you far removed from these reviews and don't actually care about them at all?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17088480851990285059noreply@blogger.com
