"Personal Blahblah" August Theme: Funny songs turned Sentimental
 

Basically the theme this month is that you pick a song that is normally funny, serious, or crazy and turn it sentimental.

Post your links here and once the month is almost over, we'll have a couple of sessions during different time zones where we can all listen together on plug.dj!

I'm really excited about this guys!

I'd like to join in, but I'm not capable of being sentimental :(.

Is there a deadline? Or just somewhere towards the end of the month? :)

The deadline is somewhere towards the end of the month! :P

I'll post it in the OP once we get some more people!

I'm in this for sure. I'll try and have it recorded before I go back to school.

Awesomee! I'm so excited!

I personally play drums, so no cover from me, but here's a hilarious sentimental version of a very non-sentimental song! Hopefully it counts.

It doesn't have to be something we've recorded, does it? 'Cause I've posted a video of a local artist making a very satirical song sentimental, but it's not me.

Yeah it has to be you!! :)

Well, damn. Disregard my previous post in this thread.

But the video you posted is not you... is it? :confused:

I was posting it as an example! :D

Ahhhh, gotcha! I don't really have a lot of time to record stuff anymore but I will try to do something by the end of the month :)

You can always participate next month or even just participate in the listening sessions! Either way, we are glad to have you! :)

I'm preparing something although I need to go and buy something to help me record so it'll be a few days.

Take your time!

Halfway through August everyone! Can't wait for submissions! :]

Ok here's mine...

"Dean's Dream"—Dead Milkmen
Goofy lyrics that describe a (presumably real) dream. I love this song because of how much the lyrics seem like the kind of dream I'd have, but there's something beyond that as well, a feeling in the actual tune writing itself that feels like the deep nostalgic soul ache when you think about some great summer night you experienced years ago, now lost to time. Seriously, this is how I feel when I listen to this song.

So are we still allowed to submit something that is another artist's song or do we have to record our own music? I'm so confused by this whole concept.

Oh, it's supposed to be covers? :(

I don't know :confused: I posted something that was like yours J, but then found out it was meant to be something that I have recorded :( But in the originalthread for this idea a few ideas were bumping around that didn't all suggest recording your own music, but more so a way of creating a listening party playlist that included a variety of music. So I have no idea now, I'll have to wait for Arya to respond! :)

They were supposed to be covers but I suppose I didn't explain it well. Just share what you got and we'll listen at the end of the month.

Next month, I'll make it more clear.

Thanks, Arya! :) I haven't had time to do anything this month but I'll try to contribute at some point in the future!

No problem! It'll make things easier for the time being!

Hey everyone! I've been SUPER busy as I got a second job and have hardly even been home to get onto MB. I figure we can set up three times this coming week to listen to the songs that have been suggested here by the members. Soon I will make the next week's thread with a new theme!
