Default It's Halloween - I Want Thanksgiving Songs

It dawned on me today that it is Halloween. Unfortunately, I've got my head stuck so deep into the orphus of work that I forget that the Earth keeps spinning. We watched the original Halloween tonight and there is nothing to get you into the Holiday spirit like watching a madman in a mask mutilate two teenage sinners. (Lesson: Keep it in your pants, junior).



Okay, so now that I'm the Holiday cheer, I wanted to throw out an idea.

Why don't we have a Thanksgiving Song contest?
The winner gets The Expert Encyclopedia which you can see at Amazon.

I have absolutely no way to really do a contest like this. NONE! While I love competing (and completely crushing people to death) I've always considered "competition" and music to be an illogical pair. The definition of music is "no competition"....or maybe it has something to do with sound.

So I have no idea how we'll get people to write a bunch of dumb (or not so dumb) Thanksgiving songs, but I want to give it a try for a few reasons.
  1. The stores were hitting aggresively hitting Christmas hard a few days ago. I love Christmas...BUT ONLY DURING CHRISTMAS TIME!!!!
  2. I can't think of one Thanksgiving song
  3. I already have a chorus...."Get fat....take it from the Indians"
  4. I like the idea that there will be retarded rock songs and in the same bunch will be serious songs. I want to be forced to choose between a REAL song and dumb piece of cock rock. I swear that we will solve this in some non-communist, non-dictator (boring) method.

So what do you guys think?

If you are in, I'm scheduling some sessions tomorrow!

Brandon

This is a great idea! Songwriters are known to put a lot of thought into their songs, sometimes too much thought. A deadline and a theme will allow a writer to simply get something down. Movie Soundtracks sometimes produce great songs because the writers are over-lamenting their skill; they don't have the time. Some of the best songs in history are quite simple when you break them down. contest?............it's on!!!

Being new to these forums, it's only natural that I say hello and that I will destroy all of you with my incredible Thanksgiving song.

thankyou.

Hey Brandon,
I think your really on to something here!!! BUT, somehow we need to raise the stakes a little...we need to put something out there that people would REALLY want to compete for. Perhaps some recording software or a mic or something.
There has to be a company out there who would find it reasonable (in advertising terms) to give up something in return for the face time, isn't there?
I know I'm in for sure. In fact (by pure coincidence) I'm in the process of writing a song called "Thanks to you", to my wife for looking after me while I struggled with cancer for a year. She refused to leave my side when most women would have split!
Antway, I'm in!!! Let me know if there's anything I can do on my end!!!
