Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Me and my mates have often flicked through the music channels listening to utter shite and got to the end of the channels and decided to write a number one hit. It can NOT be that hard. Then we drink too much and forget about it. I've thought the same abotu sitcoms. I honestly think if I put my mind to it, I could write a show that gets on BBC3 Create a thread and we can all work on it in a collaborating type way. I am sure each of us has a funny type thing to add in at the right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 5, 2012 Moderator Share Posted July 5, 2012 Sitcom by committee. We could make it intentionally incongruous. That could be the underlying joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted July 5, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 5, 2012 An intriguing idea. But I'm deadly serious, I think I could do it. I even have a "situation" which I'm pretty sure has never been done. I'm not telling you **** though, bwahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted July 5, 2012 Author VT Supporter Share Posted July 5, 2012 It's like me and my fantasy novel parody from some thread or other. Writes itself. Anyway, back to Born in the USA, I wouldn't say it's just the same words over and over. The chorus, sure, but that's what choruses do. The verses are pretty neat (although personally I hate the record because of the production): Born down in a dead man town The first kick I took was when I hit the ground You end up like a dog that's been beat too much Till you spend half your life just covering up Born in the u.s.a., I was born in the u.s.a. I was born in the u.s.a., born in the u.s.a. Got in a little hometown jam So they put a rifle in my hand Sent me off to a foreign land To go and kill the yellow man Born in the U.S.A... Come back home to the refinery Hiring man said son if it was up to me Went down to see my v.a. man He said son, don't you understand I had a brother at Khe Sahn Fighting off the Viet Cong They're still there, he's all gone He had a woman he loved in Saigon I got a picture of him in her arms now Down in the shadow of the penitentiary Out by the gas fires of the refinery I'm ten years burning down the road Nowhere to run aint got nowhere to go Born in the u.s.a., I was born in the u.s.a. Born in the u.s.a., I'm a long gone daddy in the u.s.a. Born in the u.s.a., born in the u.s.a. Born in the u.s.a., I'm a cool rocking daddy in the u.s.a.

leviramsey Posted July 5, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 5, 2012 While we are wondering about songs.I have wondered in the past how someone can actually sit down and write the words to a song like, "Born in the USA" or "Buffalo Girls"Don't understand. Why those particular songs? Songwriters write lyrics, it's like writing poetry. Sometimes the words come first, sometimes the music does. Sometimes they come together. You just think about what you want to say, and say it, working some rhythm and rhyming in as appropriate. Perhaps we should have a VT songwriters' workshop. Example of "music mostly first": "Memory" (demo) (the Load-era demos reveal how much that period of Metallica was the Hetfield-Ulrich experience...) "The Memory Remains" The riffs, one solo, and basically the entire vocal melody (incl. the Marianne Faithful bit) were in place but most of the lyrics came later.

PussEKatt Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 What about the Buffalo Girls song ? I don`t know all the words but it goes something like this. 14 Buffalo girls go round and round Round and round round and round 13 Buffalo girls go round and round Round and round round and round 12 Buffalo girls go round and round Round and round round and round Etc etc etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaztonVilla Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Why, in each of the several meeting rooms at work they have put up A4 size photographs of the room. The same room you're in. So if you decide to do a "break out session" and rearrange the furniture, there's a handy guide on the wall to remind you how to put things back.

But nobody "wrote" it - it's a childrens' skipping song. Folk tradition. Trad arr. playground.
