The Beatles are winning by +1 vote now
It's weird how tactical voting veers wildly in the last few days before the cut-off!

Summer... vying for top-spot with the Beatles. This is like Whacky Races!!!!! Btw, this is how NOT to do a summer-themed song, lol. My GREAT hero Marc Bolan making a total lyrical arse of himself. 'Summer's not a bummer / it's a stunner / and it's now' We can do better than that can't we?! Still a damn catchy tune though. And no-one else could get away with wearing leopard print like that, lol |

Just realised the bassline at the start of that is exactly the same as 'Neat Neat Neat' by the Damned... |

You guys really want a Beatles Fest? I'll change my vote if I can be convinced of why we should have one!  And where is the rule description for what a summer song really is? I don't want to find out after the fact that I have to use a f*cking kazoo or something. |

Well seeing as I wanted comedy/ parody etc. and it's no longer in the running. I still want a comedy theme and I'm ***** if I'm going to do "Maxwells Silver Hammer" - so my votes switched to summer songs.
Summer in the UK is a joke isn't it? |

Usually, yes. This year's has been one long sun-fest so far though. Well it has down South. 1976 was a scorcher too, lol. Everything inbetween hasn't been very memorable! I already did an English summer kind of song... 'Our English Coasts': "It's supposed to be our summer / but the sunshine hasn't deigned to do it's thing". |

here is the rule description for what a summer song really is:
* The title MUST contain the word summer, rain or thunderstorm
* Only grumpy songs allowed
* You have to use a f*cking kazoo
* No bass allowed
* If harmony vox are used they must be BTBB (better than Beach Boys)
* You cannot use verbs with more than 3 letters
* You must smile while recording.
* Posting of songs not accompanied by pics of blondes will be deleted !!
* 4/4 is not allowed (3/4 only by dispensation (application form found in the basement) )
* If you have any four-legged creature in your houshold, you must stand on one leg when recording.
* Sweedish, Finnish and Urdu are the only acceptable languages |

What is a summer song? And where is the rule description for what a summer song really is? I don't want to find out after the fact that I have to use a f*cking kazoo or something. A summer song is any song with a strong summer theme. Most have the word "summer" in the title: - "Summer in the City" - The Lovin' Spoonful
- "Summertime" - George Gershwin, etc.
- "Summertime Blues" - Eddie Cochran, Blue Cheer, The Who, etc.
- "Hot Fun in the Summertime" - Sly & the Family Stone
- "A Summer Song" - Chad and Jeremy
- "Summer Holiday" - Cliff Richard and The Shadows
- "The Boys of Summer" - Don Henley
etc. But that isn't a requirement. There are lots of summer songs that don't include the word "summer" in the title: - "Surfin' Safari" - The Beach Boys (or almost anything by The Beach Boys)
- "California Sun" - The Riverias
- "Under The Boardwalk" - The Drifters
- "(I'm A) Girl Watcher" - The O'Kaysions
- "School's Out" - Alice Cooper
- "Rockaway Beach" The Ramones
- "Walking on Sunshine" - Katrina and The Waves
- "Margaritaville" - Jimmy Buffet
etc. And, of course, original songs with a strong summer theme are also welcome. |
