Suggestions for future festivals

[Ted]

Rebuttal Fest (originals)
Songs in reaction or in rebuttal to other songs that are already out there -- a Songcrafters song or other published song. We would identify this song in the post, but would say nothing else about it in the post, except within the lyrics and music of the song. I'm mostly thinking about lyrics with which we disagree.
e. g. "Southern Man"/"Sweet Home Alabama"

Nice idea

Yes!

How about a Rain fest. Perhaps better for the summer months when it's hot and dry.

I had a quick look at the festivals but didn't see these:

Kidsongfest - songs for kids (covers or originals)
Disneyfest - covers of songs from a disney movie (or album, I guess)
Soundtrackfest - covers of songs that were used on a movie soundtrack
PublicDomainLyricfest - Use words in the public domain (poems, stories, songs etc.) but put them to your own  new original music.

Suggested future festival is to have lyrics written by AI and then write your own original melody and perform and sing the lyrics.

Recently I generated the following with openAI:

Admit it, T.C., you've never lived in the U.K., have you?

Guilty as charged. And an obvious oversight once you pointed it out.

Think yourselves lucky you don't live in Ireland

I think Rain Fest is a good idea for a fest. Everybody loves to talk about the weather, especially the Brits. So why not put those thoughts into a song? The Beatles thought it was a suitable topic for a song. Were they wrong?

Also, Rain can be a given name. So why not write a song about a person called Rain?
