Oh-crap fest, songs of doing something really really foolish and getting noticed
Swamp fest, songs of the bayous & swap people
Redneck fest, songs from redneck country.

Here's your chance to test out that new washboard, jug and wash-tub you got at the general store

The OneSongFest - choose one song (for the entire festival) - and everyone has to do their take on that one song! Might be boring, might be fun! They would certainly need to be different!

Okay - as I'm on a roll of craziness - a morph fest. You get given a song and a style (jazz, hiphop, blues etc) or even 'in the style of' another band and you have to produce that song in the given style. We could take a back catalog of a prolific artist (say Dylan, Beatles, Stones etc). So you may get 'All along the watch tower', in the style of, say, Hendrix .... hang on, that's been done - but you get the picture. Actual we could randomly generate a list - and you can choose the one to do. Would be a challenge!!!!

Excellent idea!!! "Stairway to heaven" in the style of Beach Boys... "Good vibration" in the style of AC/DC... "Highway to hell" in the style of Bob Dylan, etc 

We already kinda did that one really..It was called Recyclefest Check it out..There are good ones on there!

Sorry, you are right oups

OneSongFest  is also an excellent idea!!!

............this is what we should do!!

                   SMITHSFEST

Morrissey songs could also be included.

Worked well for U2 but The Smiths are better IMO.

- voiceFest ..... only the human voice allowed for making sounds.
