The 30th Song Contest Does The Right Thing And Rides The Bomb To Hell

#1

Post by dmboogie »

hey it's me again been a while, howre you doing friends : )
THIS AIN'T A SCENE IT'S A GOD DAMN SONG CONTEST.


that's right. what's right? what's going on? you know.

Your song needs to have a title that is 5 or more words long. If your song has a title of 10 or more words, you'll get a bonus of 12 free points per round.

notes: I'm willing to count stuff like (Pt. 2) as part of the song - that'd count as two words. However, I will NOT count feature credits as part of a song's title.

The People Who Have Signed Up For This Lovely Song Contest And Will Send Me A Song Soon:

send me songs through board pm or discord please

signups end in, i dunno, two days? 4/21/19, 11:59 PM, EST. I reserve the right to start the contest early if I get enough submissions; but as usual I won't close song submissions until the end of round 1. Note: I will probably start the contest early, because I am an impatient bastard. keep those eyes peeeeeeeeeled

So what if all we ever draw is a nude man, or the same nude man over and over in all sorts of provocative positions? Context, not content! Process, not subject! Don't be so gauche, Steve, it's beneath you."
