JPF Home Page Forums Lyric and MP3 Feedback Creative Challenge Forum The JPF Cover Challenge: First, We Pick One

That "Nowhere Man" Challenge was interesting. It began as an "uncoverable" cover challenge...and we ended up picking a really easy one. Hey, it could have been "Bohemian Rhapsody"... :o

So Big Jim asked me to post this thread for the next challenge, which we have arbitrarily decided. We'll do others too, but for now, it's a Just Plain Folks Cover Challenge.

What we would like to do is choose an original work by a Just Plain Folks member, and cover it. In this first step, we ask you to offer up an original song or lyric of your own that you'd be willing to let others cover. We will accept these entries on this thread from now until Sunday night, March 8th. On Monday, I'll make a poll, and we can all choose which lyric or song we will cover.

If it's a song that gets voted in, the challenge is to cover it as you see fit. If it's a lyric that gets voted in, the challenge is to write the music for it.

Since this challenge is strictly for the purposes of education and fun, the original song or lyric will remain the property of the composer and/or lyricist, and our subsequent covers are only to be used for this challenge...any other uses will need permission from the original writer. So understand: all entrants who submit anything to this thread, by entering, agree to their stuff being used and abused and covered in any which way during the challenge. And anyone who covers the song or writes music to the lyric must be willing to let it end there...after all, imagine one lyric and 12 songs...kind of a tangled web, yes? So the original writer will hold all the decision power about subsequent use of the piece...if you're uncomfortable with that arrangement, best not play. But we think that you should.

I'll make the selection poll on Monday, we'll vote for two days, and the challenge will be on come Wednesday, March 11. Songs will come due on April 1st.

Meanwhile, no joke. If you would like to submit a song to be covered or a lyric to be composed to, submit ONE (that's one, folks) on this thread.

Let the games begin!

-Mark & Big Jim

Well, I was going to suggest us all covering "Sweet Transvestite" from the Rocky Horror Picture Show *pictures certain male JPF members in a feather boa! :D* but the JPF member songs or lyrics sound good too. This will be a first for me so I'm really looking forward to it!

Okay, Mark--I'll bite. Here is [drum roll] The Song That Was Rejected by American Idol in 2007, "Rotten Candy." I never have gotten a good recording of it, though it gets played a lot live. I always thought it would sound good with a vocalist of the femasle persuasion--but I'm obviously living proof that it is possible for a guy to sing it. Have fun--and if you use it, I will be real curious to hear what the results come out like.

ROTTEN CANDY
--J. Wrabek

1.
When I get home from work at night, there’s no one here but me,
And that great big gaping empty spot where your love used to be;
The dresser drawers are open, no TV or stereo,
‘Cause you took nearly ev’rything the day I watched you go.

CHORUS:
Broken heart, wilted flowers, rotten candy on the floor,
And emptiness a-waitin’ just beyond the bedroom door;
I guess I should have noticed you didn’t love me any more—
Broken heart, wilted flowers, rotten candy on the floor.

2.
A photograph of you and me hangs lonesome on the wall,
Reminding me you took away what mattered most of all;
The life we had together you’ve sold off to someone new,
And in its place is empty space I want to fill with you.

CHORUS:
Broken heart, wilted flowers, rotten candy on the floor,
And emptiness a-waitin’ just beyond the bedroom door;
I guess I should have noticed you didn’t love me any more—
Broken heart, wilted flowers, rotten candy on the floor.

BRIDGE
(SAME CHORD PROGRESSION AS CHORUS):
My friends say I should just go out and find somebody new;
They don’t realize how much of me you took with you;
If I had to do it over, I’d hold on to my heart—
It’s so difficult to piece together what you’ve torn apart.

CHORUS:
Broken heart, wilted flowers, rotten candy on the floor,
And emptiness a-waitin’ just beyond the bedroom door;
I guess I should have noticed you didn’t love me any more—
Broken heart, wilted flowers, rotten candy on the floor.

[BREAK]

BRIDGE:
My friends say I should just go out and find somebody new;
They don’t realize how much of me you took with you;
If I had to do it over, I’d hold on to my heart—
It’s so difficult to piece together what you’ve torn apart.

CHORUS:
Broken heart, wilted flowers, rotten candy on the floor,
And emptiness a-waitin’ just beyond the bedroom door;
I guess I should have noticed you didn’t love me any more—
Broken heart, wilted flowers, rotten candy on the floor.
Broken heart, wilted flowers, rotten candy on the floor.

Shoosh Polly do not let my secret out....I have been known to sing that song......I also have played Riff Raff (the faithful man servant) in a production of this classic rock op. I will dig out a version of Sweet T and post it for you to hear.

edit PS My daughter does a mean version of "Over at the Frankenstein place" might post that as well.

Joe, I LOVE that song! I would love to cover that. So, help my feeble little mind understand here...iffin we voted, by chance, to cover Joe's song, could I wrestle with it a little bit, maybe change a word or two, maybe sing a couple of notes differently? Not that your song isn't perfect, Joe, it IS, but my voice is different than yours.

HA HA Jim! BTW, I love "Over at the Frankenstein Place"...found myself singing it in the car a few times. I used to go see the Rocky Horror Picture Show in the theater every Saturday night when I was 16...threw toast, threw rice, put the newspaper over my head, had a squirt bottle, knew all the lines. I smoked a lot of pot back then.

Cincy, yes. I have been asked that before by folks who have wanted to cover one of my songs, and the answer has always been "yes." (Keep in mind that is not a lot of people.)

When I played with the Dodson Drifters, we regularly improved people's material we covered (with two writers in the band, there was rather a lot of hubris going around)--we even improved Bob Dylan (we considered nothing sacred). When you do somebody else's material, you have to be able to put your own spin on it. Go for it. And don't worry.

Joe

Thank You

Why not? We wanted to do two things: include more people, and not have an extremely confusing contest. But I think adding an instrumental piece to be played with fits the spirit of this particular challenge. So count yourself in, Kaley!

"TOO LITTLE TIME"

Too many times I've longed for a love

Too little time for life
So for now we'll love today

Too little time for life

Thank you for any considerations,
John Daubert

So it is settled then Entries can be one of the following provided they are original pieces written by a JPF member.

1. Existing song.. lyrics and music to be covered in any style
2. lyrics only..... add music in any style we choose.
3. Music only...... compose lyrics and cover it...

re the music only...if that is chosen I suggest we can use the original as a backing track..... or using the melody and chord structure we do our own alternative version either making a song by adding lyrics or as an alternative intrumental version.

This is just a bit of fun...we want people to experiment with lyrics and music... try doing something outside your own comfort zone...push the boundaries.
As Mark said all entrants must be prepared to have your song hung drawn and quartered.... all in the name of fun and education....we hope you have fun and work within the spirit of this challenge. Thanks to all who are going to participate

I wasn't going to enter a song because, well, what fun would that be for me? I like the challenge of interpreting someone else's

Then it occurred to me that if we all felt that way, who would suggest a song?

I looked for one that could go a few different ways stylistically, that could be sung by either gender, and that at least had the variety of a bridge in it. Down side is that I expect it is easier to play on the keys than on a guitar.

My entry is Champion:

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=377550&songID=6832815

Lyric follows:

Champion
(c) 2008 by SW Campbell

While others claim the lens and lights
As if it’s their God-given right
You toil away in lone obscurity
In a quest to capture gold
You take the higher, harder road
That’s why you are a champion to me

It came down to one day all along
When with a billion looking on
You have but moments to fulfill your destiny
But of the pressure that you face
You exhibit not a trace
That’s why you are a champion to me

How many times we hear that good guys finish last
How many times that seems the case
Yet now how many times the world has seen you act
With such humility and grace

In the hype of the event
It’s sometimes easy to forget
That after all you’re just a human being
But one of rare few who succeed
In showing us what we could be
That’s why you are a champion to me

OK, I'll join in. This is one I just put up for critique. I always felt it was worth more of something but have no imagination as to what that might be. It's really simple, chords available upon request. Is this place great or what?

IT WILL BE
© Ricki E. Bellos

Face to face
Eye to eye
In this space
There are no lies
Take the time
One on one
With a smile
You’ve just begun

It’s not a dream to live this way
Not a fantasy to have this everyday
It will be
It will be

Love’s fire burns
In the heart
Life’s lessons learned
Healing starts
When it’s love you hold
In your hand
What you live is
Peace, love and understanding

It’s not a dream to live this way
Not a fantasy to have this everyday
It will be
It will be

It’s not a dream to live this way
Not a fantasy to have this everyday
Desire, ask, believe, receive
It will be
Desire, ask, believe, receive
It will be
Desire, ask, believe, receive
It will be

Scott we could always let the persons whose entry has been picked to cover one of the other songs so they can take part.

Good idea, Jim. I like that.

Joe

How about this: enter your own song, you do a new and different version of it?

(I shouldn't be the only one expressing opinions here.) Yes, I think that would work, too. I've been itchin' to have our band record "Rotten Candy"--they do such a good job of it. (And that's if you pick mine, of course. I ain't 'spectin' no miracles, here. You've got a lot of good material to choose from.)

Joe

We do not want hard and fast rules.... we want a bit of fun...a challenge..... something to take us out of our confort zone..... something we can experiment with...I am open to all ideas...as long as they are legal and ethical and invlove consenting adults....

Hi Guys !
Okay - I'm game - this is one that I like and Totally intend on doing a better job on it, but just haven't gotten back to it. But it could be a fun one, I think jm

I'm Gonna Take That Train © joice marie 2007

While Amtrac passes Balloch's Crossing
My thoughts fly like the train
Thinking 'bout the people riding
Between the drops of rain

Are they heading out to the countryside
checking out the views?
Or running from a lover's fight
Trying to start brand new?

Chorus
As Each day is dawning
the train rolls through
Each night it comes back home
One of these days
I'm gonna take that train
And find my way to you
Find my way to you

You left me on a gray cold morning
Off to try something new
The walls are closing in, you warned
There's nothing else to do

You'd send me word of where you were
When I should go meet you
I search lonely faces, the train rides through
And still no call or clue

lift to music break....
One of these days, I'm gonna take that train
and find my way to you

short music break - hook

Bridge

A lot of question leave me wondering
Weighing on my mind
If I take the train to you
Tell me what I'll find

Chorus
As each day is dawning
the train rolls through
Each night it comes back home
One of these days
I'm gonna take that train
And find my way to you

riding out into blue
Just to find my way to you

outro -hook

I don't think I can do this one, but I'm putting it up b/c it would be kind of fun to try and cover. My Mexican show-tune folks. "It's a part of my cycle, my trilogy" she says in her Nigel voice.

This is the Copa Cabana in Mexico..with a ghost.

Ghost of Mexico
Wendy DuMond

1.
On a rainy windswept night
In old Tijuana
Along the mall
across from the city square
I found myself in the middle
Of a drama
For they say the spirit
Of a woman lingers there

She told me
She'd seen me in a vision
Said I used to
dance like Fred Astaire
I told her
she must have been mistaken
But she said it was me
And she didn't care

(Chorus)
I'm dancing...
With the Ghost of Mexico
Holding her tight
to music sad and slow
There in my arms
I felt her supple charms
And saw things that
Happened long ago
Dancing...
With the Ghost of Mexico

2.
She told me
she was a singer
A regular in
the Gold room
For she was a beauty
A dead ringer
of Rita Hayworth,
down to
her perfume

She spoke to me
of an antidote
Said she'd show me
where she buried the treasure
And then we were floating
and my mind was noting
how the wind and the rain
passed right through her

(Chorus)
I'm dancing...
With the Ghost of Mexico
Holding her tight
to music sad and slow
There in my arms
I felt her supple charms
And saw things that
Happened long ago
Dancing...
With the Ghost of Mexico

3.
We went hand in hand
down the alley
And stopped just behind
the old high school
And there she sang me
her finale
And showed me
her chest of jewels

She took a vial of liquid
from inside her coat
Told me to drink it
and be strong
Swore she didn't mean it
And as I began to drink it
She vanished at the
end of her song

(Chorus)
I'm dancing...
With the Ghost of Mexico
Holding her tight
to music sad and slow
There in my arms
I felt her supple charms
And saw things that
Happened long ago
Dancing...
With the Ghost of Mexico

Dancing...
with the Ghost of Mexico

Here's a happy one for the mix... (needs a melody)

"I'm Walkin' On The Sunny Side"
[size:8pt](c)2008 Lynn Orloff[/size]

I’m walkin’ on the sunny side,
I’m lookin’ at the funny side,
I only see a sky that’s wrapped in blue,
I’ve had enough of rainy days,
I wanna’ watch parading days,
My mind’s made up that’s what I’m gonna’ do.

I'm singin' out a happy song,
I'm hopin' that you'll sing along,
And if we sing off key no one will know,
An attitude can make or break,
So smile wide for goodness sake,
You’ll soon be clapping hands and tapping toes.

Life’s road has lots of bumps and gets a little crooked now and then,
But all you have to do is trade that frown in for a grin...

I’m skippin’ down the avenue,
That rainbow’s comin’ into view,
There’s nothin’ that can take my joy away,
I’m walkin’ on the sunny side,
I happy just to be alive,
I’m walkin on the sunny side,
I’m havin’ me a real good time,
I’m walkin’ on the sunny side of life!!

Ah, what the heck....

“Garden of Little White Lies”
© 2008 Lyrics Beth Williams, BMI / Music & Vocals Steve Biederman

Timing was never their strong suit
So they just kept their eyes on the prize
And planted fake smiles on their faces
In their garden of little white lies

Day after day though, they hungered
For each other, and no more goodbyes
Relied on their dreams to sustain them
In their garden of little white lies

Pre-Chorus:
But twisting the truth can cause judgment to fade
And secrets get slippery when no one’s afraid

Chorus:
Those little white lies
Grew up 'round their thighs
As they played in the shade of their garden
But plant a black seed
It blooms twisted and bleeds
A minefield with no room for bargain

Harvest time came without warning
With haste, a gate left open wide
Then all came to stare at the two unaware
In their garden of little white lies

Pre-Chorus:
Their love and their fate had been one in the same
Until they made up their own rules to the game

Chorus repeat

Chorus 2:
Those little white lies
Grew up 'round their thighs
As they played in the shade of their garden
But plant a black seed
It blooms twisted and bleeds
A minefield with no room TO bargain

Yeah, I'll throw down too. This one isn't hard, and it's gender-neutral. It would be a trip to hear other versions. If it gets picked, then I guess I'll have to do a death metal version or something. :-P

Wanderlust

I don’t mind doing time
But too much makes me blue
I’ve got a wanderlust, honey
How about you?

That highway sign sure looks fine
So why not go today?
I’ve got a wanderlust, honey
Let’s fly away

Santa Fe or Morro Bay
So many wonderful places for making love
No stone to drag, just a sleeping bag
And a full moon up above

I would love to see you and me
Chasing stars on the highway
If you’ve got a wanderlust, honey
We could leave today

Tennessee is fine with me
There isn’t a place on this map that goes too far
And I like the way you walk and I like the way you talk
But honey I love the way you drive my car

Yes I need you today, but either way
I’ll be gone by two
‘Cause I’ve got a wanderlust, honey
I’m hoping you do too

I don’t mind doing time
But too much makes me blue
I’ve got a wanderlust, honey
I’m hoping you do too


(Copyright 2009 by Mark Kaufman)

Ok in my long hiatus I've been longing to get back involved again (longing or lusting?) either way this looks like a great opportunity to throw my hat in the ring! I just recently got a bass and am itching to lay down some tracks! But just for kicks I'll post something I wrote recently that was shocking to me. I can't believe this flowed out of my consciouness and onto paper, but here it is


Freewheel thoughts

1st Verse
Antagonistic blues sliding through my soul
Developing the chains as the prison’s taken hold
Misbegotten lies challenging reality
Diving underneath the waves of my own philosophy

Pre-Chorus
Bringing on illumination to a multitude of masses
From varied economic, race and social classes
Perestroika on a pendulum striking fear into our hearts
Watch our federation government put the horse before the cart

Chorus
Freewheel thoughts
Like spokes inside a wheel
Engines full reverse
On the irony of steel
Free wheel thoughts
Spinning round my mind
Let the burning sun
Send sight to the blind
Freewheel thoughts
Of the inverted kind

2nd Verse
Spoken word manipulations of the writing on the wall
Twisting speeches into rhetoric in our nation’s Courts and Halls
Pushing thin vivacious beauty for the prominence of sin
See religious leaders falling as the devil starts to win

Pre-Chorus
Acrimonious indignation as human flesh rots in the street
As the liars and the charlatans forge their names beside the deed
Dedicate yourself to nothing as your soul writhes in the dust
As your ridin’ on the bubble remember someday it’ll bust

Chorus
Freewheel thoughts
Like spokes inside a wheel
Engines full reverse
On the irony of steel
Free wheel thoughts
Spinning round my mind
Let the burning sun
Send sight to the blind
Freewheel thoughts
Of the inverted kind

Bridge
Patronizing patriots parroting posted paraphernalia.
Resurrected Righteous rogues robed in random regalia.

Chorus
Freewheel thoughts
Like spokes inside a wheel
Engines full reverse
On the irony of steel
Free wheel thoughts
Spinning round my mind
Let the burning sun
Send sight to the blind
Freewheel thoughts
Of the inverted kind

Now that RPM is over maybe I can join in the fun. Here's a tune that could be done as is (with new music) or heck, write another verse/bridge. Change a word here and there it could go as a female singing, too.

Indian Casino
(© Kevin Emmrich 2007)


Well I tried to talk to my baby
She’s always in a hurry to go
I want to be serious, talk about things
But she just always says no
I’ve lost my baby to the Indian Casino

The neon lights are flashing
The pretty boys are dancing
The drinks are flowing
And the lights are down low
I say this for real, but she says “Hey, shut up and deal”
I lost my baby to the Indian Casino

The bank account is low, the bills are high
I don’t know where to turn, it makes me want to cry
She says ‘What’s the Fuss”, but she needs Gambler’s Anonymous
I’ve lost my baby to the Indian Casino

Well I tried to talk to my baby
She’s always in a hurry to go
I want to be serious, talk about things
But she just always says no
I’ve lost my baby to the Indian Casino

I’ve lost my baby to the Indian Casino
I’ve lost my dreams to the Indian Casino

Thanks folks good response so far... we have some great stuff to get our teeth into.....

Derek Welcome back we all missed you....glad to see you are joining in the fun.

Mark....nice new avatar.... obviously a tribute to George Michael.

1984...what can I say?

Well, what an interesting challenge! I posted this last year for critique and it’s still evolving! I think it could be sung by either male or female….

Now is Forever
©2008 Kristi McKeever

I know this feeling well
It’s loyal like a friend
I’ve gone and done it now
Found love by accident

Pure luck is in my corner
Cuz the world is a big place
How do kindred spirits meet
And share life with an embrace

(lift)
We hold hands with time because

(ch)
Now is forever
When I’m with you
Moments don’t matter
Just these feelings do
Your tender gaze
Falls soft on my face
Now is forever
When love celebrates

Perhaps we needed to wait
See all of life’s true colors
Learn what best friends look like so
We would recognize each other

(lift)
We’ll share the best of times because

(ch)
Now is forever
When I’m with you
Moments don’t matter
Just these feelings do
Your tender gaze
Falls soft on my face
Now is forever
When love celebrates

(br)
And if we fall behind and
Let the magic lose its place
Tempt me with your deep desires
And the passion will light our flame

(lift)
We have no sense of time because

(ch)
Now is forever
When I’m with you
Moments don’t matter
Just these feelings do
Your tender gaze
Falls soft on my face
Now is forever
When love celebrates

Now is forever
When love celebrates

Lyric-only entry. Wants music real bad. Can be sung by a male or female. My mind says it could be jazzy, bluesy, ballady, poppy, countrified...Okay, so I'm trying to make a case for it.

A Place To Come Back To
© 2009 Greg C. Brown

I can't tell what you're thinking,
There was once a time I could.
You never had to say it,
I always understood.
And I could sense your feelings
As though I could read your mind.
But lately I don't know you
Even after all this time.

I think you've gotten restless,
Maybe lost out on some dreams.
Are there things that you've been missing,
Or places you've not seen?
It shouldn't be surprising,
As I wait each night alone,
That you've become this stranger
I have never really known.

CHORUS
If you're looking for some greener pasture,
I can only wish my very best for you.
I hope you find what it is you're after,
But if you don't, you know that's okay too,
'Cause you'll always have a place to come back to.

We went through changing seasons
While we shared a single soul.
All the storms that we have weathered,
I thought would keep us whole.
But somehow things are different,
Yet I almost never saw
The signals you were sending,
Or the writing on the wall.

CHORUS
If you're looking for some greener pasture,
I can only wish my very best for you.
I hope you find what it is you're after,
But if you don't, you know that's okay too,
'Cause you'll always have a place to come back to.

BRIDGE
I won't let my teardrops fall
For what I thought we had.
I won't hold you with emotions,
I'll just wish you luck instead.

REPEAT CHORUS
If you're looking for that proverbial greener pasture
I can only wish my very best for you.
I hope you find what it is you're after,
But if you don't, you know that's okay too,
'Cause you'll always have a place to come back to.

You'll always have a place to come back to.

Hey Folks, why not in due time just put ALL songs submitted on one page with the links or lyrics, to then have anyone choose any song they wish?

Or, do it as is!

Hi John I think Mark will be putting up a poll sometime tomorrow. I am sure he will compile a list of entries with links and we then all vote for our fav. The winner is the one we all cover.
Anyone considering entering better get the entry in quick.

ok, myself, Michele and Caroline would like to get this one more produced and it was suggested to try and see what happens here with it...i'd love to get it done more and see how many ways it can be done...this would be so exciting, sorry i've been under the weather a bit, and have not been on this like I should have, anyway thanks glyn....

Naughty Girl

Watching you across the room
each and every Friday night
from the time you're in the door
I don't let you leave my sight.

I'm sipping on Tom Collins
wanting you to be my straw
waiting my turn
to hear that sexy Southern Drawl

You latch onto a Naughty Girl type
and i'm wishing it was me
that you were loving goodnight

Chorus
I can be your Naughty Girl
I got it, if you want it
I can be your Naughty Girl
I ain't afraid to flaunt it
I'm not all lace and pin curls
Why don't you give me a whirl
I can be your Naughty Girl

You can come home with me
I ain't looking to tie the knot
she ain't got nothing I don't
less you count the parts she bought.

Don't know what you do to me
It's the way you slow dance
and the sweet way you talk
I swear puts me in a tracne

I wonder if you can feel my stare
burning as hot as me
I should have a sign that says
"BEWARE"

C-repeat

Br.
the thought of you behind closed doors
makes me wanna be one of those Naughty Girl types too
I wanna be that Naughty Girl you take home with you.

C-repeat x2

I got, if you want it
I ain't afraid to flaunt it
I'm not all lace and pin curls
why don't you give me a whril
I can be your Naughty Girl

Yeah, I can be your Naughty Girl..

O.K. I will throw this one out. It is an upbeat country song that needs a female vocalist (or a bit of a rewrite). Lyrics are on Soundclick page.

Good thinking, John...but that's what we're already doing. From my first post:



..unless you meant to have anyone do any of the songs...but with a PM to the author and permission, that's basically what can ALWAYS be done, challenge or no challenge. For now, l think we should probably stick to the one we already have, or we'll be changing our minds too much.

I'm compiling the selection poll today and posting it tomorrow. I'll set it up so anyone can vote, whether they participate or not, and voters can choose up to three selections. This would be a good time to catch up on listening to the MP3s and re-reading the lyrics. Today's the last day for submissions. Good luck!

Boy LOTS of great Stuff !! - glad we will get 3 choices !!

Okey Dokey, no more offerings, time to choose. Here's the poll thread:
