JPF Home Page Forums Lyric and MP3 Feedback Creative Challenge Forum Rock Out With Kaufman!

So you wanna be a rock and roll star? Okay! Here's the deal:

I wrote this song a long time ago, and used to play it in my band. Recently I thought I'd bring it back to life...but I found the old words just don't grab me anymore. But I DO still like the music! So I thought, hey, why not give it to the people for a fun challenge? So here it is...I'm going to let YOU have fun with it. If you're up to the challenge, your mission is to come up with the vocals and record them. It's rock and roll karaoke, baby!

This means you need to come up with lyrics and a melody, and then sing it! When you're done, post it up here on this thread for us all to listen to what you came up with. Some other day I'll post what the song USED to be, but I wanna hear what YOU come up with.

This is strictly for fun, so let's not worry about copyrights, legalities, blah blah blah...life is too short. I won't be stealing your ideas, pinky promise. It begins and ends here, but it's something you can keep forever and maybe even show to your grandkids someday. If you want, you can send me an MP3 of your vocals and I'll mix it together for you, but it's pretty easy to mix yourself if you have recording software. Either way is fine with me.

Here's the song:
