Sort of like the Thread Name Game -- you have to use current thread names (leaving off the prefix is okay), and the threads used must be set to a
common, identifiable, song.

Here's a verse:

Sung to the tune of "Acres Of Clams" (or "Rosin the Beau" if you prefer):

Why does my cat eat carnations?
Books that most influenced you.
Lost in time, disgust and confusion,
Twice as blessed, what would you do?

Note that nothing is added to the threads titles....

You mean you claim to write a song and each single line and the tune have been written by someone else than you?

May I refer you to the current thread about lyrics theft. Anyone who dares to use one of my thread titles in a song will read from my lawers.

Nader considering running
In 2004 (read: two thousand and four)
Bob Dylan lifted lyrics
I never wrecked a car before (tune: e.g., Hang down your head...)

Wolfgang, that is composing.
From Latin componere - to put together (zusammenstellen).

You take already existing pieces and put them together ;-)

ARGGH, I remembered "about" where it didn't exist. Please withdraw my humble attempt.
I'll go back to my corner.

That's the folk process at work already on your brand new song Dave!

"common, identifiable, song" = in the public domain unless you want to deal with the copyright issues because I sure don't!

Titles, according to the US Copyright laws, aren't copyrightable, which is why you should use thread titles.

Sue away, Wolfgang! I don't care! Ain't got any money anyway, but I'll be happy to send you my old socks if you insist.

Well, I realized that I was reading "Why does my cat eat carnations?" to the tune of "Acres of Clams" and things just sort of went on from there.

My humble submission . . . set to the tune of "Chicken on a Raft"

(sorry, Cyril)

I hope it's acceptable to use two thread names in one line, otherwise I'm disqualified.
