04 Feb 00 - 07:49 PM (#173745) Subject: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: Áine OK, SONG CHALLENGE!RS, here's the newest challenge, just in time for your weekend. Put on your best "Terminator" accent and go for it!!! Let's write these happy folks (volks) a song they can sing on their anniversaries to come: Gerhard Spitz and Martina Steindorf, both of Germany, were married in a Las Vegas casino recently in a "masked wedding." The pair were the winners of a radio contest in Germany where listeners matched the most compatible and most popular couple. The couple had only spoken once before the wedding, when the groom proposed to the bride on-air before they were flown to Las Vegas for their wedding. At the ceremony, the couple were masked until they were pronounced husband and wife. The groom then kissed the shaking bride, saying "It's fate that we are joined." The happy kids honeymooned in California, where the groom said "We're going to get acquainted." -- Áine |

04 Feb 00 - 10:55 PM (#173797) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: Mbo Yikes, this one strikes a little close to home. I thought it such a foolish thing, but I just could not resist It was certainly the most uncommon way to find the love I'd missed So I put myself into it, though quite a joke to me But I never dreamed in a million years how serious it would be They said they'd found the girl for me, and how it made me smile For there hadn't been one on my face for such a long long while They told me a little about her, that she was beautiful to see And though I'd never met her, I felt she was the one for me So what had started as a joke had now become quite real I'd found I was in love with her--how bright it made me feel She became my inspiration--she was why I'd worked so long And I knew down in my heart the way I felt could not be wrong They let me speak to her just once, and oh! for pity's sake I could not get the words out, and my hands began to shake "Will you...will you marry me?" I then heard myself say And when she said "Yes" I felt the sun smile down on me that day And so before the masses, sightless they bring us now They perform the ceremony, we seal it with a vow We then were given back our sight--and the sight of her made me sing I took her trembling hand in mine and then slipped on the ring I took her in, for all she was, her beauty and her mind And she said she'd felt the same way about me all the time Then I said "So here we are, with a love no one can sever After such an agonizing wait, I've come home to you forever." --Mbo |

04 Feb 00 - 11:03 PM (#173802) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: Amos Stump??? STUMP??? I don't see any stump around here. I was just working on a CD index preparation, and taking my lady to dinner after a long week. Sheeshe! Turn your back for five minutes and they want their cowpie back...no, no stumping. No, I am just reflecting on the mysteries of love in its many disguises, and how it shows up like groundwater, often where you least expect it. Sometimes it pops up in the middle of the desert. You can't order it up, or fool yourself about it, because it can be lethal so to do. You can learn its ways one day and have it fool you the next. It is the most constant element in the universe when it is genuine, but has dashed more hopes than fool's gold itself. It is a deep-running, metastasizing miracle, is what it is, and I (like every male biped before me) am just deeply perplexed by it. We didn't have it back on Mars, where I come from :>)... |

04 Feb 00 - 11:23 PM (#173810) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: Áine Dearest Amos, Two observations: 1) No one is even suggesting that your Golden Cow Chip(s) be repossessed -- that is, unless you have been participating in cow chip tossing contests, which is strictly against the rules . . . 2) Those were some beautiful reflections on the highest state of human (bi-pedal) existence -- now, go sit down somewhere quiet and make all that rhyme!

05 Feb 00 - 01:23 AM (#173845) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: Amos The Night Before We Met (This song does not have a tune; not, anyway, one which can be played on a guitar or banjo. The song is not sung as the voice sings; it is not heard as the ear hears. It is a song from a different place, a dimension, if you will, where you, and I, and our friends reside, where we hear each other singing when the damp weight of our bodies slumps in safely stored piles across the dark land, This is a song from the dimensions where we speak to those we love, no matter the hour, distance, or delicacy of thought In that place, there are no false songs. No voice is ever misheard there. The nature of the place and its occupants is too close to truth itself, in fact, for sorry alterations and confusions to take up residence there. The amplified coarse complexities of carnate life give way, there, to the simple clarion behind all noises; the kindest knowing note there is to hear: the love and attention which emanates from one being to another with no questions possible.)

05 Feb 00 - 02:48 AM (#173851) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: Liz the Squeak OOOhhhhh, Puuuleeeeese, where has the cynicism gone? If you were going to be hitched to a person you had never seen before, wouldn't you be a little cynical? When it happened over here in the UK (there was the small matter of a £500,000 house and luxury lifestyle attached) they were seperated after less than 6 months! Besides, I can't cope with all that mushy stuff at this time on a Saturday, when I'm supposed to be finding my car tax forms......! LTS, who is about as romantic as your average stone..... |

05 Feb 00 - 08:43 AM (#173885) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: Áine Dear Amos, I am breathless, and therefore, speechless, after reading your poem. Mere adjectives cannot do it justice, so I won't try to apply them. Know that I felt your words move and heard your thoughts speaking. I would be very proud to include your poem in the Songbook, with your kind permission. Very well done, my friend. -- Áine |

05 Feb 00 - 08:56 AM (#173886) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: Áine Dear Liz, Me thinks thou protest too much! No one who bakes like you do could be so unromantic -- food is the spur to action and the balm for cares, and a good cook is a person with a warm heart and smart hands. So, peshaw to your call for cynicism, my good woman, *we* know you liked Amos' poem! -- Áine |

Put on your Arnold Schwartzenegger hats and let's see something that rhymes with 'I'll be back' or 'Hasta la vista, baby'. It's a double dog dare now . . . be there or be square!!

05 Feb 00 - 01:00 PM (#173957) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: Áine Mbo, darlin', come over here to Mama and sit down. Let me tell you a little story: The reason I thought this challenge story would be fun is that I met my dear hubby by answering his advert in the personals. We met on St. Patrick's Day (yes, very appropos!) and it was love at first sight -- I saw a fella in the parking lot of the restaurant and *knew* that was HIM, and he saw me in the same parking lot and he *knew* that I was HER. We got married five months later. In our first year of marriage, he lost his job, I got pregnant, and our house nearly burned down. If we didn't have the ability to laugh at the absurdity of life, we couldn't have made it this far (13 years in August). Being able to find humour where no one else can, is, in my very humble opinion, the *only* way to make a good relationship better and make it last for a very long time -- maybe even forever. So, there you go, dear Mbo. Life's a hoot -- so hoot right along with it and you'll be a much happier, healthier person! -- Áine |

05 Feb 00 - 02:40 PM (#173997) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: Mbo Thanks for that, Áine! It gives me hope! --Mbo |

He sent me another entry for the Challenge!, a charming song all about ectoplasmic ecstasy entitled 'Before The Ball.' Go check out this newest winner of the Golden Cow Chip with Shamrock Crest on the SONG CHALLENGE! WINNERS page. And I've also changed a couple of the illustrations, too! -- Áine |

06 Feb 00 - 06:30 PM (#174239) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: The Shambles As it has been demonstrated we can write collectivly, there was an earlier challenge to write a serious tribute in this thread. Rosa Parks. We didn't have Anne to 'crack a whip' then and it didn't happen. OUCH! Well maybe its not too painful after all? The whip i mean.

07 Feb 00 - 03:45 PM (#174617) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: Amos Y'know, I have quietly lurked around this one three times now. Like your blind-love challenge, this one goes to the depths. I admire the struggle that has been made to make a start of it. I am a little too awed by what she stood up to to toss off anything glib, but I will start the subconscious machinery on it and see if anything sprouts. No promises, though.

07 Feb 00 - 04:18 PM (#174632) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: Amos Y'know kat, throwin' that karma rhyme in there opens up all kinds of opportunities for new songs, and I'd like to see you do a Karmic Retribution talking blues or something. Couple of lines popping up, take or leave ones: Went and told my Mama I didn't like the Karma That had brought me to her cheap suburban door I thought that it was shoddy To end up with a body Bein' raised up on TV and nothin' more! Well, see whatcha can do...I'm behind a deadline and am destoying my own corporate karma cuz I can't stay away from this here Mudcat! A |

07 Feb 00 - 05:09 PM (#174653) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: katlaughing I've got a bit ahead of me, too, Amos, but I love the lines you've started & will see what I can in the next day or two. (Oh, where, oh where, has my op/ed gone? Oh where oh where can it be? In my head still there or a Mudcat thread, oh where or where has it gone!) I think you are all being way too kind. It doesn't scan right, Aine, "shamelessly" would scan better were it "shameful" and the last verse needs reworking! have at it you three! luvyaKat |

07 Feb 00 - 05:45 PM (#174678) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: Áine Ok mehitabel, I did a little 'tinkerin' on your song. Of course, the Irish came out in me on one line (ha!). Let me know what you think...And I still need a title for it. How about 'Disembodied Voices'? -- Áine
A disembodied voice she heard
How desparate they had been
No matter about a dowry
Instead of castle battlements
So, listen next time, carefully, |
|
07 Feb 00 - 05:55 PM (#174686) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: Amos Well, scanning in folk songs is often flexible depending on the tune, where the singer slurs or drops syllables and so forth. But if I were tinkering with another's song, which I usually am loth to do, and if it were this one, which of course I could not improve, but if I were I might think about: Rearranging past life trials And maybe, something like... chests of silken dowry (...) Something like that...household is usally emphasized on the first syllable...just a quick trial at it. A |

07 Feb 00 - 06:07 PM (#174693) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: katlaughing Yes, Amos. I like it. Aine, darling womon, I think the raio itself was not ethereal, thus the aethers of the radio. Sorry, sweetie. And, since karma was in there, I thought soul mate would tie in nicely. How about "Airy Betrothal" or "Airy Match" or "Match on Air" or for a later one, depending on how the marriage turns out, "Broadcast Blues"? So, rather than repeat everything here, I personally would like to see it changed with Amos' "loathsome"**BG** suggestions, if that's alright with everyone? T'anks, kat |

07 Feb 00 - 06:10 PM (#174697) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: Áine Amos, I like your suggestions. Don't worry, kat gave us permission to 'mess about' with her song. Believe me, if she didn't want us doing it, she wouldn't have said so. I guess we'll just have to wait until Miss Thang let's us know what she "thanks" about it. -- Áine (I'm thinking that we should have a SONG CHALLENGE! award for the best group effort. I'm too dinged out on Guinness and Motrin at the moment to think of an appropriate name. (See 'Open Mike on Hearme Tonight' thread for the reason why). Can anyone think of a good award 'extra' for this category? Hopefully something for which I can find an appropriate graphic. -- Á. |

I know I volunteered and yet I think it's pretty weird I'm getting married to you
We didn't feel no spark, it's just because there's such a market for schlock radio

24 Aug 01 - 09:30 AM (#534438) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: SharonA My last song of the week! (Then I'll soon be off to enjoy the Philly Folk Fest for the weekend!!) Here's a little something on the subject of starting out on the right foot... A GROOM I'M TRY'N' TO LOVE (Tune: "A Groovy Kind of Love" by The Mindbenders, also performed by Phil Collins) Wearing something new, borrowed, old, and blue. Can't take a look at you; I'm blindfolded too. Waiting close to me, I can feel your palm sweat. I can hear the words: "We're gathered here..." You and I agree man and wife to be. Got a groom I'm try'n' to love. Anytime I want to, I could turn and run to Germany and on to anyplace at all. When I kiss your lips, will they feel like liver? Will I cry a river as your bride? Why did I agree your new wife to be? Got a groom I'm try'n' to love. I got a groom I'm try'n' to love. Well, I wonder who said to me, "I do"? I take a look as you take your mask off, too. Now I'm in your arms; my teeth seem to chatter. You say you're a 'Catter. I post there! Wouldn't you agree you're the man for me? Got a groom I find I love! I got a groom I find I love! I got a groom I find I love! |

24 Aug 01 - 10:45 AM (#534458) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: Wolfgang The bride was shaking since she knew right at that moment she was making a big mistake, but did not know how to get out. They never 'did it', so they both say (her wish, not his). They filed for divorce in March, immediately after coming home from the vacation that wasn't a honeymoon. They are still seen together fairly often for the sake of money: they get more money when they come to talkshows together. So much for a sobering follow up. Wolfgang |

24 Aug 01 - 11:04 AM (#534463) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 4 From: SharonA Thanks for the update, Wolfgang. It's too bad that it didn't work out as a marriage, but it's not surprising given the circumstances. (Now, maybe if both of them HAD been Mudcatters... ) |

Therefore I have searched the Internet about an I have to say - your site is the most beautiful I have seen. Great respect for your lyrics and how you treated this subject sympathetically. OK - it didn´t work out as I have imagined - fool that I was... Nevertheless now I´m married and even blessed with a nice daughter which entered school few ago. Just wanted to let you know - you had so much work with this, I thought that deserves a reply. Keep going on !!! Gerhard |
