I'm going to try and get something in, im thinking...

sunday from the musical sunday in the park with george
bouncing around the room by phish
everbody's got the right from the musical assassins

or possibly something very popular into acoustic.

i got an idea, have two contests, all covers and all originals, cause apparantly everyone cant just settle for one and you cant judge a cover against an original.

and if someone decides to cover a song from a musical then they should have to perform that song in a dress with their balls glued to their ass.

i was thinking about covering slave by brittany spears. cause if you take a really bad song, and do it acoustically, it magically makes it a good song

i hope that was sarcasm. and if it is, some songs have decent lyrical content while produced strangely. i dont think slave is one of them, but songs like hey ya translate well to acoustic.

well thats not the best section of it, but i know when i heard it acoustic i appreciated the lyrics much more and found it to be a better song than i originally thought, by a long shot. largely my fault, yes because i had trouble paying attention to the lyrics when outkast played it their way.

i dunno, i have fun covering unconventional songs on acoustic, and i think it broadens the scope of my original stuff

So there you are, thinking that you have a beautiful song from this riff you've been working on for two years and lyrics that strike you to the soul, and suddenly --

"Shit, he covered Across the Universe?"
