SONG LYRIC CONVERSATION CONTEST!
 

borrowed from who's line is it anyway:

Ok. Here are the rules:

You must speak in song lyrics. You may add words before or after the lyrics as long as you highlight the lryics. Points will be awarded and taken away as follows:rule change: lyrics must be easily recognizeable, complete sentences, full lines from a song, or song titles


1 POINT:
*a post that makes sense in the context of the conversation (fits)
* a song title that fits the conversation
* catching a misquoted lyric (per misquote)
* catching a spelling error (per error)
2 POINTS:
* makes sense AND is funny or insulting
* a post that inlcludes 2 seperate lines from songs that fits

3 POINTS:
* a post with 2 seperate lines that make sense and is funny or insulting

5 POINTS:
* a post that contains 3 or more lines that fit


-1 POINT
* spelling errors (per error)

* Misquoting a lyric

-2 POINTS
* incorrectly correcting a spelling error
* incorrectly refuting the accuracy of a lyric
* including a sentence that is not at least a partial lyric (per occurance)

-5 POINTS
* bickering about the judge's decision (I'm the judge)



when a lyric is challenged, the onus is on the person who quoted the lyric to find a link to that lyric and post it.....non response will be assumed to be an admission of innacuracy. Spelling challenges work the same way, but websters.com or a link to the lyrics as above will determine the usage accuracy. typos are spelling errors. only the first challenger of an error will be awarded points.

The contest will end on DECEMBER 22nd at 1 PM EST. The person with the most points will recieve a DVD of ....

THE LORD OF THE RINGS PART 2 : the two towers

edit: deleted my 1st post.....someone else start.....

"Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?"

- "Complicated" by Avril Lavigne

"You don't have to ask
You already know"

- You don't have to ask Grateful Dead

Because it's like that. And that's the way it is. But if we can't figure out how this works, then we will all go down together.

all go down together as in .. Down in a blaze of glory...,

I cant work this out either and i find that as i struggle to for words that are so hard to find everyone else just says nothing at all, and i couldnt have said it better myself

need the proof...

definately need the proof

1point to jinx
(jinx is playing for glory only-ineligble to win dvd)

"it's like that.. and that's the way it is"

"we will all go down together"... a mistake, I said "we will," and it's listed as "we would."

I have been considering going for the largest negative score.

A question--are there any genre limits? Could we use opera (those that were written in English obviously) or broadway shows? Are parody lyrics (Weird Al, Bob Rivers, Capitol Steps, etc.) fair game?

STEVE:

genre...as long as it proves out as in the rules, it matters not
