Title: Odd News Song Contest
Post by: combatking0 on September 17, 2007
Hello everyone,
this is something I have seen done esleqwhere and I thought you'd all enjoy it.

Basically, somebody picks a recent news article and talks about it, and then everybody else writes in with what they think is the best song title and/or singer to describe it.

The winner is chosen by the person who chose the news story, who then gets to choose the story for the following week.

This week, the dire situation at McDonnalds has come to my attention:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20677230/
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_midlands/6994646.stm

Yes, their food should contain warnings such as "High in salt" and "May contain nuts or bolts"

Your song titles please.

Eat it by Weird Al was good, but Shockwave's "Bolt out of the blue" by Wild Blue Yonder has to take first prize this week.

Your turn now, Shockwave - pick a recent item of odd news and ask us for our song titles!

Ok, well it has to be this..

Not a funny story in it's self but it is pathetic that they rigged a poll to name a cat ffs!

So there you are, find a song to sum that up :)

I've opened all that other junk and there's nothin' that I like..."

The Bali Belly song is the greatest.
