... This coming Christmas (hopefully).

I do beleive that by that time I will be ready to perform a Christmas Song for Youtube. Due to the nature of Christmas Music, as long as it is:

1) Christmasy

2) Clean

3) Symbollic

4) Well done

It is basically going to get on the radio. And lets face it, with the state of Christmas Music today (Same four songs sung by different people), No one is going to say "No" to something new.

So, if I start practicing my guitar when I get home from work, I could probably become profecient with it just enough to be able to put a strum behind my voice (which I am told is pretty good, but from unreliable, biased sources.)

Why am I doing this? Several Reasons:

1) Really not doing much with my life as of now.

2) Want to get back at those bastards from school by becoming, while not famous, known. Hearing my name on the radio would be a shock to most of them.

3) MASSIVE EGO BOOSTER!

4) Chicks would dig it.

Wish me luck.

Doing something like this to get back a people is never a good thing. If you think they will remember you they will probably see it as a joke rather than anything serious.

All that aside, I wish you luck in your endeavour. Much like KC, I am interested to find out whether chicks dig christmas music performers.

Alternatively you could speed it up and release a feel good summer song, the ladies love the summer.

Christmas will be a tough nut to crack, just because the best song has clearly been written already.

Don't forget about your old buddies on Dakka when you're a famous Christmas musician and knee deep in poon.

It's not so much as "pick up chicks", it's more of a middle finger to the people I knew and hated. The fact that the chicks will dig it is the fact that chicks find guitar-dudes irresistable.

Thanks, though it's not a thing about being the best, just getting yer name out there

As for it being to get back at them, it's more of a "Hey, you guys picked on me and stole my lunch money, I'm now on the radio. In the words of Anthony Carmine: SUCK IT! SUCK IT!". It's not going to be an angry song, nore will it referance them in any way. It's just going to be a song. As for them not remembering me, As far as I know they still talk about me a little, a song by Linkin Park came on and they were all like "Hey, it's the band Slarg used to listen to!" (Yes, I know. Young people do dumb things.)

I suppose I could do a summer song, though the problem is, I don't know if I will be ready by that time. I could make that be "Plan A that I am doubt will work, and so continue on with Plan B!"

Besides, North Dakota isn't exactly known for it's summer

New take on a great song. The clip was well thought of, but I doubt it's beyond you

You've also got a year ahead, so... get working!

Spanish group Marlango did "My Favourite Things" from Sound of Music and it got used in "El Corte Ingles" (a spanish chain of shopping centers, sort of) commercial in Xmas, and I thought it looked very nice indeed.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Now we just wait for the Red Zone and Sparta mix versions which are almost guaranteed to follow it if it works.

Ok, drunk posting aside:

I had decided upon the overall theme of my summery song. I have the Chorus done (not that it was hard, given the subject matter), and one of the versus. Only problem is, I keep hearing it metalic like in my head.

That I think it would be better with an Electric guitar behind it, rather than Accoustic.
