TGF Do Something Challenge Season 7 FINALS!

[ᛗᛜᛜᚺDᛜᎶ Ꮤᛨᚳᚴ]

And so this Season
Comes to end
The Champion
Is Champ again

We tried our best
To take his crown
And in the process
Looked like fine clowns

Eighteen of us
Broke silence walls
Answering
That primal call

To make some noise
And share our minds
Thanks for your efforts
You've all been signed

Season 7 Totals

​

One hundred and twenty four new pieces of music in S7! The reigning Champion successfully defending his position with 29 entries! Spreadsheet will hopefully be sussed out by the start of next Season with numbers for all artists and seasons giving us a great way to look at participation with the numbers! Thanks to all the players who rocked this challenge!! The rest of you . . . ah, never mind ;~(( Congratulations and admiration to all participants (these words are your participation trophy along with the banner)!!! Speaking of banners, not sure if we will have "category" winner banners, but we will cross that bridge shortly ;~)) Thanks so much for your participation in the war on silence ;~)) It has been an honor to serve as the MC for this season and I hope I didn't piss anyone off (and if I did, let me know why so I can tell you why you should piss off) ;~))

If you have updates to any of your entries, be sure to post them in the the "Directors Cut" thread so we can hear what you have done with them! Whatever you do, MAKE SOME MUSIC, and DO IT NOW!! Next challenge will likely start in January as it is far to hectic to herd participants during the holiday season. So get your gear on and get ready to knock that Season 8 out of the park (and dethrone the Champ)!!!

Here are some details from this 6 week season (aka Season 7):
PLX - Overall Champion with 29 entries
PLX - Most #original-songs with 23
LeftyLoungeLizard - Most #cover-songs with 14
ᛗᛜᛜᚺDᛜᎶ Ꮤᛨᚳᚴ - Most #hot-noodles with 12

@ᛗᛜᛜᚺDᛜᎶ Ꮤᛨᚳᚴ

The wife pulled in listening to "Wild World"
She asked me who it reminded me of....I said Cat Stevens.
She said "No! It's @ᛗᛜᛜᚺDᛜᎶ Ꮤᛨᚳᚴ!"
"You know..... you're kind of right! I replied.

So she has mandated that you need to cover the song now, .



Looks like something for the next challenge!!!



She also adds a "Please...and Thank You!"

I am so flattered and honored by such kind words (though I cringe at being put in the same world as one of my vocal heroes as I don't feel worthy) ;~)) I have done that song a few times, but not lately. Right now, the only Cat song in my set list is "Where Do The Children Play" and I just played it (child that I am) about an hour ago!! I will try and get an acceptable version of "Wild World" for the next season, but if I have one sooner, I will send it to you and/or post it in the "Member Clips, Videos and Projects" section ;~)) Of his music, I have also covered "If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out", "Can't Keep It In", "Miles From Nowhere", "Moondshadow", "Peace Train" and "Trouble" (maybe others that I am not recalling) ;~)) Love doing every last one of them and this is motivation to add some back into the set list!

I will also add "As you wish . . . and You Are Welcome" ;~))

A bit of Trivia...
Did you know Cat Stevens (now Yusuf), farted on that song?
Here's a writeup I did on it:

BREAKINGwindNEWS...

Just when you think something has become stale or 'died up in there'... suddenly you can be hit with a fresh whiff that'll make your nose hairs curl. That is exactly what happened early morning Wednesday, when a 54 yr. old gem was discovered seemingly hiding right under our noses. The hit song 'Wild World' by Cat Stevens, who now goes by the name Yusuf, apparently had a guest fart at the 1:50 mark. Sources who were in the studio that scorching summer of '70 have confirmed this rumor, which had been recently floating around since the album's producer released his tell-all book about the recording sessions. Some skeptics have called the wet sound 'vocal fry', 'fret buzz', or possibly a pet frog that Yusuf liked to keep as a good luck charm when recording. His name was Stinky ironically (RIP). But those skeptic musings can finally be laid to rest based on the head mix engineer's recollection on that day...

"Yeah, it was a hot day in the studio, and we were really hungry from hours of takes. Cat, I mean Yusuf, liked to work long hours so we'd just have cans of food like Spam and Beanie Weenies sitting around to munch on. I grabbed the Spam, and Cat, I mean Yusuf, grabbed the Beanie Weenies and gobbled 'em up. Shortly thereafter we did a one and only take for Wild World. I wanted to do another take because of the brown sound slip but Cat, I mean Yusuf, scurried to the bathroom real quick like and we didn't see him for an hour. The rest is history man."

And there you have it folks... the fart heard around the world, literally. We've invited Cat, now Yusuf, to speak but he has declined claiming a scheduling conflict. Very early critics of the song at its release in July of 1970, said Wild World 'stunk' and that Cat, now Yusuf, was just 'tooting his own horn' with the crafty lyrics. Apparently they were more right then they could have ever imagined. Ewww baby, it's a Wild World... Indeed.

Now we go to Chuck for the weather...

I've mentioned at least 3 times that Moondog sounds like Cat on acid. Which is compliment btw.
