We're baaaaack! After inexplicably winning the last round of Rockstar I have been tasked with the impossible chore of creating a theme that makes everyone happy. Knowing this was impossible I decided instead to make a theme that will make nobody happy: Country Music! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSZfUnCK5qk Everyone hates country music. It's the one thing that can bring us all together. There are so many lovely country/western songs out there featuring such genre staples as: - stupid lyrics - predictable song structures - mindless patriotism - mysogyny - lack of musical talent - repetitive licks and lyrics - yodeling - whatever the hell this is Surely we can do better, right? So that's the task. Take a country song and improve it. Or, take a non-country song and shitify it by turning it into a country song. I don't care. Cut the sleeves off your shirts, grab your woman's rear end, drink a case of beer, and get on it! Deadline is July 4th  THAT'S RIGHT...ONE MONTH!! GO GO GO quote:
Yes, Bluegrass counts as country too.

Lotophage posted:Country is good OP. Not after we get done with it. For the last round I took an industrial/metal song and turned it into countrified bluegrass. I think this round I'll do the opposite. Just not sure which song yet.

magnificent7 posted:DEAD SKUNK. It's Bluegrass more than Country, but I tried to give it that hip hop Georgia Florida Line country poo poo spin. Meh. Well, contest over. I liked it better when you only threatened to complete an entry.

We're going to have a mini-extension to the extension...post your crap tracks by this Sunday, August 2nd. Then I'll put the the poll and maybe we will get 10 votes! You guys still want to put it in NMD? Or some other forum?

Okay we've got 4, maybe 5 tracks if I can finish up mine. Let me know if these aren't the correct, final versions or if I missed somebody. Koivunen - God Bless the USA https://soundcloud.com/koivunen/god-bless-the-usa-liturgical-cover Alternative Pants - The Thunder Rolls https://soundcloud.com/tom-f-lynn/the-thunder-rolls Roger Troutman - Head on the Saloon Door https://soundcloud.com/jeremy-you-know/head-on-the-saloon-door magnificent 7 - Life is a Highway to Hell https://soundcloud.com/beauhall/life-is-a-highway-to-hell-final mag7, want me to put up your Dead Skunk song also? It's pretty good. But the important question is where do I put the poll? Last time we did NMD and got like 8 votes, seemed like a waste of time. Should we go back to GBS? It might get more exposure in GBS even if we have to overdub animal farting noises to get those people's attention.

I had the same thought about doing a Youtube mix instead of Soundcloud. Would probably make more people click on it. But I'm old and don't know how to do it. Thread title idea: The 5 worst country songs ever. #3 is my also, since I made this terrible thread, I suppose I should submit a track also.

Does someone have the software/motivation to turn the entries into a Youtube? Any random redneck picture would work, just put each song back to back with links to each in the description.

magnificent7 posted:If you have mp3s, there are sites that can do it for you: Awesome, thanks. But I can't download most of the Soundcloud tracks as mp3s. I guess its settings or something. I'll just make a Soundcloud album and call it good. We all know who's going to win anyways (me)

We got more votes but it came at a price. A steep price.

Alternative pants posted:I'm actually really pleased with the entries. I especially worked hard on my vocals, glad someone noticed. I didn't, paid the price. Koivunen, you are the WINNER! Congratulations. Let's fire up another round, shall we?

There was a suggestion that we migrate over to a different forums, like Gearslutz or some place like that. Might invigorate the contest a little bit since what we're doing is not appreciated here.
