Details HERE.
Deadline is 4th September.

This year's cover is "One" by U2. Tis a good solid song, but pretty straightforward, so not much room for a re-interpretation. Anyone going to enter?

 

[Tony Ramone]

Dude - everything is open to reinterpretation
I'll see how many different versions I can make in the time... probably zero

 

[ann post]

hah. this cant be real.

 

[ann post]

a few months ago i put a wager on with the sister that u2 had gone one step further into blanket propoganda, on the pretense that the 'magnificent' single was not only a single, but an entire single, press release and review, as i suspect that bono is geting RLY tired of journalists messing up the propoganda with thier grammar and what not. i'd just come from the shop where indeed, one of the tabloids was running the headline 'magnificent' only to read on thumped that there was now a u2 emulation competition.

 

[ann post]

so yeah, i'm entering this.

 

[Red_Dog]

I always thought this song could be improved by adding the line - 'aids is shit and my dad hates gays'

 

[nooleen]

i always thought U2 could be improved by obliterating them completely. not just death but physical dissolution as well.

 

[Red_Dog]

Gentlemen mark my words:

I will win this competition!

 

[dubh in seattle]

prizes! I want PRIZES. I want a martello tower, or a few acres in Mayo, or a shot at punching a cranberry, or a matching tiara and pimp goblet. 'Cos, yknow, my version will be interpretive dance and these hips don't come cheap.

i only want to do this if its in a reality tv format where i have loads of ups and downs and shit, for the moment i'm more concerned about the competition on the wheelie bins for 10 free collections.

really sorry about that but to put up this link i needed 3 posts, something to do with spam. neway, this is my attempt. any tips on how i could mix/master it better. hopefully it will prove the point that its very much open to interpretation as is most music. anyway its still a wip so dont be too harsh. they only have acoustic guitar versions on their site, maybe thats what there lookin for. oh well. must get the ould acoustic out and try it that way

oh and yes that is a daft punk sample from aerodynamic

That's a great take on it. Definitely send that it the way it is. They have enough boring acoustic guitar versions.
