Acadian Idol

July 30th, 2003

I have written a new song that needs a topic and lyrics. I’ll take care of the words if you, my beautiful and intelligent readership, will tell me the topic. Vote in the poll on the left — your additional observations and requests are welcomed in the comments.
The song includes the following instruments: a guitar played in the “alt. rock” style that was so in fashion ten years ago, an awful drum loop I found somewhere on the Net, and a five-year-old banging a wooden spoon against a saucepan. Other sounds I may add in editing include: the insistent meows of a kitten, the soundtrack to a television show on fishing, the Yellow Pages being dropped onto a basement floor from a height of nine feet, agitated chickens, and clips from better songs performed by much more talented musicians.

    I think it would be a testament to the greatness of Abe Vigoda for a song to be about him being a NFL free agent.

    OH come on. Not Abe Vigoda. Not the NFL.
    NO NO NO –
    Your song will be all about Lance Armstrong and the Tour de France, perhaps mentioning the exclusive US television coverage provided by OLN, otherwise known as the Bass Fishing Network (www.olntv.com).
    Also you may want to mention his wife Kristin and their perhaps-troubled-marriage. And the diarhea that Lance caught from his four year old son before the race began. Um. Also that he only has one testicle.
    SO much to sing about.

    If you mean the progressive rock ballads of say Dream Theater and the like, then maybe an epic tale about the quest for the ultimate lure, the Moby Dicker.
