Mandibles - Right Again 03:22
lyrics
You were right to say I owed you an apology You were right to say I did you wrong And I demurred, the words all blurred into a mess And I confess I do not know what side I’m on. Right again, What does it get you when you’re right again? Right again, Does it let you feel alright again? If you saw the good in me, How wrong could I ever be? You could be right, my friend, And then you’ll be alone again. How’s the air up there where no one shows a weakness Way up where you won’t find the likes of me? I can’t put the genie back where she belongs Who does no wrongs Someone I could never be. Right again, What does it get you when you’re right again? Right again, Does it let you feel alright again? If you saw the good in me, How wrong could I ever be? You could be right, my friend— Congratulations! Your vexation Put your partner in her station. Right again, What does it get you when you’re right again? Right again, Does it let you feel alright again? If you saw the good in me, How wrong could I ever be? You could be right, my friend, And then you’ll be alone again.

Faster Jackelope - Ghia's Got Room For Two 03:32
lyrics
High School is over Summer is here Hold my hand sweet darling Help me understand Is it your French perfume? Is it your funny point of view Karmann Ghia’s got room for two When the sun sets I know what we can do I waited by my window Just so it could be me and you Tried not to wake my parents We drove into the night without a care But there’s not enough time to do everything Summer is over Now I am sad Maybe you’ll find another guy to hold your hand Is it your French perfume? Is it your funny point of view Will he love you like i do When the sun sets I want to be with you I waited by my window Sneak away under the moon Just so it could be me and you Me and you Tried not to wake my parents Our hearts beat to our favorite tune We drove into the night without a care Without a care But there’s not enough time to do everything Is it your French perfume? Is it your funny point of view Karmann Ghia’s got room for two When the sun sets I know what we can do I waited by my window Sneak away under the moon Just so it could be me and you Me and you Tried not to wake my parents Our hearts beat to our favorite tune We drove into the night without a care Without a care But there’s not enough time to do everything

Zoe Gray - Old Lovers' Bridge 02:57
lyrics
i been a-walking for miles along the river bank with a sack on my shoulder and too much time to think i been away, away, away too long by far all i got of her is this old guitar and i walk through the valleys and i walk over the ridge i been a-walkin home to meet my baby by the old lovers bridge and we had only just started when i had to go i said goodbye to my baby just as soon as we’d said hello i had to fight my demons cross the wine-dark sea but i always sang for her knowin she played for me and i walk through the valleys and i walk over the ridge i been a-walkin home to meet my baby by the old lovers bridge and i know that there’s been fellers tried to take her while i’m gone and the road is full of dangers but she helps me carry on and i know that i’ve been trouble, trouble all my days but my baby bought my troubled heart, and her love’s the price she pays i saw my fair share of men, heart-broken, half-blind i saw the ghosts of my long lost friends i never thought i would find i been away, away, away, away too long but i always played my lady’s song and i walk through the valleys and i walk over the ridge i been a-walkin home to meet my baby by the old lovers bridge and i walk through the valleys and i walk over the ridge i been a-walkin home to meet my baby by the old lovers bridge

Governing Dynamics - Leave It At That 03:32
lyrics
I was standin' under a streetlamp I was starin' at the moon Feelin' full of the weakness that steals the Words I try to say to you I was countin' on my courage To come roarin' above the din Of a thousand shattered moments Once again I lead with my chin I was not the man you deserve I serve no one with these games I took a shot But I ain't known for my aim Someday this gambler's gonna take the house When I finally lay the cards out flat Until I'm emboldened To start bettin' stop foldin' I guess I'll just leave it at that I'm the trickster of this village I'm the truth's bell ringer The harder you try to hold on The slicker I slip through your fingers I can shape these scars into myths Drown my darlings in a flood I long ago vowed No one is gonna taste this blood I once was a man Who couldn't understand How many lions were born as rats It's grift and deception But it's good to be a legend I guess I'll just leave it at that Someday I'll die And the public eye Will find someone new to stare at Honesty might be rewarding But it sounds kind of boring I guess I'll just leave it at that I guess I'll just leave it at that

Temnere - The Grifter 01:30
lyrics
you talk of revolution this land of discontent you claim to be the one to free us from the grip of tyrants but why should we believe you where is your providence a perspicacious glance can see that all your views are pliant your claim to want to help us an altruist veneer one more familiar screed then "dont forget to tune back in right here" for the proliferation of narrative ablation you'll join their federation of sycophantic swine why would you do this to us your morals incongruous oh you'll say anything now just to make a dime the grifter, a righteous pantomime one day you're the star but then you find its gone too far a whisper, of conscience on your mind the itch of an old scar the grifter, in just the nick of time tragedy has struck and now its time to make a buck a whisper, time to capitalize still don't give a fuck

Good Guy Sojabe - Ahab 02:42
lyrics
(And I don't want to feel sober) Can you hear me? It's gotten dark We used to smile more And now we're not Little pieces What's left of you Only shadows And empty truths You said forever Wasn't long enough But come tomorrow You'll be gone Hit the off switch Ignore the news Leave me breathless Far away from you Out of my mind Out of my head Under my skin Better off dead And I don't want to feel sober And I don't want to feel love

PigFarmer, Jr. - Who Are You? 02:34
lyrics
I signed up for spintunes fifteen And I'm more than ready for spintunes sixteen The judges don't seem to realize I meet every challenge as advertised I wrote a new song to play along Gotta make it good or I won't stay long Challenge after challenge I've undergone And I'm still standing, I've not withdrawn Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? I'm still standing in the competition Still dishing rhymes in this composition I play the role, I pay the toll I bare my soul to reach the goal Still all the judges wanna rank me real low Bury me deep, put me in a hole Will I make it through? Well, nobody knows! Gotta wait for the scores and who the judges chose Who are you to judge my lines? Who are you to judge my rhymes? Who are you to judge my lines? Who are you to judge my rhymes? They rank me, they rate me, I'm misunderstood They listen to my tunes. They say they're no good But I don't care what they think about me Or my rhyming philosophy Strong rhymes, weak rhymes, near or far It doesn't matter where they set the bar Pigfarmer J is in the house So they can all shut they're squeaky little mouths. Sorry. Not! Who are you to judge my lines? Who are you to judge my rhymes? Who are you to judge my lines? Who are you to judge my rhymes? Now I"m not saying that I'm the best I'm just saying that I pass the test I admit my direction may seem haphazard But my rhymes are fine, they ain't no disaster There's a multi-million selling song Using off rhymes so it can't be wrong If you cry for my rhymes like Edric Haleen You can wash off your tears with a bottle of saline Who are you to judge my lines? Who are you to judge my rhymes? Who are you to judge my lines? Who are you to judge my rhymes?

Jocko Homomorphism - We Were So Grand (SHADOW) 02:18
lyrics
Get up at dawn, head for the coast, Drive to the west through the valley so green, Rent us a shack, close to the beach, It says it sleeps four, but we brought fourteen. Leave your clothes inside, The moon is our guide, As we head for the beach, take my hand. Solidarity, We march to the sea, And our hymn never sounded so grand. The party's all here, we're tapping the kegs, Wrestling on tables, we're young and we're brash. Sun's coming up, I wander the surf, The hot tub assembly has caught a new rash. Leave your clothes inside, The moon is our guide, As we head for the beach, take my hand. Solidarity, We march to the sea, And our hymn never sounded so grand. Wake up at noon, hit the cafe, Finish a handle, and get the house neat. We'll be here again, just give it a year, It's time to move on, in heads, hearts, and feet. Leave your clothes inside, The moon is our guide, As we head for the beach, take my hand. Solidarity, We march to the sea, And our hymn never sounded so grand. Solidarity, We march to the sea, And our hymn never sounded so grand.

Menage A Tune - Surfin' The Web (SHADOW) 02:45
lyrics
This isn’t California, but I’m proud to be a Florida boy The state is always sunny while I’m rolling in the money with joy Although I got to admit, i’m always close to the beach, You’ll only find me sit behind a large computer screen ‘Cause I’ll be surfing the web Surfing the web I’ll be surfing the web surfing the web My laptops open and I’m laying in bed I’ll be surfing the web surfing the web Where my summer never ends Where my summer never ends The internet is open and my WiFi is connected online. I’ll be playing on a game and I’ll be saving any meme That i find Don’t worry, baby, you can chat me I’ll be naked in my bed for you to video stream And I’ll be surfing the web Surfing the web I’ll be surfing the web surfing the web My laptops open and I’m laying in bed I’ll be surfing the web surfing the web Where my summer never ends Where my summer never ends Don’t ask me to dance When I’m too fat to go out swimming at the coast I would burn in the sand and I won’t find a place to plug my power cord. Every girl in town Looks so good in the light But I can’t hang around Because my Speedo’s too tight. So I’ll be surfing the web Surfing the web I’ll be surfing the web surfing the web My laptops open and I’m laying in bed I’ll be surfing the web surfing the web Where my summer never ends Where my summer never ends Where a tropical storm can knock my power down, until then... I’ll be surfing the web...

Faster Jackelope - They Know (SHADOW) 02:43
lyrics
They Know They say someday will never come I want sometimes, for too long I won't listen to what they say who are they anyway? Please don't worry I'm still here frozen in place All disarming eyes I see oceans rise, envelope me They say part of me is lost at sea I say "not just part, all of me" I won't listen to what they say who are they anyway? Please don't worry I'm still here frozen in place All disarming eyes I see oceans rise, envelope me They say I'm crazy, this is true I will save all my crazy for you I won't listen to what they say who are they anyway? Please don't worry I'm still here frozen in place All disarming eyes I see oceans rise, envelope me

Matchy Matchy - Eagles (SHADOW) 04:03
lyrics
You fly away Every year when it gets Dark and grey And then someday You're back when all the clouds Have gone away. We’re together In fair weather I’ll keep waiting Here forever Soaring away Soaring away from me So peaceful But so evil Soaring away Soaring away from me So regal Like eagles A flock of eagles Strong and bold Always here for me unless it’s cold Come what may Always here with me On sunny days We’re together In fair weather I’ll keep waiting Here forever Soaring away Soaring away from me So peaceful But so evil Soaring away Soaring away from me So regal Like eagles A flock of eagles

about

Rubber Band: To reach the final round, we're asking our competitors to stretch themselves. Write a pastiche (a song in the style) of a band or artist whose style is appreciably different from your own. (When ranking the songs, the judges will be paying particular attention to how great a departure competitors made from the kinds of songs we've already heard from them, as well as how faithfully they emulate the chosen artist's style.)

And to be perfectly clear, we are requiring a pastiche that is an original song in the style of the artist, not a parody or derivative work. Think Weird Al writing "Dare To Be Stupid" in the style of Devo . . . not Weird Al writing "Party in the C.I.A." based on the song "Party in the U.S.A." by Miley Cyrus.
