Lol that's the plan :v, i guess it should be hardcore for all the fans :D

"Yo, I'm my name is MC Bugz,
I'm rollin' wit' da pony thugs!"

@Devine, this contest will be hard without lyrics, but both JetFangInferno and I have provided examples without lyrics (he had 3, but w/e). It is highly do-able, and I want to see an entry from you.

Okay Bugz, this is, like deep said, a music contest so lyrics will NOT be judged. You can include them but your song will be judged based on the musical content and not the lyrics themselves, which is why deep recommended you refrain from using lyrics at all.

Please do not take these posts personally. Deepstraz is a judge after all and you should be more respectful to him.

To reiterate the rules: "Vocals can be used, though the part being judged is the overall sound. Lyrical content is not judged. "

I'm not harsh. And I don't care how contestants treat judges. I'm not superior to anyone. And sometimes judges or those who think they're so good at something prove to be incompetents.

The point is that if bad lyrics or unfitting lyrical sounds are included the song will be compromised and that will lead to a downgrade.

I think that's the problem. I do agree that it is much easier to make a song funny with lyrics because the human voice is the most natural instrument. Also, words are more "tangible" than the abstract nature of musical notes. However, I listen to a lot of instrumental music and have found many songs to be quite funny without using any lyrics at all.

That's why this theme is challenging: Without lyrics, how can one go about making music that actually makes people giggle and laugh?

It really tests your creativity to the limits -- there are absolutely no rules to making comedic music. In fact, music that violates these rules is what makes them absurdly funny.

So far these are our applicants + potential ones:

  • Bugz
  • -Derp-
  • JetFangInferno
  • Devine
  • CoBrA b
  • WhereWolfThereWolf
This looks pretty good but if you consider that half of them are "maybe's", then we definitely need some more contestants.

Also, I don't think I can increase the rep reward so arbitrarily.

-Derp-, Devine, and WhereWolfThereWolf are all on the maybe side so at the moment we only have 3 guaranteed contestants. Hopefully when this contest gets approved, people will join as it gets announced globally because I suspect not everyone reads through the contest submission thread.

I might just join in :p
The contest itself seems really challenging. I can't assure to bring laughter with my future piece, but i could instantly think of happyness and joy, celebration? Something that'll make you smile :) I think that'd be a theme more approacable.

E: The contest hasn't started yet? If that's the case then you can put me in the list of contestants.

KayS, your song is definitely creative and has a nice bluesy feel to it, especially when you do the "E A C D Eb E" in rapid succession, but I feel like it's not quite comedic enough yet. I look forward to how the song will develop :)

No problem... Is a beta!! xD I can do all the changes as The judges say. ;P

Little question: If I use samples of the original sound effects pack of warcraft, It would be a problem?


Edit: I don't know what to do!! What is a comedy rhythm?? Attached the "WTF Version" :p
