All right, people, it's finally time for Round One: Hoedown!

So here's how it's going to work, people. Because there are six contestants, there will be six Hoedowns in total. That way, I rotate the list so that everyone goes an equal four times. If by chance a contestant fails to respond in a timely manner, I will PM them with a warning and then they will be disqualified.

"Audience members," or people not in the contest, your job is to help me think of seven Hoedown topics. They can be from goofy to political; the sky's the limit.

The contestants, as a reminder, are:
Reeves
cheesy nipples
Violaceous Vertigo
The Doom Merchant
Nu Lucrezia
Meacorme

If anyone still wants to participate, please let me know!

See the next post for the Hoedown rotation list.

UPDATE! UPDATE! I guess it was kind of stupid that I didn't think of this earlier, but anyone can suggest topics for hoedowns as long as they are not on the team who will get that topic. My bad. stressed

Hoedown Rotation List

Team #1: Barack Obama

1st verse: Meacorme
Quote:
Oh, after this election, I made such a big scene.
It made me very tired, so I wanted some caffeine.
I'll go to the cafe; my money will be spent.
I'll get a coffee just as black as my new president!

2nd verse: Violaceous Vertigo
Quote:
Was it the will of the people or the will of The Fates?
I don't know and I don't care 'cause I ain't from the States.
Either way it's a good thing 'cause we don't have to start no drama,
So listen here and give a cheer for your President Obama!

3rd verse: cheesy nipples
Quote:
So, Obama won the election, good going to the guy.
First black man running the country, bet he's on a high.
But while some celebrate, a few are feeling skittish.
I don't really care 'cause I'm purebred British!

4th verse: The Doom Merchant
Quote:
So, President Obama, I guess that's plenty cool.
I wouldn't really want to be under McPalin's rule.
We say, "I'll move to Canada, up there I'll have no debts,"
But I say, "******** that s**t, I'm moving to the Internets!"


Team #2: Alien Abductions

1st verse: Reeves
Quote:
Well, aliens came to get me one lonely winter night.
They took me to their ship, and all its rooms were gray and white.
They didn't probe me in the a**, that's too cliché, but then,
They defied the whole joke and probed me in the other end!

2nd verse: Nu Lucrezia
Quote:
Aliens took me straight from my bed.
They put me on a table and they put things on my head.
They asked me loads of questions, they really were quite bitchy.
I said, "I know very little, for I am Nicole Richie!"

3rd verse: Meacorme
Quote:
I got kidnapped by aliens, oh, I was out of luck,
But then I slowly looked and saw their spaceship was a truck.
They put me on a table and fed me rice, beans, and tacos,
Then I knew the aliens were from Mexico!

4th verse: Violaceous Vertigo
Quote:
Me and my mom were taken up into the skies
By an alien with green skin and vaguely familiar eyes,
And when I thought all was lost and my time was up,
Mom said, "Honey, meet my father, your grand-dad Aky'tup!"


Team #3: Ancient Egypt

1st verse: cheesy nipples
Quote:
The pharaohs built the pyramids, back when they ruled the land,
And the sphinx towered above the rest, oh it did look so grand.
But we all know the truth 'bout pharaohs of old.
They were really aliens called the Goa'uld!

2nd verse: The Doom Merchant
Quote:
Egyptians built the pyramids and sewed tapestries, too,
And you know that they did it with their massive enslaved crew.
Slavery is awesome! ...Well, at least it was for them,
'Cause I don't think Osiris really wants to sit and hem!

3rd verse: Reeves
Quote:
I read Egyptian myths and such way back in middle school,
Like when Set cut his bro to bits, man, that was so uncool.
But now Osiris is the king of death with staff and rod,
And I bet he taunts Set about who got the better job!

4th verse: Nu Lucrezia
Quote:
I liked the Egyptians, I think they were kinda cool.
They had all those slaves and the pharaoh was no fool.
They built the sphinx and everything, they knew where it was at.
The only thing that bothered me was the pharaoh's stupid hat!


Team #4: Evening News

1st verse: The Doom Merchant
Quote:
I've never liked the "Evening News," I'm gonna have to say,
But my mother loves to watch it each and every day.
The ranting of those people makes me want to kill her face,
Especially that strangely manly woman, 'Nancy Grace'!

2nd verse: cheesy nipples
Quote:
I don't watch the evening news, it gets right on my nerves.
"These people are dead and that woman's pregnant," tell me what purpose it serves.
Some old guy droning on 'bout the state of the planet,
I'd rather watch paint dry, so take the news and cram it!

3rd verse: Violaceous Vertigo
Quote:
I caught the evening news last night, I thought I'd watch it for a change
I tuned because they were reporting something strange
There's a baby monster with asthma that steals rubber boots for teething
But I couldn't find my boots today and - oh-em-gee, did you hear that breathing?!

4th verse: Meacorme
Quote:
The anchors on news programs, they really have it rough.
Doing different emotions can be pretty darn tough.
Some of them are boring, some of them are not,
Am I the only one thinking that Brian Williams is hot?


Team #5: Fast Food Chains

1st verse: Violaceous Vertigo
Quote:
Well, I'm a vegetarian, so I couldn't understand
Why everyone seemed to have a McBurger in their hand.
I investigated why the taste seemed to be such a pleaser,
But what I found were people locked in their back freezer!

2nd verse: Meacorme
Quote:
I don't eat fast food anymore; I know that stuff is bad,
But when I'm in ballet class, I end up really sad.
My teacher is obsessed with food and makes me so hungry
When he tells us not to make our arms look like KFC!

3rd verse: Nu Lucrezia
Quote:
I don't like those burgers, they really don't taste good.
There's twelve MacDonald's in my neighbourhood.
I don't see how they can say they're lovin' it,
Especially when the fries and shakes taste like s**t!

4th verse: Reeves
Quote:
I don't mind fast food, I don't eat it too much,
But I've had my fair share of burgers from Wendy's and such.
Yeah, I remember the finger-in-the-chili fiasco:
The owner of that Wendy's was in fact my Uncle Joe!


Team #6: Gladiators

1st verse: Nu Lucrezia
Quote:
I went back in time to see those Romans fight.
I loved it so much, I watched them every night,
Watching them go at it, seeing them get abused;
It gave me funny feelings, now I'm sexually confused!

2nd verse: Reeves
Quote:
I want to be a gladiator, fighting to the death,
I want to cut off arms and heads until I'm out of breath.
Yes, it's a little violent, but it just goes to show
What happens when you watch that angry a*****e Russell Crowe!

3rd verse: The Doom Merchant
Quote:
Gladiators sure do seem like real manly-men.
In the terms of AWESOME, they're eleven out of ten!
But all of that sweaty fighting'd really be a bore;
Back in Roman days, good sir, I'd rather be a whore!

4th verse: cheesy nipples
Quote:
Gladiators were an awesome breed,
Beating man and animal, bruised and bloodied,
Or are we talking about the ones that wear Lycra?
Wolf, Scorpion, Lightning, man, those guys were spectacular!

How does this work again?

Well, you could look at the main thread concerning this contest, but I shall copy and paste it here for the contestants.

A hoedown is pretty easy to do online, but here's how it works. For each group of four contestants, I will put up a topic for the hoedown in this font:

Wow, it's a Hoedown Topic!


In the original Whose Line game, the object is to very quickly think of a four-line song to go with a Hoedown melody based on said topic. The final line is meant to be a punchline. In this case, we'll follow the same format, but in writing. For every topic, I want to see four contributions from four different contestants before I move on to the next topic. Whoever writes the verses that we find the funniest becomes one of four semifinalists to compete in the second round.

For those spoilsports bystanders who aren't participating, feel free to give me suggestions on what we should "sing" about.

Here's a very funny example of a Whose Line Hoedown.

Okay, people, I need your ideas! Our first group is Meacorme, Violaceous Vertigo, cheesy nipples, and The Doom Merchant. What do you want them to "sing" about?

Exactly what I was going for, actually!

All right, Team #1! Your topic for your Hoedown is:

Barack Obama!


Take it away, Mea! Once you're not watching V for Vendetta, that is. biggrin

*clears throat*

Oh, after this election, I made such a big scene.
It made me very tired, so I wanted some caffeine.
I'll go to the cafe; my money will be spent.
I'll get a coffee just as black as my new president!

Wow, errr.... maybe I shouldn't be in this. I don't think I can rhyme that good. sweatdrop
PostPosted: Thu Nov 06, 2008 11:54 am


Oh, just do it. It's supposed to be fun. razz
Besides, you'll have plenty of time to think of something while waiting for Vio to take her turn.

I got something, but it's crap. I can't think of anything funny.

Try thinking of something else if you can. If not, just put it up when it's your turn.

I can do funny, but it don't rhyme, or fit a hoe down beat.
PostPosted: Thu Nov 06, 2008 12:13 pm


Sometimes even the Whose Line contestants will cheat a bit by stretching out single words over the beat. Just modify and analyze!

Nevermind, I think I got a better one now. See how I do.
