Life... the Musical.
« on: 22 Jun 2006, 04:16 »

Basically, me and my good old buddy Leonard Bernstein have been throwing around this idea called "Life: The Musical".

The terms are this. You get a total of 20 songs that have to encapsulate your entire life as it is, detailing events. Preferably with the event(s) written next to the track. You are writing your own life's soundtrack. Feel free to denote where you are adapting the song into a different genre (such as, say, a theatre-operatic version of Back In Black, entirely in Italian)

Begin! Bear in mind, I shall be listening to everyone's 'life in musical form' so think carefully. I really hope this thread hasn't been done before. If it has, meh, it needs to be done again.

After I have listened to all your 'lives' then I shall decide a winner at the beginning of September. Submissions will no longer be accepted after August 3rd. Go!

Tough.

I have a first song though. Mercyful Fate - Evil.

tommy gets let off because he is so climactic and complicated. he can write a playlist for the life of his alter ego, Derek Fisch. Complete with fictional backstory.

This isn't really a new idea. It's been done many times before.

Saying that, I'm SO IN!
