A couple of years ago, whilst the other place was supported by the mag and I had never met anybody from the forum in real lfe, Martin had a few problems making arrangements for thew HB2 meet (so called because it was the 2nd meet - and was at Hebden Bridge) I starting writing a ditty (to a tune provided by a professional!) and posted the words. A few other forum members (particularly Keith) added some words which I then incorporated into the final song: The Ballad of HB2
I really enjoyed the process and wondered if anyone was interested in giving it another go... All we need to do is pick a theme, pick a tune and away we go... any takers? (Needless to say the tune can't be too demanding or I'll not be able to play it!)

How did I miss this?! Feel free to kick us off with verse 1 Leo! I'm sure that once it gets underway there'll be some other contributions... Keith

I was hoping someone else might suggest a subject - like Keith did for The Colonoscopy Song and BBC/007 did for Lunchtime Geometry. I'm rubbish at picking my own subjects

What about finding a proper abbreviation for the forum meet?
When I think about what you guys can make out of a few letters then there might be enough material for a whole musical ;D

Ok, here's our starter for 10....
I've had the first verse or a while, the second verse turned up last week - but now I'm stuck. Can't think of anything for the middle eight (or whatever it's called)
So, it needs at least a middle thingy and another verse - anyone any ideas?
(To the tune of "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" Burt Bacharach/Hal David)
What do you get when you write some songs And post them to an online forum? The Plucky Duck's the best place for 'em, I'll... Never write a song again Oh, oh, I'll, never write a song again.
What do you get when you like your tune The moderator doesn't warn yer And moves your song to Heckler's Corner I'll... Never write a song again Oh, oh, I'll never write a song again

Too late... I've finished it off myself...and posted it in The Plucky Duck. Of course, it's not too late really - there's loads of room for improvement (to both the lyrics and he performance) so go for it

Putting this in again..... I'm trying to put together a song for Luis Suarez - I reckon a Beatles tune but can't get past the title: "Hey, Chewed"
