B3tavision song contest.

Each county of the UK gets one entry. Each forrin country with b3tans in it gets one entry. They will all be shit. DO NOT take it seriously.

Put dibs on your county here. Then you can sort out something with other local b3tans who want to help here too.

Entries must be posted here by 31st May AT THE LATEST. Post them by uploading them to somewhere like www.b3ta.cr3ation.co.uk/upload and putting a link to it here. Put the link in your first county dibbing post here to keep everything neat and tidy, making sure your post title states your county in nice big letters.

The rules are:
1. No cover versions.
2. No ripping off other tunes.
3. Not one tiny bit over two minutes. (if we do end up with loads of them to listen to we'd better keep them short)
4. Entries to be posted here with your county in the title of your post and the name of your band and song in the post somewhere before May 31st.

If you want to do a video to go with it, that's cool, but make sure to post an MP3 version too, as we want to turn this into a pod cast when we've done.

There will be some voting thing eventually but I have flip all idea how it will work yet.

MCQ- A LITTLE YELLOW TEAR

A beautiful yet heartbreaking story of a young man who loses the girl of his dreams through romance-triggered incontinence.

The lyrics are on this post here

I don't even come from Derbyshire, but since it's only 10 minutes drive I'm near enough.. and someone else took the Westest of the Yorkshires, though it appears brooza isn't bothering now.. so I will take West Yorks if it is going.
