To participate in the contest, you will name the author/composer of a song.

To enter the contest, you must add your name here by ... calculate calculate ... 9 pm GMT.

Before that time, I will PM you the lyrics.

You may then add the name you choose for the author/composer to the thread.

No googling. The "right" name *will not win the prize*.

And no copying of the lyrics into this thread. Anybody who wants them has to ask for them.

Oh -- but once you've got them, you can feel free to pass them on to anyone else who asks, or who *you* think would enjoy them / want to enter the contest.

The winner gets a copy of the mp3 of the song being performed by its author/composer. Some might not call this a "prize", but there you are. It's what I've got to give away.

To tantalize you ... a line from the song ...

"Uh huh, get down."

Is that it Janey?....that the only clue?...

No no no! You get the lyrics!

Watch out, here they come. You did ask for them, right? I'd better check. I don't want to be sending them to anybody who didn't ask for them ...

O...Kay.....so you give someone the lyrics..(whom asks..)..and we have to guess the composer?..seems simple enough..

if we think we know the answer can we post them now?

Yeah go on I'll have a bash at it lol xx

....me too....but no googling!

can you send me the lyrics too pls

ill have a go please :)

still waititng for me lyrics to be sent, hurry up Janey, I got a chicken to stuff...

...only one flaw..what if you PM..someone first..and give them an advantage..?...I could be way down on the pecking order ; ) lol

Okay, PMs are coming.

This isn't *guessing* -- this is your chance to be creative.

If you *know* the answer, you may NOT post it!!

You get to name the composer yourself.

The winner will be chosen arbitrarily by me, at my own whim, according to no particular criterion, and my decision will be final and not subject to challenge.

However, you will be able to comment on my decision, argue about my decision, insult my decision (and me), mock my decision (and me), etc. etc., to your heart's content.

Once you get the lyrics, go ahead and post your choice of name.

You may also then comment on, argue about, praise or insult, and admire or mock anyone else's chosen name, and the person who chose it, to your heart's content as well. It's my thread and what I say goes.

You asked for it ... and I should add, it all comes to us courtesy of No.2 -- who is *not* the composer, just a fan.

lol..Whirley!!..yes Ive managed to make a cup of coffee and eat 3 rich tea biscuits...the suspense is killing me..(not literally..)

Oh, and I'll be able to tell if you cheated and googled.

Okay, go ahead and pass it on if you like.

This, do, in memory ...

Really. It's the name is funnier than the song. So take your best shot -- and do not google!!!!

Post names here, starting now.

As we say on TTF, do not answer by PM. ;)

well, am glad I never said who I thought it was....lol..no idea,..will keep looking at those lyrics...

was it anyone on GR that composed em?

Nah, nobody we know. No.2 knows him vaguely, but he moved 20 years ago. The mp3 seems to be a live performance from that era.

....well....I dont spose, I will be winning! lol...
very amusing lyrics...so very true...too..
But have not a clue!!
Monty python came into my mind...
Clueless...

Yeesh, you guys.

Make up a name!!

A name that fits the lyrics.

Funny and rude.

And the first one to say "E___k" gets a booby prize. With this song being the prize, I don't know what the booby prize could possibly be ...

I haven't got the lyrics yet :0(
