paul\'s DMB thread gave me an idea..
instead of having the lyrics section as it is now (just one thread with every song), what about a new Song Forum, with one thread for each song? the first post will have the lyrics, and each thread can have discussion about song meanings, interpretations, best versions, etc...
what\'s everyone think? vote.
-
sounds great... but complicated. just like ur poll. why is there no "maybe" choice???!!! :confused:
-
I say WTF why not it might create a few quiet threads but a few that will be pretty busy too, but I see no reason as to why not......
-
What\'s so complicating? Yes or no. There\'s no maybes here!!!

sorry, i forgot there would be women voting too.. :duck:

sounds like a good idea. A Breakfast version of The Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics (http://arts.ucsc.edu/Gdead/AGDL/)
Another idea might be to periodically update the first post as well. Once there is an agreeded upon theme, that could be posted up top as an official/unofficial statement on what the song is about. That way (especially for newbies) they wont have to read through the whole thread to find out what the agreed upon definition is.
-
I think that\'s enough votes so get on it Dave, sheesh fuckin slacker ;)

(http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/sprachlos/speechless-smiley-020.gif) hhmmph... that\'s very unethical and discriminatory for this so-called "open-minded board." I refuse to be a part of such an evil conspiracy where there are no "maybes" ... (http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/aktion/action-smiley-084.gif)

I was actually thinking that when I saw the DMB thread...go for it!!

you guys are such fucking geeks.

With the kind of foolishness that gets posted on this board (me being a contributor of said nonsense), I think its a bit of a pipe dream to think these threads will at all resemble The Annotated GD page.
But I still think its a good idea.

well thats why I suggested updating the first post, so that you can read that for the good info, or go through the whole thing if you want to.
-
i vote yes. Dave, that means your original lyrics to the Chase, or excuse me, \'Count Funkula\' may eventually surface now!

Great idea....but who will decide what ideas, themes or insights make top billing???
-
um, how about dave?
-
\'Count Funkula\'
wha what? that is so funny...
-
Doesn\'t he have enough to do?
-
um, how about dave?
YAY Dave!

yeah, sounds like a great idea. and i support the idea that the agreed upon interpretation should be up top. looking forward to this.
-
meh... not too interested in a "song thread" for EACH song - too many loopholes; leave it up to the .infoer to grasp the meaning. What about instrumentals? Never-played songs? Seems like a waste of time & energy, DP.
-
leave it up to the .infoer to grasp the meaning.
you make a good point here. this is so much of what music is about - each person connecting to a song in his/her own way. but i still like the idea of a song thread so that each person can share his/her thoughts and maybe gain insight or perspective to further his/her understanding.
having said that, i now have an issue with my last post about putting the "agreed upon" interpretation at the top of the thread. first of all, who are we to decide that? and secondly, reading through the thread will offer the train of thought that is so important to understanding (or thinking you understand) the meaning of a song. so i would say if people are genuinely interested in understanding a song, they should read the thread....
-
I only said no because I think the discussion on the setlist threads speaks for itself. Like Me! said, there\'ll be a whole bunch of threads that will be busy for a while then would probably die down. I like having the lyrics all on one thread, too.
-
I think its a great idea.....Now I would have a reason to check the lyrics section. Maybe now I will learn some Breakfast lyrics....
-
Robyn, what are you talking about?

so what\'s the final verdic here? yay? or neigh? :poop:
-
too close to call. looks like a recount.
-
^^obviously enough but is he actually gonna do it is my question......
-
I think that there should still be a thread for just lyrics. That way if people want to just scan lyrics for several songs it\'s quicker and easier. Then perhaps ALSO a thread for each individual song, with or without the lyrics. Someone may have already said this; I didn\'t read through the whole thread...
Also, I don\'t like that smiley where the guy hits the horse over the head. The horse should buck him off. How would you like it if someone hit YOU over the head every time you had to shit?

Are any of these better?
:slap: :asskicked :pukedon: :fart: :lollol: :wedgie: :bancrash:
-
Yes those are all fine. :D
-
I think it is a nice idea but I think the lyric thread is fine and when someone wants to discuss a song they can make a thread as one does now.
I really do not see a need for this.
As has been mentioned not all threads will get attention. One result will most def. be those wonderful threads that will be started in support of those ignored threads.
Then there will be the threads started outside of the appropriate area by either newbs or the temporarily memory impaired .
I predict these type threads will just continue and eventually make the "song threads" moot if they are indeed created.
