WIN A SHRUNKEN SKULL!

SHRUNKEN SKULL GIVE-AWAY CONTEST


I've been casting about for what to do with the remaining Shrunken Skulls and finally inspiration has struck courtesy of a recent musical submission...

The next 7 complete songs (music w/singing) about Skull-A-Day I receive will win a FREE Signed/Numbered Limited Edition Shrunken Skull shipped anywhere in the world. [As of 9/6 I've received all 7, but you could still be a runner up so read on...]

Any style of music/singing, any level of ability, any language! No covers please, this must be an original song by you. MP3 is best, but if you don't have an audio recording device you could also make a video of it and send it in or post it on YouTube. Send entries to the submissions address (upper right corner of the site). Please, just one submission per household. Be sure to include your address and the lyrics (if it's not in English a translation would be appreciated). The contest ends when I've gotten 7 songs.

PLEASE NOTE: Submitting a song means you agree to release it under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial- ShareAlike license.

UPDATE: Yes, you can submit a song even after the main contest is over. Be sure to include your address, I might give out a limited number of small runner-up prizes as well.

UPDATE: Yes, song parodies (using an existing tune with new lyrics) are also acceptable, as long as you don't use an original recording of the music.

I'll post all the winning submissions for download on a future post. Good luck!

WINNER UPDATE:
We have all seven winner submissions alredy! But I'm working on getting a few runner up prizes so if you have something in the works go ahead and submit it and I'll post it to the site!

p.s. GrĂ¡ you're getting a skull too!

Yep, feel free to submit even after the main prizes are awarded, I might have some runner-up prizes to award as well, we'll see...

That Los Fabulosos Cadillacs song is pretty cool: Funkily lightly taken morbidity.

I would love one, but I fear that my singing would scare away even your fans. ;)

Noah said...

B13: You can have someone else sing for you if you like!

Tim said...

Do you have seven yet? I might run home from work during lunch today to record something with my uke.

Noah said...

I'll note on the page as they come in, but as of now I've got NONE!

Tim said...

This isn't my official submission, but the idea made me laugh, so I had to do it. Yes I know it's terrible. Hopefully people get the reference:

Tim that is AWESOMELY HILARIOUS, thanks!

Sent one in. Hope it made it in time!!

ok, I know you said no covers... but I think this is more of a homage. I work better behind the lens than in front of the mic.

Parodies are acceptable!
