Anyone else working on one?
Maybe to be ready in say ooooh... 6 weeks or so??

I started one. I got about 75% of the lyrics but I think I'm going to scrap it. It started out as one thing, then I tried to be clever, now it's turned into a joke type song and I think the joke isn't good enough. Rather than trying to salvage a verse or two I think I'm going to just start fresh and try to come up with a different idea.

I've got one I've been working on since 1972. I'm not optimistic about the six week deadline.

Got two in the works. One just needs some time to sit down and figure out the lyrics a little better. The other needs the melody tweaked to a more human singable range.

Neither one is guaranteed to be any better than the last two, but that won't slow me down any.

Me, too. If I get one done in this lifetime, I'd be surprised.

Yeah, I'm working on some. I'm working on performing a few of them, a few more are in the writing and noodling stage. Maybe in the end I'll wind up with one or two keepers. The rest will fade away and it's likely some will come back as something differently the same in a few years.

Guy
some guy
That guy
the other guy
one of "those" guys
Any guy
Don't be that guy
Wish I was that guy

Or the last line of each verse could be "It's because I'm a guy"
or
"It's not easy being a guy"

Lotta places you can go with it.
