Liner Notes

I really was thinking about giving up on the MTC this year, but then @robinleaf came up with this skirmish prompt: Write about the experience of writing a song you're writing... - and I decided to put my frustration into words.

Lyrics

Movie Title Challenge

It's FAWM again and I sign up
to challenges once more
never quite knowing
what this time I'll be in for
And then the Movie Title Challenge
hits me where it hurts
How am I supposed to find
the right or any words
and really there is now way
that I'll be singing
about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Beginning

I've done songs for this challenge
that I still adore
and so I will sign up next year
because I loved what came before
But I guess this year's title
will not help me in my winning
for no way will I write a song
to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Beginning
No way!

Ha ha ha! I'm sure I'd feel the same way if I got that title for this challenge. I usually try to watch the movie, if I can, but this year I wasn't going to watch the movie title I got - Grace, about a newborn that drinks blood. Ha ha, so I looked up the movie plot on Wikipedia instead and was able to come up with something. I wouldn't watch any of the Chainsaw Massacre movies either, so I don't blame you. I really like what you wrote here, though, because it's entertaining and funny and a great way to tackle a challenging challenge. 😀

This is terrific! Very imaginative take on the challenge.

@phonopath @cbmagic @motorcitymusicman Thanks for your comments on "Movie Title Challenge"
@philkmills GMTA I actually thought about massacring (?) chainsaws in Texas, but I'm glad I found this alternative 😀
