So, here are the rules for the second challenge in the Song Fu songwriting contest:
Here’s where we step things up a notch. Your challenge is to write a song that utilizes a repeating syllable (ex: la, na, doo, etc.). The syllable must repeat at least 5 times in a row (ex: la la la la la). The resulting “repeated syllable” phrase can appear anywhere in your song, but must be repeated in full at least 3 times within the song. Also, this challenge includes a thematic element. Your song must feature a conflict between two (2) elements, provided below. You must choose one (1) element from COLUMN A and one (1) element from COLUMN B.
COLUMN A
—————
Santa Claus
Miami Dolphins
Stephen Hawking
A Beach Towel

———————————————————————–
COLUMN B
—————
Dracula
Linux

Your song must be at least 1m45s in length. Finally, your song must be an ORIGINAL CREATION, both music and lyrics, and can not utilize or sample a preexisting work. All songs are due no later than 11:59pm EST on Tuesday, July 1st. If you have any questions whatsoever regarding details of the challenge, please drop us a line and ask.
I think I have figured out what I'm going to do. Let's hope it sounds as good recorded as it does in my head. Gonna start trying to work it out tonight. Wish me luck!

Very nice. You definitely redeemed yourself, if that was even necessary. I haven't listened to all yet (esp. Run At The Dog, whose song is misposted), but I definitely like yours.
