Anyone want to have a fake old tune contest?

<Edited at Cupz request 10 June 2016. Good luck everyone! ~ Mexicola>

Contest rules!

* Create a fake track for hooper bay.
* Upload them to a file-sharing website and PM them to me.
* Best tracks are compiled as a hooper bay fake by me and a couple of other judges.
* The creator of the most convincing track gets the compilation on a cassette dressed as hooper bay.

Here's my submission


It isn't a perfectly accurate copy, but that's mostly because it wasn't originally intended to be one…

Any guidelines as to what qualifies as a 'fake old tune'?

I'm not participating and for that you should all be grateful, but I'm curious. How is this gonna work? Is everyone picking a track and providing their interpretation? Seems to me we could take one of the EPs (Hooper Bay for example) and go track by track. Everyone submits tracks and we vote in which track feels right for each title. Hell, these could be a nice little sideline to the OOT compilations.

Just sayin like ;-)

I already had a song idea I've been working on. It already sounds kinda old BoCish. I'll add some more stuff to it to seal the deal as best I can. Hooper Bay was supposed to have used lots of kids voices, so I'll add that in there. I'm gonna call a local elementary school and see if they're okay with me making some audio recordings at recess with my field recorder. School's almost over, so I better do that on Monday. I'll call one that's near my apartment right now and see if that will work.

If it's ok, I should make some lines for some kids to read out. What should I have some kids say?? Something involving fishing? Something poetic? Something philosophical? A simple positive expression?
