(What in the name of Sam Peckinpah am I talking about? See HERE.)
We had a week to throw together a song. Here was our assignment:
-

Your challenge is to choose a famous inventor and craft a song proposing a “dance craze” based on either the inventor or one of his/her most well known inventions.
Here’s what we came up with:
You can go HERE to vote and register your approval, or lack thereof.

Awesome song! It really makes you want to do The Ballpoint!
2 Neb on Sep 13, 2008 at 8:12 am
“Whip out your ballpoint!”?
Ahem.
Excellent song, btw. I voted for it. Paul & Storm’s is nice, but unless they give instructions later in the lyrics (didn’t listen to the whole thing), it’s not something you can “do” as a dance, like, say, the “Zombie Stomp”.

bill your voice was heavenly. like listening to the bacon gods themselves!
5 Casey on Sep 13, 2008 at 9:38 am
EXCELLENT! it took everything in me not to get up and dance.

Bravo, Rifftones! you have cooked up, like a delicious pound of bacon, a wondrous new sort of sub-genre: ‘punk rock barbershop quartet.’ [not a quartet, but- oh, you know.] your song wasn’t just that, of course, but I could distinctly hear Bill’s spiky-haired youth happily shining through in his splendid vocal.
I loved it! I loved the Moody Blues-oid break in the middle, the audio inserts, and the fearless mingling of musical styles that you brought together to form one happy, pogoing mass. oh, I mean ‘Ballpointing’ mass.
and I didn’t leak while I was doing the Ballpoint! uh, I mean my PEN didn’t leak! [sorry]
listen: one can hear the happy sound of pocket protectors across this great land dying a welcome death as they fling themselves from the pockets of the Ballpointing masses.
thanks for a great song, Rifftones. I’m gonna listen to it again!

wooo! I voted for ya’ll. i liked the previous week’s one too! you’re up 2!!!
10 Smuttynose on Sep 13, 2008 at 1:50 pm
I’m doing the ballpoint right now, but I’m afraid my Mom will open the bathroom door and catch me.
11 Glyn on Sep 13, 2008 at 10:33 pm
You guys are saving these for an album right?
And was that Elinor Donahue at the end?
12 Yanni on Sep 14, 2008 at 5:45 am
You guys should make some music videos for these songs
13 Bill Corbett on Sep 14, 2008 at 7:11 am
Vivian Vance, a.k.a. “Ethel Mertz.”
14 Spookette on Sep 14, 2008 at 4:06 pm
I second the motion for an album!
15 AWD! on Sep 15, 2008 at 9:01 am
Should’ve been a rap song the way you blinged out that pen there.
16 Mary Arline on Sep 15, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Great song! I found the use of auxiliary percussion particularly effective.
17 Krud on Sep 16, 2008 at 6:29 am
When I got to work this morning, I discovered to my horror that my ballpoint — the one I use, without fail, every morning (unless I call off, or forget) — was MISSING. With no sign as to its current whereabouts (though probably on my boss’s desk.) So, this song brings back rather painful memories for me write now. Oops, I mean right. (I miss it enough to pen unintentional homonyms. PEN! Argh… *sniff* I gotta go.)
18 Kyrie on Sep 17, 2008 at 12:41 pm
I second the music videos, and third the album… we also need lyrics! How else can I hope to drive my sister crazy if I can’t sing along 24/7? Moon Shine was easy to figure out, but this one’s a little more complicated…
19 mrbasehart on Sep 19, 2008 at 6:49 am
I really enjoyed doing the Ballpoint, but I think I had to give my vote to the O’Sullivan Stomp this round. They were both pretty awesome though!
