12-01-10 – The Song Remains the Same

For songs, I was going for something representational of the song, so a picture based on title, lyrics, or theme would all be appropriate.

I’m going to go with this on at least one shot, so I hope you really meant what you wrote. Lemme know if not.

Album covers I was going for more of a recreation of the album cover (or jacket liner). So Led Zeppelin, for example: the ‘Houses of the Holy’ cover could be done as a SFF version, but something like ‘Led Zeppelin I’ think would be more difficult, unless you can come up with a creative way to recreate the Hindenburg disaster.

The first thing I think of is “I won’t do this better than Orionid will, so I won’t bother.” 😕

Oh, how the hampster wheels have just started turning.
oh oh oh………

I promise, Kestrana, I won’t burn the house down.

So literal interpretation of album/song title is ok? That’s about all I have to go on for the moment. Wasn’t sure I would have anything to go on, but my iTunes library is proving to have some interesting possibilities.

Came back to see if I had posted this only to find out I hadn’t hit submit, so I thought I’d add this:
Not to be premature, but I think I have at least one very apt photo. I *might* link it to share if I’m asked nicely. 🙂

And if you have something awesome to share with the class, I
think we’d all appreciate it. I haven’t worked on this one at all yet 😛

I hope that worked….
If it did, for the song “Splish, Splash” by Bobby Darin.

Not that I’m giving any of my ideas away, because I am with this, but I figured I’d lend a hand. A few working song titles that lend themselves to being somewhat easy to get/interpret:

Blue Skies (written by Irving Berlin)
Autumn Leaves (written by Johnny Mercer), and I’m aware of the timing with the Autumn contest the week prior
Black Coffee (performed by at least Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, and I’ve been told Billie Holiday sang it, too)
Fever (performed by Peggy Lee)
Scotch and Soda (performed by Kingston Trio, also thought of Greenback Dollar by them as well)
Meat Loaf – You took the words right out of my mouth
Aqua – Aquarium (album name)
Aqua – Lollipop (Candyman), in the Aquarium album
Watermark – Enya (album name and title song)

Just a few, and that’s only what’s in my iTunes library that caught my eye. I haven’t gone through my sheet music for any other jazz standards as they seem to lend well to photographs from my perusing thus far.

I need to start thinking about this one…

Heh. Me too…
