That's right, kids, it's the forum game you've all been waiting for!! Yup, this is the one I made that poll about.

Inspired by ye olde Strong Bad email, guitar. Remember how Strong Bad went crazy imitating the different instruments? Well, this will go similar to that, but then again, entirely different.

Rules: Most of the posters will pick up to 3 instruments per post, then go crazy imitating that instrument. if you want, you can post a sound clip of you imitating it, lip-music style. You can even make a video of you doing that, just for hilarity. You can even post lyrics, if you want to.

That's how it goes until you get to the last poster on the page. That's where things start to get very interesting. The last poster goes through the page and takes all of those sound imitations, then actually puts 'em together to make an actual song. Actually, he can place the sounds in any order. Also, if he doesn't have much musical talent, he can feel free to use an app to create it artificially (or a mix of artificial music and "real" music), or make it into lip music. He can also suggest what genre the next song should be. Any lyrics posted can also be sung. let's hope people here have some nice singin voices. :p

That all sounds great, but what makes it truly awesome is that when you hear the song, you know that you took a part of it. You had a say in it. You cn listen to it and go "HEY! That's me!". And the music can also be any genre ya want. It can be rocking, it can be hip-hopping, it can even be gone country!

Here goes it.

Bass drum: Thump, thump-thump, thump-thump-thump, thump-thump, thump, thump-thump-thump thump-thumpthump, thump-thump. Thump, thump-thump, thump-thump-thump, thump-thump, thump, thump-thump-thump thump-thumpthump, thump-thump.

Electric Guitar: BLEH, NE NE NE NEEE, BLEEEEE!!! Ne, ne ne, NE-NE, NEEEEEE!!!, ne-ne-ne, ne-ne-ne, ne

Suspended Cymbals (like what you see on drum sets): ts, ts, ts, ts, ts ts-ts-ts, ts. ts, ts, ts, ts, ts ts-ts-ts, ts

I don't know how this game will go. There are 30 posts per page, and if each post has 3 instuments, that's 90 instruments each person has to make.

I'll keep playing just in case you can correct me and/or you have a method to your madness.

Piano - teedley teedley doot doot doo-dum dum daaaa

Snare - Cht, cht, ch-ti ch ti ch

Hi-hat - t' t' tss-t tss-t t t t-t-t-t-t

Ah, good point. Okay, here's a modifacrion: One instrument per post. And it doesn't have to be a new instrument, it can be simply another part with that instrument. How's that, topofsm?

Bass: Jow, jiggidy jow, juh-juh, juh-juh...JOWWWWWW-NOWWWWW

But it's still 30 instuments. Actually a bit less. Whatever. Okay, we'll start, but the person doesn't have to be Jimmie's or my first posts here, or Caustic's first post here. The post above me is the one they work with.

Electric: Dunn dunn dunn dunn dunn dunn, dun-dunnnn

Hmm... The only problem I see now is that we have to count posts every time we want to post here to see whether or not we'll have the last post, and, unavoidably, someone will miss that. Maybe, just to be a bit easier on everyone, we should make every 2nd post of the page be a compilation - it's a lot easier to count one post at the top of the page than to count 29.

Anywho. Who can guess which one I'll choose?

Trumpet: Doo-ba doo-ba doo BAP! BAP! Ba-doo-baaaa ba-doo-ba doo-ba doo-ba daaaiaiaiaiaiaiai doooowwwww...

^Um...you're only supposed to use one instrument now. Ah well. I guess I'll let the last poster on the page choose whichever one he wants.

Accordian: Oom pa pa, oom pa pa, oom papa, oom-oom-oom-oom pa pa, Oom pa pa, oom pa pa, oom papa, oom-oom-oom-oom pa pa, oom pa-pa-pa oom pa pa, oom pa pa oom, oom pa-pa-pa oom pa pa, oom pa pa oom, oom pa pa oom pa pa, oom pa pa oom, oom pa pa oom pa pa, oom, OOOOOOOOM (repeat)
