Encore - Feed the Childrens
Okay, I've already explained it on the other thread (and no objections--yay!), but here's the rules:
The quoted bit of lyrics must have lyrics that at least one nonsense word. For clarity's sake, we'll restrict nonsense words to mean "la", "na", "doo", and derivatives (tra-la-la, doot, etc.). Exceptions must be approved by...somebody other than yourself.
In addition to having nonsense lyrics, the quoted bit must have at least eight words that aren't nonsense.
By way of example and as my entry of the day:
"Deck the halls with bows of holly. Fa la la la la la la la la. 'Tis..."

Wait a minute, we're limiting the nonsense sounds that the nonsense can be? How am I supposed to know if it fits one of those sounds?
Also, not sure I get the reference in the title.

If common consensus says otherwise, you can use whatever nonsense you like until someone calls you out on it.Marduk wrote:Wait a minute, we're limiting the nonsense sounds that the nonsense can be? How am I supposed to know if it fits one of those sounds?

As for the thread title, one of Strong Bad's emails plays a song bizarrely titled "Feed the Childrens" to demonstrate passing off nonsense syllables as legit lyrics and was the primary inspiration for this round.

Also, I'm assuming that onomatopoeia is not considered nonsense. Is that right?

-"Old MacDonald"
(You could argue that "e-i-e-i-o" are letters, but I would counter that they're not meaningful within the song, as contrasted with "b-i-n-g-o" in the song "Bingo.")
