Skirmish: A Truly Impressive Pile o... (@ajna1960)Liner Notes
My response to the "Truly Impressive Pile of Cheese" skirmish I am sure I won't be alone in going with the "cheesy" interpretation of the word cheese 😜
INSTRUMENT Cheap Pineapple Soprano Ukulele #FUC
Lyrics
(F) We have only a limited time to devote to (Bb) leisure So when we (C) choose a film it must bring us both (F) pleasure But the one we saw last night really failed to (Bb) please It was a (C) truly impressive pile of rotten (F) cheese
(F) I lost count of the clichés at a (Bb) hundred How(C)ever did this get made? We both (F) wondered We won't ever come back for a re(Bb)prise What a (C) truly impressive pile of rotten (F) cheese
When we (Bb) fancied a comedy that (F) night We were (C) hoping for some laughs to put things (F) right But there (Dm) wasn't even a single smile in (Bb) sight That script should have been re(C)jected out(F)right!
(F) Whoever told that actor he was (Bb) funny? His (C) salary was surely a waste of (F) money And we could have been spared that gross strip(Bb)tease In that (C) truly impressive pile of (F) rotten cheese
CHORUS

Nice one! I think the first verse just sets it off so well. It's like you were forced to write a song about it because of your extreme disappointment :)

Oh I love your take on this prompt! So funny, especially the last verse. Bravo!

Nicely done prompt response. It fits with my opinions of several over-hyped, big budget movies I've watched in the last year. Love how the uke works with your voice.

Amazing skirmish response! The uke fits the mood you’ve created very well. Sadly, even the worst movies get recommended by someone. Sometimes even a friend.

Such a charming uke sound, and your bemused voice really sells the fun, low-stakes story. A real feel-good song!

I love the Dm in the chorus that refreshes the chord progression just at the right time to perk up the ear.

Catchy uke here! And I like the way you work the title line in.

Ha! Great storytelling music. Loved it.

Well-structured; I like how you've worked the title in as a refrain. Very nice, all around.

I love your take on the skirmish prompt! A movie review! And a rating of "a truly impressive pile of rotten cheese"!! Your lyrics are really tight and fun to follow along with! And your vocal performance is delightful! A great skirmish effort!

Nice take on the theme! Great word play as well!

Well done, a wicked dancy tune with some great lines of melody. Nice.

You took the challenge to another level. When I read the title I was thinking of stinky cheese that you forgot to put in a proper box... instead it's about bad movies. Both are bad. Well played!

This is some lyric to come up with in that time, both clever AND funny. Allied with a bouncy catchy tune - winner! 🏆

Ha! This is delightful and fun. It is also totally relatable. We rarely watch a movie and it is always disappointing when we choose something that stinks like a pile of rotten cheese. The little ukulele works well for this up-tempo song.
