Get your word or phrase into a customized cortex song!
UPDATE: Our fundraising goal has been met! But go ahead and read this if you haven't... [More:] Cortex is raising money for metachat by creating a special fundraising song that will include any word or phrase you specify - for $2 per word! So cover yourself with glory, commit yourself to posterity, and try to stump the songwriter.

Cortex sez:


Multiple words can also be purchased as a fixed string, so someone can throw down $10 either for the words "xylophone dios Cranston fiddlesticks gazebo" as general vocabulary to appear whereever in the song, or the fixed five-word string "Josh Millard is a stud" to appear as a unit.

I pledge to involve every word in audible fashion in the final composition. Specific suggestions and ideas are welcome, but will likely be ruthlessly ignored as I am an editorial nazi with my music. :)



So you can buy one word for $2; several words at $2 per word to be inserted randomly; or several words at $2 a word to create a specific phrase to be used.

This is all for fun and money, and the joy of torturing cortex... but if you submit anything defamatory or too obscene (yes, yes, I was totally reading your mind just now), you'll be asked to choose other words.

Please send your word requests to me with "metachat song" in the subject line, and I will submit them all together to cortex.

Bah..... "woke up in the pouring rain" is mine, but has 1 too many words, I suppose just "woke in the pouring rain" would do..

You can have as many words as you want... You just pay $2 per word, and specify if they are meant to be a string (phrase).

taz, are we supposed to send our phrases to you or directly to cortex?
posted by sveskemus 16 October | 06:55
Yeah I paid $10 so "woke in the pouring rain."

If this doesn't fit in your composition please let me know and I have a (logins working in Lynx) pony request!

Hm; good question. Send them to me, and put "metachat song" in the subject line, then I'll compile them into a neat list for cortex.

I've updated the post to add that, sveskemus, and also make clearer what btgog asked about.

Grace, you have a technical pony that needs feeding? Go ahead and send an email to seanyboy, and he'll sort out the oats. :)

Bring it on, people!

Ok, I sent mine in- let's see how you handle it, cortex!

"Josh Millard is a stud" to appear as a unit.

Hah...he said 'unit'...

The fucker just sent me a bill for recording "Mathowie's Community Blog." I'm gonna have to sell my house.

Ah, yes... the evil Cortex Corporation, or CORCOR, as it's known, has ruined many a life. But never fear, I think he will have his comeuppance in processing iconomy's song words. BWAHAHAHAAAAA.

What's the wordcount looking like, anyway?
posted by cortex 16 October | 11:55
I just donated $21.

I'd like ten repetitions of the word "cortex", please.

CORTEX CORTEX CORTEX
CORTEX CORTEX
CORTEX CORTEX CORTEX CORTEX CORTEX

(in the key of "dyaah")
