New O&A Contest for bands - Re-Make "Pendulum" by FOUNDRY!

ATTENTION ALL BANDS, ARTISTS, PRODUCERS, COMPOSERS: How would you like to get yourself and your music/voice/production skills heard by a national audience?

OF COURSE YOU DO! (oh boy, do we have a contest for you!)

The Opie and Anthony Show wants YOU to show off YOUR creative chops and RE-MAKE the magical 1997 song "Pendulum" by the legendary rock and roll band FOUNDRY (MySpace page) (featuring the morbidly obese 'Steven Carr' on lead vocals).

Let's be very clear about this: We are looking for you to take the lyrics to this magical song (printed below) and create a TOTALLY NEW version of the song, keeping the same lyrics. Got it? COVER VERSIONS, CONVERSIONS, ANY STYLE, ANY GENRE

You have to keep the lyrics as-is. You pick the style (Rock, Pop, 80's, R&B, Jam Band, Blues, Dance, Club, Trance, Jazz, Crooner, Hip-Hop, Rap, Country, Ska, Polka, Folk, Spoken Word, Muzak, Toodlee Doo... get the point????) GO NUTS. WE DON'T CARE HOW YOU PRESENT THE SONG. Just re-make the song....and we'll make you famous. And we might even have a cool prize.

All song lyrics are printed below:

If you must EMail your entry...send a High-Quality MP3 (192 kbps or higher) to Danny@foundrymusic com / Danny@opieandanthony.com (no shitty, hissy, poorly-edited sound files. Those get deleted)

LYRICS

VERSE 1: Pendulum will swing at the center of attention Just another day another condescension Mock you, Shock you, Gonna Lock you down.
Pendulum will shift with a little bit of pressure Move too slow and the pendulum will get you. Show you, mow you, gonna throw you around.

PRE-CHORUS: You did the crime, but not the time Now you gotta pay for what you done You better run I’ve had all I can take of all your screaming in my ear My back is gonna break if you push me one more time.

CHORUS: My heart’s getting heavy, My blood’s getting cold You changed me into something that I just can’t control. If you see me comin’ Best get out of my way, ‘Cause the pendulum is swinging back the other way.

VERSE 2: Pendulum can take only so much yelling What he’ll do next there’s no telling Bump you, chump you, gonna dump you out.
Pendulum will break under too much tension Breakin down the walls of my detention. Wreckin’ ballin, kingdom fallin down
