RE: Re: The Return of the STWPT!
"Let's face it, the Hokey Pokey and the Chicken Dance are on their way out.
Try writing a new participation song to take their place. Bonus points are assigned as follows (one point per item):
- The participation instructions are understood and easy to remember by the time the song has fully played once. (That is, by the second time the song is played, participants should feel comfortable with the instructions).
- The average human (not superhuman) can respond to the prompts before subsequent prompts are issued.
- At least 40% of the responses are non-verbal, and active.
- Contexts should be within good (sanitary, verbal, legal, casual social) taste.
- Song has a danceable beat
- After the song is performed, no guests request, hum, nor hear the Macarena.
- After the song is performed, the song is re-requested for play later that night
- Any time that night after the song is performed, one or more guests consciously performs the song's actions without the song playing
- No props are required besides other humans
- No prompts/responses plagiarize other popular participation songs
- Song contains at least 5 different prompts/responses
- Song does not nervously offend my grandparents
- Bonus points if you earn at least 5 other bonus points
- Negative infinity points for earning zero points prior to this item
Genre: Largely up to you; my immediate reaction would be a polka.
The bonus points are for real. In mid August, I can test the song at my fiancee's wedding, and will give you a solid "bonus point" score in addition to the purchase price.
I have approximately NO ideas for you. The only thing that comes to mind is making hand puppets, or whatever those are called, where you can make your hands talk. And then like talk to your neighbor (on the right, or on the left) with them or something."Comment
