Each county of the UK gets one entry. Each forrin country with b3tans in it gets one entry. They will all be shit. DO NOT take it seriously.
Put dibs on your county here. Then you can sort out something with other local b3tans who want to help here too.
Entries must be posted here by 31st May AT THE LATEST. Post them by uploading them to somewhere like www.b3ta.cr3ation.co.uk/upload and putting a link to it here. Put the link in your first county dibbing post here to keep everything neat and tidy, making sure your post title states your county in nice big letters.
The rules are:
1. No cover versions.
2. No ripping off other tunes.
3. Not one tiny bit over two minutes. (if we do end up with loads of them to listen to we'd better keep them short)
4. Entries to be posted here with your county in the title of your post and the name of your band and song in the post somewhere before May 31st.
If you want to do a video to go with it, that's cool, but make sure to post an MP3 version too, as we want to turn this into a pod cast when we've done.
There will be some voting thing eventually but I have flip all idea how it will work yet.
There is no physical venue.

but ours was in a dub rock stylee

Unless anyone else wants to. Hopefully I will actually have time. Help greatly appreciated from other Herts types. We could all do it round my flat and drink boozes!
And compose the song too!

I'll be happy to help.
I have a terrible voice and no musical talent, but I can make a mean brew for the people who do.

I will mix some dramatic sounding guitar riffs with some silly/drunken lyrics.
Hmm recording the vocals may be a tad tricky with my mighty shite mic. I'll do what our last Eurovision contestants did, blame it on the audio equipment.
( , Mon 19 Mar 2007, 22:07, Reply)
I don't have the time or means to record one really.
( , Thu 19 Apr 2007, 19:53, Reply)
I may get all high and mighty since my county of Ceredigion isn't there, as Dyfed was split up several years ago.

Or South Ayrshire, whichever you feel is most appropriate.

TO YOU I PRESENT
MCQ- A LITTLE YELLOW TEAR
A beautiful yet heartbreaking story of a young man who loses the girl of his dreams through romance-triggered incontinence.
The lyrics are on this post here
I don't even come from Derbyshire, but since it's only 10 minutes drive I'm near enough.. and someone else took the Westest of the Yorkshires, though it appears brooza isn't bothering now.. so I will take West Yorks if it is going.

( , Wed 28 Mar 2007, 20:01, Reply)
because no man is an island except for me.
As I worked to the original spec of 45 seconds I have included two;
One is my tribute to /talk b3tan Johnny Catfish (who gets females and even males pregnant just by looking at them) and Evil Lu Johnny C
My second is a typical b3tan mind at work in sound and action mission impossible

( , Wed 18 Apr 2007, 17:13, Reply)
But c'n I have Tayside? The land from which I was birthed? Someone has to stand up for that green and verdant* land
I shall represent it with pride, and electronic noises.
Although I think it's now technically "Perth and Kinross". I do not know. I D'NOTKNOW!

It'll be a hit straight from the 1920s, in the county where old people go to die, and then forget.
/edit: Here's my entry.
It's all true:

I don't have the time/skill to do this. I had to drop out, because I kept saying 'yeah, I'll do it next week'. I can't compete with the Hood Butters' song anyway.

THEN WINNERS WILL WIN AND THAT.
