Write a Song Backwards?

Post by suzdoyle » Fri Mar 20, 2009 9:38 am

Hey gang;My comedy improv troupe did this fun improv game in which an interviewer and interviewee conduct an interview backwards. It starts with the last line of the interview and works backwards, with each actor making up a line which justifies what was said in the previous one. It's tricky!Which made me wonder about writing a songs backwards -- WANNA TRY? If so, I'll start by providing the last line of the chorus. The next person could copy and paste the below "framework" into an email, and add the 3rd line (that has to justify and make sense of the 4th line). The next person would copy/ paste that, and add line 2 (which has to justify and make sense with lines 3 & 4) and so on until we reach the first line of verse 1.SHALL we play? If so, jump on in!! And remember, we're writing this BACKWARDS from the last line to the first. Wheeeeeee!Suz************************BACKWARDS SONGThe newest Top 40 Hit singleby Assorted Taxi Co-hortsFinal chorus : Line 4. And that's why I don't love you anymore.Line 3.Line 2.
