Everyone seemed to be having alot of fun with these, so i took a crack at it and thought i'd share.i've really enjoyed listening to everyone's versions and think everyone has done an excellent job!song 1: i really like this first one "ChickaToo" but i only utilized a beat box and some bongos, may not be enough "world" flavor to see the light of day.http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... m=truesong 2: i wrote a song called "Chinese Checkers on a Bus" for the 50/90 song challenge and cut 20sec out of it for this listing.I re-titled it "ChinaTown" for this occasion.http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... am=trueall comments/suggestions are welcome, but mostly just wanted to share.later-marc

Song2 - Like it - has a unique, quirky feel - I didn't feel like I had heard it before - when a show has :20 to grab a viewers attention - music like this can be a definite asset.

Great tracks! I felt the first one had a bit more of a 'world' feel than the second. Both were nicely uptempo for sure.

Marc,I especially see Song 2 as being a great pitch. Upbeat, bouncy, fun, just like what they asked for... I especially like the umpa-umpa feel in the beat for this show's pitch. I might accentuate that bottom beat a little more (and maybe the upbeat on the guitar too?) to draw out that feel of the beat, something to make it "pop" a little more and give it a little more oomph to that upbeat dancy feel they are going to use. Maybe even a touch louder on the lead melody too-- it was a little soft. I think this one has a good shot at this listing! I'm going to put my bets on this one, Marc! Raags

wow, thanks for the encouraging words!i wasn't sure if these were hitting the mark and i guess i won't know for sure until i hear from the screener, but i do feel better about them.raags, thanks for the suggestions, i will take a listen tonight and try to implement some of them, I truly appreciate it!

I think Chicka Too has some "vibe" to it that works. Others (me included) went for more of an "a la" sound alike thing but yours is just a little more vibe-y, which is cool.Ultimately it's up to the screeners but it's worth it to submit, IMO.Good luck!!Mazz

I like both songs, but I think the second is really right for the listing.

I took some of Raags suggestions and revamped the Chinese ditty, feels like an improvement.new and improved! http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... m=trueThis was the 1st version if any would like to hear the differencehttp://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_id=166309&stream=true

Hi Marc,It sounds much brighter to me and it "pops" a little more--I really like this little tune of yours! My own personal preference was not to have the cymbal crashes (like the first one), but that's just a personal preference at this point. This is such a perky little tune, and I wish you all the best with a forward to (and a placement in!) King of the Hill!! Good luck to you, Marc!! Raags

Hey Marc,ChickaToo - The bass line sounds little too much like The Chicken by Jaco Pastorious, but screw it, I like the vibe alot!!!!ChinaTown - I like hearing someone going for more of an oriental vibe with this. The track does however sound like it ends abruptly?Nice work Marc, I hope you get the forward on either one!!!Take CareB
