I have a question: does it have to be funny? Cuz I have a new idea (Claire's POV on PB&J with the song Sorry) but that definitely won't be funny... _________________

I'm no CM, but I wasn't under the impression that it had to be funny, the song just had to be specifically for a certain gender, and then you flip it to the opposite gender. You mean the song by Buckcherry? That doesn't specifically mention gender though, right? It's just sang by guys....does that count? If my idea doesn't work out, I may do something like that, so I'm interested in knowing, but I'll probably still try and do something funny just cuz it will amuse me. _________________

Yeah, I was curious about that too. I found a song I like, but it doesn't mention anything about gender. It's sung by a guy though. Does that count?? _________________ Morgan

Yeah, that's true that it doesn't mention gender. I'm gonna try and think of something else for the contest, but I might make the Claire/Sorry vid later just cuz I like the idea. _________________

Nope, it doesn't specifically have to be funny. However...

From the Specific Contest Rules in the first post...
Quote: | Try to pick a song with a definite gender mentioned in the lyrics. We're looking for more than just a generic song sung by a man and applied to a female character or the other way around. |
Since we're really wanting to see the gender being "flipped," you'll definitely want to pick a song that has some sort of gender mentioned in the lyrics.
I think we're going to get some really awesome entries for this one! I can hardly wait to see 'em! ♥! |

I have a suggestion for anyone who needs one. How about make a vid about the guys of the island to "I Feel Pretty"? That's pretty much a girls song, and I'm sure it mentions gender somewhere in there. Anyway, it's obviously not about guys in any way, so it should work. _________________

Whoa.. What an incredibley random contest subject!! I love it. Random's my middle name. (As well as 'dark' and 'twisted' )
I'm gonna have to don my thinking hat for this. I think my thinking hat looks rather fetching.. Anyhoo, I was thinking of using Cherry Lips by Garbage just cause the lyrics are so incredibley 'girl-based' but I'm not sure at the mo..
Ooohh. Question - You know how some songs are like, split so the chorus's are about a girl and the verse's are about a boy (or something like that)? Well, is it ok to flip those bits instead of a whole song? (That made more sense in my head) _________________

Hoping I understand you here Freya had a chat with the others and if you mean just flipping the chorus and not the whole song then no; we want the whole song flipped. But if you are flipping both figures in the song (male flipped to female, female flipped to male) and make sure the male figure in the song is a woman and the female figure in the song is a man then its ok. sos if I dont make sense _________________

Yeah that's what I meant. I didn't make it very clear, but yeah - the chorus's are about a "hysterical boy" and the verses are about a girl with "cherry lips and golden curls". Thanks for clearing that up - this contest seems to confuse me like, alot for some reason.
I kinda decided that song was too hard to use and not nearly AU enough so I think I'm gonna use either 'He Said He Loved Me' (Kate leaves Jack with the baby) or 'Beautiful Liar' with Kate two-timing Jack and Sawyer...
I really can't decide... I might make both and see which one I like better and enter that one for the contest. I dunno though - that seems like alot of effort...
Anyhoo, I'm really liking the idea for this contest now. Everyone's ideas sounds uber cool. I think all the entries are gonna be ace. _________________

In girls just want to have fun it mentions mothers and fathers.. do I have to flip them too? I mean the mother one might work but having a girl as a father doesn't really make a lot of sense.. plus I already had a cool father in mind :/ So what's the deal with that? _________________
