The Fiery Furnaces are pleased to announce that the First Annual Moonless Monday Song-Writing competition has begun–with the lyrics.
Entries must be no shorter than twenty-five words and no longer than one thousand. Each lyric must include a synonym, of sorts, for “Cabaret” (for instance, “small-stage club”), “Seven” (for instance, “twenty-five minus eighteen”), and “Devils” (for instance, “under satanic oppression individual”). You may enter up to five times. Please send your entries to: moonlessmonday@hotmail.com
Two sets of lyrics will be declared the winner(s)!
These lyrics will then be combined–and set to the combination of the two winners of the Moonless Monday Tune competition-part-of-the-competition (which has not yet begun).
The Champion amalgamated number will be recorded (perhaps) by Fiery Furnaces’ percussionist and famous Song-Poem collector Michael Goodman and sung by Fiery Furnaces singer Eleanor Friedberger.
The winners will receive “Cabaret of the Seven Devils” t-shirts! And other prizes to be determined!

uhh, yeah im not very smart…. so i am very confused as to any parameters regarding this contest….seems the only parameters are 25-1000 words…..and include synonyms for “cabaret of the 7 devils” when i think about it that way, it seems simple….never mind!!

What a fun assignment!
I must echo the concern for the apparent lack of deadline, though.
Have we missed it?
