I am currently composing/attempting to record a punk rock version of this; an embarrassingly low quality recording of which I would be happy to e-mail to interested parties when I get it done.

I encourage others to come up with different music because I am 100% certain I did not come up with the ideal composition for this song.

Edit: Here it is! I reiterate that the quality is embarrassingly bad!

Hmm Sex Pistols vis a vis Anarchy in the UK: "I am an instrumental rationalist! I don't know what I want, but I know how to get it!'

"I am an instrumentalist rationalist. I know I'm a terrible singer, so I get better results with just the guitar."

I'm a big fan of multiple versions and multiple styles for the same song. I do have a particular melody in mind, and I have a recording of myself singing it, but I wanted to wait a bit and see what others come up uncontaminated by my thought processes (partly to encourage variety, partly because I'm pretty sure I didn't nail the ideal composition either).

I missed the window where that link worked, apparently.

I still haven't recorded the song the way I originally intended, but will probably do so by the end of the month. I'm planning it for a Newtonmass Celebration.

I have had several requests for this song but unfortunately I have been busy preparing to leave for an extended trip to europe so I won't be able to record anything until august. Apologies to those who await the fruits of my lack of talent.
