[Spoon-business] Song Form

[Daniel Lepage <dplepage@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I propose:
{{
__Sing along!__

[[To the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic]]

Add to rule four-thirty-seven, a new section A point Four,
titled "Song proposals", with the text, "There's a Poetic form,
It's called the Song proposal; to be one props must conform
to these rules for Song Form:

All the words must match the rhythm and the rhyme scheme of a song,
So if the song were playing, we could all just sing along,
What's more, the song in question must at least be twelve lines long,
or the prop is not Song Form!

If this seems like quite an Onus,
Or the it seems too monotonous,
This form's got a nifty Bonus:
Ten score points and two charm!

If a question should arise whether a song is bonafide,
Or if to the rhyme and rhythm of the song the prop complies,
then the Admin's word is final, it is e who shall decide,
If a prop is in Song Form!"
[[
Basically, if the text of a prop is written as a parody of a song, or 
at least something that roughly lines up with the rhyme scheme and the 
rhythm of an existing song, the prop is worth bonus points. Dave is the 
ultimate arbitrator of whether or not your proposal is based on an 
actual song, so no songs you "made up" yourself. And if other people 
don't think your version really fits with the song, Dave gets to decide 
whether you get the points.
