JC's opponents are P&S, and vice versa. The rules of this round for everyone else are: "Here’s where we step things up a notch. Your challenge is to write a song that utilizes a repeating syllable (ex: la, na, doo, etc.). The syllable must repeat at least 5 times in a row (ex: la la la la la). The resulting “repeated syllable” phrase can appear anywhere in your song, but must be repeated in full at least 3 times within the song. Also, this challenge includes a thematic element. Your song must feature a conflict between two (2) elements, provided below. You must choose one (1) element from COLUMN A and one (1) element from COLUMN B. COLUMN A ————— Santa Claus Miami Dolphins Stephen Hawking A Beach Towel High School Physics Albania The Color Orange A Toothpick Factory Marc Singer Hydroponics ———————————————————————– COLUMN B ————— Dracula Linux Pudding Coupons Scabies Cosplayers Your Kindergarten Teacher (must be named) Albert Camus Non-Alcoholic Lager Doc Hammer Your song must be at least 1m45s in length. Finally, your song must be an ORIGINAL CREATION, both music and lyrics, and can not utilize or sample a preexisting work." It's so simple, even a caveman could do it! ;-) The objective you cite is just for the Master’s level competitors in Round 2, and there are just 2 left; JC and Paul&Storm.

I am trying to figure out the complicated rules of the game in the site you linked. For instance-- If I wrote a song, as the rule goes, I cannot seem to understand, it would be in the style of Who? the opponent, but who is that? I think it is very interesting, and thanks for pointing it out. Pat Darnell and Friends HI;
