This is sort of an unfinished sketch right now, but I wanted to get is up before I changed my mind. I don't think this is exactly what David had in mind with this assignment!

Does he/she love you or love you not?
That is the question
Will you ever tie the knot?

Hi Pearl :D

I have to say that I really like what you have so far.

It's very bittersweet - Both funny and yet sad all at the same time.

I think it fits well into what David had in mind this week.... Especially with the 'spell' part.
And in that it has a twisted sense of fate or destiny typical of modern western thinking :|

IMO - A keeper!

Can't wait to hear the finished version (I really like your singing :D )

oh hell, there's a bloody brilliant Tom Waits song that this reminds me of in its form, but I can't for the life of me recall its name! :evil: I'll post if I do, its a long kewl jazzy one where he refers a lot to advert slogans.

I like the idea you've got going here, but can't wait to see it developed further. I'd quite like to see some kind of twist - e.g. things not working and the guy/girl seeking a refund and the 'shop' reufsing since its not their fault it failed to work, or something like that.

good job, and a refreshing/creative take on a topic that's leaving me stumped.

Step Right Up, I think, from the album Small Change.

I'll accept that. Maybe without an argument if you come up with music for it! :wink:

Peace
