You Chose to be a Dick - Steve Chatterton

I wrote this for a songwriting contest called Masters of Song Fu.

The challenge for this round was to write a standard song that was exactly one minute long.

Mine's called "You Chose to be a Dick," and it's all about a guy named Richard who makes some very bad choices.

I'd like to give a big shout out to Stu Duncan & the gang at Bight Games (http://www.bightgames.com/) who helped me craft my idiotic concept into the video you're now (hopefully) enjoying.

Some people named Richard think I'm calling them names, but if you read the lyrics (on-screen in the video), you'll see that it's Dick with a big D. Read my blog for further explanation if you're still concerned:

I hadn't been by and was commenting on your Facebook page. I hadn't been by to see the video for this. This actually ended up being my favorite one minute Fu song. It's a great video!

Thanks!

Voting went How?

About the same as ever. I may not get a lot of votes, but I got this song in the end, so that's not too bad.

Bight Games did the animation, and in the future I will write some music for one of their games.

Just clicked here after someone mentioned this song on Girls With Slingshots. Pretty funny :-)

Sick, dude. I agree, this round was really strong for pretty much everybody. :)

Very sweet animation! This makes my "Bomb Squad Girl" video look like a vacation slide show!

Did you do the animation, or is that what the people at Bright Games did?
