Notes on Songwriting Challenge #2

Via twitter, I’ve lobbed the second songwriting challenge into your proverbial court.  Using the EXACT chord progression of Jimmy Webb’s seminal AM gold hit “Wichita Lineman,” write a song based on the following subject: excessively modern furniture.  Youtube yourself playing said song, send me a link via twitter, and I will judge the entries.

Not for the faint of heart, obviously.

Here’s a link to the Wichita Lineman chords: http://www.thewalkabouts.com/WICHITA.HTM

And here’s a picture of excessively modern furniture:

GO!
