Well, hell’s bells, Huck. This account has now reached 7,000 followers.

The celebratory contest this time will be a little different. Instead of just guessing a number, you’re going to have to make something!

I wanna see what kind of music videos/films you guys can come up with for this song I recorded a while ago, called “Calico”:

LYRICS:

Well I rode the city bus to the other side of town
got out and walked around
found a calico cat in the alley out back
of the city college grounds

He led me to the beach
and disappeared into the trees
I sat down, I sat down, I sat down, I sat down
and stared out at the sea

Then I found an old bike and took it for a ride
nobody there but me
but then the sun went down
and I was feelin’ low

Then I realized life ain’t really life
if you’re too afraid to let somebody else inside
I got back on the bus and I found my way home
called my friend that night

Well we spilled all our guts and our scars and our cuts
by the riverside

CONTEST RULES:

• Using the downloaded audio from the Soundcloud link above (click “more” and then click “download”), make a music video with your own footage/photography/animation. Anything you feel. It doesn’t need to be “pro-quality.” Just needs to be from the heart.

• It must not be a simple slideshow made from downloaded Google images or all still photos. Must not be footage of your living room floor or backyard for 3 minutes. Must be some real love put into it. Again, it doesn’t need to be "pro-slick,” but no soulless garbage, please!

• Upvote and resteem this post, and then make a post containing your original video with the song.

• Put a link to your submission in the comments section of this post!

• 1st place wins 70 SBD! 2nd place wins 20 SBD, and 3rd place wins 10!

• If only one contestant enters, and the video is not a piece of shit (see second bullet point), that contestant will win all of the prize money (100 SBD)!

Winners will be announced at the time of payout of this post!

Judges are myself, my 5-year-old son, and the two cats that wander around my house!

Good luck!
