***IMPORTANT EDIT*** CONTEST INFO!!!!!

[Mika]

***EDIT***

The object of this contest will be to read the correct lyrics of TWO fun. songs as fast as you can. Since different websites have different lyrics and not everyone has the albums, I will post the lyrics you will use.

Just spend a few days practicing and timing yourself, and when you think you’re ready, video tape yourself reading the lyrics. Post the video on YouTube and title it whatever you would like. Then, post the link in the other thread I’ve posted titled Lyric Speed Reading Entries.

The more people who enter, the more fun (no pun intended) this contest will be! Tell everyone whom you think would be interested!!! Post about it on Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, and anywhere else you can think of! This isn’t required, but it would be very helpful 

Details-

Deadline: February 12, 2013. I chose this date because it gives you a good chunk of time and it’s the day I get to see fun. in concert!

Songs: We Are Young, Walking The Dog.

And what you are all waiting for, PRIZES: One winner will receive their pick of anything off the fun. online store up to $20. This doesn’t include tax or shipping, so you don’t have to account for that  For example, you can get a shirt for $20, or you can get two posters and the silly bands, or any other combination totaling $20. At this point, I don’t think I can do international shipping. I checked prices, and for me to ship that it would cost upwards of $60 just for shipping. International fans, you can still enter and I will pick one international winner as well and I will promo you on Tumblr, Twitter, and/or Instagram. I’m sorry this is such a crappy prize, and I’m bummed I can’t ship to you guys. So for this contest the merch prize is only open for USA entries. In the future when I actually have a job, I will open contests to anyone.

Lyrics to use:
We Are Young- www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/fun/weareyoung.html

Walking The Dog - www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/fun/walkingthedog.html

If there are any questions, just reply to this thread and ask! And good luck to everyone!

PS. Feel free to add a little message to the beginning or something! I won't start the time until you actually start talking the lyrics.

If you dont mind, i might not do this one, its just cause of the postage thing (and i dont blame you!!!! its shocking how much it costs!and i too am hoping to get a job soon, so know what its like!) but good luck to everyone! hope you have fun doing it, and i will watch all the videos too.

Just out of curiosity, do we need to read the lyrics for all four songs, or do we just pick one?

[Mika]

That's a good question. Sorry I didn't clarify. All four songs together as if they were one song

[funon]

I actually think the lyric "sounds like a swan" is accurate. If you listen to nate singing it in like an acoustic version or something that's more precise that's what it sounds like. This isn't really relevant to the contest but I just thought I'd share.

[Mika]

Whaaaaaat. I just checked out like five live versions and you're totally right. Mind blown. In the original it sounds nothing like that! I even listened close to the album version over and over again and it seriously sounds like "they sound like ths one". Okay, you're right

[becalmcarryon]

I will totally do this!!(:

[Mika]

For those of you that have attempted this- would it be easier if I cut it down to two songs? There are no entries yet and I was wondering if it was because it's too difficult.

[amoccasinsituation]

Yes! Two songs would be much better, I think. I've been working on my entry!

[Mika]

Alright! I changed it to two songs!

[VintageBlossom14]

Since i cant take part, could i perhaps help judge??

[Mika]

Yes! That would be awesome!

[VintageBlossom14]

awesome! im excited now! perhaps when its time to decide we could skype to talk about it or something?
