(Yes I know this is a bit silly but oh well!)
So yeah, as a bit of backstory, about three years ago I was part of a palaeontology club at my school, and at some point last year we had a sort of 'reunion' and were set about to write, erm, fossil-themed poems and songs for performance at a school concert. Apparently, the one that I wrote was everybody's favourite, and so yesterday a bit of the song was played on some unknown local radio station (BBC Solent, anyone...?), and I was credited with it, rather than the people actually singing it. So, uh, hooray.
The most amusing thing, though, is that the song was literally wrote in about four minutes on the back of a crumpled worksheet, and yet it was apparently better than ones that were desperately and precisely written over the course of many, ah, days.
So yay, five minutes of fame on a radio station that hardly anybody listens to~
If anyone's particularly interested, the song was about Gryphaea, and was titled Upside-Down: The Gryphaea's Lament.
(Oh and if you go here (UK only, sorry - silly iPlayer) and listen from around 20:00 to 25:30, you'll hear the story in more, erm, depth, as well as the section of sing itself (Must stress that it's not me singing, I just wrote the song))
