X-MASSY NEW YEAR'S COMPETITION 2007-2008

These are the answers from the x-massy new year's competition. The challenge this year was: "Your title of a hypothetical Under Byen song. Write your suggestion for a new song title for a song they haven't already written. Be creative, have fun! If you're Danish write it in Danish, and if you're not, then feel free to do so in English if you don't feel comfortable enough with Danish."

Thanks a lot for playing along with this silly little game. There were a lot of suggestions. Some had more than one. A lot even. And they came from both Denmark and elsewhere. Some people from non-Danish speaking countries even tried coming up with something in Danish even though they were allowed to do it in English. And actually some didn't really know what they were writing, which is kind of interesting. Of course, the other Scandinavian countries might have it a bit easier with Danish than the rest of the world.

In order for everyone to get something out of the content of this page your webmaster have taken the liberty of translating the non-English titles into English (it wasn't easy!). You're all a bunch of little poets out there, aren't you? ;-)

First, here are the suggestions from participants from Denmark and some of the other Scandinavian countries:
