Tweet Suite: 50 Twitter messages set to music in 90 days

The 50/90 Challenge started a couple of days ago. The Challenge is to write 50 songs in 90 days.

I took part last year, and wrote loads of great songs (and a few silly ones). But the ones that really caught my imagination were the 12-second songs I wrote right at the end. So this year I’m writing short songs. Not 12 seconds, but definitely under a minute.

I’m going to find 50 brilliant tweets and set them to music. I’m calling it Tweet Suite:

Tweet Suite by Ben Walker: 50 Twitter messages set to music

Help me find the best tweets

So far I’ve found a few sites that claim to list the “best tweets”, but none of them have really delivered what I’m looking for. Maybe you can help. I’m not after funny tweets – setting them to music would be weird and horrible. I’m looking for the kind of tweets that make Twitter seem worthwhile. The tweets that inspire you. The tweets that restore your faith in humanity without being humourless. You know what I’m talking about.

You can submit tweets (or tweeters) to me in a few different ways:

I’ll put up a page with the candidates and the songs as I write them once I’m a couple of weeks into the challenge. Wish me luck, and keep your eyes open for brilliant tweets…

  1. What a cracking idea!

    Here are two of my fav tweets that just so happen to have been written on the same day:

    rustyrockets “Jesus!! You’re back – didn’t you d…? on the cross? Oh I see… Well that is impressive. How are your hands? Here, have a chocolate egg.” 11:44 AM Apr 13th from web

    diablocody My printer/scanner neither prints nor scans. It’s been getting by on its rugged good looks. 5:02 AM Apr 13th from web

  2. Nice one, Alice. Both cracked me up. I think the printer/scanner one might work (I love the Jesus tweet, but can’t quite see myself acting it out over music). Splendid.

    Good work with your recent reviews, btw. Very much enjoying the blog. ;)

  3. Here’s one for you: http://identi.ca/notice/8480972 also, http://identi.ca/tag/random might be a good source! look forward to this!
