JoCo's Forum Fu
I'm going to see a couple of JoCo shows in a few days. Last show it was fun to give him a printout of the brackets from the Favorite Song Tournament which everyone here had a hand in creating.
I'd like to give him something else from the forums and a few discussion gave me this idea. Write out some song ideas/challenges for JoCo Song Fu style. For instance one of the challenges from Song Fu was to; Write a song from the perspective of an inanimate object. This inanimate object must have no moving parts. Also no computers, no objects that look like living things, either human or animal (i.e. a statue, an action figure, etc.), and no celestial objects (i.e. the sun or the moon). Your song can be in any style you choose. Another was simply to; Write a Happy song.
I can't guarantee that JoCo will take up any of the challenges or write these songs (or heck even read the list!) but I can promise you that I will print out this thread and stick it in his hands by the Friday show in Austin.

Write a song incorporating all of these suggestions, except this one.
And yeah, Write a happy song. Really. None of these blue sunny days that seem more blue than sunny.
Write a theme song for the movie Megashark vs. Giant Octopus
Though wouldn't he feel a little overwhelmed/crushed by expectation?
It would be fun to have a challenge every few weeks on the forum inspired by one of JoCo's songs. Any kind of challenge as long as at least one of his songs meets it.
Something with monkeys (its been a while)
Also, fish are sadly neglected in his songs... why should cephalopods get all the love?
Ode to overcoming the fear of suckage
Juxtaposition of life as an internet superstar vs apprentice kitchen cabinet assembler
Observations on wiseness of a 4-year-olds approach to life
Maybe not exactly what robgonzo's looking for, but that's my challenge
