CHORUS
‘Cause henny now you got bad blood
You know you should’ve just wrapped up
Before you came in his bum
‘Cause henny now you got bad blood
Hey
Should’ve worn a condom
Before you put it in my bottom
Shouldn’t have swallowed that cum
‘Cause henny now you got bad blood
Hey
VERSE 1
Did you have to pass this? I was thinking that you were just tested
Did you have to trick me? Said you were negative when you were infested
Did you have to message, when I was thirsty? Hunty, I couldn't think.
And you came in so deep, right into an open wound, now I'm a spotted pink.
PRE-CHORUS
Oh, it’s so sad to think about the clean days, careless gays
CHORUS
‘Cause henny now you got bad blood
You know you should’ve just wrapped up
Before you came in his bum
‘Cause henny now you got bad blood
Hey
Should’ve worn a condom
Before you put it in my bottom
Shouldn’t have swallowed that cum
‘Cause henny now you got bad blood
Hey
VERSE 2
Did you think he was clean? This kinda sick tastes like defeat
Why did you go bareback? This disease, it lasts and it lasts
Now did you think this all through? Someone else will catch AIDS too
The clap can heal, but AIDS won’t, so if you’re thinking bareback, just don’t
PRE-CHORUS
Oh, it’s so sad to think about the clean days, careless gays
CHORUS
‘Cause henny now you got bad blood
You know you should’ve just wrapped up
Before you came in his bum
‘Cause henny now you got bad blood
Hey
Should’ve worn a condom
Before you put it in my bottom
Shouldn’t have swallowed that cum
‘Cause henny now you got bad blood
Hey
BRIDGE
Condoms save you from disease
That will hurt when you go pee
You went bareback, now pay the fee
When you’re going down below
Wrap it up before you go
You put one on, or it’s a no
If you go bareback, you won’t be clean!
CHORUS
‘Cause henny now you got bad blood
You know you should’ve just wrapped up
Before you came in his bum
‘Cause henny now you got bad blood
Hey
Should’ve worn a condom
Before you put it in my bottom
Shouldn’t have swallowed that cum
‘Cause henny now you got bad blood
Hey

One of your group members will PM the entire song to me, but I want each of you to send me a brief message detailing what you contributed.
Okay, so I created the Google Doc, came up with the idea for everyone to use color guide.
the iconic line "cuz henny now you got bad blood" is mine, as well as some other parts
I also worked with other members to help them with their lines
After finding out the challenge I knew what I wanted to do. I quickly asserted myself the shadowy figure in the back (a prettier Dick Cheney tea) who calls the real shots. I lead the discussion early on, coming up with a few ideas, before I SOLELY came up with the concept of a Bad Blood parody, hell even being the one daring enough to suggest a parody was all me.
I wrote roughly 70% of the first verse but take all credit if you enjoy our song. You don't expect an architect to lay every (any) of the bricks to a house. You shouldn't expect a Queen to get dirty and work with those below her.

I helped create the concept for my team's song by saying we should base it off pop culture. I also gave lots of feedback, offered to use an instrumental I made myself before we came up with the Bad Blood concept and wrote a few lines ("Shouldn't have swallowed that spunk" and "Oh, it's so sad to, think about the good days, careless gays" are two of them).

We worked on our song in Google Doc and all of our contributions were written in a different colour; mine were purple.
My main contributions were tweaks or adjustments to things that were already written, if I'm honest. I didn't want to step on anybody's toes but I did want to try to make the best out of what was there, so if I saw something that I didn't feel fit the flow or rhyme scheme of the song, I suggested an alternate way to get the same message across that sounded better. This was mainly in the chorus and bridge, with the third and sixth lines. I also suggested using something other than "Hey!" in the chorus. However I also wrote some stuff, like the first two lines of Verse 1 which is practically all me. I also came up with the first line in Verse 2, so I was essentially the one who helped get the verses off on the right path. Everyone worked really well though and I think the team effort shows in the finished product.
Team 2

[Verse 1]
Three days have passed of running on caffeine
The walls are glossed with a surgical sheen
Only kept alive on a cocktail of drugs,
A victim of a body against its blood
We said we'd see the world together,
We thought that we would run forever,
We lived in laughter and sunlight beams,
But nothing, nothing is ever as it seems
[Chorus]
Good night, my beautiful dreamer
Hold me until our tears run dry,
We'll never have a last goodbye
[Verse 2]
The silence of not knowing what to do,
This could have ended with a rubber, too
Results and a test make one aware
Of the price of a night without a care
Your life won't be resigned to photographs,
I'll journey with you 'til I breathe my last.
I'm sorry you couldn't live your life free,
But thank you, thank you for loving me.
[Chorus]
Good night, my beautiful dreamer
Hold me until our tears run dry,
We'll never have a last goodbye
[Bridge]
Boy meets boy in once upon a time,
But no fairy tale ending will console
A dagger to the heart, one thousandfold.
No pain compares to a life cut in its prime.
[Chorus]
Good night, my beautiful dreamer
Hold me until our tears run dry,
We'll never have a last goodbye

In Challenge 2, I wrote the entirety of Team 2's final entry, "Beautiful Dreamer", and edited it with feedback from other members of the team.
I started communication among the team, sending a PM to all six members with a summary of the challenge and a request for reponses. DevonRoars and DivaDown were the only ones to respond within two days, so we decided to each write our own songs and choose the best one among us to submit. After reviewing our songs and editing my initial draft, the three of us chose "Beautiful Dreamer".
I then reached out again to the rest of the team through PM and asked their opinion on "Beautiful Dreamer". Wesleywalrus had been on vacation, HausofJustin had been busy with work and killer_rose had read the original PM I sent to the team, but didn't know I requested responses. After further discussion and feedback, the six of us reached a majority consensus to submit "Beautiful Dreamer".

Hi there, dear Citrus!
My contribution to the team challenge this week was not really big since I thought that the communication between some of the team members were kinda poor. There was a snapchat room created in the beginning that was gonna be used, but unfortunately all the times I entered the chatroom it was only me and no one else. The main communication in the challenge was between Moonchild & DivaDown. I haven't received any messages from anybody else and what Moonchild sent me was the already written song that I couldn't do anything but agree with and approve (even though I was kinda torn about the direction). I though the final song our team sent is great but I would have loved if we all had a part of it. I asked questions about the working process in the beginning that no one answered. I guess, for now it's just a battle for the spotlight so the mistake might be mine. I hope you like the song!

The song I wrote for our team. It wasn't used because, ultimately, DevonRoars, Moonchild & I agreed we should take a more serious route, so we used Moonchild's song. I had Moonchild edit his song a couple times to include (subtly) references to safe sex. Tbh, DevonRoars, Moonchild & I did most the work. The others didn't pop up until the end which pissed me off. But ultimately, thru our awesome work, DevonRoars, Moonchild and I had 3 songs.
Here's my parody:
"Dirrrty" (notice 3 r's)
(Set to the tune of "Dirrty")
By: DivaDown
If you ain't horny, you ain't here to orgyyyyyyyyy
Ladies (use), Gentlemen (use)
Somebody ring the alarm, let's make this epidemic LOSE!
To your partner... let's roll it right on (repeat)
Uh... Let it loose
IF... you wanna screw, I'm horny too, throbbin' jewel.
Listen up! The point's tough, me and you need have this talk.
If you want this, I'm not shy.
It starts with an 'H', the next is 'I'.
Then it is the letter 'V'.
The topic is HIV.
It's exploding, stigma is rising.
Still screwing bareback is not cool.
If it's a hookup, stop it you fool.
No questions, time for some action.
Stickin' it in (unprotected),
Won't feel too good,
If you're figh-ting for you life 'cuz of one night
Chorus:
I'm gonna get, rowdy
Plenty of contraceptives, USE THEM!
Truvada, Spermicides... CONDOMS!
Do not get dirrrty.
It's about time this plague will start to, die down
Breaking stigmas, starting NOW.
LGBT, gather 'round!
Wanna get flirty?
It's about time to start usin' our minds.
Ahhh, tension's up.
Then he starts to feel you up.
If you are positive, be so wise.
Be forthcoming, that'd be nice.
Oral pleasure (dental dams)
Anal thrusting (play it smart).
If you need that dick to get ya off,
Roll that rubber down his shaft.
It is funner, when you are a-strokin',
Then ridin' till 6 in the mornin'
With protection, everyone's talikin'.
Give them all you got (all that knowledge), to protect your health.
Don't be figh-ting for you life 'cuz of one night
[Chorus]
Put it on, get it up, yup that's what's up.
Push it in, give him love to the maximum.
When he cums, know you did the safety dance.
Uh oh, he wants more?
Now he wants to bottom for the very first time.
Safe sex turned him on, that's the stuff.
Knowledge is power & now you're in control.
Uh oh, here you go
OOOooOOoOoOOoOoooooOoOOoooohhhh YEAH!
[Rap:]
Yo, hot man, my **** jizzed like a summer ho.
In my car lookin' fogged up cuz of dome.
My gear stick look like a bank's brand new quarter roll.
Just like presidents before, I pimp like Boy George.
Any that excite ya divas (HOE!)
Variety of choice
Like ribbed or super thin
Yo sexy man, better hop on this
My **** alive & wrapped, to play it smart (YEAH!)
The club was packed, but I chose you
I was waiting to **** and I'm glad I did
It's wrapped up to stay safe
I dive on all four to feel that foreign feel
Bone it up!
Baby, it's Dick City, you know 'bout that.
We blessed to be pleased for all the ways
To hit it without gettin' it, POW!
I'm anti-HIV, the way I'm freaking!
[Chorus 3x]

I first saw him in the parking lot of Mickey D’s
He was lookin’ so fine and sippin’ on a sweet tea
I thought love at first sight was a myth.
But I knew this was love…. or something like it.
He offered me some fries and a moment of his time
I could feel my knees get weaker every minute that went by
We talked until the street lights came on.
Then he asked if he could take me home...
PRE-CHORUS
It must have been the sugar in the sweet teeea
It must have been the words that he whispered to me
Might have bumped my head getting in the back seeeat
But next thing I knew, he took my anal virginity
CHORUS
It’s not worth playing with the hands of fate
So from now on all my sex is gonna be safe
I’ll get on PrEP, take it every day
Always use latex (except for a bj)
Before you come over and come in me
You gotta get tested for HIV
You only get one life; you gotta care for it
So get tested, get protected, then go on and get it!
(Go on and get iiitttt, yeah go on and get iiitttt; get that sweet tea, get that sweet d)
VERSE 2
Now I’m at the clinic with Grindr boys and pregnant girls
Biting on my nails and clutching on my pearls
It was just one night, just one stupid mistake
Wish I never saw his cake, cake, cake, cake
Prraying to Jesus, Mary, and Carrie Messiah
That I haven’t been burned by my searing desire
Shangela said “when it comes to your status - know it!”
But on my very first time, I already blow it
Pre-Chorus
So don’t talk to strangers when you’re thirstyyy
And don’t get distracted by a big ddddd
And if can’t control it when you’re hornyyy
Just make sure you take your PrEP every morning!
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE (RAP)
Imagine a world without S-T-Ds
Like Syphillis, AIDS or H-I-V
Herpes and genital warts ain’t cute nor drop dead gor-geous
So wouldn't you rather be, worry-free?
So when you're on Scruff looking for a quick f***
Think about the long term effect
Don’t bareback, don’t bareback
Just because he’s erect
Don’t bareback, don’t leave it up to luck
Make sure you don’t do something you’ll regret
REPEAT CHORUS

Final entry will be on its way shortly, just working out some kinks with the team!
As for the contributions, feelslikeadream and I probably did the most work...while I do not have a music background, I was actively working with feelslikeadream on the assignment throughout the week...mxtthewdelrey contributed consistently as well.
feelslikeadream did most of the songwriting, mxtthewdelrey contributed lyrics but his version was not used, however we did incorporate his lyrics into the bridge, which I edited and used in the final version.
Fefe also did the music production for the song, as well as verse vocals, while I applied (horrible) vocals to the bridge. I did the artwork and formatted the entire post you will receive for the final submission.
HausofNiko did the (spoiler alert) lyric video for the submission.
MimiLamb and Bey_RihStan did not contribute much at all and were given multiple opportunities to redeem themselves and do work but did not comply.
MimiLamb however did suggest adding a rap to the song (which we made the bridge into a rap), however Mimi was not willing to provide vocals or even write it for that matter.
Sorry the post is a mess...I need sleep.

Hey Citrus,
Everything is ready for our group except for ONE thing (Niko's working on it) but I'll be busy all day tomorrow, so YSL is going to send it to you instead and I'm just sending you my breakdown of what I contributed now.
What I did:
- I wrote most of the lyrics (verses, chorus, and pre-choruses) and helped tweak the bridge (with MXTTHEW and YSL writing the majority of the bridge). (So if the song's bad, it's kinda my fault )
- I came up with the guitar chords/melody.
- I recorded guitar and vocals on the track. Sorry if my vocal performance is so powerful it leaves you in tears
- I mixed/produced the track in GarageBand (adding a beat, mixing in YSL's rap) to create the mp3 file.
Although we didn't have a team leader per se, it was mostly me, MXTTHEW, YSL, and Niko discussing our strategy/song ideas in the Google Doc. I reached out to every team member to see how they could contribute, though it didn't always work out.

The song was very much a team effort between four of us - we weren't quite sure what happened to the other two for most of the duration of the challenge!
Three of us (me, Feelslikeadream and YSL) wrote the song as a collaborative effort with each other. I personally contributed a lot of the lyrics and music towards the bridge of the song. We were in constant group discussion all week on a Google Docs letting people know what we thought and giving people advice, changing ideas and coming up with new and fun lyrics. HausofNiko and YSL also kindly took a lot of time to use their skills for the extra visual elements to our song.
I've had a brilliant week conferring with these three members and we've finished a song that we are really happy and proud of - everyone who turned up has contributed so well together and I couldn't have asked for a better and lovelier team.
Thanks Citrus!
