The copyright of this time's rules are belong to Vel, but as he is somewhere away, he bribed me to post them here. Here goes:
We all know the bridal march, but there isnt a divorce one. Write a tune for a divorce/breakup. It can be anything from a church organ-driven piece to something like Uriah Heep's sweet freedom. The only limitation is that one of the leading instruments has to be an organ - be it hammond, pipe, church or reed.
And I by no means encourage you to pipe it down ;)
(omgverybadpun ¬¬ and yes, it was mine.)
Wheeee, I won!
Thanks for posting the rules, TK, and greetings to all from the bulgarian seaside.
I'll be back in a few days. Meanwhile, happy composing to all people entering.
Here's my divorce march... Well acually it's just a twisted version of the bridal march. my first plan was to do the Bridal march backwards but I found this more intressting 8)

You and everybody else no doubt, me included!
And then I too changed my mind and made something that resembles, without being completely similar. http://www.achtungfranz.com/ghor_divorce.ogg
Edit:
As an added bonus: the actual wedding march... backwards... in C64 SID format... and WAY TOO FAST!! http://www.achtungfranz.com/DIVORCEATRON-2000.ogg
Nice entries so far, anyone else entering?
Ok. Now this might not be your idea of a divorce march. I tried to make something that's a mix of feelings. On one hand, you're now a free person again! ...On the other a long relationship just ended. And all mixed into something rhythmic. And there's an organ in there too. even after the intro. (the "piano" is actually an organ originally, but I edited the sample as the original sound just didn't fit in any way.)
I'm quite positive I stole this rhythm from somewhere, but I don't know from where. Tell me if it is... Or it could be like that other song I made, everyone recognizes it, but nobody knows where they've heard it before or what it's called. Or it could just be weird.

Just letting you know that I'll extend this competition for a day or two for anyone who wants to enter.
Here it is. (http://home.bip.net/erik.igelstrom/agsf/eldkatt-divorce.ogg)
It's, er... a happy divorce. The irony didn't come out as well as I hoped, so now it's a blatantly triumphant little thing instead of a mildly ironic divorce thing. But meh. It was fun.
It seems to me that no-one else will enter this time, so it's high time I announced the winner.
And the winner is....
Ghormak, since his tune most suited the theme. Congratulations.
