Nich, if it's not too late, don't open my message.

I forgot to strip off your song.

Thanks, I didn't want to go looking for another song, I like this one too much. Which doesn't bode well for my chances, of course.

Now, it should be right. Songs for Nich go to Donk?

Yikes! Just got my song list in on time (deadline is tomorrow).
Looks like 9 #1s from here. Taking that extra time to get it just right should pay off.

You can't rush quality.

Edit: as you will be able to tell from my submissions.

Hopefully I do the first of those things

I didn't know much about your category but I think I picked something decent, maybe!

Is the only reason we don't have a POG Music thread because it would basically shut down walruses?

I'm taking a risk submitting a British song To a Brit, but I love the tune.

As for bloo, I couldn't find a techno-post-neojazz-vapourwave throwback song that I liked, so I tried something from the equally ridiculously named [REDACTED].

Everybody else got an A+ song intended to weed out the philistines.

Speaking of A+ songs, I am really looking forward to the collection that I will receive.

Nich, do we know how many people's submissions we're missing from each thread?

might be worth sending a reminder PM

i've only gotten 10 total pms, so need some from both games; i'll setup the sheet and start processing the pms and then post reminders for who is missing and text those people...hopefully tonight, but maybe tomorrow

if you haven't submitted yet, please do try to get in by tomorrow

We need a new rule for walruses: nobody should be allowed to request "catchy song".
I played a few so I could tell which was the catchiest: the winning song is still playing in my head and that was a week ago!
It's like that killing joke sketch on Monty Python.

There was a short story about a kid named Homer who worked at a donut shop and the jukebox played some song and then you literally couldn’t get it out of your head until you passed it on to someone else. I think they called it an ear worm in the story.
