Excellent, is this songs/jingles made for commercials? Or is it specifically songs that existed prior to commercial use but were used for a commercial of some kind? Or is it either?

This is what I have in mind. But make sure to submit the whole song, and not just the commercial that only has 30 seconds of the song.

We're still seeing some new names on the list of voters, so that's cool.

The randomizer isn't working so well on the weekends as all of 2P2 takes the weekend off, and not just POG, so we'll randomize the whole thing in one post.

Doctor Zeus will face Deli_ in the next battle.

The category is Deep Voice.

The singer should have a deep voice. That simple. It doesn't have to be super deep like Barry White, but you definitely don't want to submit a song by Barry Gibb.

No falsettos allowed in this category!

Deli has defended the throne 7 times. Let's see if 8 times is in the cards.

0 Birdman
1 Carl
2 Ervin
3 Bloo
4 bsball
5 Donk
6 Eric
7 eb
8 Gad
9 Karma

The preceding digit of this post (the 2nd to last) will determine the category.

Deli_ vs birdman

The category is Song from a film

Beyond the obvious, that it should be a song that appeared in a movie, this should be a song that is identified with a movie.

Something like 'Layla' by Eric Clapton (Goodfellas) or 'Stuck in the Middle With You' by Stealers Wheel (Reservoir Dogs).

Good luck!

Can anyone de-throne Deli? I honestly doubt it. But let's find out!

The last digit determines the challenger.

0/1 - Ervin
2/3 - Zeus
4/5 - Eric
6/7 - eb
8/9 - Karma

The preceding digit (the ten's digit) determines the category.

Deli vs Karma

The category is Trios.

This one is pretty straightforward. The song should be performed by a musical act that is a trio of musicians. So nothing from the Four Tops. That would be one too many.

I've sent mine.

If I win - the next challenge will have to go on hold. I have no access to internet between Wednesday 11th and Monday 16th August.

Deli vs EB!

The category is Multiple Vocalists

This means the song should have 2 or more singers who each get a chance to take the lead on the microphone. If it's a lead singer and everyone else is just singing backup, that won't qualify. Or if it's a group of several singers all singing at the same time, that won't qualify either.

Here's a song that totally qualifies.

Good luck!

Don't really have anything in mind as of right now, but I'll think of something.

Multiple vocalists would not have been my first choice, but glad to avoid the minefields of categories 1, 8, and 9.

Haven’t been looking at the category list but now hoping I survive this round and/or make it into the poetry one because I know exactly what I would submit.

eb is the new Walrus King! Who will challenge eb for the throne? What will the category be? I hope it's poetry!

0-16 Carl
16-31 Zeus
32-47 Karma
48-63 Eric
64-79 Gad
80-99 Donk

I gave Donk a better chance because he hasn't played yet.

The category will be determined by the 3rd digit from the end. So if the post ends in 821, I'm looking at the 8.

I'll randomize the category now and figure out the next challenger later. The randomizer doesn't work real well at this time of the day, particularly on a weekend, when there's not a whole lot of 2P2 activity.

Our challengers will be chosen from a field of:

Ervin
borninabin
Carl
Donk
Eric
Shad_
Deli_
Dizzy
Gad
Karma

I'll also be weighing the randomizer against Deli and Karma, who have both recently participated. But both of them will have a shot.

Everyone can take the next several minutes (or few hours) to try to figure out what "Forgotten" could possibly mean.
