Anyway, congratulations to me

ODF, you can host if you want, but since you did it last time you can pass it on to John if you'd like.

[orangedragonfire]

I'll pass it on. John, if you would, present the next challenge, please.

[commodorejohn]

Certainly :) The theme for this round is dating yourself - submit a song from the year you were born! (Bonus no-points if it hit the charts in your birth month!) Please have your entries submitted by the morning of Monday, Jul. 11th, Pacific time!

[LingEarth]

I'm not sure if I know any songs from my birth year.

Does a cover released in the right year still count, if the original was from earlier?

Go look at the charts! You'll see things you recognise. I'd bet the cover would count.

Sure!

[heuristically_alone]

Or a cover that didn't come out that year, but it's a cover of a song from my birth year?

[commodorejohn]

That should be fine too :)

[SuperJedi224]

Sorry I missed the last round, would have liked to enter that one

Not sure what I'll be able to come up with for this one

[LingEarth]

Go look at the charts! You'll see things you recognise.

You underestimate how sheltered my childhood was.

(Yeah, I should be able to find something, though. It's an opportunity to find music I haven't heard before. Thanks for the clarifications about covers, john. )

[somitomi]

Wow, thanks!

I actually had an idea for the next round already: mashups! Send me anything that's two different songs edited together into one cohesive piece of music. Submissions will be enumerated after the 25th of July.

[ratammer]

Does it have to be exactly two songs or can it use more than that? Also, congrats!

[somitomi]

It can be more, but not less. Also, thanks
