Submission history

New beginnings

Wipe OutThe Surfaris - Instrumental - #4 - 10 points - I always liked this on road trips growing up. The road trips were usually down California's Central Valley, so there were no waves. But this song almost made me think I was on the coast, as long as I could block out the smell of cow manure.
Suga SugaBaby Bash, Frankie J - This isn't me - #10 - 5 points - I'm not generally a big r&b fan but this one speaks to me personally.
TiK ToKKesha - Rediscovered - #6 - 6 points - I heard some of Kesha's new songs it reminded me of how much I liked Tik Tok.

Look What You Made Me DoTaylor Swift - This is Fine - #3 - 4 points - As Agent Smith said, the Matrix had to capture the peak of human civilization to make it believable to the humans. It had to capture human's misery and suffering. I believe that the machine overlords would choose a Taylor Swift revenge track because T.Swift vs. Kimye is the peak of modern civilization.

Things Can Only Get BetterHoward Jones - Drama, Actually... and Tease (Epilogue and Cliffhanger) - #3 - 8 points - As everybody looks to the end of Thatherite London, they know that things can only get better.
Born and Raised in Black and WhiteThe Highwaymen, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson - Bad Habit (the Nun's Tale) - #4 - 7 points - Sometimes, it felt like she was two people torn between her religious vows and her career as an assassin. Hopefully, the right side would win out.

Jack SparrowThe Lonely Island, Michael Bolton - Throbbing Attraction (Character) - #3 - 5 points - A remnant of Britain's pirate past steps onto the East End docks and immediately finds himself in the middle of London's 80s club scene.

We Used To Be FriendsThe Dandy Warhols - Play Submission (Setting) - #3 - 6 points - A group of high school friends come back for their 20th high school in the gym. Many of them lost touch, some of them didn't. What drama will happen tonight, which flames will be rekindled, or grudges dredged up?
