Submission history
New beginnings
- A-Six - Original Long VersionLinkin Park - Instrumental - #8 - 4 points - Not what I would call a typical instrumental, but there are no words here - just vibe. This song sounds like what the early 2000s felt like, and is a great representation of Linkin Park's influence on our culture.
- FancyReba McEntire - This isn't me - #6 - 9 points - I don't hate any particular genre of music, but I'll say that country is generally not my cup of tea. Maybe Florida Georgia Line featuring Nelly, but not "real" country. But while this song actually feels like real country (in tone, content, and tenor), I absolutely love it.

Music Through the Decades
- Wasted On YouMorgan Wallen - The Lost Decade - #7 - 1 points
- I Feel LoveDonna Summer - Time Traveler's Choice - #4 - 8 points - This song came out in 1977, but it would have fit in just as well in the late '90s or early 2000s. It almost reminds me of Madonna's Ray of Light - not because Madonna's jam felt like a throwback, but because songs like this were so far ahead of their time.

- No More TearsOzzy Osbourne - This is Fine - #2 - 5 points
- Vanilla TwilightOwl City - This is Fine - #4 - 3 points
- Rap GodEminem - John Henry - #4 - 4 points - Some of the fastest rapping out there. Not the fastest, but it’s up there.
- Given UpLinkin Park - John Henry - #5 - 3 points - Selected for the lyrics and the 17-second long scream.
- Bohemian Rhapsody - Remastered 2011Queen - Embiggened Language Model - #7 - 1 points - I still have no idea what this song is about, but I'll be damned if I don't sing along to every word whenever it comes on.
- KimEminem - Embiggened Language Model - #8 - 0 points - I had a hard time picking a song that met this prompt. Scanning through my library, I came upon this song and remembered how it was interpreted in so many ways when it came out. At the very least, it's certainly an unusual choice from an artist who was riding high at the time on MTV's TRL with an audience primarily of 12-year old white boys.
- Streets of PhiladelphiaBruce Springsteen - Man vs Machine - #1 - 8 points - The vocal track for the video was recorded live with a hidden microphone, to a pre-recorded instrumental track, as Bruce Springsteen walked the Streets of Philadelphia.
- Everlong - Acoustic VersionFoo Fighters - Man vs Machine - #4 - 5 points
Into the Void
- A Little Something RefreshingNo Doubt - Sweet Leaf - #7 - 7 points - Here's a REALLY deep cut for you all to enjoy. Very literal interpretation of the round description, with the self-indulgence being food.

Beginnings
- Don't SpeakNo Doubt - If At First You Don't Succeed - #3 - 10 points - Tragic Kingdom was No Doubt's third album - following their self titled debut and their independently released Beacon Street Collection. Following middling sales of their debut, the independent release did so well that their label gave them another shot, and we know the rest.

Hey DJ!
- (I Can't Get No) SatisfactionBritney Spears - Cover Me Badly - #2 - 17 points - I always hated this cover. Love me some Britney, but I don’t think she understood the Stones version at all when she sang their words.
- Fuck YouCeeLo Green - $@#?! - #10 - 3 points
- Sadie Hawkins DanceRelient K - The Big Ask - #6 - 6 points - Okay, okay, we all know that Sadies is the reverse of prom in so many ways. But this song really spoke to me for this prompt nonetheless.
- KimnotyzeDJ Tomekk, Lil' Kim, Trooper Da Don - Tongue Twists - #11 - 3 points - When I did an exchange program to Germany in high school, this song was massive at the clubs. Still don't understand how Lil Kim rapping in German over a Notorious BIG track didn't land in the US.
- I Need You TonightBackstreet Boys - Guilty Pleasures - #9 - 3 points
Change of Pace
- (You Drive Me) Crazy - The Stop Remix!Britney Spears - Stop, Wait a Minute - #5 - 9 points - You all probably thought I wouldn’t really pick this. But I did. The “stop” and record scratch made the entire remix work. Plus Melissa Joan Hart in the music video.
- How Bad Do U Want MeLady Gaga - Better-than-Okay Boomer - #5 - 10 points - Poker Face came out in 2008!
- Want You BadThe Offspring - Not Horny Enough - #7 - 7 points - Want You Horny
- The Impression That I GetThe Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Horn-y - #3 - 14 points
- Love Who Loves You BackTokio Hotel - Old Enough! はじめてのおつかい - #10 - 4 points - Maybe not right on the nose for the category, but Tokio Hotel was a bit of a teen idol / boy band before they took a little time off and re-emerged with this album.
- Want You BackMandy Moore - Good Riddance but also I Need You Back - #8 - 3 points
Movie Music Magic
- Your Song - From "Moulin Rouge" SoundtrackEwan McGregor, Alessandro Safina - Favorite song sung by a character in a non animated movie - #11 - 5 points - I'm just going to go ahead and use Moulin Rouge again. Such a great movie.

- SatisfiedRenée Elise Goldsberry, Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton - Favorite song from a non-animated movie musical - #8 - 7 points - Does it count if it’s just a recording of the musical? Don’t care, song too good.
- In the House - In a HeartbeatJohn Murphy - Thriller - a song from a movie that gives you the chills - #3 - 11 points - Theme from 28 Days Later

Lady Chatterwhistle's Gossip-Drama League
- i like the way you kiss meArtemas - Drama, Actually... and Tease (Epilogue and Cliffhanger) - #6 - 4 points - Our protagonist is done with the drama and wants to live in the moment. No feels, no regrets.
- SorryBeyoncé - Bad Habit (the Nun's Tale) - #7 - 2 points - She toyed with the idea of forgiveness, but decided to respect herself and do what’s best for her. No, she’s not sorry.
- Handle MeRobyn - Bondage and Duty (the Queen's Tale) - #9 - 3 points
- Better TogetherJack Johnson - Bedroom Experiment (The Scientist's Tale) - #6 - 2 points - Love is the answer, at least for most of the questions in my heart. Like, why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it's so hard? It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving. I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together.
- The Girl and the RobotRöyksopp - Grasping and Heaving (Story Goals) - #3 - 8 points - Our main character is unsatisfied with their romantic relationship. They wait around to be met half way, but always seem to be a low priority. They want more. Maybe they can find fulfillment in their job or with their friends. Maybe they need to leave their significant other. Maybe they want to plug into a neural network and become AI. No matter what, they need change.
- Your Song - From "Moulin Rouge" SoundtrackEwan McGregor, Alessandro Safina - Throbbing Attraction (Character) - #4 - 4 points - He doesn't have much, but he has poetry and sincerity and love. This young gentleman wants the world for the cost of a song, and he'll get it. Can the young lady of his dreams resist? Only if her heart is made of stone.
- Confessions Part IIUSHER - Play Submission (Setting) - #6 - 0 points - Usher really put his whole situation out there to the world with this album.
