Ends Wednesday 20 January 2016, 8.00 pm EST
International posters can check the current local (Sydney) time here:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock
Select a song from YouTube (or another video site) which relates to the chosen theme via the song's title and/or lyrics. Post the title and the artist's name along with the URL link to your chosen video. If the theme is taken from the lyrics, post the relevant section of the lyrics.
NO EMBEDDED VIDEOS OR IMAGES PLEASE This is to accomodate those on slow or mobile internet connections. Any embedded videos entered will be deemed invalid.
The poster of the video which has received the most kudos at the end wins the challenge. The winner chooses the next theme, starts a new thread, hosts it, and declares the eventual new winner with the most kudos, with the winning entry post number and song details.
If a winner of a theme does not claim the win for whatever reason after 24 hours, the host can nominate a new winner, the next in line, second best scorer... the same guides apply for ties, if the next in line are tied.
In the event of a tie, the host can choose a winner e.g. which entry he/she favours, earliest entry, or which best suits the theme, etc.
If a duplicate version of a song (even if with a different video URL link) happens to be posted in error, the earliest post takes precedence.
As a winner, you can copy and paste this head info post into the new thread (Remember to update the end date and time!...) In this way the challenge threads can be self running (no other prizes, sorry...)
All are welcome to take part, even if you don't post a video yourself - just kudo the posted videos you like. If you are technically challenged and don't know how to post a video link (don't worry, you will not be the first), just ask, and someone will guide you along.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I polish and I clean, then read a magazine
Tomorrow he will be sweet and kind to me
He'll love me - until he works late again...

Well, I selected a terrible theme.....not a lot of songs on the subject. However........
I-once-was-bump with Splish Splash was the first entry with 4 kudos, so I have selected that as the winner.
Over to you "bump".

congrats bump, easiest way is to put your theme choice in search to see if it has already been done
example: "theme clean"
