Okay y'all. Super duper quick post to get the Music Monday Contest going. Because I'm, you guessed it....working on overnight packages again. Sigh.
And my internet is still working whenever it feels like it so I have no idea if I would be able to write an actual post and get it to work from home tonight. Sigh.
So this is all you get today:
Unless you live under a rock, you are probably aware that the Olympics are going on in London right now. I'm going to make this week's theme a tiny bit tougher than last week's. The song(s) you submit must contain in the title the name of a city which has hosted the Olympics. They have to have already hosted so you can't use Rio de Janiero, Brazil or Pyeongchang, South Korea because those are future sites. Isn't that terrible? Because there are TONS of songs with Pyeongchang right in the title. And now you can't submit those.
As a little help, here is a link to the list of Olympic Games host cities.
Let's see what y'all can come up with! Trust me, there are a lot of songs that fit this theme. I know because I don't have time to come up with a theme this week so I'm totally stealing our theme from Friday Afternoon Song and I won first and third place.
I left my heart in san francisco I didn't wade through the whole list of sites, but I think the olympics were there once
ReplyDeleteKristine, I love that song but San Francisco has not hosted the Olympics before. :-( L.A. has hosted twice though!
DeleteAtlanta, GA by Shawty Lo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz5ha2SwiGU
ReplyDeleteI have a teenage daughter who LOVES hip hop......that hopefully explains my knowing that this song even exists :0 Somehow I don't think I am in the target market Shawty had in mind :)
Yay!!!! Here's one of my favorites that is bound to be a winner.
