🎵 Monthly Song Challenge 🎵

[Wonderer67]

I applaud the enthusiasm but things are going a little off the rails here
The only words that count are the ones that I listed in the post
I counted +4 for this one (sunshine, boat, ocean, vacation)

And +3 for this one (summer, beach, boat/ferry)

I suppose I haven’t been paying enough attention to rein in the chaos…
I might have to do an audit on the points of the winner

Dammit - I been audited!

I am hell to work with. The words audit, governance and compliance are antithetical to my entire existence. (even tho I spent a total of 13 years in the army)

But it’s never done maliciously, so I’ll make sure I’m a little less liberal on summer words.

Oh, wait until you meet me...

I'm pedantic

Annoying as hell at times, but I run a tight fucking ship.

I run a tight fucking ship.

Those are the best kind of ship.

Well you’re an engineer I think. Or a scientist.

I’m an 80/20 guy. As much of an anarchist as I can get away with.

Except for when it comes to my workshop and measuring and fixing things.

I know I’m derailing this thread, but I think you had a procedure. Hope all went well and that your on the mend!

Now back to your regular programming.

I did!

I forgot just how good I've gotten working left handed.

My last surgery took me out for days. This one is nowhere near as bad. I can even move my fingers already

(And I'm an anarchistic physicist)

+1 for a song that uses any of these key words:

Summer, beach, pool, sun (sunny, sunshine, etc), July, boat, ice cream/popsicle, vacation, swim, sand, sandals/flip flops, sweat

Earn +1 from every day (from 70s on since I’m posting this late) and you earn a second song pass!

️ And for those who like an extra challenge, see how many total you can rack up… up to +12 possible per day

As we roll into the final day of decades week—a reminder of the words that can be counted for points

If you are going for the points master prize, please [self audit and] give me a tally of your total points for the week when you post your last song!

Can't blame a guy for trying! The use of "etc" with sun, sunshine, sunny, was key to the inmates running amok...
BTW, what is the record for points in one song?

So I did send this to MLAS earlier today, but it turns out I can navigate my phone okay this evening. The nerd in me even sent her a backup

I keep finding points in the Aussie songs. We sure like to sing about summer...

And I'm kinda digging this emerging country summer love song vibe. It's cute.

Is that a vagina joke?!

More of a grammar joke. Some sentences become a whole lot more interesting when "fucking" is read as an adjective instead of an intensifier.

Once I had a dream
Stuck somewhere in-between
The water and the beach
Oh, both worlds out of reach

 

[curious_slut]

Day 26: A song from the 20s

This summer might be your last
Wrong as rain, but still it came
No more pleasure, no more pain
This summer might be your—

Feels about right with everything happening in the world but I don't think we're there just yet.

Sleigh Bells - This Summer
I know I got at least one point per day and I'm not particularly competitive so I'm just in it for that sweet, sweet second song pass and I got it
