Plenty of folks just do whatever song from the decade they like without worrying about the challenge. It's optional.

How are you ruling singular/plurals? Would "trees" count? "Lady"?

14. A Song from the 60s

Making up my own theme. I just don’t know lyrics and I’m too busy to look it up.

My theme is the lower east side of Manhattan.

What better way to start it out than this musical freak show, The Fugs. This is totally psychotic! in a good way.

Although the members were from all over the place, they were all countercultural lower East siders.

The Fugs - I Couldn’t Get High (1968)

A Song from the 70s
Theme: NYC. Inspired by seeing Jesse Malin Saturday night who was a denizen of the lower east side scene with his bands Heart Attack and D-Generation.

I don’t think any of the members of the dolls were from the lower side, but they played all the lower Eastside joints: MAx’s, Chrystie Street and the Victory Theater. There are best known for playing the Mercer arts Center before it collapsed, killing four.

NYC was a warzone at the time. It had gone bankrupt, the government was basically not working, crime was terrible, urban decay was everywhere…

New York Dolls - Bad Girl

 

[MrMakersMark]

A 70s tune!
