I think a "first song you ever bought" theme would be good. |

I'd have spent more time picking a cover rather than the first thing I found on YouTube if I'd have known Craster was too busy buried nuts deep in a badger to run his own damn competition. |

 And here are your themes for week 4: A Fruit B "Crimes against Music. You need to pick, and people will be voting for, the most appalling track you can possibly scrape from the bottom of the Music barrel. Songs can range from novelty acts to one hit wonders to ill advised duets, anything really. Two restrictions arise: 1 - The song must have actually been released by a record label. You cannot therefore pick a song that Katie Brand sung on her TV show, or 3 minutes of noises. 2 - The primary language of the song must be english, to prevent everyone picking croation techno folk." C 'Inappropriate' D 'Angry' E Your favourite track of the 80s F songs about animals |

'Inappropriate'? Corking suggestion; will certainly make me think. Of course, if I find a very inappropriate song, then it would be appropriate for the group, and hence fail the criteria? OH NOES! A PARADOX! |

Also, inappropriate for who/what/where/how? Inappropriate doesn't work without context. Angry, fruit, and animals, I can sort of get along with. |

If people don't submit a song for the 'worst song ever' themed round, do you have to pick a really good song so it will lose? If so, would you like someone else to pick it for you?

Says Mr "I'll wait until the last day and not submit a song until I get a reminder". Although, to be fair, that applies to most people. |

Not a criticism at all, but I do find it confusing that one week is still running and I have to submit the next week before seeing the results of the last one, and then themes have already been picked for the week after. I'll get it worked out the week after I'm eliminated. |
