Musical Scavenger Hunt 4

International

Let's play some more!

Those who have nice sized music collections might have fun doing this. The job is to find songs that fit at least 15 of the categories below and put them on a CD. Don't repeat a category (unless you want to make a second CD, of course). You must use at least 15 different categories for this (although you're always welcome to make another CD and repeat categories from the first one!). You can use more than 15 categories on a CD, but you have to use at least that many.

Make sure to let your partner know which category each song fits into! And please do let them know the artist and title of the song, just in case they love it enough to want more! You'll have two partners for this, and it's international since CDs aren't that expensive to send even internationally.

The categories are:

1 A song under two minutes
2 A song with a form of transportation in the title
3 A song with some form of punctuation in the title
4 A song that mentions a country other than your own
5 A song that mentions time in some way
6 A song about wealth and/or privilege
7 A song about poverty/lower economic status
8 A song that contains bad grammar (whichever language you choose)
9 Any artist’s first hit
10 A song you like in a genre you don’t
11 A track from a comedic actor’s/singer’s CD
12 Song with one of the four elements in its title in some form
13 A song that tells a story
14 A song from your favourite movie
15 A dark song (your interpretation)
16 A song about a cause that’s special to you
17 A song written for one genre that is translated to another
18 An Irish drinking song
19 A song about work
20 A song that mentions some cosmic entity (moon, star, comet, etc)
21 A song over five minutes
22 Song that mentions one of the US states
23 Song that mentions a month
24 Song that mentions distance in some way, vaguely or specifically (near/far, etc)
25 Song mentioning royalty of some kind, real or not (eg. “Queen of Memphis�)

If you can, it would be nice if people try to explain why they chose certain songs for each category. It's not required, but it'd be nice!

Just so people know, copying tracks off of iTunes in MP3 format can sometimes make it difficult for things to be heard in certain stereos. I've found that this happens sometimes with me and it doesn't with others, so I thought I'd just warn you that if you do that, your partner might not get to hear the music!

Rules

1 Rating of 4.5 or better, with no more than one no send in six months. Go ahead and message me if you’ve been rated unfairly at any point or have a good reason for your lower rating or the no sends, and we’ll talk. I’m certainly open to listening.

2 Newbies allowed, but fill out your profiles. Do this before the final sign-up day, because I like to assign partners as early as I can.

3 Communication is key. If you’re going to be late with the swap, let your partner know. If your partner tells you he/she is going to be late, and keeps up the communication, give him/her a break. Sometimes things come up that just can’t be helped.

4 I reserve the right to ban anyone that I think might be a problem. This means people that I've noticed have a history of rating unfairly, nastiness, etc. I believe in playing nice.
