Nick - what do you think about moving your theme (No.476) up the order - we've done a) and b) rounds before? We've got six months of themes before 476 and that means you could have to add quite a few tracks. On the other hand, it gives Grimmy a chance to add to his solitary spoon and Sj to earn his first. it's up to you.

Cool, I'll move it up a few places.

Theme 454 - "Hall of Shame" - "stalker" songs e.g. the creepy "always watching you" sort and the "I'll get you and keep you, whatever you want" sort. Reversing the usual idea, so vote for the worst offender. - Isabella
Theme 455 - "I ??... 1987. " Songs from your favourite albums of '87. (Singles released either side of said year are fine) - Collette.
Theme 456 - "Wot No Royalties?!" - Music released by artists/bands/musicians copyright free. - Das Duke
Theme 457 - “A kiss is just a kiss” - Songs with kiss, kisses, kissed or kissing in the title. - KJS
Theme 458 - Theme 458 - "Do Wah Diddy Diddy Dum Diddy Don't" - Song titles containing either (or both) of the words "do" or "don't" - Helen
Theme 459 - "Old fogeys club" - The oldest song you like. No classical music but pastorals, madrigals and even hymns if you want, but recognisably a song. Not the oldest song you know, but the oldest song you like. I mean that could be something from the 1880's or 1980's :) - Sera
Theme 460 - Wildcard Round 20
Theme 461 - A whiter shade of pale? No primary colours (including yellow) allowed; let's be having your teals, lilacs, tangerines, etc. in the title or artist - Val

Theme 462 - "I Am The God Of Hellfire....And I Bring You....FIRE!" - Song Titles containing Incendiary words, but no firefighter or fire extinguishing words, cos tonight we're burning baby burning! - Thermal Duklear Explosion :)
Theme 463 - Son of The paper bit in the middle - a second round of selections from favourite record labels. Same rules as before - Tim
Theme 464 - "What's playing" - Literally the last two songs you heard before nominating. I'm sure we all have our playlists on repeat or Spotify on shuffle, perhaps the office radio... But the whatever those last two songs were, nominate them ! No cheating to be cool ;) - Sera

Theme 472 - I write the songs - pick two songs by THE SAME songwriter (can be in collaboration with others) and can be sung by the songwriter or another artist.

Slightly confused Tim, so songs you like then? Oddly enough I had a similar idea for a theme, songs you like by artists that you don't. Is this what you're going for here?

Not exactly. Just what it says on the tin. Pick two songs you'd not listen to by choice; either because you dislike them or because a music genre holds no interest. If the idea is a bit confusing I'll withdraw it, but if a person likes a song by an artist they normally hate, it goes that they'd listen to that one song by choice.

Putting my nom in at 476 as it appears to be free.
