TracyB whine whine whine. moan moan moan. blah blah blah.

This challenge is open to all. It runs until Tuesday, July 22 at 6PM EDT . Its purpose is to give people a forum to have their songs heard. There is no judging involved. Everyone who participates is a winner.

This week my co-host is Ally!

PLEASE READ THESE GUIDELINES AND THE THEME DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING

1. Post ONE OR TWO songs that fit the theme. You may post a THIRD one on or after Thursday. You may post a FOURTH song on or after Saturday.

Your song can be a new song or one that was already recorded.

**2. For EACH song you post, listen to at least SIX other people’s songs and leave feedback. That means, if you post 2 songs you should listen to 12 others over the course of the 7 days of the challenge, a little less than 2 a day. If you post 3 songs, listen to 18 others and so on. You may, of course, listen to more if you choose.

Listening is the most important part of this challenge. Supporting and experiencing others is what it’s about.

3. We prefer to listen to the whole song. Try not to listen to the same people every day. Give new people a chance as well.

4. Please do not post glitter or large graphics as feedback or in the thread.

5. You don't need to post a song to listen but you need to listen if you post a song. It's best to post earlier in the challenge. But you can post up until the end. Just be aware that the closing hours of the challenge are better suited to listening than trying to squeeze in a last minute post.

6. Please avoid making multiple posts in a row by going back and editing your posts if you left something out. You have 30 minutes after you post to add to or correct your post by using the EDIT button.

The theme of this challenge is Food, Drink and Gum!

It’s easy enough, your songs can have a food or drink in the title, anywhere in the song, or in the artist. Or, they can be bubblegum songs—more on that to follow.

I’ve found some lists with songs about food and/or drink. (Note that there are some naughty titles in the drink list, which I suppose may repel or attract you. ;)) Of course, most of these won’t be on Snap, but it may inspire you to find something else. Feel free to rewrite lyrics of an existing song to make it fit! Use your imagination! There are songs that are not specifically about a food or drink, but would certainly fit, like “Brandy” or “Sherry”. You get the idea! And I certainly don't mean just alcoholic drinks--any beverage will do!

Songs about food

Songs about drinks

OK, Bubblegum! Here’s a great explanation from Wikipedia: “Bubblegum pop (also known as bubblegum rock, bubblegum music, or simply bubblegum) is a genre of pop music whose classical period ran from 1967 to 1972.[1] The chief characteristics of the genre are that it is pop music contrived and marketed to appeal to pre-teens; is produced in an assembly-line process, driven by producers and using faceless singers; and has an intangible, upbeat "bubblegum" sound.[1] The songs typically have singalong choruses, seemingly childlike themes and a contrived innocence, occasionally combined with an undercurrent of sexual double entendre.[2] They also have a catchy melody, simple chords, simple harmonies, danceable beats, and repetitive riffs or "hooks". The song lyrics often concern romantic love, but are notable for their frequent reference to sugary food, including sugar, honey, jelly and marmalade.[1]”

Wikipedia Bubblegum info

Bubblegum music is a kind of subjective term. The Archies are the epitome of bubblegum. A cartoon band singing a song called “Sugar, Sugar”? Oh, yes! Many aficionados limit the description to the previous paragraph and don’t consider teen idols bubblegum. I’m not going to worry about that so much—a lot could go either way. BUT…not every pop song is bubblegum!!!

Above all, I wanted us to have a fun and light last challenge before summer break, so please, let's all have fun out there!! :D
