EVERYONE'S A WINNER 90's CHALLENGE/SHOWCASE THINGY LXXXX

This challenge is open to all. It runs until Tuesday Nov 25 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.

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.

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.

New challenge themes are announced every Tuesday at 6PM EDT.

Hello friends! Me again...

The theme of this challenge is: 90's

Lxxxx = 90!

Things you didn't think about that are important to the number 90!

"...90 is the sum of the squares of the integers 2 to 6. Because 90 is the sum of its unitary divisors (excluding itself), it is a unitary perfect number" Wiki...

The latitude of the North Pole and the South Pole.

90 minute cassette tapes.

Major League baseball bases are 90 feet away in distance.

It also is the length (in minutes) of a soccer(football over here) game.

So you see, '90' figures in a lot of things.

It was also named 'the naughty nineties' decade..

Your task? Post a song recorded (preferably top 100) in the 90's, simple as that! Have fun!

These were one hit wonders in that time:

1. Baby Got Back - Sir Mixx-A-Lott
2. Harvey Danger – Flagpole Sitta
3. Unbelievable - EMF
4. Macarena - Los Del Rio
5. Cotton Eye Joe - Rednex
6. Groove Is In The Heart - Deee-lite
7. Marcy Playground – Sex and Candy
8. B*witched - C'est La Vie
9. Nothing Compares To U - Sinead O'Conner
10. Boom Boom Boom - Outhere Brothers
11. Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) - Baz Luhrmann
12. Do The Bartman - Bart Simpson
13. New Radicals – You Get what you Give
14. Chumbawamba – Tubthumping
15. Lit – My Own Worst Enemy
16. Meredith Brooks – Bitch
17. Natalie Imbruglia – Torn
18. Eagle Eye Cherry – Save Tonight
19. Semisonic – Closing Time

Here's a few lists to look at:
Top 100 Greatest Hits of the 90's
Top 40 Hits of the 90's - Pop
Best Dance - 90's
Best Rock - 90's

Awwww post me a picture of your kangas, I want to see them, put a number 90 on them, nobody will notice :D Or, better still find a herd? Of 90! Actually must be something else to see a rainstorm like that for the first time? And about 10 mins into it start to panic...

You'll need to find a rain song! :D Good to see you!

Oooo lookiesee! These two images:

and See those blue bits with the most rain? On image b in particular... well, I live there, yes, most rainfall in the UK during the 90's, typical! And yes, I was living there then too. Umbrella sales would have had a field day!

Edit: Um, hang on, LOL two a's don't make a b!

Haha, the image is actually called extreme rain... bit like extreme ironing!

EDIT: Okay, explanation, extreme ironing is a British Sport... Bruce, expect to see it in the Olympics when you come over... hur hur hur..

Hello Mike, night Jenny (ooo) Hi Deux... um...

"...Zeitgeist and characterization

The 1990s are generally looked on in a positive light in the world for their economic prosperity and social progression in the realms of feminism, environmentalism, racial equality and technology.

They are viewed negatively in fewer senses, but certain issues, such as a perceived decline in the quality of music and the music industry, a rise in the occurence of youth violence and the first reported school shootings, and especially obscene pop culture unknown in the 1980s.

The 1990s are characterized as a decade by a backlash against the materialism of the 1980s (which by 1997 had largely faded with the return of teen pop and the dot-com boom), fashion that did not evoke strong feelings (such as flannel), a mix of extremely mainstream pop and hip hop and alternative rock and indie music, an obsession with digital technology, and various fads including Power Rangers, Pogs, Pokemon, and snap bracelets. ..." Wiki

Er. Music, yeah, I remember thinking those years were kinda iffy - why maybe we don't have too many songs yet, (chuckles) but there were some great ones too, maybe not on Snap eh? Grrr.

Technology! Yeah! Computers!!! Expensive but bought my first home one in 1996 I think, prior to that I ran my business via an electronic typewriter for a few years... my first computer wasn't huge - and Escom (British cheapy) with wow something like 60mb hard-drive? :D £999 it set me back! My printer - still going but ohhhhh bad - HP 550 colour, one of the first £499 - you can buy a laptop for that these days!!! (edit) I first found the net in 1998... Ohhh I fell in love with the whole world... so much to look at, learn, and now with places like this, interact... best invention ever.

POKEMON ... oh how I fell in love with those little critters, we still have tons of the cuddlies here ... There was a time you could 'liken' yourself to a Pokemon character ... I always wanted to be Skitty LOL. Um (blush) ...

I wonder what was obscene pop culture? Is that possible, sounds like an oxymoron to me... hehehe.

:-) Am I waffling? Mmmmm waffles, actually, I'm, er, not to fond of them... too sweet. Why am I confusing myself?

EDIT: Um, sorry I didn't get to do my song yet... have to try later... much later...

Ooo ^^^ don't drop us in the toilet Roberta! Yikes! And apparently if you strike a match in the bathroom, it will get rid of any unpleasant smells, LOL, it's amazing what you can glean on Google... just... watch your hair! :P

Ohhh actually my first computer was a ZX48k Spectrum and I still have it in the loft, along with all the cassette tape games, manuals, Sinclair User weekly whatever it was called 50 copies... and my old trusty Sharp mono tape/radio recorder thingy which still works and had a trusty typex spot at the point you needed to tune it too to work with the telly and the speccy... now you can get all the retro games to use on your computer heheh. Gotta love it...

But that is pre-90! I digress... ooo song, yes, er, working on it ... :D

The Escom came with a rather large floppy thing 5 1/2" which I never used... pre floppy floppy disk drives, which they no longer install in new builds... I always used to think it wasteful to put small files on cd's.

Dani! Mariah is on that list yes!!!! :D

^^^ HINT ^^^ HINT ^^^ HINT

Tee hee, just making dinner so poking nose in, see new songs... Rick! (edit hi Dream too) heheh Deux? She's not 90! Take it back LOL awwww. I'll be delighted to listen... back soon for a wee while I hope, if not ... later... hungry!!!! Actually just shoving something in oven so back sooner than you think LOL... I have to move this laptop... too tempting... :D

Ovennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn <------------- thataway... fooooooooooooood! :D
