I was just surprised one of those “I didn’t know that was a cover” songs. There were a ton of money songs though. YouTube had. Whole playlist across multiple genres.

I can’t decide is I like the Spinal Tap version or the Thamesman version better. Remind me which one had a drummer die in a gardening accident?

Best leave that…unsolved, really.
Difficult vote - knew most of the suggestions, also didn’t care for a lot of them. Two I didn’t know and also didn’t dislike, picked one I liked better.
Theme suggestions (disclosure, I have ideas for a couple of these but might change my mind anyway):
- Humorous songs
- Songs about animals
- Sad/mournful songs
- Pump-up music, or dance party music

So The Thamesmen were Spinal Tap and Spinal Tap were The Thamesmen?
Yes the fictional band had an even older fictional origin band.

But now we have two songs that are exactly the same, even the same video, albeit different video quality. Luckily, I didn’t need to pick one over the other.
Well crap… I did not watch the video, only made sure no one submitted a song that had already been submitted in terms of the same artist.
My second choice, not for voting: Jessica Rabbit Why Don't You Do Right HD - YouTube
Also could have worked for diegetic music, would have been a better pick than what I gave!
I’ll count all votes for Spinal Tap together and then figure out something for points for the winners
IDK, Spinal Tap taking votes away from Spinal Tap seems like one of the most Spinal Tap things ever.

I also wanted to contribute $ave Dat Money, but after Lil Dicky did a collab with Chris Brown I refuse to listen to him at all.
I was between Bromberg & Lil Dickey. I haven’t listened to Bromberg in year and years but he’s a quirky kind of singer I generally like and my brother was always a big fan of his.
Did not know. Is it too late to change my vote?
I didn’t care much for any of the new-to-me songs this week, but was most entertained by the Lil Dicky song/video.
Thank you to whoever submitted “The Gambler,” easily the best song in this list & one of the best of all time, imo. I had not listened to it in years.
