Season 209 – The Deck of Cards
A pretty simple theme this week - I want songs about Kings, Queens, Jacks, Aces, Jokers, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades, or (yes, the easy option) Hearts. A few examples – King of the Road, Hit The Road Jack, and Heroes (mentions King and Queen)
Songs which contain any of these words in the title or lyrics are OK, although if anyone enters three songs about broken hearts, I may banish them to the island of lazy song researchers.
Other cards (two, three, four etc) can only be used if they definitely relate to a card – so a song about the Three of Diamonds is OK, but “Three Steps to Heaven” is not.
Band/Artist names do not count – so no songs by King, Queen, Jack White, Ace, Neil Diamond, you get the idea. However, thinking about it, “Killer Queen” by Queen WOULD be OK, as it’s about a Queen as well as being by one. I’ll stop now before I think of any more complications.
Additional rules for tarot cards! Songs about dealing, playing, or reading tarot cards are fine. But for the individual cards, the number cards rules apply, so you can't do a song just because it mentions the Moon, or Death.
You can also enter songs which are about people playing cards, dealing cards, losing at poker, beating their children at snap, etc.
And of course, original songs can also be entered, as long as they follow the same card rules above.
1) Maximum of 3 new videos each please, to give me a chance to listen & comment on them.
2) All the usual rules about playing a ukulele apply, and multitracking is OK.
3) Season starts at 00:01 Hawaii time Sunday 14th, ends 23:59 Hawaii time Sunday 21st
There will be prizes. And that’s all I am saying.
