No Intro Video. This week not really been the best of weeks and I didn't have the energy today to do one.
The theme for Season 370 is runners Up
There are many songs that got stuck at No. 2 in the charts, songs that maybe you thought "How did that one never make no. 1?" Examples off the top of my head are Vienna by Ultravox which peaked at no 2 in the UK and Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street with it's striking sax riff which peaked at no. 2 in the Billboard Charts in the USA. (It only made no. 3 in the UK, btw). You often find that these songs are better known than the ones that kept them off the top.
If you Google "songs that peaked at no 2" or similar you'll find plenty more. The lists I found were UK specific so I'll leave you to do your own search for your local list. If you want, put links in the season thread.
So this week, you are to bring songs that peaked at no. 2 in your local charts. It doesn't matter if they made no. 1 elsewhere (you'll often find they did) just make it local to you and tell us which country it peaked at no 2.
Just bring one song a day, max to start with and I'll see how it goes. I might lift the limit later in the week.
The usual rules and guidelines apply
* The recording must be new and made for this week.
* Ukulele must be a prominent feature though other instruments are also welcome.
* State somewhere that your video is for Season 370
* If you prefer to bring an original, that's great. Make it on the theme of "runners up".
* Plugging in, multi tracking, ovrdubbing etc. are all welcome
* Start and finsh times as usual, 8 days starting midnight Hawaii on Sunday morning and ending Midnight Hawaii the following Saturday night* * * Most importantly, this is about fun so enjoy yourselves.
[Playlist]
I will comment on individual songs on You Tube and add periodic summaries in the thread.
