Song of the Summer: A Few Early Submissions

recordplayer

Hey, Kids! In case you haven't heard (and I can't imagine that), the fourth annual TBTL Song of the Summer extravaganza is underway.

What song do you think (or hope) will be blasting out of every car window and boom box this summer? What song are you going to annoy your neighbors with?

Right now, there is probably a jam that got stuck in your brain a few weeks ago, and now every time you hear it, you think to yourself, "Damn, this is going to be a good summer." You should send us that song.

Email us your submissions for the Song of the Summer at tbtlmusic [at] gmail [dotcom] . If possible, send us an MP3 of the song. If not, just send a link to a YouTube video or something like that.

We've received a few submissions already, but so far, no specific song is beating any others, vote-wise. Here are a few selections, picked mostly at random. If you think one of these songs will be (or should be) the Song of the Summer, email us to let us know you second that emotion.

Brittany suggests "Ho Hey" by The Lumineers:

 

Zackary likes "Little Talks" by Of Monsters And Men:

 

And our first Katy Perry submission comes from Jake:

 

Now it's your turn. Send us your submissions or throw your support behind one of these songs by sending us an email at tbtlmusic [at] gmail [dotcom].

See you at the beach.

    Allow me
    To cut the ribbon on the two month long argument: This song is awesome, but nobody plays it. This song is terrible, and everyone is playing it. Go.

    Couldn't agree more. See my comments on the previous post. Hooray for the music of today, yesterday, and today! Wait... that's not right... Today, Yesterday, and Tomorrow? No... I dunno... music... that's, like, good, and whatever...

    We can retire her when she stops making radio gold. THE Bruce Dickinson.

    Excited about a new SOTS Competition
    And I also think that I'm gonna have to consider joining the Marines - it seems as though they've got a kick-A standard issue lip gloss now, and I could really do with some freshening of my color palatte...

    The first two videos above...
    I'd never heard either before, and I like them both a lot... and is it just me, or do they both have the exact same people shouting "HEY!" in the background?

    HEY!
    Haha, yep. They totally do. Edward Sharpe used it a ton in their album a couple years ago too. It's really a popular device these days.

    That's right...
    That's right you're wrong. The Cthulu of song "contests" is back. M.C. Escher, H.P. Lovecraft, and that Pinhead guy from the Hellraiser movies are ready. Let The Grand Exquisitness begin!! Jen, Luke, Sean, Andrew, remember... Inhale/Exhale/Inhale/Exhale. Rock On!!!
