Well here we go - I and others had some good fun with the challenge 202 Band Names , I am going to more or less steal that and modify it to Song Lyrics. So let's post all those winning shots that have been immortalized in song. Please post the song and then lyrics (artist is optional but feel free) .This should cover a very wide range of subjects and everyone should be able to participate

I will post two examples for a start

Song - Home on the Range: Lyric - "where the buffalo roam"


Song - Let's get this party started (Pink) : Lyric - "I'm coming up so you better get this party started"


The challenge is open now and will end on Sunday 24th of June at 12:00 PM GMT-7 (MST) .

My judging will be purely subjective whatever I feel is the best shot that matches the lyric if that helps

So break out your ipod, dust off your vinyl , pop in your cassettes and 8 tracks and Let's Get It On (Marvin Gaye btw )


The fine print....
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread. If it's no obvious, explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme.
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge closes after 7 days, then allows for a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Samsung DSLR) camera will do.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, the winner will PM the #2 winner and pass the baton to that person to be the judge.

Edit Happy Fathers Day to all us Dad's

Misguided angel hangin' over me
Heart like a gabriel, pure and white as ivory
Soul like a lucifer
Black and cold like a piece of lead
Misguided angel, love you 'til I'm dead

Forget the theme Dave. I agree it started out great and the sleeping lion picture is spot on. But now I'm just admiring the photos from Gerbermeister and atupdate in their own right.

Thanks MSL, that's really nice to hear. There are lots of nice shots up already and there are still five days to go!

You Raise me Up - Josh Groban



When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be

[RM Barker]

The photos above are a great imaginative response to the challenge. Hope this one fits in ...

When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be

Love this one, casil403! - the integrity of picture and song seems perfect to me.

"Don't go out tonight
well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bathroom on the right"

Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Bad Moon Rising" almost, sort of. Misheard lyrics.

Puttin' on the Ritz by Irving Berlin

Have you seen the well-to-do, up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare, with their noses in the air
High hats and Arrowed collars, white spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime, for a wonderful time
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Different types who wear a daycoat, pants with stripes
And cut away coat, perfect fits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Dressed up like a million dollar trouper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks
Or umbrellas in their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz
