Hey Cromrades, my #SSAweek Blogathon contribution day is rapidly approaching. For those of you who don’t know, I’ve pledged to learn, record, and post songs that you request, for a minimum donation of $10. Here’s a recap of the requests I’ve received thus far:
- lorenprice pledges $15, and requests “Helter Skelter” by the Beatles

- John Horstman pledges $50, and requests “Thanks, Bastards” by Mischief Brew
- Julia pledges $10(? – didn’t specify), and requests an original pro-science song her a capella group performs
- Frogmistress pledges $10, and requests “3 Small Words” by Josie and the Pussycats
- MSM16 pledges $50, and requests “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor
- Karen pledges $10, and requests “The Ballad of Day Kitty” by Lou Barlow
