Description:

Today in Arts and Crafts, we're making daisy chains. But not from construction paper. . . we're making them from your favorite songs.

For this swap, you'll make a mixed music CD for your swap partner of at least 15 songs. The key is that each song must daisy chain to song before and after it by one word common to each title.

For example, your CD track list may look something like this:

  1. Chain of Fools by Aretha Franklin (fools)
  2. Ship of Fools by Erasure (ship)
  3. My Ship by Patti Lupone (my)
  4. Be My Baby by the Ronnettes (baby)
  5. Baby You're Mine by Basia and so on.

Please include a song list for your CD as well as a sleeve or jewel case. A "heart" on this one may be rewarded for clever chains, a decorated CD and/or a snappy jacket or case.

The rules are very few for this swap.

All swappers need to have a least a 4.8 overall rating and no "1" ratings in the last few months. Newbies are welcomed to join with a complete profile.

Make sure your CD is playable before you send it out. If you have any questions, contact me at any time.

Happy swapping!

We used to do this as a forum thread (each person posting a song linking to the last one) and it's easier than you think :)

Do you mean a "heart" will be rewarded? Shouldn't any CD that follows the rules and arrives on time be a "5'?

Good catch Bookwyrm... my mistake :)

Welcome aboard Checker :)

I'm really excited to do this! Is it okay to change the form of the word that's the link (i.e one song has the word 'traditional' in it and the next has the word 'tradition')?

That should be fine. The key is to stick as close as possible to the rules, but still give your swap-ee a good music mix.
