I think this is meant to be like Xmasvision / Hallowe'en-Vision but for summer-based songs.
If we were allowed to enter major hits, it would become like Pop Idol.
There is a song I am thinking of whose original version got to #58 a long time after it was first recorded, and a cover version of it got to #10, and the original artist are a band who have had a lot of #1s. It is also one of their most popular songs. Would it be allowed?

Too generic and open to interpretation. Would have to be a contest exactly like lingovision. Can you be trusted not to screw up though.

Usually the one running the contest decides what is eligible for it and what the rules are for voting etc.

Arrow "Hot Hot Hot" was such a song for a decade but then it finally scraped the top 40 in 1994.
Rather hard to believe it still only got to #38 and that "Long Time" was a bigger hit. Nobody remembers "Long Time", but everyone at the time at least knew "Hot Hot Hot".

So what ARE the criteria for entering.
Your first post states
"Any summer song that never made top 40"
Second post
"Can any summer anthem. Not sure if should go none top 10 hit or none top 40 hit or any "
This is a contradiction of the first post.
Third post state
"Does not have summer title"
Does his means then song title must not have the word summer in it.
Anthem is surely the wrong word to use. To me a ballad can be an anthem
Seriously Bruce if you are gonna do this you better have the rules set in stone made by you and you alone if its gonna be like a havenvision contest with a eurovision style voting.
Otherwise you will face the wrath of the members for the last time and your arse will be kicked out of here before you have chance to fart. Because reading this thread already is starting to p*ss me off with 3 decision changes already and one of them not made by you.

I'd just say:
- Not a UK top 40 hit or US top 10 hit. (That rules out Summer of 69) - Any word in the title relating to summer or a general summer theme. (summer, sun, beach, etc.).

So leave the thread and dont come back into it, you're not playing, so what does it matter. Why get so worked up about it, if the game happens, it happens, if not the world will keep on turning.

What about the UK Top 40/USA Top 10 rule? It Can be U.K. USA top 40 hit. Fair enough. So different to the Halloween Game when if that had the same rules as this we could have had a Top 3 of Thriller; Zombie; & Ghostbusters .....
In which case I will not be playing as I feel this infringes on the xxxx Idol games - as this would be a good theme for a Round.
