The tunes are spinning, they’re spinning in circles
And everyone is riding along
Men and women, Winslows and Urkels,
All sharing their homemade songs
(SpinTunes)
And every round somebody’s going home dejected
(SpinTunes)
Because their finely-crafted tune just got rejected
But let’s not dwell on that now
Instead let me tell you about how
The tunes are spinning, they’re spinning right atcha
They’re coming on thick and fast
The one that’s winning is that one that’s catchiest,
That makes an impression that lasts
(SpinTunes)
But all this music tends to leave a person senseless
(SpinTunes)
We need a guide who’s already lost his senses
So let me introduce to you
A gentleman who used to do
A lot of interesting things
He’s the undisputed minor duke of comedy
He’s the William Henry Harrison of harmony
Never takes home the statue, but he’s still a nominee
I’d tell you more, but I think he might be onto me
Here’s your host, the one and only Tommy G
The tunes are spinning in parabolic arches
And everybody’s having some fun
From tender ballads to vitriolic marches
There’s something for everyone
(SpinTunes)
Guitar solos that will melt your face off
(SpinTunes)
Rhymes so sick you’ll need to take a couple days off
Let’s go ahead and dive in
Let’s give these dang tunes a spin
It’s SpinTunes!

welcome to the battlefield
where war's fought mind to mind
strangers come
to seek the tasks
their destinies entwined
joining with the new formation
to race against the time
find the root
the inspiration
and lay it on the line
for the glory of the battle
for the chance to put a credit to your name
take the scroll, complete the challenge
will you be crowned a king, come and seal your fate
feel the spark rise up within you
and spin your yarn into a tapestry of gold
set your mark and write the perfect tune
and join the ranks of all the lauded and the bold
spin tuuuunes
compete for your honor
spin tuuunes
the fires ignite
spin tuuunes
the best you can offer
so join us and listen
come gather tonight

Verse 1- Instrumental
24 seconds for the DJ to talk
Verse 2- Lyrical
---------------------
All last week you were finding your sound
We’re getting together and we’re checking it out
Jump on in to the live group chat
So you can point out where the challenge was met
You wrote the music
You wrote the lyrics
You got the moxie
You got the spirit
It’s time to show up
It's time to hear it
You’re not objective
Because you’re too near it

Writing is hard
Words aren't the best
Who'll pass the test?
Some will create
Some will observe
What have you heard?
It won't work
What are you trying to do?
At least there's a song out of this!
I was testing a theory,
I thought it could work
And this is a break
SpinTunes listening party
