Musical tag, with shit fixed.

Guaranteed no dots, no post-eating fold.*

Rules of Musical Tag.

These are rules that have developed by osmosis in the other threads. It helps to know them.

It's song title tag. ''Kewpie Doll - the Birthday Party'' could be followed by ''Oh Baby Doll - Chuck Berry'', but not by ''Ship Of Fools - World Party''.

Type the song name and the artist name. For example, ''Kewpie Doll - The Birthday Party''.

It's better if you highlight the word you kept from the last one, but it's not necessary. For example, ''Oh Baby Doll - Chuck Berry''.

It's good tag etiquette to avoid repetition of the same word (unless it's funny or clever somehow, or you can't avoid it). For example, if you've followed ''Kewpie Doll'' with ''Oh Baby Doll'', whoever follows ''Oh Baby Doll'' should avoid using ''Doll'' as the tag word. Try ''Oh Lonesome Me'' or ''We're Having A Baby'', for example.

In the event that you are beaten to the punch and your post is no longer simpatico with the post above it, your post is invalid. Musical taggers should avoid tagging from posts that were too late.

Have fun!

ALSO can we suggest a recommendation (rather than a rule) that people not just google something for the sake of posting, not guess the title (like writing the song line that the title is in) or artist/s if they don't know, and that posters try to vary their tags rather than repeating the same ones they've used before too often. Thanks.
