from the bam!-bam!-I'm-a-lamb! dept.

On a slow news day, the BBC "reports" some rules about a summer hit tune. In summary:

  1. It has to be simple.
  2. It should make you feel like you're on holiday.
  3. Novelty is everything.
  4. Radio-friendly songs make bigger hits.
  5. It should be released before the summer.
  6. But it should have the word "summer" in the title.

If simplicity and novelty are the most important then this summer's hit could be Beep! Beep! I'm A Sheep!

    The secrets of winning the lottery.
    1. buy tickets. The more the better
    2. store them in a safe place, remember their location
    3. pay attention to the lottery winning numbers and compare carefully
    4. if match found, you won, do nothing for a week, then contact trusted lawyer (o wait) and cash in.

    What is left out from the analysis is whether is worth it to try and write the summer song. Hint, it is not. Do your stuff, if something ends up popular you get chewed by the system until it deems you are more worthy dead than alive.
