A community to send a song based on the last song that was posted. Make sure to sort by new.

Yes, I've migrated (duplicated) from reddit.

Rules:

  1. Have fun
  2. When you post new songs, make sure to sort the posts by "new"
  3. Any excuse works for the connection between the songs (see examples below) but put your reasoning in the post body
  4. Wait a couple of hours after posting before you post again if no one posts after you
  5. Be polite and excellent to each other!
  6. Songs in any language is welcome, but make sure you add explanation in English

Fun fact: Lead Belly was the original author of Black Betty. Ram Jam's version, Spiderbait's version and Tom Jones' version are Lead Belly's covers.

Another fun fact: this song is based on a centuries-old folk song called The Maid Freed from the Gallows that has been sung in one form or another by everyone from Lead Belly to Bob Dylan to Led Zeppelin
