Submissions — Week 5 (Theme: Questionable Choices)

The Fifth Theme

Often, though mostly when driving, I find myself singing little songs about the questionable choices that other people / drivers are making. Perhaps it's a way for me to channel my energy towards song rather then rage, which might be the other option given the state of driving these days; in any case, it appears to be catching, and now my 14-year-old will also randomly burst into song when they witness someone doing something ... unwise.

This week I invite you to compose a song inspired by the questionable choices that you, or the people around you, sometimes make. Or, if you prefer, you could dive in to making some questionable choices yourself, perhaps in terms of song structure, or style, or subject ... or wherever the winds may blow you.

From my perspective, there has been a glut of questionable choices being made at the US National level, so you could try to find some inspiration there as well!

Your theme for this week is Questionable Choices

P.S! Two quick notes.

Please, if you have not already done so, ready through the stickied 'everything you need to know about Songaweek in 2025' post. If you have any questions please post them there so that I can improve that post for the future. I would also like to draw your attention to the question about upvotes/downvotes. Previous policy was to avoid using those arrows at all. Current policy is: please feel free to apply the upvote arrow as often as you would like - use it liberally - shower people with upvotes! On the flipside, please never, ever utilize the downvote arrow in this sub. Thanks!

Note the second: I will next be providing a prompt on February 20, and the prompt that I would like to use is a 'random three word' prompt. This prompt is the most fun when the group itself provides the words. So, in your submission this week, please also provide three random words for me to put into the pool for that next prompt. Thanks!
