***Official June Siggy Challenge Thread*** UPDATE/REMINDER

[rainbowbridge14]

We had an overwhelming winner in the poll, so our June siggy challenge theme is the #1 Song in the year and month you were born (feel free to fudge it a bit if it leads to a better siggy ). 

Post your awesome siggys below and love tit your favorites!

Is everyone okay with leaving it up until Thursday then creating a poll for the winner after that? 

QOTM: If it isn't already, what song should have been number 1 the year and month you were born because it "totally represents you?"

@ketchup and bluefairy5 Sticky please?



REMINDER: Please post if you want to participate in the challenge and love tit your favorite siggy's by tomorrow. I plan to post the winner's poll tomorrow night

I'll play this month! May 1983....Beat It.

QOTW: I have no idea. It would be different at every age you asked.

[lilyharper]

Billie Jean! I'll have to think on qotw.

[rainbowbridge14]

What is with all the Michael Jackson? We must be a cool bunch here.

I admit I fudged to the month after, but I have "We Are the World."

The one for my month is REO Speedwagon's "Can't fight this feeling" which I didn't know that well, but I watched the video and the sheer 80's-ness of it made me laugh, so for your viewing pleasure:



QOTM: I kind of feel like I should have been born in 1991, when the Bad Relgion generator album came out. Generator was just my song for many years. I still love it.

*sticky*


Mine turned out to be Physical, which has been stuck in my head ever since I discovered this, thanks.



Oops: QOTM:  That's a toughie.  I'm gonna have to come back and edit this post again when I figure it out...

I missed the super cool 80's decade. . . the #1s in 1979 were so, so bad. The month of April is Heart of Glass by Blondie. If you're too young to remember that one, I give you for your viewing pleasure:

QOTM: Seriously great question, but I'll have to think about it. No idea.

edited to properly link. How do I embed video?

You.... you lump Blondie into "so, so bad"?   I'm.... not quite sure how to process this news.

February 1981: Kool and the Gang - Celebration!



I'll have to think about the QOTM.

ETA link - for some reason I can't get it to work in my siggy, though

[katemonster]

I'm jealous of the MJ, but "get physical" wins in my book.

Mine is Footloose (April '84). I'm a fan of the original, but never saw the remake.

QOTW: Christina Aguilara, "Dirty"

[kcheese]

Curtesy of birthdayjams.com my song is Footloose by Kenny Loggins! I love this- although now it's stuck in my head & I feel like dancin'

edit: katemonster, lol we have the same song!
I'll go with the top song in the UK then Lionel Richie- Hello

Hello was #1 in the us in May I think. It's a badass creepy video!

[lilycakes78]

Love these!!! Haha!

rainbowbridge14, "I Can't Fight This Feeling" is a great 80s song! Awesome!

Oh, bluefairy5, you are gonna win this, because, I mean... "Physical"...the best! The video alone...I can't even....

firstbbq, Like you, I'm stuck with the 70s songs. They don't really compare to the cheesiness of the 80s tunes, but oh well! "Heart of Glass" is a great song though

Oh, man, I really hate mine. I'm not gonna be winning this one.

August, 1978: The Commodores "Three Times A Lady" I mean, I love Lionel Richie, but not so much this one.

QOTM: This is really hard. Since I was born in the late seventies, maybe something Paul Simon. I love the lyrics to "Late in the Evening" so I'll go with that one!

[DrHooch]

Can someone help me? I cannot figure out why the image won't show in my siggy but does show in my post!

[rainbowbridge14]

DrHooch Did you use a website like *!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! for the image link/resize. If not I would try that first. If you did then check that the link text did not get partially cut off in your siggy because of the character limit. Also, I can't see the pic in either the post or the siggy.

Yeah, sorry not sorry to be assaulting everyone's eyes with this for the month.  Although nothing will ever beat @ketchup's October Halloween fail.  *shudders*

I used tinyurl.com. Ok, I chose a different one, and now it's showing but it's huge. How do I shrink it?

I always use *!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! and they have an option to resize on the bottom drop down menu when you are uploading. I used website/email (320X240) and it sized pretty well.

Thanks rainbowbridge14! I finally figured it out

[cindal]

Not really doing the siggy challenge but just for fun, mine was Walk Like an Egyptian by The Bangles.
QOTM: I would probably pick 'These Dreams' by Heart instead. It's from the same era but much more me.
