Tuna Mitten

Underwritten by The Wheel


���� Boy, ain't it great to have a song in your heart? The day just seems to go that much better with a happy little tune in your head, huh? But in this busy world, who has time to think of a song to sing, whistle, or hum on a daily basis?! I mean, there's about a zillion songs in the world ... how is a person to decide on just one? It's impossible!

���� Once again, The Wheel has your back. Each day, on this very webpage, a new song will be posted for you to sing, whistle, or hum throughout the day! Yes, the days of pulling out your hair are gone with Tuna Mitten.

���� Now, seriously; can you imagine how rip-roarin' cool it would be to walk into the office whistling a tune when, lo and behold, someone is right there ready to meet you at the chorus?! GOOD NIGHT, NURSE! I'm sold! Take me to the song of the day!

No so fast there, Mabel ...

Because Tuna Mitten is now also CASHA Mitten!
     What? You mean all this and I can win cash prizes, too?!?! It's true, my friend! Each week at Tuna Mitten, all five songs for the week will share a common theme. For example, a typical week might include

Song 1:   Voices Carry by 'Til Tuesday
Song 2:   Blue Monday by Fats Domino
Song 3:   Wednesday Morning, 3am by Simon & Garfunkel
Song 4:   Sunday, Bloody Sunday by U2
Song 5:   Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting by Elton John


     Obviously, the above week's underlying theme would be "Days of the Week." Notice that the theme is carried not always through the song titles, but sometimes through the artists' names.

     Now let's throw some gas on this fire. The theme itself will not be given on the page until the following week. Now here's the good part: if you are the first person to correctly discern and e-mail the theme to The Wheel, YOU WIN! One dollar will be presented to you, and another dollar will be presented to the staff member of your choice! And these are real dollars, Jack; not like that e-mail dime that Windler got stuck with!

     Now here's the bad part: The Wheel knows you; The Wheel knows how smart you are. So the themes aren't just going to jump off your computer and introduce themselves to you like in the easy example above. You may have to work at this a little bit. To increase the drama, the week's songs will always be arranged from most cryptic to least cryptic ... so if the week's theme is not immediately clear, stay tuned. The Wheel doubts that even Miss Cleo would be able to get one by Monday.

     The earlier the guess the better, as your comrades are likely breathing down your neck. However, keep in mind that you are only permitted to mail one guess per week. And to win the dough, you have to nail the specified underlying theme -- not just have one that you think "works." All decisions of The Wheel will be considered final; there is no crying in Tuna.

     What if I don't think I'm going to be very good at this? Can I still just listen to the Song of the Day like I did before?" Well, by all means you can, friend. That's why we're here.

     Are you ready?! Well then, HERE WE GO!!
