ROUND 2

connorgarvey — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 19:25:55 +0000

Have you ever heard…

Have you ever heard a dolphin sing the song of a whale or the sea urchin hum the tune of a clam?

Have you ever heard a chipmunk reproduce the heavenly chatter of a raccoon or watch a Panda as he raises tribute to the Bard Owl?

Have you walked through a city and heard the homely pigeon come to life through the swooner song of the peacock?

Few of us will ever be so lucky as to hear these natural delights. Yet, in this season of sharing, let us still enjoy the gift of song and dedication to community as we listen to the sound of songwriters covering other songwriters! This round of cover your friends has 10 outstanding videos with one shared goal- to sing the songs of those they enjoy!

P.S. like us on Facebook so you can stay in the loop as this gains more and more momentum!
