About SOTD
The Song of the Day (SotD) is a fun way to get exposed to some new music, or maybe learn more about a song you already know.
The way it works is this:
Anyone can nominate a song on the Song of the Day special page. Once approved, the nominations are then moved to the queue. One nomination is then selected each day from the list of songs in the queue and displayed on the LyricWiki Main Page as "Sotd". The nifty badge on the right is also added to the song's page.
The successful nominee isn't forgotten about either. Providing they are registered (and don't use an alias when submitting their nomination) they receive notification that their song has won "Song of the Day". Also, that their name has now been added to the list of SOTD Winners.
After the day is over, the entry is archived. The entry is also displayed on this page until the middle of the following month.
So now you know how it works, why not head on over to the Song of the Day special page and nominate a song today!
And when you've done that, how about nominating an Album of the Week?

July 17, 2012: Cool, Cool, Considerate Men by Sherman Edwards
- Nominated by Cubs Fan.
- Another of 1776's showstoppers, it's one of my favorite numbers from the musical. And while I enjoy Donald Madden's version in the film and Michael Cumpsty's version in the 1997 revival, Paul Hecht's performance is just perfectly theatrical.

- Nominated by Thatgermanguy.

July 04, 2012: Molasses To Rum by Sherman Edwards
- Nominated by Cubs Fan.
- One of 1776's showstoppers, it's probably the most powerful song from the play. Sung by Edward Rutledge, decrying the hypocrisy of the Northern states calling for the abolition of slavery while simultaneously profiting from the slave trade, it packs a heck of punch. Clifford David ('69) and Gregg Edelman's ('97) versions are good, but John Cullum's version in the movie is my favorite.
