Hi Casey,

Happy Belated Birthday!!!

The first thing that I heard in my head was Michael saying "five dollar."

I say go for it! The song is great, and they are asking for a wide range of styles and it sounds commercially viable to me!

Excellent work as always!

Mark

It's a no from me on this one

This is a throwback kinda track and the refs are all modern / current. They don't belong on the same radio station never mind the same playlist.

You're probably right. Normally, I wouldn't consider submitting this based on the ref tracks. The wording implies a much wider net than the refs or that the refs are more about the lyrical content. Oh well, it's five bucks (or 1-2 cups of coffee).

Thanks!
Casey
