Start date – 4th day of this week Wednesday 4th month of 2026 (4 years shy of 2030). 4 goodness sake.
Four Play
This theme is built around one simple rule: everything must somehow connect to the number FOUR.
How you get there is entirely up to you… and the more ridiculous the reasoning, the better…
There are no limits to interpretation—only one requirement:
👉 You must explain your “four” connection when you present your song.
What counts as “FOUR”? Literally anything.
Here’s some inspiration to get the brain (and questionable logic) going:
• The 4th hit from an artist you love (or hate)
• A song from the 4th decade of your life (brace yourself)
• A song about four walls, rooms, or being stuck somewhere
• A band with four members
• A song in 4/4 time (congrats, that’s almost all of them… explain yourself anyway)
• A song you’ve played 4 times in a row because ……well – just because
• A memory involving 4 people, 4 drinks too many, or 4 bad decisions
• A song that lasted exactly 4 minutes-ish (we’ll allow rounding… barely)
• Something linked to 4 elements (earth, wind, fire… and vibes)
• A personal story where the number 4 somehow matters
• The time you played golf, shouted FOUR, but the ball still hit 2 people ….
Important Rule
You cannot just play the song — the magic is in the explanation.
The more creative, ridiculous, or tenuously connected your reasoning is, the better.
If people groan, laugh, or question your sanity… you’ve nailed it.
- The air guitarists feel seen.
- The drummers finally get revenge.
- The intro that’s “the best part of the song” is the whole song.
