If you have been following RonBurgandy's awesome dTunes series, you will know that I have been your gracious host this week. I figure what better way to pimp my contributions than to deliver a special song roundup right here on the recaps! Below, I have posted four songs representing each day I have hosted. These songs were not featured on their respective days; they are unique to these recaps! Isn't that special?

This is all building up to tomorrow's grand finale when I unveil the ultra, super-secret, mega-hyper, fifth-day musical artist! Why did I do all this? Because today was a boring day on the blogs and I thought you all deserved a little something extra.

Day 1: Random a.k.a. Mega Ran
"Final Battle" feat. Loose

Sampling "Last Boss" from Mega Man 6, this collaboration is sure to get the club jumpin'!



Day 2: The Grammar Club
"Bank Holiday"

In this music video, Shael does his best Kanye West impersonation. Also, MC Frontalot cameo! The first 15 seconds are dark, so don't mind that.



Day 3: Eurodance One-Hit Wonders
"Mr. Vain" by Culture Beat

I know what I want! Do you?



Day 4: Richard Cheese
"Star Wars Cantina"

This one is actually a parody of Barry Mannilow's "Copacabana" featuring Star Wars references.



Day 5: ???

What will tomorrow bring? It's a mystery! Fancy a guess? In fact, let's turn this into a contest! If you can guess tomorrow's artist, I will mail you $20! Hell, I bet ten bucks you won't even guess the correct genre! I mean, what pattern am I following here? Monday was hip-hop, Tuesday was nerdcore, Wednesday was Eurodance, and today was lounge. I'm a wild card, people!

Remember, if you are interested in joining the ranks of the dTunes crew and sharing your favorite jams with the community, read this and drop RonBurgandy an email. He's always looking for fresh meat!

Anyway, on to the recaps.
