Request for clarification

Hello!

I'm a little stuck on two nominated pieces. Could the nominator please get in touch with me, either by commenting here or by emailing jukebox.mod@gmail.com ?

1. Rainbow Connection - Various (Song)

Is this a specific medley version with various artists, or do you mean you don't care which cover you get? (A specific version is preferred, but negotiable.)


2. My brother my enemy - Sassafrass Singers (Song)

I love the lyrics, but I'm not sure this song stands on its own and can be understood without further knowledge of Norse mythology. Nominator, what did you have in mind? Other people are welcome to chime in - this doesn't seem like a hard-and-fast case to me.



PS - If you nominate something with just its title and artist, I'm going to assume you mean (Song) and will approve accordingly. Please let me know if your nomination goes through in a form you did not intend.

I'm not the nominator, but those lyrics sound utterly fascinating and like they would support a really interesting story that wasn't based on Norse Mythology (or, of course, one that was). I'd vote for inclusion, with the caveat that the nominator had better be okay with getting a story not based on Norse Mythology.

(It seems to me to be in the same realm as opera arias or songs from musicals, which could -- and have been used to, in Jukebox -- support a reading that wasn't related to their original purpose.)
