Criteria

Please add your nomination to the bottom of the list below. Only nominate songs with existing song pages. Nominations where the song name is a red link will be rejected.
A nomination needs to be something more than just "I like this song." At a minimum give a thoughtful, personal reason why you like the song. (In other words, if your reason could apply to any song, or it is just trivia about the song, it needs something more.) Keep the reason short and to the point. You have about 1-2 lines to use.
When providing a reason for nomination, please make sure that it is written in coherent English. It doesn't need to be perfect grammar, but it should show that some effort was put into it. Anything else will be held back until it is corrected.
Check to ensure that the song has not been Song Of The Day before.
Song lyrics should be accurate and should be formatted according to Help:Contents before being moved to the queue. Additionally, if the song lyrics are not in English, a translation should be provided. If the language uses non-roman characters, both the original characters and a romanized version should be provided.

Although not necessary for inclusion as Song of the Day, it is beneficial if nominated pages include YouTube and audio links whenever available. If you love the song enough for it to be SOTD, let others enjoy the music as well as the lyrics!

Nomination Template

For more in-depth instructions and information, see Template:SOTDNom

Add the following code to the bottom of the nominations (link) replacing parameters in angle brackets with the information needed for the song. (The template will automatically sign your signature for "Nominated By:")

{{subst:SOTDNom|Artist=<<Artist>>|Song=<<Song Title>>|Reason=<<Reason>>|Notes=<<Any additional notes*>>}}

^* Not a required parameter, this is used for any additional notes you have about the nomination, such as requesting the date the song appears as "Song of the Day" (For example The Beatles:Taxman for April 17, 2007 (tax day in the United States.))

Copy and paste the following code (replacing (SONG LINK) and (REASON) with your information):

<br/>
'''Song: (SONG LINK)'''<br/>
'''Nominated By: ~~~'''<br/>
'''Reason:''' (REASON)<br/>

Example nomination (put real nominations in next section):

{{subst:SOTDNom|Artist=Staind|Song=Everything Changes|Reason=This was the song I was listening to when I decided once and for all that I would go ahead and make this site. Thought it would be appropriate as the first Song of the Day.}}

would produce

Song: Staind:Everything Changes
Nominated By: ExampleUser
Reason: This was the song I was listening to when I decided once and for all that I would go ahead and make this site. Thought it would be appropriate as the first Song of the Day.

Hint: Don't make the Nominated By link yourself. Just type three (not four!) tildes (~~~) -- when you save the page they will be replaced by your username (or IP address if you are not logged in) including the link to your user page.
If you have a very colorful signature, please insert in the default format, like [[User:Username|Username]].
