Challenge Mini-Games Challenge (Now Open For NEW 2024 Challenges!)

Yes, of course! For you, I have Holiday (1983).

Spoiler: Lyrics here

Holiday
Celebrate
Holiday
Celebrate

If we took a holiday
Took some time to celebrate
Just one day out of life
It would be, it would be so nice

Everybody spread the word
We're gonna have a celebration
All across the world
In every nation
It's time for the good times
Forget about the bad times, oh yeah
One day to come together to release the pressure
We need a holiday

If we took a holiday
Took some time to celebrate (come on, let's celebrate)
Just one day out of life (holiday)
It would be, it would be so nice

You can turn this world around
And bring back all of those happy days
Put your troubles down
It's time to celebrate
Let love shine
And we will find
A way to come together, can make things better
We need a holiday

If we took a holiday (holiday)
Took some time to celebrate (celebrate)
Just one day out of life (just one day)
It would be, it would be so nice

Holiday
Celebrate
Holiday
Celebrate

If we took a holiday (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Took some time to celebrate (come on, let's celebrate)
Just one day out of life (holiday)
It would be, it would be so nice

Holiday (ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
Celebrate (come on, let's celebrate)
Holiday (just one day out of life)
Celebrate

And now just one more Madonna song left! Anyone? Anyone?

 

You got it! Your song is La isla bonita (1986).

Spoiler: Lyrics here

¿Cómo puede ser verdad? [How can it be true?]

Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song
Young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away

Tropical the island breeze, all of nature wild and free
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
This is where I long to be, La Isla Bonita [the beautiful island]
And when the samba played, the sun would set so high
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes, your Spanish lullaby

I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
Te dijo, "Te amo"
I prayed that the days would last, they went so fast

Tropical the island breeze, all of nature wild and free
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
This is where I long to be, La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played, the sun would set so high
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes, your Spanish lullaby

I want to be where the sun warms the sky
When it's time for siesta, you can watch them go by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl

Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
It all seems like yesterday, not far away

Tropical the island breeze, all of nature wild and free
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
This is where I long to be, La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played, the sun would set so high
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes, your Spanish lullaby

(Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa)
Tropical the island breeze, all of nature wild and free
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
This is where I long to be, La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played, the sun would set so high
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes, your Spanish lullaby

La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Te dijo, te amo [I say to you, I love you]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Él dijo que te ama [He says he loves you]
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
La Isla Bonita
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Spanish lullaby

It is my pleasure to announce that I, too, have finished my story for @Mira_Jade's most magnificent Tudor Roulette Challenge

The Legend of Pelican Mothers

I loved every second of writing for this challenge, and I might just write a second story with my prompts (featuring the actual Mary I) if my muse decides to be especially cooperative about allowing my flighty inspirations to become concrete reality

 

Woot! That's going in the index now!

Yay! And I especially love that you took the legend that made the pelican such a fitting symbol for Queen Elizabeth and incorporated it into your story! How cool is that?

Yaaaaaas! Seconded, for sure!

 

@earlybird-obi-wan How exciting to see a story posted for the Edgar Allan Poe Poetry Challenge

I've added it to the index now

And just as a small point of clarity, it's actually @Mira_Jade who is hosting the Tudor Roulette Challenge, but I know with all the Mini Games going on right now, it can be hard to keep track of who is hosting what challenge

 

Fantastic! I've got it in the index.

 

That's excellent, Nyota, thanks so much! Got it in the index now.
