La la la ♬ energetic! Whooshing! Wigglewiggle. Swells and speed! And climax! Snap! Catching and eating! ♫ Spin, spin . . . but not eating sailors. Kissing, and the music is soft!
An tune that begins a bit slow but quickly turns into an intense and dramatic tune to tango to.
A KAZOO TUNE PLAYED BY THE ENTIRE TEAM.
A slow, mournful beginning that steadily intensifies to become a frantic and flashy beat, a heart-pounding and dizzying rhythm that peaks, then spirals in a bright, glorious crash to finally trail off to a slow, mournful end.
Flowing but energetic waves to dance in, ones that could make a heart pop. Not in a scary way of course, but perhaps just like a bubble coming up from the water— or a bubble gum bubble to be shared with everyone!
A rocking tune that can inspire anything to achieve great feats of heroism no matter the circumstances!!!
Heavy metal with killer guitar solos and fast, heavy beats.
The song is cheerful and rather folky.
A heavy-metal song with a fantasy epic sound that demands your attention to its presence.
This song is cheerful and victorious, a melding of a number of different instruments. At first it seems like they are all playing their own thing, but as the music swells to a crescendo, it becomes obvious they are melding together into a single even more grand composition.
A bright and dramatic melody with a great deal of movement and energy. There's a lot of room for impressive flair, but at the same time, the beat is steady. Although it starts abruptly, getting your heart racing, it segues briefly into a rolling, cute and sweet and almost dreamy section, before finishing with a flourish.
It's an excited, happy tune starts out slow and hesitant, but builds in excitement.

In the water outside your bubble swims a varied group of fish. You know they each represent a song described by the other teams.

A tune whose energetic nature represents an idiot, going on an adventure into the deep sea, represented by a deep base line below the energetic melody, with a looming threat to it, like the parts underwater where lights don't reach, making your heart race with the idea of sea pressure and deepsea creatures, things in the darkness that don't look like anything 'real' and want to eat you.
⇒ It represents an idiot going on an adventure into the deep sea. There are looming threats in the darkness.

A bright and dramatic melody with a great deal of movement and energy. There's a lot of room for impressive flair, but at the same time, the beat is steady. Although it starts abruptly, getting your heart racing, it segues briefly into a rolling, cute and sweet and almost dreamy section, before finishing with a flourish.
⇒ This is about a battle between two people who were friends once. They became rivals over their differing beliefs on how to accomplish a goal they both desired. The fight turns into something softer once they are both exhausted and they come to the realization that they both have the same dream, and swells to a flourish when they work out their differences and agree to help each other accomplish their mutual goal. ... And then they kissed.

A slow, mournful beginning that steadily intensifies to become a frantic and flashy beat, a heart-pounding and dizzying rhythm that peaks, then spirals in a bright, glorious crash to finally trail off to a slow, mournful end.
⇒ It's... it's the cycle of a single living thing. A celebration of life as the focus! ♫

⇒ It's for two lovers reuniting after a long time apart. Cuddly makeouts are involved?

An tune that begins a bit slow but quickly turns into an intense and dramatic tune to tango to.

Oh.

... What about something energetic?

Ew.

Ew? What do you want, then?

I hate the very idea.

... Why?

It's annoying to become the personae's entertainment. Are we performers? No? Then why ask us to perform for them? Except it's not asking. We're being asked to perform, and they can dangle memories over us like a treat for a job well done.

How about a deep melody with a looming threat to it, like the parts underwater where lights don't reach, making your heart race with the idea of sea pressure and deepsea creatures, things in the darkness that don't look like anything 'real'?

[just takes a long moment to stare]

Isn't that a little too depressing...

The deep depths, where you can't survive, and anything that finds you will want to eat you.

[?????????????? why are you so depressing]

That's depressing. What about something—Energetic, but with a sense of danger and adventure that makes your heart race because of the feeling of adrenaline?

I hate it.

[he's getting the feeling you hate fun and is thus not actually surprised]

Energetic but haunting, like you're going on an adventure into the deep sea where things are probably going to eat you if you aren't careful.

The only way I'll give you energetic is if it represents the idiot going on the adventure into the deep sea. I hate energetic things.

Okay, fine, it can represent an idiot going on an adventure into the deep sea.

Fine. Then: "A tune whose energetic nature represents an idiot, going on an adventure into the deep sea, represented by a deep base line below the energetic melody, with a looming threat to it, like the parts underwater where lights don't reach, making your heart race with the idea of sea pressure and deepsea creatures, things in the darkness that don't look like anything 'real' and want to eat you."
