That Round 3 challenge was to write a "song of wisdom"; an uplifting song to sing for a graduation ceremony, dedication, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, funeral, baptism, or similar event. We went with a general celebratory song about graduation.
Jerkatorium followed that up by winning second place in SpinTunes Round 4 with our song "Oh Pandora", which you can also hear and download for free on Bandcamp:

That Round 4 challenge was to write a song about something that seemed like a good idea at the time, but ended very badly, as in the types of situations described by the Darwin Awards. We went with the Pandora myth, where Pandora was given a jar (the popular misconception that it was a box, but it was a jar) as a wedding gift from Zeus, and when she opened it all evils were loosed upon the world.
I'll admit that I buried the lead a bit here: When I write that Jerkatorium won second place in SpinTunes 16 Round 4, I am actually reporting that Jerkatorium lost SpinTunes 16. There are only four rounds in SpinTunes, and only one winner, and we came in second by a wide margin. Second place out of 27 competitors is not shabby though, and we strongly agree that the band Temnere had a better song than ours, and he definitely deserved to win. Temnere (Wil Whalen) is also an extremely talented visual artist, and you can see some of his great artwork at Artstation.com.
