Oops! That's torn it. We all know the feeling: we're coasting along on a smooth course, then something happens to throw everything askew.
Accidents can be calamatous; fatal even. But such moments can inspire music, whether by providing a tale to tell in song, or simply by unblocking a creative channel. And there is such a thing as a happy accident.
So tell us about your musical tales of the unexpected below, and next week we'll gather together some of the highlights.
The toolbox:
* Listen to others' suggestions and add yours to a collaborative Spotify playlist.
* Previously on Readers Recommend.
* Guide to "donds", "zedded", and other strange words used by some of the RR regulars (courtesy of the Marconium).
* The Marconium (blog containing a wealth of data on RR, including the songs that are "zedded").
* The 'Spill (blog for the RR community).
Please do:
* Post your nominations before midday on Tuesday if you wish them to be considered.
* Write a few lines advocating the merits of your choices.
But please don't:
* Post more than one third of the lyrics of any song.
* Dump lists of nominations. If you must post more than two or three at once, please attempt to justify your choices.
