I can't get this one to play. ABCMUS says there's an incomplete tempo specification. Can one of you ABC specialists tell us what's wrong?

Also, I'm thinking it's not a good idea to start a separate thread just to add a tune for a song. If there's an existing thread for the song, that's a good place to put it. A thread for adding one tune is not likely to generate a lot of discussion, so the thread is likely to drop off the Forum Menu after just a day. If Susan and I miss it that day, it might get lost. If you plan to post a number of tunes, it might be an idea to start a single thread and post a number of tunes to it. Just change the subject title for each message.

I have mixed feelings about how to post lyrics. I think Stewie's train songs and Conrad's collection of songs would have worked better in one thread, rather than a bunch of separate threads - if the songs are interrelated, it's probably best to post them in a single thread.
On the other hand, Alan's Penguin songs were in separate threads, and that made it easier for Malcolm and others to add their wonderful comments - but note that Alan provided links to tie all the Penguin songs together, and he had that word Penguin in the thread title to help.

I don't have a really good, solid answer about this- but I do have the impression that isolated song and tune postings tend to get lost. Better to put many songs or tunes in a thread full of interrelated songs.
Handling song requests is a different matter. A request should go in a separate thread, unless there is already an existing thread for that particular song - and the lyrics posted in response should go in the request thread (preferably with ADD included in the SUBJECT title).
