Good enough to make this original work eligible? Vote y/n/dc now!

See here for brief previous discussion, and populate this thread with further discussion.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Seems like each of them has a substantial amount of games under their belts. I don't know of any cons in this qualification, so I'm going to say yes.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's hard to say. They're all co-composition credits. I'm not sure how much of that actually translates out to having done professional work.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

"Co-composed" doesn't equal "no composed". :-) Looks good to me. Count it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Fair enough. VOTED YES.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Visibility bump.

Only nine votes so far. Although seven are for yes, and one of the big opponents of the track voted for "don't care." >_>

How ya doing, buddy?

I care. I am voting big time yes.

FELIPE NO

Search for the Lost Riff is VASTLY ELIGIBLE.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
