Greetings from the Critique Club };-)
Initial thoughts
Interesting composition, I must admit I'd never heard of The Ketchup Song, I guess it meets the challenge, focus is a bit strange
Composition/ Content
Since learning a little more about the Ketchup Dance at //www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/10/18/earlyshow/leisure/music/main526093.shtml I realize why the girls are in the background and what they are doing. I still don't understand the beercan however. It is hard to get something in the back of the shot that is on the outer edges of DOF to mean something but you did it here.
Background
Other than the unexplained beer can, the background works for this shot.
Camera Work - Technical
A bit too much glare on the Ketchup Bottle. Colors are good as is the front focus. You may have tried for a little more Depth of Field.
Digital Processing - Technical
Processing seems pretty good although you are only at 111kb of the allowed 150. That would help your sharpness a bit.
Fits The Challenge
It seems to now that I scouted around for the song.
My Opinion On The Photo
I originally scored this shot a five as did most of the voters. I think that it meets the challenge but was probably a song that not everyone knows enough about to understand the shot. It may be a bit busy for my tastes as well. Good job, and keep up the good work.
I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

It's a shame, but this photo does not appear correctly for me. The top 1/4 inch is in color, the rest in neon green. I don't think you meant that.... I saw this happen to one of my photos once after I used Save for Web in PhotoShop.
Very interesting composition. Ketchup and beer? |

Don't know the song but will take your word for it. Ketchup in good focus and best thing about the photo. Beer a little out of focus and don't understand what has to do with song. 2 girls in back way out of focus and really don't know what they have to do with song. The out of focus things are to outstanding and distracting, and hurt the photo too much, for me anyway. 4 PTL |

This looks like an ad (I mean that in a good way). |

I don't know the song, but the shot is interesting! I like those two kids in the background, seeming sort of expectant. Do they want their ketchup back? :-) |

Good God, the song isn't called "The Ketchup Song", it's called "Asereje"!
Besides that, it's a good picture... |
