BOTES DUE WEDNESDAY 10PM AEDT

 

[the fly]

I listen to Spotify but only on long road trips. At home I just listen to YouTube. I have Wrapped but it doesn't seem to have that page for me. Maybe I don't listen to it enough.

I don't even get it because my phone is a dinosaur that doesn't support the mobile app.

5	Le Matos	La Mer des Possibilités	Never in doubt, Worakls vibes, MP_
4	Tesla	Corvad	Destiny vibes, insane feels omgfridge (Thanks for the billy)
3	Alice Cooper	You and Me	Chilled, Easy Listening, raskolnikov
2	Tal Wilkenfield	Killing Me	confusing, I usually like complex songs, , but off beat syncopation is a little uncomfortable Fossie 32
1	Burial	Raver	Not as good as the other electronic songs, not feeling it as much endure
B	Raye	Escapism	Overly loud bass, autotune takes away from the vocals and is too distracting

Two votes is infinitely more than I got from most people Love some of her stuff

#songcontestupdate

6 people have boted, and two songs have skyrocketed to the top, hoping for glory and more speakers of their language. They are already on 14 votes apiece!

Coming closely in 3rd is one lovely language on 12 botes.

Each 6 who boted chose a different billy, too! Obviously no stand-out billy as yet...

There are still two donuts to be eaten, and three songs have billies but no botes...

Very early days in this language race!

How things change. Found this in the previous thread

I did not do well when I nommed that, and I still think that was scandalous. I think it's almost impossible to win with a Beatles song because people almost always discount them for votes.

Had a trivia contest tonight where one of the questions was who sung the song "World In Motion" and I remembered it from my WC themed round.

Guess it was valuable after all.

That's easy for me because I love the band haha! Love it

I remember at a quiz night the question was "Who sang the song 'Fade To Grey'" and I was like "VISAGE!" and everyone on the table looked at me like I'd grown two heads lmao. Most were around my age, but guess they didn't grow up with 80s new wave like me XD

I only had a faint memory of it but I remembered the video clip from my round. Since the intro to the question was something along the lines of "You wanted a WC themed question.." I had it my head already.

A good bonus question would've been "which former England international performed a guest rap verse?"

Funny you mention bonus questions, another question was a clip of a trailer for a new Netflix show (Wednesday), with a bonus point for the song in the trailer (Paint It Black), Purple7x08_24 might be a bit upset that I knew that answer so well.
