Song Contest Part XVI, Host: ???, Theme:???, Noms Due: ???

[Ulahoopski]

In honour of my impending entry into the Hall of Legends for competing in 50 rounds in a row, it is only right that we have a round that is close to my heart. I was pretty clear about it coming up too when my inevitable victory was still impending, so here it is. To my knowledge we have never, not even once, had a round dedicated to a single band or artist.

That changes now, as we honour Australia's greatest ever band (fact).

The theme for this round is MIDNIGHT OIL.

The song you nominate must be a song performed by Midnight Oil, the band. No covers of their stuff, nothing by a side or solo project of one of the members.

The following songs are not permitted due to being previous podiums/having been nominated twice or more: Beds Are Burning (4 nominations), Don't Wanna Be the One (1 win), Dreamworld (1 win, 2 nominations), Short Memory (2 nominations), Sleep (2 nominations), The Dead Heart (1 podium, 2 nominations), The Power and the Passion (1 win, 2 nominations) and When the Generals Talk (1 podium). Any other song of theirs is fair game.

Noms due 10 PM AWST (1 AM Tuesday AEDT) as I will be elsewhere earlier in the evening and I'm not getting on BF early the next day just for you eastern staters.

I look forward to the spreadsheet being filled with many more Oils songs for future generations to appreciate.

Everything a theme shouldn't be. Pass.

 

[Noobz0r]

Phew, glad I got in early.

 

[por_please_ya]

Ok. I take that back.

Only midnight oil?! Really?!

The next round would've been #shorts if people had taste.

Indeed, if we can't nom Backsliders....

 

[por_please_ya]

I know very few of their songs and the ones I do know I can't nom lmao

 

[The Speaker]

Phew, glad I got in early.

You are a credit to the contest.

Even genre themes allow for some diversity. A band theme? Not even a band's songs theme? Next level alright. Subterranean.

I'm sure you're clever enough to spend a few minutes searching for some songs of theirs.

Please reconsider.

How about songs referencing birds?

Nom something from their Bird Noises EP.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

If a shitload of people don't enter only leaving about 10 noms, then at least no one will ever come up with theme dedicated to a band again.

 

[por_please_ya]

Lol I am actually in it's unbelievable.

 

[The Speaker]

Some cracking noms in already

 

[NinjaSwan]

Getting mixed signals about whether my nom was accepted.

I've probably spammed all of them.

They are excellent BTW.

I wonder if the kids playing along at home can figure out whether a cover of a disallowed song would be accepted or not

 

[William Wonka]

I for one would like to applaud The Speaker for this exciting innovation.

I was wondering where I was going to go with my next round...

I'm glad a man of invention like yourself can appreciate this new direction.
