Song Contest Part XVIII, Host: eth-dog, Theme: Worldvision, Votes Due: Sunday 11pm AEST

[William Wonka]

spookism Can I ask for special dispensation to award two billys please? Or maybe split them .5 each?

No one billies Muse quicker than me but Feelin Good is not the worst song on the list.

 

[Riviat]

Take note: there's 2 versions of "Love Will Tear Us Apart".

I read that as "Never tear us apart" then thought easy billy material as the Power have ruined that song for ever.

No but Please please please let me get what I want just may be.

Late nom from someone who has spent the last day wondering why I haven't been replying to them.
Turns out they nommed the song to themselves.

Names will be shamed at voting deadline

Not sure if the right thread...

Anyway the 2nd is where the fun is.

 

[GreyCrow]

Maybe the posting in the wrong thread is a symptom?

 

[William Wonka]

No but Please please please let me get what I want just may be.

No doubt

Drugs may be the only way to get through some of these songs.

He might be talking about Muse.

 

[spookism]

No doubt

Fun fact: This song would have qualified.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Fun fact: This song would have qualified.

The original of that came up on Rage the other day. It's bloody good.

 

[LiterallyNobody]

Just started listening. So far my five might be going to a nom I never thought I would ever give ANY votes let alone five. We’ll see how it stacks up.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Was a great song.
Mark Hollis always reminded me of an older version of Damon Albarn and just as talented.
I’ll always love Gwen but I could never get my head around that cover it just never felt right.

Putting this one is the cue rack for my next unexpected win.

Back to Future Theme.

Covers of songs from 1955 to 1985 released after 2000

No other restrictions due to the restrictions

Are we pretending that the Lead Belly version didn't exist?

 

[William Wonka]

And the rest.
'Traditional' folk number isn't it?

 

[the fly]

And the rest.

Indeed.

 

[Ulahoopski]

Explain your Joy Division aversion please.

*Goes without saying the covers will suck

Not a "crack at joy division" post.

Just a "saving SM from another DQ" post.

But since you're asking, how does one explain their aversion to the smell of a colostomy bag's output? Forget it - too difficult.

 

[eth-dog]

Take note: there's 2 versions of "Love Will Tear Us Apart".

Much to my displeasure...

 

[Plugger35]

I nommed that back in Round 132 for Originals Better Than A Famous Cover and it got just 8 votes and finished 19th, it also copped 2 billies.

Thanks friend, though I tend to vote by artist so muse are the bigger issue.
