YOu get on runs and then go cold. Think Riviat has 1/5 podiums but a lot of wins. Im about 1/5.2

EltonJohnswig had 1/4 podiums but looking at their list its mostly bangers

Looking at mine, I appear to have the runs, not go on them...

 

[myblueroan]

I'm going for the dream of winning with an obscure but fabulous song.
Failing quite spectacularly so far.
Might have to go back to London Grammar.

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Hah just kidding it’s good to get a few votes but I’ll just stick to my faves ta

Someone at the gym i know who, today played all your olden golden favorites. It was grossely inappropriate

 

[Loonerty]

Someone help me.

This song previously won so not eligible this round, but the first first 30 seconds sounds incredibly familiar. Can someone tell me where I might have herad this in another song.

It's got the same strumming pattern. Almost identical

Unless I've heard it on tv, or or somewhere like that.

It's in some insurance company ad

 

[Riviat]

Sheesh, you weren't kidding.
That's absolutely filthy, Riviat !

I feel dirty just looking at that. Will try and not let it happen again

 

[Purple7x08_24]

If you could let me know that would be awe. I need closure. Im certain it must ve the actual song. Although someone nommed a song not long ago and it reminded me of The Irrepressibles.

You giving us some Laufey this round?

I won with something obscure last week and with George Sviridov but the other 6 were all bangers.

I don't know what company it was, it just is from an insurance ad I'm pretty sure.
Definitely an ad recently.

Yep. Definitely. For a minute it reminded me of a tv show intro or outro...but couldn't nail which one. Frustrating.

Could just be something similar. The guitar has a similar feel to Somebody I used to know so that could be confusing me. The vocals sound familiar but I could be mixing and matching from other songs

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Wow her voice is amazing.

I am 90% sure you are thinking of this:


It's not the same song but is extremely close.
It might be in another ad as well though.

Thanks. It might even be gnbc add.

This was getting in the way for me. It's not really like it but that's my brain vault for ya

 

[myblueroan]

And there's a Fleetfoxes song it's reminding me of too.

 

[Riviat]

Can you give me the correlation coefficient between length of song and success for Riviat?

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Oh, I'm sure everyones Dyyyying to have you host again.

 

[Dinsdale]

Oh, I'm sure everyones Dyyyying to have you host again.

Please don't just make up words, anarchy awaits.

I have an absolute killer theme next time I win.

 

[1990crow]

Time to rap up the playlist.
When will the comp runner rock up.
I'll pop in shortly.

 

[spudmaster]

Nobody understands those numbers

It's like being at work all over again then [and I know very well you're winding me up!]
Number of rounds contested.
Number of times finishing in position #1
Percentage of rounds played finishing first.

Can you give me the correlation coefficient between length of song and success for Riviat?

Sure, once you provide the length on each and every one of his songs, wise-ass!
