Song Contest Part XXII, Host: raskolnikov, Theme: Russian Literature, Noms Due: Thursday 9:30pm AEDT Time

[DemurePrincess]

I have a passionate 5, a solid 4 and 3, reaching at 2 and then really struggled for 1.

I also struggled with a Billy, to be honest - not because I hated that much, but because I thought most things were underwhelming.

I didn't feel sick but pretty sure I briefly fell asleep at work listening.

Seemed appropriate

 

[omgfridge]

Just DemurePrincess spudmaster & TubbsFarquhar to vote. Will see how we go with posting results on time as I assume bigfooty will be cooked tonight.

Billy is locked in.

Very tight on top with the leader on 24 and two songs on 23.

Hopefully made up for billying me last week. I love perafida and been listening to every day.

At least I got one thing right last week!

Beautiful tune though, hey. I first came across it watching Days of Being Wild, if you want a film that puts the music to images (has a couple of Cugat tunes on the soundtrack).

[spinynorman]

Wow, I almost had top five back to front in my votes.

5. Cerrone - Supernature MP_
4. Mark Ronson - Late Night Feelings JHF1870 hope this makes up for last week!
3. Travis - Sing TubbsFarquhar
2. Gorillaz - PAC Man raskolnikov
1. Celeste - This Is Who I Am omgfridge

Billy. Disturbed - Stricken Ocha905 didn't actually mind it but I struggled to choose and I remembered how much I hated their cover of The Sound of Silence and so went with this.

Supernature is the soundtrack to the opening dance scene in Climax - probably the best modern dance scene I've seen in a film.

Ok. Not bad for a Google nom.

Great minds, first thing I said when he nommed it

View attachment 2170788

Yeah I saw that while living in London in a cinema in Soho.

Thirty minutes in I thought "As soon as I leave here I'm going to a club around the corner."

By the time it finished I went home and went to bed.
