[MP_]

May the paper daisy I give you be white and not one of the glorious other colours I have , yes friends still

 

[Freofalcon]

For pretty much the whole contest, Une Femme Amoureuse by Mireille Mathieu which was nominated by Freofalcon led all comers, and finished on 33 votes & 1 billy (5554433211B).

However, in the very last of the 26 set of votes to land in my inbox it was overtaken by More Than A Woman by The Bee Gees, which received 34 votes & 1 billy (54444333211B)! One single vote in it, and who said democracy is dead!!!!!! So give it up for the Love Parade winner - por_please_ya

And I'm done before 10pm, so everyone's kicking goals. Turning in now.

Thank ****

3. Bee Gees - More Than a Woman por_please_ya
2. Finley Quaye - Dice Ocha905

[por_please_ya]

And yes what's, where's, who's, etc will count

 

[spinynorman]

****, I almost nominated Babs’ Woman in Love and then a French karaoke version was runner up??

My votes:

5. Daniel Johnston - True Love Will Find You in the End MC Bad Genius
4. The Shangri-Las - Leader of the Pack Dinsdale
3. Bee Gees - More Than a Woman por_please_ya
2. Age of Love - The Age of Love Tonga Bob
1. The Foundations - Build Me Up Buttercup DemurePrincess

Billy. Air Supply - All Out of Love raskolnikov

 

[Plugger35]

The moral podium position is the aforementioned divisive song...

In 4th position with 25 votes & 8 billies (5544322BBBBBBBB) is the appropriately titled All Out Of Love by Air Supply, as nominated by raskolnikov

If instead of the original version you had've entered the version from the self-proclaimed Best Cover Band In The World then you would have had all of my votes.



But instead you get the Billy for this round, so please enjoy the cover of Me First And The Gimme Gimmes Go Down Under EP as your avatar, on which the song features.

I considered nomming that Air Supply song myself, just as well I didn't, I dodged the Billy bullet.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

5: Didgedelik.
4: Chicken in the Corn. (Electro swing is it?)
3: The Age of Love. (As remixed by Jam and Spoon.)
2: Une Femme Amoureuse.
1: Put Your Records On.

B: All out of Love.

HB:

The Love You Find in the End.
Super Love.

Happy with this.

Despite its silliness, Chicken in the Corn goes hard with an electro swing remix.

The remix does it for me.

The Gong singlehandedly saving music festivals in Australia with the Yours and Owls lineup

Not really my thing, but my mate's band is playing so I can't completely pan it.

#liftyourgame

 

[Fossie 32]

I can already guess Fossie 32 nomination this round

 

[Ocha905]

In 15th position with 13 votes & nil billies (5422) is Dice by Finley Quaye & William Orbit, as nominated by Ocha905

Efa spudmaster (changed to Quaye instead of Quade)

 

[MC Bad Genius]

In 6th position with 22 votes & 1 billy (555421B) is True Love Will Find You In The End by Daniel Johnston, as nominated by MC Bad Genius

I'm genuinely surprised by that, but pleasantly surprised. This was the first song that we played to my daughter when she was born (one day old in the hospital), so it's always going to hold a very special place in my heart.

And I think knowing Daniel's story makes the naivety of some of his songs that little bit more tragic. As it turns out, true love didn't really find him. I can't recommend the documentary about him - The Devil & Daniel Johnston - highly enough. Truly heartbreaking insight into a creative life so impacted by mental illness.

I almost nominated this live version, because it brought me to tears watching him:



I saw him play a few times around the time of this video and it was just so hard to watch.

Ha, I looked up Daniel Johnston on RYM and saw the cover art of "Hi, How Are You: The Unfinished Album" and knew it looked familiar.

Yeah, the version with more views had that graphic as the background, so I had to find a different version to maintain at least some anonymity!

5 - Daniel Johnston - True Love Will Find You MC Bad Genius - cover of this was released recently in a surfy style by an English bloke called Crybaby. Might like it - might think it's sacrilege

Both! If I didn't know the original, I'd definitely like that one even more though!

 

[the fly]

Build Me Up Buttercup is a strange one for me with the juxtaposition of the lyrics and the music.

 

[por_please_ya]

A couple of people need to re-nom ..... Toump Ass MP_ ....

 

[por_please_ya]

Well.... if anyone wants to join feel free to send me a nom and I'll add it in the end somewhere.

But here's the list Sorry, no time to put them out individually!

Enjoy!
