Song Contest Part XXII, Host: por_please_ya, Theme: Boxing Day Test, Votes Due: Sunday 10pm AEDT

[DemurePrincess]

Man! I was so excited for this one…
Was gonna pump it while I work tomorrow but I’ve have a pre flick and seriously if any gym played this playlist… it would be empty! Such a shame

 

[Ocha905]

Please note the previously nommed song has been switched upon consultation with the contestant.

 

[raskolnikov]

I admit mine wasn't the best nom but most of my workout songs have been nommed before.

And this is why I don't like the no previous noms rule. A song which got 5 votes and 2 billies in a previous round may do much better in a workout round.

No previous podiums sure. The song has had its moment of glory and should be retired. No previous noms, especially with the large turnover of contestants recently, I'm not a fan of.

A Good Heart has been nommed before.

I was ready to billy it again.
Figure it got through as a slightly different version?
Though why you'd nom it again so soon is puzzling.

 

[spinynorman]

I actually think it’s a pretty good playlist?

Different strokes for different folks and all that. If it was an actual playlist of songs I’d hear at the gym, I’d probably struggle (until earlier this year for two years I lived across the road from a gym and so there’s a lot of songs I don’t need to hear for some time).

 

[Fossie 32]

Why is it always up to me to rescue things?

Bit of a toe tapper

 

[Fossie 32]

The theme is

"Nom a song you'd like to hear whilst at the gym/working out."

Not what other people would want to hear or what would be a good workout list.

This way at least we get to nomm a song we like right?

It's not really a workout song either so would have got my billy too. I think the nommer may have nommed it for the title. Workout and you'll have a good heart.

 

[raskolnikov]

Boted.

Yeah, couldn't imagine CrossFitting to most of these.

No, you have to nom a song which everyone else is happy with, otherwise you are wrong

 

[por_please_ya]

If you can't gym to my song, you're doing it wrong.

Ill be voting for the rap, heavy metal and that one deserving nostalgic dance tune. Ill be billying the song that worst fits the theme.

Also whats the point of setting a theme if people arent going to take it seriously or take a risk with a song outside your comfort zone. Not having a go at you Ocha905 its a theme i wanted to do also.

I Billied the heavy metal one because I can’t imagine it in any gym I know, while most of the others I could see in various gym classes.

People listen through headphones too

People listen through headphones too

By that logic every song is in the theme, because you’d pick music you like when you work out.

 

[DemurePrincess]

I kinda dig Electric Callboy! I swear I just did a hill climb twice and enjoyed it

 

[DemurePrincess]

Omg! I found my Billy! Make the screaming stop please

 

[DemurePrincess]

Omg! What is Jenny from the Block doing in the gym

 

[por_please_ya]

Not my song, but I reckon that'd be good for a Zumba workout. Not that I do Zumba, but

Love the way your were quick to say not my song

 

[Ocha905]

Well this has been a fun theme from a host standpoint. Plenty of strong opinions/melts.

Highlight so far has to be the DemurePrincess commentary whilst apparently doing a workout their vote should count double.

 

[DemurePrincess]

Tom Rosenthal has provided the wind down while I chew my protein ball bc that’s all he’s good for right now!

Clearly that nommer was thinking about going to the gym and then thought **** it… that whole cake looks so much better!

 

[UncleImpairedRetina]

Reckon people are a bit caught up in their own interpretation of what gym music is while not considering different perspectives.
