Song Contest Part XXII, Host: por_please_ya, Theme: Who, What, When, Where, Why, How, Noms Due: Thursday 10pm AEDT Time

[TubbsFarquhar]

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.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

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 guessed this one!~

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Oh, and beaten by Air Supply?!

 

[Ocha905]

Oh, and beaten by Air Supply?!

That was my Billy. Way too sappy even for me. Suspect it’s the divisive one.

 

[Tonga Bob]

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.

[por_please_ya]

If it had been Making Love Out Of Nothing At All it would have been billied.

 

[Tonga Bob]

So that leaves us with a podium of DemurePrincess Freofalcon and por_please_ya

 

[Dinsdale]

Good,didn't win

 

[Tonga Bob]

In 3rd place is a song that came from the clouds but just fell a bit short, on 26 votes and nil billies (555422111) is Build Me Up Buttercup by The Foundations, as nominated by DemurePrincess

[Tonga Bob]

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.

Y'all are lucky that I didn't give myself bonus votes for the double banger (Love in the artist name & title).

Here's a newer remix of it which absolutely slaps, but nominated the classic Jam & Spoon remix as that was the one that took me back to Days of Yore.
