[Loonerty]

A target that it's probably gonna miss.

Que?

 

[Bet on Blue]

Que?

Paraphrasing a line from First Date

 

[Back One Out]

Has there ever been a podium comprised of three 60s tunes ?

And they weren't songs by Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Doors, Hendrix, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Dylan, Neil Young, Beach Boys or The Who. They weren't classic soul/Motown tunes either.

2 crooners and 1 rock ballad

I'm amazed they received 25% of the votes with so many other decent rock songs on the playlist.

 

[Back One Out]

That was the first time a blink-182 song has finished outside the top 10

I think we're all growing up. Our tastes are becoming more refined.

Hail Song Contest!

 

[Plugger35]

I think I've only nommed a couple of 60s songs so I'm hoping this love for 60s music doesn't last.

You'll never walk alone was always going to do well. The ties to Liverpool meant it would attract votes. Got my 5 for that reason.

Got my Billy for that reason

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Got my Billy for that reason

Yeah I expected that too. Actually thought it would win both to be truthful.

 

[DroopStDanny]

26 noms in. I'll start putting them up now if nobody has any objections.

Yeah I expected that too. Actually thought it would win both to be truthful.

It's not a bad song on its own but the Liverpool connection does tarnish it for me. I feel exactly the same way about Never Tear Us Apart and I'm pretty sure I billied that when it was nommed.

[TubbsFarquhar]

My first choice (Wuthering Heights) was taken so I assumed this was going to be as well:

 

[Plugger35]

Surprised Dire Straits Romeo and Juliet wasn't nommed although it's an obvious bote whore that's been nommed before.

I also considered nomming this song but it doesn't really refer to the Shakespeare play that it's named after.

 

[Loonerty]

Original thought was this, but as it was written for a movie it didn't count:


Absolutely beautiful song though.

Similar to this song, it's not about the book in the Bible despite being in the title.

 

[Back One Out]

Iron Maiden's retelling of the Samuel Taylor Coleridge epic about a bunch of doomed sailors, an albatross, Life and Death.
Thought the song may have been a bit long to sustain the Dongksters' interest, but it's one of Maiden's best.

 

[Smeg Head]

Similar to this song, it's not about the book in the Bible despite being in the title.

Cost yourself 5 botes.

 

[Back One Out]

I thought someone would've nommed this…


The Diary Of Anne Frank
