Song Contest Part VII, Host: Sepp Blatter, Theme: Ashes, Noms Due: Sunday 7:00pm ACDT

[Smeg Head]

Both of you idiots go and sit in the corner already.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

The worst result I've copped is almost getting the billy for a New Order classic, but oh well.

 

[Back One Out]

Nominated these legendary NZedders for the Nations Cup in Round 107 and got 42 votes.

Finally a victory after 44 contests! (boatwhored)

 

[Plugger35]

I'll probably cop 0 votes and 5 billies for my song in this round now I've said that.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Prediction:

10 votes, 2 billies.

I'm just proving to Ulahoopski what a nob he is for saying the genre & era sucked

 

[The Filth Wizard]

I'll probably cop 0 votes and 5 billies for my song in this round now I've said that.

I fear my first Billy.

 

[CakeEater]

Please dont make me wait any longer for the results, I may have to do some work in a minute.

 

[El Dubya]

Nominated this for Round 78 (Bands/artists from Europe)
Finished 2nd with 28 votes, 1 billy

What a song! Timeless 80s classic. How did I not win?
Robbed/beaten by Eagle-Eye Cherry's Save Tonight

Save Tonight is putrid.

 

[Back One Out]

Nominated The Cure's first single for Round 122 (Murder)
A song based on Albert Camus' existential novel, The Stranger. Probably more post-punk than new wave.
Finished 5th with 23 votes


I prefer the original 1979 version of "Boys Don't Cry" to the 1986 re-recording which was on this round's playlist

I nominated it for Round 184 (Movie Titles) and won with 32 votes

 

[Plugger35]

I fear my first Billy.

I was a Billy virgin for a long time and broke it with this song which was another disgraceful result.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Save Tonight is putrid.

It's a good song... Though extremely suprised it's won a round here.

 

[NinjaSwan]

Speaking of songs that underperformed, I was looking at the spreadsheet and I can't believe this song got only 4 votes.

It's one of if not the best song off one of the best albums of all-time.

Sometimes you seem mildly tasteful. This is not one of those times.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

I fear my first Billy.

If I win my first billy here I'll melt.

Billy is meaningless now. People have ruined it by trying too hard and obsessing over virgins. One More Time didn't deserve a Billy, Calvin Harris did. Sufjan Stevens should be Billied too.

[NaturalDisaster]

oh wow.... it was average, but didn't deserve the billy.

 

[Back One Out]

One of the few Cure songs I really like.

They were a good singles band who 'did a Church', left the pop scene behind, didn't worry about 'hits' and concentrated on making albums they liked
