Don't Eat The Yellow Snow by Frank Zappa
Nommed by Chappyuk

Not in a million years would I have picked that as your nom

 

[largebus]

I regret not Billying singing in the rain

 

[LiterallyNobody]

5 - down in the flood - great track. The guitar solo at the end of this was tucking sick. Good to see el dub go from my billy to my five.
4 - dry the rain - loved the build up this had. Really enjoyable song. Started off a bit mellow but still intriguing.
3 - don’t work at yellow snow suite - frank zappa is just a crazy and eccentric bastard and I wouldn’t have him any other way.
2 - butterflies and hurricanes - one of the best tracks from the last decent muse album (bhar was “ok”)
1 - it never rains in Southern California - no idea why this one resonated with me so well but it was a really great song.

Hm - only happy when it rains (pretty sure I’ve voted for this before - great song but above were better)
Here comes the rain again (Annie Lennox. I mean. Need I say more? I love the strings in this)
Franz Ferdinand - Ulysses (great track even if it sounded a little mainstream)
Vaughan Monroe - Let it Snow (expected this to be my billy. But his beautiful baritone voice saved it. Was quite pleasant)
Snow Patrol - crack the shutters (surprisingly good song for this band I frankly don’t think much of)
Singing in the rain - impossible not to smile as you watch this dick head literally running around in the pouring rain.
Ccr - who’ll stop the rain (best of the whores. I can see this winning)
I can see clearly - I love this song. Though this version is ok it’s not as good as the cover. Yeah I said it. Fight me.

Dishonourable mentions - boring dull shit from something for Kate (sorry marklar), smashing pumpkins, bob Dylan (no shocker there), the tide is high (one of my least favourite blonde songs), Leonard Cohen(yeah he’s a dead campaigner - so what. I find him almost as dull as Dylan. Sue me)
Also no rain. Tried to whore with that song but would never vote for it. Pos.
Oh yeah and ****ing Peter Gabriel who came so mother****ing close to my billy. That song ate penis.
And a bunch of others.

Billy - the end of the rainbow (the second half of this playlist was awfully disappointing save for the above two I voted for but this was probably the most dull and unlikaeble song)

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Damn that would have been funny as hell lol

No, it wouldn't have
