Song Contest Part IX, Host: NinjaSwan Theme: Summer. Jet Skis Due: 10PM AEDT Wensday

[ChappyUK]

I don't know, but the host is infallible.

He sure is.

 

[Bet on Blue]

And not a tv show about the real Italian mafia either, but fictional New Jersey bogans who claim Italian ancestry, much like Bruce Springsteen

 

[El Dubya]

I got the criteria wrong, making it harder for myself. In with one of my all time favourite songs which has shockingly not been nommed before.

 

[Agent93]

The theme I got isn’t my favourite either but I don’t hate it do I managed to nom something good.

Thinking I’ll get 5 votes from you campaigners.

Was your theme 90s dance tracks?

 

[RelaxMax]

If I had been a bit more strict with my rules, this would not have happened. You can dub me #worsthostever lol

From way out here, you've been a highly organised, informative and entertaining host

*goes back to catch up reading*

 

[Yakker]

when is cut off to have the song in?

 

[raskolnikov]

If I had participated this round somebody would have either got a 90s Eurodance theme or you would have to pick a song that won Eurovision. So aren't you all lucky.

Waterloo is a great song.

I think I heard noms come out Friday night. So you've got until then. Better off sooner rather than later!

 

[spookism]

And I've been convinced not to nom an Insta-Billy

 

[Yakker]

thanks.

I would assume when there is just one theme it would be in our best interests to get in early lest someone else have the same song, this round however it would seem less likely.

But I do have a song ready and I think it's decent. Time will tell I guess

 

[por_please_ya]

Waterloo is a great song.

Indeed!

They used to have a language rule, and I wish it was still enforced as mainly English songs win these days

Holy crap, I just realised that CakeEater nommed a Eurovision song :O "In 1958, Domenico Modugno finished third with the song "Nel blu, dipinto di blu".
I let you down mate and didn't even vote for you lol.

[William Wonka]

[CakeEater]

I grew up listening to songs by BCR because my mum loves them!

This is my personal favourite:

I think we have a Plugger35 alias here.

 

[Agent93]

I think we have a Plugger35 alias here.

Sounds like I can GAGF as well. Offensive little alias we have here.

When do we start the book on how long it takes for Yakker to nom the BCF ad song?

GreyCrow would object. BCFing fun.

This is my personal favourite:

My sister went to their concert in Adelaide around 1976. She would always wear her little tartan mini skirt and had their posters up in her room and sing their crap songs into her hair brush.

Then she would bash the crap outta me for calling them Bay City Toilet Rolls.



Good times hahahaaa

 

[William Wonka]

I was going to reply "Not half as embarrassing as the shit people vote for..."

Lo and behold, 14 people vote for The Sopranos theme

Oh gee it's that song from my favourite tv show!!! Awsum!!! 3 votes!!

Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

Am I? I have no issues and have submitted a theme, just explaining why so many are likely to sit out.

If anything it is looking like record numbers.
If I HADN'T let people submit themes themselves I have a suspicion a few more might have sat out simply because Im hosting...

So last round in a nutshell. Bruce Springsteen's Italian heritage was deemed to be a tenuous link to the theme and yet the winning song's only link to Italy was that it was used in a TV show about the Mafia.

Ask the next five people you meet.
"Whats more Italian, Bruce Springsteen or the Mafia?"

Apparently several asked to choose my theme, knowing Wonka he would have gone with the best option for melts. If this was the best option, you're all seriously weak minded.

Your theme was not picked to get the most melts.
More to stop you or others getting threadbanned.

This.

Wtf?
Your theme was chosen at random from someone who sent in a half dozen themes.

Have we had a 'songs from ads' theme yet?
