Because it's you hosting, I seriously considered it. But because the them is YouTube Kids, I just can't. YouTube Kids is a horrific invention and it drives me nuts when my girls are watching it. I can't put myself through even more of it.

Viva La Vida - Coldplay - Karolina Protsenko & Daniele Vitale Sax - Violin Cover


Here is her version on Youtube

 
This is my first win in a year, albeit that win was a back-to-back one and I've been in/out of the contest
2 of the 3 themes I've been waiting on for ages have been done recently. A very special thanks to @spudmaster and @Ocha905 for Christmas and Indian Lote respectively
So that leaves the third theme I've been sitting on for years

Theme - YouTube Kids
Nominate a song with a youtube clip of a song that’s from YouTube Kids
No previous nominations
Nominations due 11pm AEST Thursday 04/09/25
And by the way, if people think that abstaining is going to prove a point, if I win, we'll be having an "Indian Lote songs about Christmas from Youtube Kids" round next.
You think you know spite? I'll show you spite!

If I knew Alvin and the Chipmunks were eligible I might have thrown my hat in the ring.

Chipmunk Punk was the first album that I got as a kid for Xmas.

There were some bangers on that album, it was all killer no filler.



I loved that album as a kid but needless to say it hasn't aged well.

I’ve enjoyed the last few themes relative to others - it’s been good to have some different sorts of noms and see what some posters have done with the theme. Interested to see the sort of playlist that transpires.

Also, as someone who only won after a year and a half relatively recently, happy for the host to do whatever she wants. A free for all theme would be a big waste of an opportunity after a long drought imo.
I'm all for hosts going for what they want, but there also has to be the consideration that a group of grown-ups (presumably) probably aren't going to fancy a list of songs effectively aimed at pre-schoolers.

Was aiming to make my return this week, with a bunch of fantastic new music to unleash on everyone.
But the theme smells worse than an anchovies armpit.
See you all on Sunday night.

This doesn't help, spud :mad:

I didn't enter a nom because I thought the rule was that it could only be on YouTube Kids, not main YouTube. However, I'm pretty sure a lot of these noms are. Wonky Donkey for sure. I play it at least once a week for my class.

I think it would have been better just as a kids songs round, without the YouTube Kids stipulation. I had hundreds of noms ready to go.

I have been waiting on this theme for years. Not for preschoolers. For me, and for everyone who is young at heart. Palindromes only pipped it the last time I both won and hosted because at least we have had a Disney round albeit that was in my very early days of the competition. Conversely we had never had a round similar to palindromes.

Music from kids’ shows and movies is great.
I actually have a long list of songs that I’ve wanted to nominate but felt that I couldn’t since they aren’t addable onto a playlist. This recurring issue is what inspired this theme. It was an opportunity to nominate songs that might otherwise never be nominated due to being downvoted as the one song external to the list, and turn the usually annoying inability to add to a list as a once-off positive/even requirement.

I’m ok with people abstaining for any reason. I myself am frequently in/out of the contest for one reason or another and always have been. Guaranteed top 10 is a bonus. In any case I have surgery this morning so a short round is a good round as that means more recovery time not to mention finals watching time. There’s a fair chance I would’ve skipped the round had I not been host but entered as I was able to listen as they came in but this turned out even better. Thank you to those who did enter. I really enjoyed your songs. It’s going to be hard enough to narrow my votes down to 5 and pick a billy as it is. Quality over quantity.

For those of you who were rejected (with the most common reason being that it was addable to a playlist and didn’t flag as kids/family content)- I hope you nominate them in other rounds as most would get votes from me most rounds.

I considered this but decided against because:
-it’s much closer to a redux
-it doesn’t address what inspired this theme in the first place
-many actual kids’ songs would be ineligible
-people would try and sneak through more mature tunes and give a nebulous link

I didn’t want any of those things

Aww . No, if anything it was the opposite. I didn’t accept YT Kids since those links aren’t shareable. Hence a YouTube clip of a song on YouTube kids.

I suspect most of your songs ready to go would’ve been eligible (or at least the most commonly played track would’ve been eligible).
 
Sitting and waiting.

I can feel the electricity buzzing in the air such as the tension. Nervous as hell, let's do this!
I was supporting the Crows before the game but the Crows fans booing Quaynor for having a homophobic slur used against him make me kind of glad they lost. I just have to hope Pies lose the PF now.
 
You can find songs that are adult/kid worthy. I found one

Yeah, I just don't enjoy searching through lists purely to find something to nom, if that makes sense?

I have a huge library of tunes I love that I'm constantly adding to, and like the process finding one I love to fit a theme - but scanning through a list of Beatles artists/previously nommed/kids songs to offer up a choice feels like a token effort, if that makes sense?

They're perfectly valid themes and good ideas, just not for me.
