I don't think YouTube views are a particularly good indicator, like for example pretty much any somewhat known hip-hop artist will have a huge number of views because it's popular with young people worldwide, but it generally won't fare that well here.

It falls just short of being a whore for me. A whore is like Rocket Man in the last playlist. Or any Radiohead song.

SO you would support a Aussie Hip Hop round then?

As long as we keep the 360 to a minimum.

What's a whore? And well known song and alot of people like?

Highly disrespectful term to all the sluzzas out there I suppose.

I've also considered the ethics of using it as a descriptor. Chastity Belt wrote a good song about the use of "****" as an insult. I think it's okay because it's the combination of "vote" and "whore" which makes it an insult.

Similar to "attention whore". That being said, I'm in a relationship, so at the current stage I can't speak for those who identify as whores. If anyone here identifies as a whore and doesn't like its use here, I'm open to coining new phrase. I was already going to take such measures upon the creation of my formula to better encompass the intention of the phrase.

I agree with this which is where the need for a formula to dictate these things becomes necessary.

Anyone know how to delete a song from existence.
Dear god this is awful

 

[SSwans2011]

I have always had a love hate relationship with that song. His voice is incredible, they keyboard and and guitar is great.

But that bridge.... AHHHHH

I wish they felt inclined to leave it out

It does detract from the track a bit. A virtually perfect pop song without it.

 

[Dzhimara]

Hoos do you find being called a whore disrespectful? We need to know if it's kosher. As a whore, you know the lingo.

I'm facing an ETHICAL DILEMMA, ladies and gentlemen. I do enjoy Itchycoo Park. It's one of my favourites of that early psychedelic rock, and the album it belongs to is probably one of the best psychedelic rock albums of the period full stop.

But I am unsure as to whether or not it is a whore. I was of the belief that it is pretty widely known, but the stream counts suggest otherwise. This information could decide how many votes it receives from me and it is driving me mad. These are truly concerning times.

Hmmm. I think it's a great song (although nowhere near their best) and that's all I go by. Is it a whore? Possibly, but that's okay sometimes.

It's me. Itchycoo Park is eating me alive. May have to give it votes AND billy it for the discomfort it has caused me.

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

PM it to The Jesus

I've done alright without help thank you
