Song Contest Part XIX, Host: GreyCrow, Theme: Free For All, Votes Due: Wednesday, 10pm AEDT

[SaintBilly]

Oh and I was at the hospital this arvo and constantly getting votes in pms and I was like "ohhhhh shit, no I don't want to win" - it was nice to get magnificent seven streak up to three but I didn't want to win coz I had no theme. I was absolutely no chance of winning or even podiuming until the late votes started pouring in - until I recounted at the end, I even thought I might have snuck a win so when I opened the post from the fly and saw my billy I was so excited to not win that I marked the billy but not the votes. It was only when I realised I didn't have the right number of votes I was like oh **** I missed his votes.

In the end it didn't matter coz he didn't vote for either song that finished first. I made up that his votes changed the winner to buy more time because I was so disorganised - I am notorious for having long vote counts - partially because I'm such a self-indulgent twat I have to put comments for every song.

I didn't want to put excuses until after the end as I just wanted to get the results up. Sorry for the deceit but I knew if I told you all why it was taking so long at the end you'd understand. Or maybe you wouldn't. **** it.

So many 80s songs to choose from

Ok, I just won with God is in the Radio, so let's go with a theme to do with radio.

Media

Song, artist, lyrical content can all be associated with a form of media. Radio, television, internet, newspaper, films, mobile etc.

Restrictions:

• No previous podiums
• No songs nommed after round 400
• No artist double-ups
• No songs nommed more than once

AND, a rule just for this round to experiment

NO BILLIES.

All you have to do is send in your 5-4-3-2-1. It'll likely just be a one-off thing, but, hey, I think it's worth a try.

Noms due 10pm AEST tomorrow.

I hope you don’t equate “the best ones” with the finishing order?!?

What? I'm not a sheep. I've made that abundantly clear. I might have a rough ordered list of 9 songs.
This is how I started on the first round of listens

Just had a dream I went through the spreadsheet and i just discovered Velvet Revolver and Fossie 32 nommed most of their songs and then I didnt want to nom them because they were no longer new to the group.

Also saw a section in the spreadsheet where album covers were added for one round haha but not for my song because it was too obscure.

Fossie would be the last person here to nom them, surely this should have been an example of lucid dreaming.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I'm also accepting tenuous links, just make sure you provide a justification for your nom.
