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

[MWPP]

lol 'Allan Quay' I see what you did there.

18 songs for me. 18 embedded and 18 when clicking on the list.

Weird, 19 for me when I click the list!

 

[MC Bad Genius]

OK - I've updated the problematic video with another link and that seems to have fixed it now.

 

[Drunkgoliath]

Found plugger, and coincidentally my Billy!
Thanks Plugger35

 

[MC Bad Genius]

Just a quick update after some of the early votes have come through:

• We have two stand-outs so far, sitting on 18 and 17 votes (one of the songs has only had one person NOT vote for it!)
• There's a Billy leader, but it's a VERY open race at the moment
• Only one set of donuts left to be eaten and they're mine

 

[MC Bad Genius]

Just under 2 hours left to vote. Time to name and shame!

Stokey / raskolnikov / TubbsFarquhar / Pick

You've gotta know I purposefully waited until someone posted this, right?

 

[MC Bad Genius]

OK, here we go with the #SongContestResults

Thankfully there were NO disqualifications this round. Even I managed to remember to vote, but that didn't really make a lick of difference, because in stone cold last place is your host with the most (only figuratively speaking).

19th - MC Bad Genius
The Cruel Sea – “No Choice” (4 votes, 1 Billy)

18th - por_please_ya
Philadelphia Grand Jury – “Sugar In My Diet” (4 votes, 0 Billies)

How did I get burned twice in the first (and possibly only) time I’ll get to host this damn thing? You bastards have no soul.

David Bowie – “Song For Bob Dylan” (19 votes, 0 Billies)

=4th - SM
Led Zeppelin – “The Battle Of Evermore” (19 votes, 0 Billies)

Mine is in front because it doesn't have Evermore in it.

 

[MC Bad Genius]

So by my count (and I REALLY hope I haven't screwed this up), we've got 3 songs left from (in alphabetical order):

GreyCrow
Jazny
omgfridge

Get ready GreyCrow and omgfridge

 

[SM]

But it has Bob Dylan in it.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

GC = Blues Brothers
omgfridge = Spoon
Jazny = Hania Rani

 

[MC Bad Genius]

In a welcome return to the Song Contest, we have what I think is one of the more beautiful songs I've heard across any of the 100-odd contests I've been involved in:

3rd - Jazny
Hania Rani – “Glass” (29 votes, 0 Billies)

And followed up by one of the great scenes in movie history, when Ray Charles schools the Blues Brothers about the action left in that vintage Rhodes electric piano. Hot damn I wish I could play like that!

2nd - GreyCrow
Blues Brothers & Ray Charles – “Shake A Tail Feather” (31 votes, 0 Billies)

Which means .................................
