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

[MC Bad Genius]

Love just putting the playlist on the tv when the opportunity arises, sitting down and sharing a wine with the missus to listen.
We’ve nearly had punch ons over the votes

My wife nearly punches on because she hates the song contest haha. I've taken to listening on headphones while she's zoning out with whatever crappy reality TV show is making her forget about the stresses of life.

Well, I'm really happy there. My love for GLP/B is well known and my only goal was getting them a win. A great song. They are now retired by me, probably.

New theme will be the following:

Literature

Song title or artist can be a reference to a work of literature ie a book. If done before then meh, it's a deep theme.

No former podiums.

[The Filth Wizard]

DaRick was leading from a long way out too.

Great 90's band JTG, IIRC they wrote this (or the next album) supporting The Smashing Pumpkins on the Melon Collie tour of the USA. Worth looking up more.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

As for my nom, it's one of my fav ever songs and the reason for my theme.

I've listened to it a million times and was under pressure getting the house ready for an inspection and doing the playlist and just chose one that came up on YouTube without listening to it.

Ah well. My mistake.

 

[GreyCrow]

I'd be pretty keen to hear what everyone's top 5 discoveries have been from the song contest.

The recent contest where I found 2 groups to listen to more

First Aid Kit

Chevy Thunder by Spector

 

[Jazny]

5. Even though I'm a woman - simple and good song! Not much more to say TubbsFarquhar
4. Jerry was a Race car driver - Whatever is happening with that bass is pretty cool and weird. Interesting effect but the singer is a little annoying Ulahoopski
3. Roxeanne - Iconic! Nice song but I heard it so many times so I can't give it more than 3. DaRick
2. Great Waves - I felt like it took me to a nice place. GreyCrow
1. Guten tag hop clop - I always struggle to find a 5th song I like, I felt this was billy-bait so I voted for it instead! Purple7x08_24
Billy: ZZ Top - Not for me eth-dog

Probably the people driving the cars around me when I increased the volume as Pavarotti started

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Switching off for the night, gang... will start accepting in the morning.

Come off it, grandma... Next thing you'll be nominating Andre Rieu

The reason why I billied "Nessun Dorma" is that it's played out, clichéd and BORING

We've all heard it a thousand times before.... in elevators... in supermarkets... for breakfast cereal ads... ads for haemorrhoid creams

How about nominating a song by Three Tenors that isn't 'Nessun Dorma' ?

Or is that the only one you know?

1. Spiderbait - It's Beautiful - Riviat (after a few billies, you're back in my votes!)

Billy: Muse - Neuron Star Collision - Jazny (I feel guilty because you gave me 5, but this was the moment I realised Muse turned crap. I liked most of their stuff up until this)

Thanks for hosting Jack The Godfather

I nearly missed your 9pm deadline. Wrongly assumed we had until 10pm

Had I realised, I would've got my votes in bit earlier.
