Song Contest Part XVI, Host: ???, Theme:???, Noms Due: ???

[TubbsFarquhar]

Can we do a Mental as Anything round next?

I don't want to do band themes too many times.

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

Yeah I got directed to that and put it down for bulk votes but then remembers I wasn't on a SC playlist.
That happened about 8 times.

You'll come around

It's got such a great build up

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

It's got such a great build up

Within the scope of this round, yes.

 

[The Speaker]

In fact, it should be a requirement that everyone who applies to be a citizen has to watch the entire Oils on Water concert.

 

[GreyCrow]

Just a bit.

I was talking about this the other day- he was 63 but he probably lived through a boat load of stuff in that 63

It's interesting but I always felt Greedy was quite happy having a cup of tea with his grandma rather than party big like others

Oil and Water is a great Evermore EP.

Whilst learn, and then perfectly perform the dance moves.

 

[SSwans2011]

Looks like a pretty boring playlist. All the round deserved. You do realise there's greatest hits albums, or the shuffle feature on Spotify, for rubbish like this?

I would have at least tried to be interesting with my nom, but had no interest in partaking:

 

[SSwans2011]

Now that the floodgates have been opened though, you can all expect Lil B and Viper rounds the next few times I win.

man who knew he couldn't win round decides to keep 'perfect record' by claiming round wasn't good enough for him

Man who has boring, one-dimensional taste in music confirms it with awful theme.

 

[Hoos]

Moment please.

Wise man say, "man who lays down with the dirt people, cannot complain about anal flute theme."

 

[Hoos]

Whilst learn, and then perfectly perform the dance moves.

There's dancing?

 

[NinjaSwan]

I’ll win and get the contest back on track with my “Songs you’re afraid would get Billied” round, it’ll be sure to deliver a diverse and eclectic blend of music.

 

[The Speaker]

Man who has boring, one-dimensional taste

Ah yes, that would be why my three prior podiums were Breton folk, Russian classical and Japanese pop.

 

[SSwans2011]

Is this supposed to prove something? You undid all interesting contributions you might have ever provided by dedicating an entire theme to a classic rock band that most contestants would have already had shoved down their throats at one stage or another. And I actually like Midnight Oil.

You could have previously nominated entirely rare pieces from cultures that don't typically dominante Western pop culture and you'd still be at a net negative in terms of interesting contributions after this theme.

Do you need it spelt out for you?

Dismissing MO as a classic rock band says everything it needs to about your understanding of music. After I win this round, what are you going to do? Go on strike?

They are. Just because they were also influenced by new wave and post-punk doesn't change that.

The Japanese pop one track was in the Asian round, Shostakovich isn't exactly an inspired choice as far as classical goes, and Pellen was assisted by my brilliant theme idea. You also won with the highly inspired choice of Australian Crawl and gave us the awful new lead singers theme. Well done.

 

[_Rake_]

I’ll win and get the contest back on track with my “Songs you’re afraid would get Billied” round,

Decent sounding playlist IMO.

 

[SSwans2011]

Again, I genuinely like Midnight Oil.

But you'd have to have a pretty limited taste in music to consider them "alternative" IMHO.

 

[CakeEater]

Wont be that hard for me- Ill go through all of my 200 noms. Im sure Ill find something in there.

None of which I'd have nominated if I was "one-dimensional". In fact, if I was "one-dimensional" I'd have a sook and not participate in a round that doesn't fit my allegedly narrow interests.

 

[Ulahoopski]

Yeah so this one? He's the one that calls himself Ula. Yeah, we normally keep him in solitary - he goes off his tree pretty much every other day. Creeps out the others in the facility.

Disorientated to time, place and person.
Let's start a course of IVABx in case of a UTI and send him for a CTB. If we can't cure that Rhymitis the whole facility's in real trouble. The other residents will tear him a new one.
