Marklar_33 I love you

That’s not the theme, sorry

Wife said to me has there been a theme where the song must contain someone’s full name being mentioned in the lyrics. Has there?

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

Just watch Blue Sky Mine win with the hardcore Oils fans melting because it's "too well-known and obvious".

Yes.....

 

[Ulahoopski]

So the most well known, most played songs were the most popular. Who'd a guessed? When I go to Antarctica Imma bring me own ice!

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

That’s not the theme, sorry

Wife said to me has there been a theme where the song must contain someone’s full name being mentioned in the lyrics. Has there?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there has been.

 

[ChappyUK]

Blue Sky Mine sucks camels balls.

 

[Marklar_33]

So the most well known, most played songs were the most popular. Who'd a guessed? When I go to Antarctica Imma bring me own ice!

Probably best, I’d assume the ice down there wouldn’t be fit for consumption as it would be too salty

 

[_Rake_]

What about "guiro before the verse" theme?

 

[Marklar_33]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there has been.

Ok, I’m open to ideas

This is possibly why there was a one band round. All the ideas are taken

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

5 - Minutes to Midnight roo2macca
4 - One Country por_please_ya
3 - Armistice Day Hoos
2 - My Country The Speaker
1 - Back On The Borderline Van_Dyke

Billy - Ignoring the billy bait which is the speech, Instant Karma. Not a good cover at all.

Congratulations for your nominations of pure musical integrity.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Ok, I’m open to ideas

This is possibly why there was a one band round. All the ideas are taken

The next theme I had in mind was a "Not Quite Free For All". You can nom whatever but:

a) The band/artist in question can not have been nommed more than 5 times
b) No previous winners
