#SongContestResults

In 2nd Place is Galatea's Guitar by Gábor Szabó with 29 votes & 0 Billies (151415444), nominated by WAbulldog

In 1st Place is Love Is Blue by Paul Mauriat with 31 votes & 0 Billies (241255453), nominated by spinynorman

Two red hot Contestants duked this out with Spiny getting the edge this time. Great to see two instrumentals getting some love!

Gabor is surprisingly a unique nom and almost was WAB's choice in a recent virgin round (are virgin artists having a moment?)

But Spiny's second choice for the Blue Round (not really a bad choice not to nom it though considering his first choice won the round!) stole the limelight, with Paul Mauriat's second nom being his first win in the contest.

Congratulations Spiny!!

Theme?

Whoever gave mine that one vote seriously needs help.

Gábor Szabó robbed.

Will definitely take second though, happy it did well.

5: Immortal Technique - "Rich Man’s World (1%)" The best song nommed in my time in the SC, bravo Dont_be_a_Plonka 6th
4: The Good Ones ft. Nels Cline - "Where Did You Go Wrong, My Love" making this the most unlucky nom not to get my 5. Beautiful. Lunchlady Doris 7th
3: Taylor Dayne - "Tell It to My Heart" a classic that was in my to-nom list DemurePrincess 10th
2: Paul Mauriat - "Love Is Blue" tell me this features in a film spinynorman 1st
1: Anna B Savage - "Donegal" This grew on me to the point it couldn't be left out Hydatina Physis 4th

Billy: Adam Sandler - "Chanuka" in a round with no deserving Billy's had to go with the man who invented the Billy himself sorry.

HM's: Almost every song so not worth listing

 

[Hydatina Physis]

Yeah it's a good result

Theme?

Well I did not expect that at all. I was really onto something during that "blue" round.

Give me some brief thinking time.

5 Immortal Technique - Rich Man’s World @Dont_be_a_Plonka 6th

I don't usually vote for rap.
But went and got the lyrics for this one whilst listening to it, and it hit my sweet spot for it's message, and energy.

 

[spinynorman]

WAbulldog and spinynorman (funnily enough the top 2 this round as well) - you were the only ones to guess what my nom was... and guessed the same. So please fight amongst yourselves (or collaborate!) as to who gives Hotchilli a Billy Avatar.

I'm never good at this and so given I have to worry about coming up with that myself for Sunday I'm happy to let WAbulldog take this as a consolation prize.

In 3rd Place is 21 Gun Salute by Catch Your Breath with 28 votes & 7 Billies (545BBB554BBBB), nominated by hotchilli

Saluting (with a bit of a backfire admittedly) is the most divisive nom in some time. This nom which got rejected in the Edumucation and Learneding Round lead for most of the way and the drama queen in me kinda wanted this to win for the melts.

Catch Your Breath is a unique nom and probably the only unique nom to get both a podium and Billy.

WAbulldog and spinynorman (funnily enough the top 2 this round as well) - you were the only ones to guess what my nom was... and guessed the same. So please fight amongst yourselves (or collaborate!) as to who gives Hotchilli a Billy Avatar.

Since Spiny won the round I will let them choose the Billy AV.

Damn straight, I was blown away.

 

[hotchilli]

How the **** am I getting the Billy in a round that we have a song performed by Adam Sandler…

Ah ok will find something then in that case.

5: Immortal Technique - Rich Man’s World (1%) Dont_be_a_Plonka
4: Dirty Vegas - Days Go By MP_
3: Zventa Sventana ft Ivan Dorn - Husband Is Not Home por_please_ya
2: Taylor Dayne - Tell It To My Heart DemurePrincess
1: Adam Sandler - Chanukah Song BFew

BM: The Pine - Sunchild Riviat

Whoever gave mine that one vote seriously needs help.

I Billied the previous Adam Sandler song hard, but I was just impressed that be managed to get the crowd to sing along to that dross. Also I'd just watched Hubie Halloween so he had some credit.

My Doppleganger again.
We both gave the same song 5 votes and had a perfect match with our Billies.

Theme: Addresses

Nominate something where the song lyrics (or artist's name) references something you would put on the address of a letter - the street name, suburb, state or postcode. Large cities on their own would not count, if it would need to be more specific for the postal service, it will need to be more specific for me.

EDIT: I'll keep it simple. If you'd write it on a domestic envelope (ie. not listing a country), it counts.

No previous nominations.

Noms due: Thursday 6 November 10pm AEDT
Votes due: Sunday 9 November 10pm AEDT

DQ is Sweet Tides by Thievery Corporation with 16 votes & 0 Billies (4345), nominated by Supercheapgiants

Would've came in 10th. The SC must've played runner up to other post exam freedoms.

Oh and it was a runner up choice for unique song round apparently (didn't think we had one recently but I was VERY lax with the theme links).

Apologies, I've disappeared the last few days ahah, school finishing has got me doing random daily errands

I don't like adult life
