Updated sKeith keeps us in suspense with votes that close the gap and see no movement forward


I'm calling this to clear the last two and we'll start the 64 tune each way tournament this afternoon, but with the slow voting it may be Xmas 2020 before we get some results

Spook_ie

I am glad that this one got through, because it's getting to be a bit of an earworm

Spook_ie

OK I'm awake and I'm ready so hopefully you're also ready.

Now how this is going to work is like this all 64 tunes ( can't call them songs!) will face off in a seeded competition, the winners will play the winners until there's a champion and obviously the losers play the losers until there's an ultimate loser.

Simple really ( I Hope ) and probably controversial ( I Hope ) so any way we'll start off, shall we....

Match One

SEEDED #1
Thrift Shop - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK8mJJJvaes

Versus
SEEDED #64 ( after Elimination votes, winner of Match 2)
Don't Forget Your Shovel - Christy Moore

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApHj9vOu2eQ

Five Votes to Progress, you can decide on song or video or what ever criteria you like just vote

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Thrift Shop, because it's a good tune, riduculous premise for a song, and he gets a great dig in at R. Kelly.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Out of curiosity can you remind us how you seeded these Spook? What was your criteria?

Necro

Thrift Shop cos it's better than forgetting your shovel

Green&Red

Thrift shop

!st Criteria was Chart position in UK + Chart Position in Ireland/2 and if not charted in one or the other then allocated as a position 40

2nd Criteria was number of weeks in the Charts

3rd Criteria Was Alphabetical

So for example Thrift Shop Vs Don't Forget Your Shovel

Thrift Shop
Charted No1 UK
Charted No1 Ireland
Average Chart Position = 1
Weeks in Chart UK+Weeks in Charts Ireland = 63

Don't Forget Your Shovel
Charted 0 in UK ( mandatory 40 )
Charted 5 in Ireland
Average Chart Position 22.5
Weeks in Chart UK + Weeks in Chart Ireland = 7

Electric Nitwit

I actually didn't know "Don't Forget Your Shovel" but it's just bad

"Thrift Shop" had morphed in my head to me thinking it was a relatively normal song but I just relistened and it's definitely funny

Vote Thrift Shop

khalessi

Vote Dont forget your shovel

Zaph

Thrift Shop, because I hate Christy Moore so much.

And with that Christie consigned to the losers round of 32 and Thrift Shop into winners round of 32

The Stonk- Hale & Pace Charted #10 in Ire #1 UK

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaAn_fNqZb4

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Laughing Gnome, because it's actually a class song, and I'm gonna be voting for the superior song throughout this competition.

Necro

I.... I....

Laughing Gnome I guess. Both aren't very good though tbh.

khalessi

Laughing Gnome David Bowie

Green&Red

The stong please



God that’s an awful word with predictive text

When I saw Laughing Gnome I thought "oh I didn't know that was Bowie". Then I played it and it wasn't what I thought it was - turns out I was thinking of The Laughing Policeman.

Anyway I'll vote for Laughing Gnome, because Stonk doesn't do much for me (and doesn't have David Bowie)

Electric Nitwit

Vote David Bowie

Don't think I'd heard it before and it did make me chuckle. I remember liking The Stonk when it came out but I was young and stupid then, listening back now it just drifted past me

Spook_ie

And Bowie and his small friend go through to the cost of the Stonk 5:1

Spirit In The Sky, because even though they're both cringey and awful, I never want to have to listen to that other one ever again.

The cringe factor is going to horrify you then because you'll have it again in the next round of 32 either it's going up or going down!

Hopefully I can just remember how much it made me want to punch myself in the face next time instead of forcing myself to listen to it again.

Necro

Spirit in the Sky because it's kind of funny.

Let's give the Fast Food Song a vote too.

McDonald's McDonald's

Just confirm Spirit in the sky you want to progress as a chuckle and Fast Food as a cringe?
