Welcome to the fifth installment of Boardsies Best Song of the ......

Tomorrow we'll be kicking off with the best song of the sixties.

Are you still taking nominations?

Yes

Also Starring LeVar Burton

About what time you thinking of starting tomorrow?

rainbowtrout

Probably in the morning after 10. If that doesn't go to plan, it will be after 10 tomorrow night.

Necro

WOOOO The swinging sixties!

Come on and get rhythm

When you get the blues

Come on and get rhythm

When you get the blues

Buckle up people. This is going to be savage from the start.

There are a couple of matches that are going to have 3 songs in them rather than running 5 or 6 qualifier matches as I have 135 songs in the contest. I'll put up the first match in the next 10 minutes or so.

6 votes are needed to progress to the next round.

This made me go back and listen to the Del Shannon song, realised I knew it and changed my vote

Although I do like the iggy pop song as my mate used to play it in college


Edit: Listened to stooges again and changed it back
