Anyone up for a Songs about Food Draft? (1 Viewer)

[Apple Jack]

I took Fiona Apple in the first round, boss.   

What was the food? I didn't consider her name, but the strawberries, peas, and beans.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Folks, it seems that some mouth-breather has altered the draft doc.  To whom do we report that?

unpossible.

Jeez, I know it's a bummer being sniped on a pick, but that's a bit much.

 

[Northern Voice]

The world is full of petty immature people.  Past versions in the "version history" from whoever did that include "Latin Pimp Rules" and (of course, of course, of course) "Trump For King".

Anyway, I restored a previous version of it.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

We could do a variation of the annual football pool draft but open it up to other sports somehow?

As a sort of variation maybe a draft where everyone takes songs from artists from or songs about their home state (or Providence for you Canucks).

I think that would make for some interesting mixes.

If there are any North Dakotans here, they're screwed.

They can combine the Dakotas

 

[zamboni]

To be fair, I'd also give them Manitoba and Saskatchewan. 

 

[El Floppo]

Desert/entree:

Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs- cake of light

Wildcard (after previous meal):

These New South Whales- cholesterol heart

Wildcard (taste of Beijing take out):

Gong Gong Gong III- down quantity road

 

[El Floppo]

Not sure if I still owe picks.

 

[Northern Voice]

We could do a coronavirus-palooza. "Songs to pass the time", "Songs about distancing", "Songs about not working", "Songs about medicine", "Songs about home"... I don't know if we'd get enough categories but

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Here's a topic that everyone has discussed many times in their life.

Weather.      

Add a slice of life story to every song.

We did an Academy Awards draft a year or 2 ago. Though there's still room for a different style movie draft imo. Sports...probably but it's been a long while

ok ... yeah - i recall taking Nancy Sinatra as Best Supporting Actress

Love that Nancy + Hazlewood stuff. Could easily do one that was genres: westerns, noir, etc or movie titles/characters references, etc

There must have been a sports-themedmusic draft in the past (don’t recall being in one), but maybe it’s been so long that it’s worth doing again regardless.

You aren't even close to the weird stuff here.  My fave is the "songs with six or more words in the title" draft.

Yeah I prefer my drafts more broad, rather than the scavenger hunt style but I'll do whatever.

I like a mix.  The scavenger hunt ones get me to think more outside my comfort zone and stumble on new things.  

My favorite mixes of mine were ones like the long title songs and the one where we "taught a class", or whatever that was.

I did a theology class in that one. It was fun drafting and revisiting a bunch of gospel songs from classic country artists that I grew up hearing.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

maybe heaven and hell songs

 

[Northern Voice]

"Vices and Verses draft". Songs about vices alongside poetic songs with shared themes. So if you take motley Crue "Kickstart My Heart" you better be willing to take Celine Dion "My Heart Will Go On" to offset it. 

 

[Northern Voice]

maybe heaven and hell songs

This would tie into my above post, we could do heaven/hell, love/hate etc, as requirements or leave it open and people could choose their opposites/complementary songs in whatever categories they see fit. 

 

[Northern Voice]

(also yes, this is obviously me trying sneak the sex, drugs, rock and roll draft back in, with a more under the radar/PG friendly title and format)

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

How about songs by dead people?

 

[Northern Voice]

Too bleak for these covid times maybe?... but could definitely be a subcategory in a genrepalooza or similar multi-cat draft

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

one of my most prized Vinyls

Don't get me started on Lee Hazlewood.

I draft a song or album from him whenever possible.

He's a national treasure.

I literally just turned 53 so this song is appropriate.

I guess you missed the time we did this and got deleted.  Somehow, appreciating the music of people who have died was viewed as disrespectful.  I have no idea why.

was my favorite draft, by far. 

perhaps we could borrow from Woody Allen ("Broadway Danny Rose") and dub it a less offensive "Famous Crooners From The Past Who Are Now Deceased"

(Lou Conova bought the house down every time with that bit)

 

[Bracie Smathers]

I'm gonna pimp songs about weather again.  

Lush category, tons of songs about, rain, sunshine, summer, winter, fire (forrest fires) and everyone has individual stories connected to weather that could go with a song to put a stamp on it.  

Hey, at least I like the idea.

First off, I had no idea French Stewart was so talented that he also was the lead singer for the Dead Kennnedys.  >> Picture

And put in a story connected to the song to make it uniquely yours.  

This draft would be a hit.

you could add tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, storms, whatever.

Volcanos, dust storms, locusts, dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

Yeah, the whole works.

You missed a better suggestion based on the movie thread- "songs you dont understand". 

 

[Mister CIA]

Let's do this Iron Chef style, and maybe give it a catchy name like... I dunno, The Iron Bowl?  Somebody nominates a topic and we hold a 3-round draft.  Judging involved, of course.
