Leave it this way. I like the ambiguity and people can still go with angry breakup songs if that was where they wanted to go.Also, @Captain Cranks, this is your show so please feel free to delete "amicably" or adjust any way you wish, or if a bunch of people would prefer it that way. As I said, I originally wrote it up worse - there was infidelity, both people had lost their jobs, etc. - and then I adjusted to make it more subtle in its emotion.
I will pass on voting, but thanks for the mention . In a crabby mood tonight
Might need to be a Lost Boys or Gremlins night. I think the grumpiness started with the wheel of time thread.Sorry to hear that. Maybe watch a little Magnolia to get you out of your funk?
I hope you'll be participating in the next draft. Only four rounds!
Gonna send a ballot now. I've been pretty busy lately but I did catch up on this thread.Last call! Last call for alcohol! Wait, no, more alcohol please! Last call for votes!
Cap'n, I'll post the winner(s) tomorrow morning?
There are a ####-ton of choices for draft #2, but I think the 1.01 is obvious."It's a dreary Winter evening. You and your partner have amicably decided to call it quits after a dozen years together, but as you prepared to separate your households, a pandemic struck, causing you to lose your income for the foreseeable future. Until your job comes back, you and your soon-to-be-ex are living, together but apart, under one roof. Most of the world is shut down, so you're stuck inside nearly all of the time. What song are you blasting in the house?"

I'm not. What is that?Agreed, we are all thinking itThere are a ####-ton of choices for draft #2, but I think the 1.01 is obvious.
She got another text from Paul McCartney?Also, she's got an exciting announcement I think you'll all enjoy.
It's the area where bones of former exes are hidden under the Big W.I'm not. What is that?
What’s the music connection? It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie.weasel, the link that Mister CIA posted is from a movie where a hidden treasure was buried underneath the Big W.
Trying to channel Mister CIA I'm guessing it's a play off the song that shares the same title as the movie, but I'm not sure.What’s the music connection? It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie.

Congrats, HOV!Wow, this is really a shock as I thought most of the $ themes would win. I didn't think I'd even be in the top 5...
Here is the charity I was thinking of from the get go:

I've really missed drafts with you guys/girls. FBG is now blocked at work so I've not been on as much as I've wanted to and I miss this community.
Thanks for votes, and especially thanks to @Captain Cranks for doing this!

I wonder if countryish sounding songs are the kiss of death in these things. I know some do not like twang even if it hardly is.. Then I chuckled and realized country has this covered for decades.
As soon as I scanned the playlists, I just gravitated to Hov's and said, yeah. that's the one.
I had OH third and SWC fourth.

Speaking of countryish, I'm going to Durham today to hang with some friends and see Amanda Anne Platt and The Honeycutters (formerly known as The Honeycutters). They are playing tonight at the Blue Note Grill. They are doing a holiday show, and it should be good.
I voted Doc Oc as my #3, so that sound didn't run me offWould you consider yours and Dr. O's lists to be the countryish ones this time? You both got votes, and not necessarily from each other.
We definitely had some songs that have elements of country in them.Would you consider yours and Dr. O's lists to be the countryish ones this time? You both got votes, and not necessarily from each other.
You like country. I voted you as my #2.I voted Doc Oc as my #3, so that sound didn't run me off

Like with many things, I have a love/hate relationship with Country. I'm not crazy about what commercial country radio plays. I don't find it offensive or badly done or anything like that...... it's just boring to me.You like country. I voted you as my #2.
I am not a fan of commercial country radio either, or I guess it can also be called pop country.Like with many things, I have a love/hate relationship with Country.

I like the classic country, the old and new outlaw, country folk, country rock, americana, alternative country, bluegrass, etc.I'm not a fan, and that's a euphemism.
Huge fan of outlaw country, Waylon/Willie/Cash/Haggard etc.
Remember the old Rowdy Yates tune "Rawhide"?I like both kinds Country and Western.
I was going to pick it, too. Awesome.

Actually no music connection, just pointing out how obvious the #1 pick in draft is... I might have been under the influence too.Trying to channel Mister CIA I'm guessing it's a play off the song that shares the same title as the movie, but I'm not sure.
