Getcha passports ready - the middle-aged dummies are going to the British Isles! Top 31 song countdown. (1 Viewer)

[Uruk-Hai]

The Oregon basketball court is breaking my eyes.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

The only alcohol we have in the house is tequila. We made tacos tonight so that worked out well.

Not good. Proper middle age requires alcohol stocks at acceptable levels at all times of bourbon, vodka and gin.

Or, apparently, a delivery service.

 

[Doug B]

Ok Poison Arrow by ABC is a really fun song, not sure I have ever heard this before.

I won that album at a carnival game during my elementary school’s spring fair. Pretty solid top to bottom.

 

[Mister CIA]

The more I think about it, the more i expect a prog rock song to win the gold.

 

[krista4]

How did I never notice before how cute Deebo Samuel is?

 

[Eephus]

Longest song wins

 

[Chaos34]

well at least the misunderstanding drama helped me keep my new year's resolutions to start drinking and smoking again

Refried Ska.

People are still sending me changes!

You guys just let me know when you're done done and we'll start the countdown. Mark your calendars for mid-2025!

with 45 lists, it's almost meaningless to make a change at this point. And having done the spreadsheets, it a total pain in the *** and can also lead to errors. Just stop people,

I'm done done-ish.

 

[shuke]

You still owe me one. See PMs.

Also, I really enjoy how cos keeps me guessing by sometimes putting the artist first, sometimes the song title, and sometimes something else entirely.

At least the last one was just substituting one song in for the other by the same artist, at the same spot. Easiest change I can do, but this is madness. Eligible!

 

[rockaction]

Eligible!

A song from my first twenty-five out! Noice!

 

[krista4]

Great song.

 

[rockaction]

Great song.

Over Christmas, I was showing my parents how to skank and strut to ska like Madness. They were delighted and appalled at the same time.

 

[krista4]

Well that was depressingly quick.

 

[krista4]

Great song.

Please tell me there was video. Please.

Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired, she needs a rest, the kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Rockaction's skanking to the beat, he can't hang around

 

[rockaction]

Please tell me there was video. Please.

There was. I prevented it from being sent anywhere.

 

[cosjobs]

who knew Bruce Springsteen wasn't British

You probably didn’t know their was a “new” Jersey

Yes, that6 where the Amboy Dukes were from.

 

[krista4]

Hey look, another PM with a change requested!

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

My Seahawks are about to get demolished.

It's ten to nothing already. Tough start.

Yeah. I predicted 30-13.

I may have to amend that.

I only missed the point discrepancy by 1

 

[krista4]

How did I never notice before how cute Deebo Samuel is?

Trevor Lawrence, on the other hand, kinda creeps me out. Still rooting for the Jags, though.

I thought they were from the center of the mind

[Ilov80s]

Well that was depressingly quick.

Jags fan?

 

[krista4]

Well that was depressingly quick.

Jags fan?

If I don't otherwise have a rooting interest (FOR Bears and Seahawks and for the past few years the Bills; AGAINST Packers and Patriots), then I usually go for the underdog. It's why I cheer for your Lions a lot.

 

[Mister CIA]

Jeebus, I got sucked into NCAA basketball, Colorado at UCLA. #34 on Colorado is freaky.

Let me go find you, NFL.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Well that was depressingly quick.

And again.

He was great in Ozark

Don't wait too long, this could be over quick

Daddy never sleeps at night.

Remember the Freaks and Geeks where they're playing the song and the father knows what's up but the mother insists it's about an accordion?

 

[krista4]

Perhaps I can keep you all busy so you stop changing your lists.

I don't know how many there are, since I'm busy processing endless changes to lists, but there are several cover songs that have been selected. Wanna guess what they are? I know we have at least:

1. One song for which we have two cover versions, but not the original.
2. Two covers of songs the originals of which were from artists selected in the US countdown.
3. One song originally by a top 10 artist that is covered by another top 10 artist. You might recall that I teased this once before, but at the time it was two such songs. The change in the teaser is because someone changed their ******* list.

OK, please bat that around.

 

[Mister CIA]

I'm taking Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald for 31 points in the catch-all draft.

Slade?

Is this another contest?

 

[zamboni]

Any Brit artists with DK as initials?

All I got is the ineligible Dead Kennedys.

Danny Kirwan?

Don’t turn around (yup, they’re British)

 

[scorchy]

So, did I miss anything in the last couple of weeks? Cliffs Notes appreciated!

Seriously though, I'm getting anxious thinking about how many pages behind I am.

 

[Mister CIA]

The only alcohol we have in the house is tequila. We made tacos tonight so that worked out well.

Have an idea flickering in my mind ... Tequila, Tuesday's Gone, and tacos.

Eta: Note to self - check on tequilatacotuesdaysgone.com availability.

A bunch of people have made changes to their lists. The Last 5 Out songs were posted a few pages ago and KP made a Spotify playlist of them. A lot of us are drinking tonight.

 

[New Binky the Doormat]

I enjoy that cos has carefully centered his avatar so we can see what the **** he wants us to see

Jags needs to commit to the run. TLaw is totally shook (and the WRs can't get open)

I think I was the windmills of the mind

 

[KarmaPolice]

@Ilov80s- just ordered a Zombie Dust at the restaurant after the game! I'm holding you personally responsible if I don't like it since your mention made me order it.
