[Gr00vus]

That'll be my category with the "produced by" expansion.

Songs written by Prince (or any of his noms de plume) OK?

Sure, but it's more of the sound I was going for. The highly Prince flavored song without the full frontal Prince - you know what I mean? His tentacles have gone places some people might not realize. Musically speaking of course.

ETA:

Good category. Plenty of options. Lots of women wearing lingerie, Some opportunities for "Con-tro-versy" with some of his pseudonyms.

Upon further review, a lot of the Prince collaborations from the 80s and early 90s are out of print and/or not on Spotify. I still like the category but it's going to make the final playlists more difficult if people draft something other than the usual hits.

So do I need to come up with something else?

No, we're rolling now. I was just disappointed that a lot of the obscurities I was thinking about appear to be casualties of the Artist's war with Warner Brothers.

O.k. My next attempt would have been songs by Chic or involving (playing, writing, producing) any former member of the original Chic.

This is great stuff. We made it to Seattle late a few weeks ago so weren't able to take up your recommendation to see them.

Bummed that tim punted the mandolin category. I love mandolins.

You can catch them another time. They tour a lot. I liked that mandolin category too. Maybe I'll draft a 1971 song that has a mandolin in it.

 

[El Floppo]

powerpoint presentation conference with my partner about our 1st pick.

[hagmania]

Oh, you guys started! Well, sheet will be fully functional in a few more then. Sneaky drafters.

Oh no, you di-int.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

I have this as correct except for

Tanner - song you love but are somewhat embarrassed about if people knew

(new) Usual 21 - best soundtrack from the 80's that also made the scene much better

JZilla - really change it to "Animals" from solo acapella? Seemed confusing.

What's confusing?

Solo acapella is really very difficult, and going to bring about a lot of meh stuff if it's not widely mulliganed

Animal songs should be easy and fun

No - following the conversation to ensure that is where we landed was confusing me. I am easily confused.

I'm more confused with the fact that Tanner and I are the same person

Simeys choice/ never heard it before but it was awesome. Bender's song is of course an all time classic. Great start.

 

[Eephus]

In case anybody cares, you don't have to declare your mulligans until the end.

 

[El Floppo]

1.04- Jeff Buckley- Halleluja (non-religious religious)

The song has been overplayed a bunch on all the singing competitions, but when Grace came out... holy hell. Never heard the version I linked before... pretty nice

Gotcha

I've thought of all kinds of better ideas today, of course

 

[timschochet]

Is Hallelujah really religious? I know the word is, but I thought the song was about sex.

 

[Time Kibitzer]

For animals, should the song just have an animal in its title track or should the song actually be about said animal?

 

[Eephus]

For animals, should the song just have an animal in its title track or should the song actually be about said animal?

It should be performed exclusively by animals.

1.01 Jingle Bells

 

[JZilla]

I don't think it needs to be too literal, use your best judgment

 

[JZilla]

1.01 Jingle Bells

1.02 Anarchy in the U.K.

 

[Eephus]

You're probably confusing it with Handel's Hallelujah Chorus

 

[Frostillicus]

Is Hallelujah really religious? I know the word is, but I thought the song was about sex.

They played it on The O.C. when Marisa died.

 

[timschochet]

Im really hoping for a lot of picks I've never listened to before. Since there's no judging I'm hoping to discover music I enjoy. Grateful to Simey already.

 

[El Floppo]

Is Hallelujah really religious? I know the word is, but I thought the song was about sex.

exactly.

religious.

 

[timschochet]

Is Hallelujah really religious? I know the word is, but I thought the song was about sex.

They played it on The O.C. when Marisa died.

And on The West Wing when Mark Harmon died. But I still think its about sex.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Is Hallelujah really religious? I know the word is, but I thought the song was about sex.

Buckley referred to his sensuous rendition as a homage to "the hallelujah of the orgasm." He explained in a Dutch magazine OOR: "Whoever listens carefully to 'Hallelujah' will discover that it is a song about sex, about love, about life on earth. The hallelujah is not a homage to a worshipped person, idol or god, but the hallelujah of the orgasm. It's an ode to life and love." Buckley also admitted to having misgivings about his sensual version and he hoped that Cohen wouldn't get to hear his version.

The category is religious non-religious, no? Seems like a perfect fit.

 

[JZilla]

It's about sex as a religious experience. COUNT IT

 

[BobbyLayne]

Religious songs/Non-religious artists

OK, maybe not.

Eh, it was this or werewolf.

Always glad to help with draft sheets. Huge nerd, always looking for others' opinions, etc. Hope to find some good new songs this go-round.

1.05 - Ben Folds Five - For All The Pretty People (Acoustic 1990-2014)

Some salty (NSFW) language at the beginning, but it is not really part of the song. Sorry this is the only way I could find it on YouTube. Spotify has it in all it's glory and I'll use that for my mixtape.

I like Ben Folds, though I haven't heard much. That's not a song I was familiar with. Thanks!
