MixTape Draft - 6+ word titles. Finish your draft and listen to mixes! (2 Viewers)

[Steve Tasker]

Rap options are very limited. For as wordy as most rap songs are, the titles really aren't. I am hoping to find a rap song that fits my playlists theme.

I gave up on the theme idea awhile ago, just trying to branch away from the same artists I always end up picking.  Which I've failed by picking Los Campesinos! and Michael Jackson (and I know I've taken ATCQ once or twice before), but hey it's a 20-round draft.  Plenty of time to make up for it

Not a pick, just spotlighting a great previous pick with a very current video.

With A Little Help From My Friends (2017 Love Rocks NYC at The Beacon Theatre)

The video seems to be a balcony shot from this past Thursday's Love Rocks NYC event at The Beacon, but the sound is decent.  Susan Tedeschi (white dress) does a great job here along with Marc Cohn (the solo male singer at center mic).

Two articles on the show - the first article here from Billboard with a recap and setlist - any show with the aforementioned PLUS Sam Moore, Mavis Staples, Dr. John, Gary Clark Jr., Jackson Browne, Michael McDonald and I can keep going on, but this show would have been a great to see.  Completely dropped the ball on getting to this one.

Second article here from Relix on the closing song above.

Round Five I believe.  Can't link as I'm at soccer.

I have to take possibly the only Vampire Weekend tune that qualifies.   It helps that its one of my favorites....

Vampire Weekend - The Kids Don't Stand a Chance. 

 

[Yo Mama]

Yo Mama selects:

5.23 - Queens of the Stone Age, You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, but I Feel Like a Millionaire - [SIZE=10pt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS8LvHT_zcQ[/SIZE]

Have you ever heard the Chromeo remix?  I like the original plenty, but this may be a rare case where I prefer the remix.  It adds a nice funk vibe to the song.

I usually end up tell myself the same thing each draft.  "this time I am picking something different..."

2 drafts in a row where you are taking so many that were on my mental/initial list.

Both of these in my playlist.

Seems like I am going farther back in time as I draft.  I think this will probably be the farthest I go..

5.05:  THE KINKS - ALL DAY AND ALL OF THE NIGHT

[Northern Voice]

Round 5: Can I Sit Next to You- Spoon

 

[Northern Voice]

5.*... The Past is a Grotesque Animal... Of Montreal

Really like this one, was listening to this album the other day, still really good.

 

[Northern Voice]

5.07 - Geto Boys - "Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta"

I will never not associate this song with Office Space.

 

[rockaction]

5.03 - Brand New - Jude Law And A Semester Abroad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvzHyHgc4lA

I couldn't pass this title up. For my friend Scott, who used to quote this in my car. 

 

[Binky The Doormat]

RD 4:  The Needle and the Damage Done - Neil Young

Love the Neil.  Maybe multiple Neil's.

If I'd gone the full emo route I likely would have taken this band in round 1.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

RD 5:  The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - Genesis

If the prog rock haters don't like this ...they don't like music.

What song, just out of curiosity?

I PM'd you just in case someone wants to take it.

I don't know if he is constipated. I'll ask him tomorrow if he is full of ####.   He is low squatting so he seems more like he is trying to pee.

Ouch.  It was between this and my pick for the last round.

Good song, awfulawfulawful album. An attempt to expand the cinematic song format developed in Cinema Show and Battle of Epping Forest (either of which would likely have blown up into magnificent concept albums) on their previous album that simply doesnt work. Because progmeister disappointments like Topographic Oceans, Passion Play and this occured around the same time and pretty much crashed the genre, i've tried to ameliorate my bitterness by separately going back and trying to forgive each of them and nope.

Those three poison apples rendered the Goddess of Prog moribund, where she lies this day but for a prince's kiss. I purely hope my Alice or Kill the Sun musicals hit if only so i can afford studio/musicians to work on my Adventure Music (two concept albums i began w my last arranger - Eldorado, about man's taste for quests and Flight, songs about the various stages of its development) projects, that spirited lip may enliven the form again.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Ouch.  It was between this and my pick for the last round. 

Sorry, I empathize.  

The new guy is stealing a lot of my list.  #### that guy.

I have couple other Neils in my back pocket that may get thrown in there too ...

Les Savy Fav -- The Year Before the Year 2000

One of my favorite songs ever, but off the radar for some reason.

New guy here  

 

[Ilov80s]

I PM'd you just in case someone wants to take it.

Hmmmm wonder if it's on my radar. I have a few emo tracks, they just fit the category and my theme so well.

 

[-OZ-]

5.07 - Geto Boys - "Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta"

thought this was going to make it one more day.  

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

I just had an epiphany of a song I probably would have taken in the first round if I had thought of it.   Hope it makes it to tomorrow.  

 

[Bonzai]

I kid, I kid

It does seem odd that "The Goldheart Mountaintop Queen Directory" is ineligible for this draft, tho.

 

[Eephus]

Trying to make escape (the pina colada song) reach 6 words.  

Escape (that ####in song about pina coladas)

 

[Eephus]

Five on five game with a tournament bid on the line:  Frankie Valli, Kenny Rogers, Gordon Lightfoot, Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr vs The Geto Boys

[Steve Tasker]

Don't sleep on Bushwick Bill, he's feisty

 

[Bonzai]

5.xx We Gotta Get Out Of This Place - The Animals

They have some other eligible songs, but this one fits best.  Sweet tune.

 

[Hov34]

Round 5: Can I Sit Next to You- Spoon

Good gawd I love Spoon.  They could fart in a microphone and I'd eat it up.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Five on five game with a tournament bid on the line:  Frankie Valli, Kenny Rogers, Gordon Lightfoot, Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr vs The Geto Boys

Geezus.  Four Missing Richard Simmons impersonators & Rupert Holmes could beat that first five.

Not sure what's going on, but if I need to make a pick, let me know. Just can't bring myself to read a thousand posts to figure it out on my own.

You can take Round 5 if you like for us. We can alternate rounds if you like.

Sounds bueno. Is it just songs with 6 or more words in the song title? ... no other contrivances?

Has What Would You Say if I Sang Out of Tune been drafted yet?
