The Music Cup Round 10 - Songs with Aristotle's Elements in the Title

by sodhat Mon 24 Jun - 9:45

First topic message reminder :

Yeah, you read that title right.

We're on the final lap and Hero has an almost unassailable lead. Adam can catch him, but he needs to win the round and for Hero's choice to go pointless. So it could be a procession if he picks up some early votes.

Some good quality in this round, and I hated myself for picking this category because I pretty much drew a blank, and that's why this round is some 40 minutes later than it should have been.

Nonetheless, please select you favourite TWO from the poll.

And thank you to all who have participated, both in the competition and in voting or commenting. It's been a pleasure thumbsup

Where's the funk and soul?
Or black music of any kind?
I can't vote on this round. It's an abhorrent selection.

I was going to nominate Something in the Water (Does Not Compute) by Prince, but was worried that someone might vote for it and ruin my record of 0's.

I am now getting many, many adverts for short shorts :/

Billy Ocean is black & Joel Garner is black so it follows that Billy Joel has some claim to being black. Thus you should vote for the song at the bottom of the list.

- To Adam, for coming second overall without winning a single round.
- To Union for tricking anyone to vote for any of his tracks.
- To Julius, for proving he has absolutely the worst taste in popular music on the entire forum.

It's been a pleasure thumbsup

Only as good as your last performance.

That make me the best. By far. Thanks.

Well done sodhat. Great fun all round.

by **Union Cane** Thu 27 Jun - 14:36

- To Union for tricking anyone to vote for any of his tracks.

Shocked

No trickery required, the quality of my selections shone through and earned me both of my points.

Cheers sodhat, very well run and I'm looking forward to the next instalment.

by Stella Thu 27 Jun - 14:37

Thanks sodhat and well done to Hero

What's up next?

by Rowley Thu 27 Jun - 14:44

Union you know as well as me one of your votes was from me out of some misguided sense of boxing board brotherhood and in the hope you would do another reverse linear thread.

by **Union Cane** Thu 27 Jun - 14:56

Reverse linear Stevie Hyper D lyrics, now there's an idea...

by The Womble Thu 27 Jun - 15:03

Wooop! 5th, the highest placed non-mod/founder!

I feel so proud.

by Il Gialloblu Thu 27 Jun - 15:50

Happy to have gotten one vote for The Decemberists. Cheers, whoever that was.

Cheers sodhat too, for taking the time to run the competition.

How about an entertainment cup which features rounds such as:

Fave song associated with sport
Fave book turned into a film

Most nudity?

by Rowley Fri 28 Jun - 12:30

That thing with Keith Chegwin probably qualifies Tina but not sure any of us want to relive that in a hurry.

by **Kenny** Fri 28 Jun - 12:48

Best 10 minute free view channel ?

you have to pace yourself

set out your products as it starts , i find a selection of different oils/creams helps pass a minute or so just to select the right one for a particular part

then make yourself comfortable , try wearing loose fitting clothing as well

Once your sorted it is usually 4-5 minutes in ( i call that the foreplay ) and then you can begin to enjoy the the last few minutes safe in the knowledge you should be there to the end

by mystiroakey Fri 28 Jun - 12:58

I am confused..
