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

Airhead - DJ Brisk:

Sod it, me too.

Spoiler:

That's not a bad song.
The Airhead one made me laugh out loud - was it supposed to?

That's a really good question ................any ideas ?

We've done films, music, sports...it would logically have to be books, tv, maybe history? Travel? Or a general one that covers all sorts of topics. Maybe we could re-visit sports and do a 'greatest individual sporting performance' contest, so you'd get the best of the best going head to head against people like Isner and Mahut, for example.

We could have a round just on Redheads Very Happy

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 24 Jun - 14:37

Best Moderator.

by sodhat Mon 24 Jun - 14:38

Food.

Call it v2 vs Food. Big Mac for the win in the burger round.

by **Hero** Mon 24 Jun - 14:38

I think music could easily continue with a new 10 rounds.
Could do 10 just based on location for example.

Northern England (Birmingham & above)
Southern England (Below Birmingham)
Wales
Scotland
Ireland (including Northern)
Rest of Europe (excluding the UK)
USA
Canada
Australia
Non English Speaking Countries

There are some exceptionally lovely redheads out there

Of course, it's pretty hard to tell what a celeb's natural hair colour actually is, at least without getting pretty close to them anyway

by ChequeredJersey Mon 24 Jun - 14:39

Food sounds good. Could have a whisky round in there

I find going through their bins helps ...........................oh and their knicker draw

by Rowley Mon 24 Jun - 14:40

Books would be good, but there are loads more categories you could do for music, songs featuring colours, songs that have countries/towns in the title, best sixties album, best seventies album, best number one single ever and so on.

Lo-cal wraps for the call centre battery hens,
Japanese snacks for the choice-spoilt citizens,
Caviar kickbacks for the citadel denizens."

Or just pick a hair out of your teeth and have a look

by **Galted** Mon 24 Jun - 14:44

Could do one on people you'd like to stab in the face:
part 1 - footballers
part 2 - actors
part 3 - politicians
part 4 - people famous for being famous
part 5 - general eg traffic wardens, showjumpers etc
could even have a non-people round like species of animals eg dolphins, pandas etc & a cartoon character round

by The Special Juan Mon 24 Jun - 14:45

Artists beginning with the letter "C".....

by Adam D Mon 24 Jun - 14:52

How about the Cultural Cup, where the 10 rounds are a mix of food, drink, TV, Books and Chris Farley films

by Guest Mon 24 Jun - 14:54

The Cultural Cup sounds like a winner to me Adam, that way we get to see who's cultured and who's not...

by The Special Juan Mon 24 Jun - 14:55

I'm not. I have a small box of trivia questions entitled "Culture Vultures" where all the questions are about art, theatre etc. I can't get any right picard

by ChequeredJersey Mon 24 Jun - 14:57

Ooh, we could do theatre, with rounds on Shakespeare, West End Musicals and non-English plays!

by Mind the windows Tino. Mon 24 Jun - 14:58

Too much discrepancy on what is considered cultural and what isn't though?

There are a fair few of us from the North and a fair few Southern fairies who think babycham and rosé wine is cultured.

I haven't even included the Scottish posters amongst us.

by sodhat Mon 24 Jun - 15:00

If there was a clothes round and those poncey shorts that I see young men wearing won it, I think that would be the end of my affiliation with v2.

by Guest Mon 24 Jun - 15:02

As the Music Cup has proven, if you want to win, play to the voters, not to your own personal taste.

Best not to

I jest. The Scottish make Scotch and thus gain most of the points lost on kilt-wearing, Glasgow and the Deep Fried Mars Bar

A more childish person then me would say "You'd like that, wouldn't you?". However, I will not say it.

You know what country I'm from anyway, as if people would wear shorts up here!!

Not particularly. Would just offer to leave the thread if you wanted some space.

Not particularly as opposed to not at all suggests you are a little bit jealous. I'm taking that.

Rose isn't cultured or posh. Very much a staple in France. 5 litres for 17 euros from the Caveau we go to in France and it isn't this ribena coloured stuff you get from supermarkets here. Roll on July.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 24 Jun - 17:05

Did not realise today was the deadline, ahhhh well, I couldnt catch the top two anyway.

Books and TV should be considered next, two things id have much more chance with!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 24 Jun - 17:23

For what its worth id have picked Bonfire by Childish Gambino so id have got no votes anyway!

by mystiroakey Mon 24 Jun - 19:41

Bridge over troubled water and waterfall!

Looks like my holiday took me out the running Sad

Oh well at least I can vote with 100% honesty in this one Wink

I had a listen, Chequered, having not of them before. Not my thing. Sounded a bit poppy, and a bit like that other band that I didn't like but whose name I forgot so I just googled; One Rebublic.

Yeah, not a fan. Sorry.

by ChequeredJersey Tue 25 Jun - 10:24

No worries

by **Kenny** Tue 25 Jun - 14:03

This is the most even round so far isn't it ?
