Music Cup 2015 Round 7: Countries & Cities

Dancingweeman courts controversy this week (well Adam moaned about it) with his winner of Thin Lizzy because it was chosen in a previous round, rules are rules though (or lack of) and I'm not going back through previous rounds each week to check so feck it!
Tina plays catch up at the top with his miserable choice of The Drugs Don't Work, ironically I met Richard Ashcroft a few years ago and he was certainly prophetic in his title looking at him.
Adam and I share the spoils in 3rd place, him picking one of the iconic figures of Hip Hop, whilst I pick a geek from Sheffield.
Compelling and Rick both play it safe to remain at the top with their choices of Oasis & Nirvana...YAWN!
CJB scores a respectable 5 with Snoopy Doggy Woggy Doo Daa.
Nadz joins for the first week and already overtakes Galted with the bizarre choices of D12's Purple Pills, think some may have been taken by those that voted for that crock of crap.
And last up is a blast from my past in Terrorvision's Tequila, many a student night was had belting that out (one ended in me drinking the aforementioned drink from my best mate's sister's bellybutton) and the classic Heroin by Velvet Underground, that really should have got more votes.

It's nailtight at the top with a threesome but not one of those you dream about, more like when your Mrs tells you she'd like one and then invites your dad. Worse still is it's being followed up now by Adam & I. At the bottom? Galted. That just explains everything.

Next Round!

Hundreds & Thousands

Any song in which the title or artist has a number in it. As usual send me a PM with your top 3 choices (or just the 1 if you pick crap ones like Rowley and Galted that no-one else in their right mind would choose).

Only like three songs on there outside of my own choice.

Very disappointed not to see Kids in America which would have been my second pick.

Can I point out that Africa is a continent, not a city or country.

Also Alabama is a state, not a city or country.

Some people just don't respect the rules, Jeff.

Brings the whole thing into disrepute.

I don't want to cause a fuss Tina, but if we're not going to observe fairly simple rules we're on the road to anarchy. None of us want that do we?

I'm not vetoing nominations that flout the rules, I'll leave it up to those that vote to do so if they wish.

Ok, be honest. Which of you retards don't know what a country or a city is?

So for the next round, which is numbers if somebody chooses Adele Skyfall will that be allowed?

Yes, but I would hope they would be roundly laughed at.

They should not receive any points their picks attract. Stupidity should be punished, not rewarded.

Rules were stricter in the Culture Cup 2.0.

What would Crufts do?

Toto, Petty and LCD.

If Bush can win a round then the glory of Africa can pick up votes.

Damn right, you reigned down on Patton with the fury it deserved.

Unless someone's trying to curry favour with you Rowley I think you might be skating on thin ice yourself because I sure as hell haven't heard of Sproston Green Cathedral.

My pick (not Africa or Alabama. Edit - not North America either) is also not a country or a city. I knew that when I picked it, but I figured that Hero ran such a lax shop that it didn't matter.

Not my pick Hibbz. I observe the rules of the competition with absolute and unwavering discipline.

This one knows, she comes and goes.

American is a nationality.

America is the country.

Apologies Rowley - Obviously some other Charlatan's selection.

Alistair wrote:American is a nationality.

America is the country.

America is contained in the word American so I'm giving this one a pass, plus it was my second choice.

If I were to choose a Bruce Springsteen song I'd have chosen Youngstown. Someone was just going for the populist vote.

Atlantic City would be my choice from the boss for this round. Great song.

Streets of Philadelphia is also a good one.

Any of those 3 would have been a better choice.

Hibbz there showing a keen eye as well as a great taste in music.

Great taste Julia's, Rowley and Alistair. I'd go with Atlantic City or Nebraska.

Unfortunately my first choice is yet to garner a solitary vote.

Even I've got a vote Hibbz, and I'm me.

I also scored zero in the previous round, although even I'll admit I picked a sh!t song.

Nebraska is not a city.

There is a Nebraska City in Nebraska Jules, trust me, I have checked.

Surprised no-one chose Final Countdown by Europe. That doesn't contain a city or country.

Neither does In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry Galted, amazed not to see that get a nod from someone.

Next time I'm going to pick a U2 number. Bono is a total country.

The next round is a numbers round. I'd avoid U2 as they actually fit the criteria.

Don McLean - American Pie would not fit the criteria, but actually fit the criteria.

Where was the outrage when Bittersweet Symphony swept the food and drink catagory?

Bitter is a drink.

Bittersweet (all one word) isnt though.

Maybe he was referring to these:

Im just bitter (pardon the pun) because Boston was my first choice and someone beat me to it and its flying.

Surprised no-one's gone for this one, despite it being top of the list and including dancing.  Excellent choice, whoever chose it is clearly a great thinker and probably exceptionally handsome and muscular.

Born in the usa is overrated, if I were to pick a boss song it be streets of Philadelphia (was my second choice) along with Barcelona by freddy. Love that song, good memories of 92 Olympics

The city of Africa in the state of Ohio any use to anyone?

It doesn't, in toto, remove argument over the whole round, but it should help.

Why is Straight Outta Compton in the lead?

Not only is the grammar appalling, the song is sh*te as well.

Could've had Tokyo by A Flock of Seagulls.
