Music Cup...is back!

The Music Cup v2!

It’s back!
After a few weeks hiatus while hobo did his Movie version (and that’s enough of that!) it’s about time I dusted down the turntables and cranked up the volume to eleven.

Hopefully most of you are aware of the rules from last time but for those that are sat there wondering what the jeebies is this? Then I’ll explain...

Each and every week for the next 20 weeks (yeah you heard that right! 20 weeks! Double the length of the previous version) I will announce the title of the next round, for 24 hours the contestants who have signed up PM me their 3 choices that they think best sum up that round, I ask for 3 in case of duplication and it’s first come first served (so for example I choose Manchester as the round and contestant A pms me with How Soon is Now? By the Smiths, Live Forever by Oasis and Sit Down by James, contestant B pms me with How soon is now, Champagne Supernova and Love Will Tear Us Apart, therefore contestant A gets the Smiths track and B gets the Oasis one.
Hope that makes sense!

Once I have all the nominations in then I create a thread with the choices in for anyone to vote on (not just the contestants) their favourite 3 out of the list. The winner gets 10 points, the runner up 9 and so on.

So if you’re interested in taking part this time round please add your name onto the thread, I’ll accept applications up to Monday morning at 9am.

ill go for round two can't do any worse then last time

I'm in!

As I am the reigning champion with Demon, count me in.

Go on then count me in

I am in.

Il give it a pop

Im in!
(with the hope of a disco fever round)

I'll give it a go

After discovering that v2 has a collectively terrible taste in films, I'll have a pop at this to see whether music is just as bad!

Ah cool - I think last time you limited it to 10. I was worried I'd missed the boat!

I shall dust my hat off and throw it into the ring.

I'm up for it

Limited it to ten due to at the time thought that was the cap it allowed, prob though don't want to go much higher purely due to paperwork!

I'd be interested if you have room left, Hero.

yep, I'm gonna limit it to a maximum of another 4 places (20 in total).
With that then I'm also going to readdress the scores to the winner getting 20, runner up 19 and so on.

Is this starting today?

Yep!


Ok so without further ado...

For everyone that registered, please PM with your top three choices for...

Best song with a person's name in the title.

You have until 5pm on Tuesday to get your nominations in.

Does it have to be a full name? A real person? Or are made up names or single names allowed? Or don't you care?

Without wishing to preempt anyone's choices, must it be something like Bette Davis' Eyes or could it be something like Buddy Holly's Peggy Sue (trying to find examples that maybe no one will choose anyway)

It only has to be a first name and it doesn't matter if they are fictional.

OK ta - PM on its way shortly
