EFC - Essendon theme song
marimba round was better, very comfortably
Lol, karaoke version
I feel, in the spirit of the theme, that anyone getting a swoodley this round should get a wildcard entry for the final.
And I’m not just saying that cos I’m probably gonna get one.
…I actually agree. It would be fitting.
I must say that bold and unorthodox, yet brilliant, pick gets my top points.
5 EFC - Essendon theme song
4 Neutral Milk Hotel - King of Carrot Flowers
3 Band of horses - No one’s gonna love you
2 Paul Westerburg - Vampires and failures
1 Twain - King of Fools
Good degree of difficulty - far more difficult to get a swoodley from 15 songs than 30-odd songs.
There’s a clear pattern emerging already. Could be 2 or 3 swoodleys.
Lest we forget:
I really liked that song
I do feel bad that I didn’t give The Killjoys a vote. I kinda feel like I owe them… Frente too…
Another decent round, probably 2 or 3 more I could have given votes to.
5 - Metallica - The frayed ends of sanity (haven’t heard for ages. Loved this song back in the day.)
4 - Biff - You are all my enemies
3 - Reverend & the Makers - Heavyweight Champion of the World.
2 - Paul Westerburg - Vampires and failures
1 - The Offspring - Self Esteem. (Anything where Dexter still has dreads, gets a vote from me)
Fwiw, the Karaoke song would have got 5 if you’d just taken the extra 5 seconds to make sure you had the right version.
And no footy talk…
5 Black Snake Moan - The Losing Kind
4 Neutral Milk Hotel - King of Carrot Flowers (thought this had a cool vibe so I listened to a bunch more stuff but this is my fave)
3 The Offspring - Self Esteem (played it, tapped my foot and sang along, couldn’t be denied)
2 Flaming Lips - The Sound of Failure
1 King Crimson - Epitaph
Sorry, just catching up, where do the songs start?
songs start at post 372
5 - Band Of Horses - No One’s Gonna Love You
(Great song, and you forced me to look closely at the lyrics which I kinda knew but never thought too deeply about before)
4 - The Flaming Lips - The Sound of Failure
(Really hit its straps halfway through)
3 - Neutral Milk Hotel - The King of Carrot Flowers, Pt. One
(It feels odd to hear this without the continuation into the next track. Never considered the lyrics might be about failure.)
2 - Biff - You Are All My Enemies
(Interesting track, I liked when it picked up the pace and the female vox came in)
1 - The Offspring - Self Esteem
(I took her baaaack and made her desserrrrrrt)
5 - The Offspring - Self Esteem
4 - Metallica - The Frayed Ends of Sanity
3 - Biff - You are all my engine
2 - King Crimson - Epitaph
1 - Neutral Milk Hotel - King of Carrot Flowers
I made a final? ■■■■ YEAH.
5 The Offspring - Self Esteem (seeing these guys tomorrow night!)
4 Black Snake Moan soundtrack - The losing kind
3 Reverend & the Makers - Heavyweight Champion of the World
2 Metallica - The Frayed Ends of Sanity
1 Ben Folds Five - Mess
only one swoodley contender left
I may be dumb, but I’m not a dweeb.
