'Songs that make me happy/sad' is basically another 'choose what you like' week.

Musicals- If Blues Brothers is banned, everyone's going to pick 'Blame Canada' instead.

Yeah, only three out of six themes were submitted. Actually four, but I missed Nickachu's PM.

I was going to go for that for the "innapropriate" round

I suspect someone will go with the porn song from Avenue Q

Yes - first post, sorry.

Since it's clear from my overall score that most BEEXers have no taste whatsoever I may as well just chuck a fucking dart at my CD collection and pick a random track from whatever it impales.

But also have zero points and have a terrible taste in music

Go figure.

You were only one vote off the scoring last week. Also, considering you're one of the 'old men' (

) of the forum, it's probably no real surprise that your music taste isn't in line with the majority. Hell, mine certainly isn't.

Anyway, you're probably better off throwing darts at someone else's CD collection

Old men?

We should do an average age survey again

Zardoz · **Posted:** Thu Sep 08, 2011 13:48

I'm one of the Old Men of the forum but my taste in music is awesome.

Mine's better. How old do you have to be to be an old man of the forum? Does 35 qualify?

You can still hold your opinion, but it is worthless, and therefore ascribing a significance of right or wrong is of little point.

These themes are wank.

Hmm. The song which always makes me smile when I hear it was the winner of last week's group (which was STOLEN from me). Guess I shouldn't choose that 'again'?

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

First post updated with Week 7's themes.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Wed Sep 14, 2011 10:26

Surely there should be a rule that songs submitted in previous rounds are out of bounds.

Have we learned nothing from Song Wars 1?

I really should have posted this in the rules thread.

Mr Russell · **Joined:** 6th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 12243

The song I want to pick is a 7 minute epic. And thus will lose spectacularly. Time for a think.

I'm just not going to vote for anything that has been picked before. Especially if it won.

"Every Rose Has Its Thorn" was submitted more than once, and no one complained.

Well, not for that reason.

I have about six choices for the politics theme...maybe I should handle all my groups nominations myself

I picked a Stevie Ray Vaughan 9 and a half minute megawiddle in an earlier round, 7 minutes is a catchy pop anthem to me.

On the way to the BeexBeeQue from Gaywood's wedding, the three of us in the car were taking it in turns to pick a song to play on Spotify. Grim... insisted that get to pick two at a time because every song I chose was 7 minutes plus.

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22270

I posted a 9 minute song in a previous week, I'm still owning my group like the little bitches they are....

Malc · **Posted:** Thu Sep 15, 2011 9:40

Hocus Pocus by Focus is quite long. I think that's the longest song I have submitted...

Nothing beats my entry from last week, length-wise.

I've never understood the dislike of long songs, unless they go nowhere in the same way as many radio friendly songs do.

First post updated with week 8 themes.

Derek The Halls · **Joined:** 31st Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 3742

So who chooses theme for group A next?

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

No one. Week 8 is the last of the league rounds, and the knockout rounds are unthemed.

It's only 8 weeks long (the group stage) I can't believe I'm still winning, despite getting 0 points twice...

Oh, and I am the only person to come last when they have picked the theme?

But had it been an earlier week what would have happened?

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

Probably would have been Findus Fop, because Malc and Kissyfur have already picked themes.

Malc · **Posted:** Tue Sep 20, 2011 22:38

Damn, I was hoping to pick "Theme tunes from Sports shows of the 20th century" if I got to choose a topic again.

You were supposed to pick this week's theme, and you never did!

Derek The Halls · **Joined:** 31st Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 3742

What I won one? When did that happen? You could have told me...

Oh I see now. Well I never paid much attention to the standings. Would have been nice to have had a reminder to pick a theme though.

(Goes all emo)

You pick themes when you lose, not when you win!

It doesn't matter, it still would have been nice to have a reminder. I HATE YOU NOW.

Mark X · **Posted:** Sun Oct 02, 2011 22:17

Hang on, just realised I've not submitted a song for this week. Is there a theme for the songs we're submitting next, or is it a free choice?
