Song Tournament

[jiraffejustin]

Like all the movie tournaments, except with songs. A requirement for nominating: You must post a link so we know exactly which version of the song to nominate. Once we get 32 songs we will start. And to expedite the process, the voting system we will use is the first to 5 votes wins the match-up. You get two noms to start you off.

Brenda Lee - Jambalaya (On the Bayou) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1efsBtrl-s

You should do more than 32 songs.

[jiraffejustin]

64?

[donniedarko]

32 seems like enough

Afroman-Crazy Rap (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIKaGDbdmDI)

Vinnie Paz Cheesesteaks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsK-OxJQJP8)

[Sexy Celebrity]

32 songs? Songs are short (usually....) And a song tournament hasn't been done, yet. I'd do 64.

It figures you would be obnoxious and post nearly 10 minute songs.

[Guaporense]

Iron F*cking Maiden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Miss Vicky]

It figures you would be obnoxious and post nearly 10 minute songs.

Yeah, way too long.

I listened to the first one (not bad but not a fan of the singer's voice) but it'll be awhile before I even attempt the second.

[Frightened Inmate No. 2]

Iron F*cking Maiden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rega_kxiNI

Needs more crisp vocal harmonies.

[Guaporense]

I would recommend everyone to listen to the songs nominated at least 2 times before voting, that's because a song only becomes really good after you have learned it and developed expectations for what's going to happen when you listen to it again.

[jiraffejustin]

Ever Fallen in Love~The Buzzcocks

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G0AF0g08aU

[Godoggo]

I have no idea why my videos aren't showing up. I'll try to sort it out.

[Guaporense]

All right. I already nominated 8 songs anyway. I just wished to nominate a Black Sabbath and a song from Accept, to get all major heavy metal bands in the game. But now my dream has been destroyed. :( All right, that's not exactly a real problem.

[Godoggo]

Sorry Guap. I hate to destroy your dreams, but I hadn't gone this round. Besides both those songs I nominated are amazing.

I still can't get the YouTube videos to post. It worked last round, but not this time. Stupid IPhone.

[jiraffejustin]

So we have 64 now right? I will set up the bracket some time tomorrow. Sorry, I haven't been able to pay proper attention to this, vacations in the real world tend to get in the way.

[Miss Vicky]

God's Gonna Cut You Down~Johnny Cash

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht7mxF9XZiA

Ever Fallen in Love~The Buzzcocks

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G0AF0g08aU

Fixed.

You had spaces between the code and the url that created an error.

[Godoggo]

Thanks a million. Yeah, I was trying to edit that, but for some reason it wouldn't let me. I have to view this thread from the mobile site and I can't seem to do everything I can do from the main site. Yoda's revamping the mobile site soon though, so it should be easier to use.

[Miss Vicky]

That first video has been removed from youtube. What song was it?

[Guaporense]

So, when the tournament is beginning?

[weeman]

That first video has been removed from youtube. What song was it?

Ah, it was "I Get Around"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbbozvdvFDo

[Miss Vicky]

So we have 64 now right? I will set up the bracket some time tomorrow. Sorry, I haven't been able to pay proper attention to this, vacations in the real world tend to get in the way.

This was posted on 7/19. It's now 7/27 and the OP was last online 7/25.

I think somebody's going to need to take over or this tournament simply isn't going to happen at all.

[jiraffejustin]

I'll do it. I just kept forgetting about this, as some real life stuff has sort of limited my activities.
