MoFo Christmas Song Tournament

[Miss Vicky]

Okay folks it’s time for yet another MoFo Song Tournament!

Since it’s almost December and all, I’ve decided that I’m going to make this one Christmas themed. (That’s right, an atheist is running a Christmas song tournament!) This will be a 64 song tournament because, quite frankly, I don’t want to listen to 128 Christmas songs.

I’ll start off with sign ups and then divide the 64 slots as evenly as possible among the participants. Those who sign up may nominate any Christmas (or winter/other December holiday) themed song from any artist in any genre, including instrumental and novelty songs, as long as they can provide a link to a working YouTube video for each nomination.

Multiple nominations of the same song will be accepted if each nomination is by a different artist. For example, if someone has already nominated Eartha Kitt’s “Santa Baby” (and I hope they don’t) and you want to nominate Madonna’s “Santa Baby” (and I hope you don’t), both nominations will be accepted. All matchups will be determined at random from the remaining pool of nominees.

Just like in previous tournaments, I will require that all nominating participants vote in every match of a set. There will be one minor change to the voting process, however. For the sake of keeping things moving, tied matches will be broken by random drawing. That is, I’ll put the names of participating voters into a randomizer and select one name. Whichever nomination that person voted for will be the winner.

Sign-ups are now open and will close at approx. 7:00 p.m. Pacific time on Monday, December 2nd. Each participant will be assigned their number of nominations at that time.

As a side note, if you don't trust me to run this tournament honestly, then don't participate. Anybody who makes accusations of cheating will not have their votes counted. Also, as usual I will not accept votes or nominations from any user that I know or suspect to be the alias of another MoFo.

[jiraffejustin]

I will go ahead and sign up, even though I loathe Christmas music.

[The Sci-Fi Slob]

Sign me up.

[The Gunslinger45]

Count me in too!

[Miss Vicky]

I will go ahead and sign up, even though I loathe Christmas music.

I hate most of it, too. There are a few songs that I enjoy, though.

[honeykid]

Cool. That's three of us who don't care for Christmas songs but are playing. :D Count me in.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Sign me up. I hope to have a Wonderful Christmas Time.

[Godoggo]

In.

[Sexy Celebrity]

That's 7 people already. Does this thing really need to wait until Monday? I wanna nominate. It's only 64 songs.

[Miss Vicky]

That's 7 people already. Does this thing really need to wait until Monday? I wanna nominate. It's only 64 songs.

It's still November. So, yes, it does need to wait.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I won't argue. I'm tired of arguing.

[Thursday Next]

I'm in!

[Dorothy Michaels]

I want to play, but something tells me I can't. I can't explain why. Women's intuition.

[Mmmm Donuts]

I want to play, but something tells me I can't. I can't explain why. Women's intuition.

Besides, 8 players is a great fit. A perfect 8 songs apiece. I'll pass this time, but I'll definitely be voting every now and then.

[Dorothy Michaels]

Besides, 8 players is a great fit. A perfect 8 songs apiece. I'll pass this time, but I'll definitely be voting every now and then.

Oh, dear, you shouldn't have to pass just because of that. There's bound to be someone who will show up here later and make it 9 or 10 or 11 people... after all, she's got signups open for DAYS. Go ahead and sign up!

[nebbit]

I'm in :yup:

[jiraffejustin]

Is it okay if I back out? I think with nebbit joining in and me dropping out it would keep us at 8. So that's perfect.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Yeah, but signups aren't over until December 2nd.

[nebbit]

Is it okay if I back out? I think with nebbit joining in and me dropping out it would keep us at 8. So that's perfect.
Don't drop out :bawling:

[Miss Vicky]

Is it okay if I back out? I think with nebbit joining in and me dropping out it would keep us at 8. So that's perfect.

It's up to you.

[jiraffejustin]

I guess I will stick it out, since it will be uneven I request the lesser amount of nominations.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Let's get to nominating! Forget this December 2nd thing. It's DECEMBER 1ST!

[Miss Vicky]

Let's get to nominating! Forget this December 2nd thing. It's DECEMBER 1ST!

No. Learn to be patient for once in your damn life.

Nominations will begin on December 2nd at sometime around 7:00 p.m. Pacific time, once the slots have been divided up by me. Anybody who tries to sneak in early nominations will be disqualified.

[Sexy Celebrity]

No. Learn to be patient for once in your damn life.

Learn to be more relaxed.

No. Learn to be patient for once in your damn life.

Nominations will begin on December 2nd at sometime around 7:00 p.m. Pacific time, once the slots have been divided up by me. Anybody who tries to sneak in early nominations will be disqualified.

If that is the case I will have to opt out. I am going into the field tomorrow for ten days. And it would be a pain to try and participate with just an I-phone which will probably be dead in a day or so.

[Miss Vicky]

Well sorry to hear you're having to back out, GS, but I did include the sign up deadline in my original post.

[Sexy Celebrity]

ALMOST TIME TO NOMINATE!!!!

I'm thinking about my possible nominations right now.

Let's all have a good time and a Happy Holiday season.

[Miss Vicky]

Okay it's nomination time! The following MoFos are signed up to nominate:

Miss Vicky
The SciFi Slob
jiraffejustin
honeykid
Sexy Celebrity
Goddoggo
Thursday Next
Nebbit

Each person will get 8 nominations. Nominations will be open until approx. 7:30 p.m. Pacific Time tomorrow. If anyone on the list fails to post their nominations by that time, I will extend nominations by 24 hours. If they still fail, they will forfeit and their slots will be divided among the other participants.

Please format your links as shown in this example:

Alvin and the Chipmunks - The Christmas Song (Don't Be Late) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiNmVdFlIL4)

Type out each nomination as: Artist Name, space, hyphen, space, song title. Then hi-light the title, click the "Insert Link" button and paste the url into the window that appears. Please do not number your nominations.

As in previous tournaments, I will only use videos that I can view. If I catch a link that is not viewable in the U.S. before noms close, I will ask you to change the link. Otherwise I will do my best to find the correct song to replace your link with.

Happy nominating!

** Miss Vicky, I can't believe you didn't nominate Wham!

Meh. I like George Michael, but I'm not crazy about that song. Besides I only get 8 nominations, so there were several songs I had to leave out.

[Godoggo]

Not a fan?

[Miss Vicky]

Not a fan?

Well "Santa Baby" is nowhere near as bad as "Wonderful Christmas Time", but no I'm not a fan.

[honeykid]

Slade - Merry Xmas Everyone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6YbLZf8i5I)
Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoxQ4Ul_DME)

Chris Rea - Driving Home For Christmas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UelyKSDRc4)
Judy Garland - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yudgy30Dd68)

I've either pissed of the Brits by nicking a good few of their choices or because I've posted lots of song they hate. :D

[Miss Vicky]

I'm only familiar with one of hk's nominations (Mariah Carey, which I considered nominating). This should be interesting.

[Sexy Celebrity]

:mad: I hate you both right now.

Mine might change.

[Mmmm Donuts]

Anyone who decides to nominate Josh Groban - Believe (The Polar Express song) will have my vote, forever and always.

[honeykid]

I'm only familiar with one of hk's nominations (Mariah Carey, which I considered nominating). This should be interesting.
I'm a bit surprised you haven't heard Judy Garland's version of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, if only because Meet Me In St. Louis is such a classsic. I wasn't sure about whether the Chris Rea track would be well known Stateside, but all the other you've not heard, I think, are very UK-centric, which is why I nominated them and made that comment about pissing the other Brits off. :D

[Godoggo]

I'm glad you nominated Judy Garland, HK. I forgot about it until just a bit ago. I was in a rush because I wanted to nominate The Pogues before anyone else did.

Donut, I might change one of mine to that song. I really could get rid of my Jewel song with no problem. I like her voice a lot, but that's a really stupid version.

[Thursday Next]

All these have already been chosen, SFS. Unless you really did mean Band Aid 1948. :D

[The Sci-Fi Slob]

All these have already been chosen, SFS. Unless you really did mean Band Aid 1948. :D

Band Aid 48 was a really good concert. Hanks Williams was headlining with Jim Reeves and The Rolling Stones supporting.

[honeykid]

Really? Blimey, the Stones started even younger than I thought. :D

[Miss Vicky]

Yeah anything that's already been nominated will have to be changed, SFS.

I'm surprised nobody has nominated John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)." I almost did but changed to The Ronettes at the last minute.

[Sexy Celebrity]

5. Tales from the Crypt - Moe Teitlebaum (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrqjRTgWdKw)

6. Tales from the Crypt - We Wish You'd Bury the Missus (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7SM0OqYEX0)

You nominated Tales From The Crypt Christmas songs, too?!

[Sexy Celebrity]

Bing Crosby – White Christmas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aShUFAG_WgM)

Probably gonna be the winner.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I'm surprised nobody has nominated John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)."

Everyone hates that damn song.

[Mmmm Donuts]

Your choice Godoggo. :p I just wanted to point out that I like that song a lot. I guess I just like songs that focus on Christmas spirit.

But yes, if someone where to nominate that, I would keep my promise there...

Also, wonder if Mr. Grinch will be thrown in here. It's catchy. :)

[Miss Vicky]

Everyone hates that damn song.

I don't hate that song.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I don't hate that song.

I see.

[Miss Vicky]

A little less than 90 minutes left and we haven't gotten all the nominations, plus there are duplicates that need to be resolved.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Had I ran this tournament, this would have been completed already.

[Godoggo]

I changed mine. Post already edited. I had to throw out that stupid Jewel song. I hope someone nominates O Holy Night. I thought about it, but I want to keep what I have.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I think I should change. Three Tales from the Crypt songs is a lot for a 64 song Christmas tournament.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Okay. Nominated a classic since nobody else did.

[Sexy Celebrity]

OMG. I just considered nominating something and found out it was that Tom Petty song Miss Vicky nominated.

[jiraffejustin]

As I said, either I've taken most the good ones or all the hated ones, depending on your view. :D


I've already chosen that, JJ.

My bad. I will change it.

[Miss Vicky]

So we're still short and still have duplicates. I'm going to grab some dinner then PM those who haven't nominated or who have duplicates. Nominations will be open another 24 hours.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Ugh. This tournament's as slow as Christmas.

[jiraffejustin]

Changed my duped nom to Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker. I think it's the longest "song" in the tournament.

[Miss Vicky]

ugh. This tournament's as slow as christmas.

stfu.

I hope the final two are the same song performed by different artists.

That would certainly be interesting and we've got several possiblities for that to happen, including three different version of "The Little Drummer Boy"

[Sexy Celebrity]

Yeah, well, I'd be shocked as someone finding Ellen DeGeneres kissing Santa Claus if Grace Jones' "Little Drummer Boy" managed to wiggle its way to the final two.

[Miss Vicky]

Yeah, well, I'd be shocked as someone finding Ellen DeGeneres kissing Santa Claus if Grace Jones' "Little Drummer Boy" managed to wiggle its way to the final two.

Okay, yeah, I don't think that'll go very far. I like it, but I don't expect it to last long. I quite enjoy the Crosby/Bowie version and Seger's version is my favorite Christmas song ever.

[Miss Vicky]

That third matchup just scares me.


Awww. I didn't care for that Rolf Harris song, but I love "Ho Ho ****ing Ho."

[Sexy Celebrity]

I liked the "Six White Boomers" song but "Ho Ho ****ing Ho" sounds like a Priscilla, Queen of the Desert Christmas song sang by Guy Pearce's character, Felicity.

My "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" song is getting run over by reindeer.

[Mmmm Donuts]

My "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" song is getting run over by reindeer.

It is the Ronettes after all. I'm surprised you didn't vote for them yourself, even though it's your song against them lol.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I like the Ronettes song, but didn't want Grandma run over already!

[Miss Vicky]

My "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" song is getting run over by reindeer.

Rightly so. "Sleigh Ride" is a much better song.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I just wonder what's gonna win. The streak of bands winning still has not been broken after all this time. Will a band win the Christmas song tournament or will a solo artist finally break through?

[Mmmm Donuts]

I think solo artists have a great shot of winning this time. But you never know.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I must say I'm glad there's only 64 songs. A week of getting down to 64 songs would have been too time consuming for now.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Tchaikovsky - The Nutcracker -I bet this song wins.

Oh, hell no. I only voted for that because the Bee Gees song was boring. The minute a better song comes along, it's outta here. I am not impressed by that almost 2 hour long thing! Is that really considered a song? It's more like a play.

[Mmmm Donuts]

Oh, hell no. I only voted for that because the Bee Gees song was boring. The minute a better song comes along, it's outta here. I am not impressed by that almost 2 hour long thing! Is that really considered a song? It's more like a play.

Yeah, it is quite lengthy. This is coming from the guy who nominated In a Gadda Da Vida, so you know it's seriously long.

[Sexy Celebrity]

In a Gadda Da Vida is a lot more tolerable than almost 2 hours. I would be very disappointed if "Nutcracker" won. It's not what I had in mind for this tournament. If he had used a much, much shorter piece from it -- that would have been fine. But not this almost 2 hour long thing!

[Miss Vicky]

Yeah I really don't think The Nutcracker is going to win. I only voted for it because I didn't like the Bee Gees song at all.

[jiraffejustin]

Tchaikovsky >>>>> all of your noms.

This is sent out to everybody other than me. :D

[Sexy Celebrity]

I mean, I dig the fact that you nominated such an INTENSE, NEVERENDING, monumental, beloved instrumental Christmas piece... but damn. For me, as I was going through my nominations, I actually thought about the song length. Over four minutes for a Christmas song just seems like too long for me. There's something about Christmas songs that fits well with them being at a 2-3 minute limit.

[jiraffejustin]

I didn't initially nominate it, I wanted to but took the length into consideration. When I found out I accidentally duped a nom, I said f*ck it.

[Sexy Celebrity]

You want to secure a win. You're pissed off that you've been second place twice, but never first place (like me -- twice).

[Mmmm Donuts]

I'm sure he appreciates that insightful analysis. :rolleyes:

[Sexy Celebrity]

IT'S ON!

We are in the midst of a new song tournament competition!

[Mmmm Donuts]

[jiraffejustin]

Umm. Winning one of these things is as important to me as winning a pre-season game.


and if I wanted to win, I would stop nomming rap songs. You guys really hate rap.

[Sexy Celebrity]

For this, we have substituted rap for Tales From The Crypt.

Too bad Tales From The Hood didn't come out with a Christmas album.

"Christmas in Hollis" was heard in Die Hard. I was trying to think of where I had heard that song.

[honeykid]

So far the match ups are killing me. Two against each other and two against Elvis and Brenda Lee and in this one I'm up against bloody Wham! All this and the whole thing will probably be won by that bloody Pogues song. :( Still, at least Greg Lake made it through.

[Mmmm Donuts]

I don't like that rendition of "Baby It's Cold Outside" at all. Tom Jones is fine, but that woman just irritates me.

That Little Drummer Boy video scares me. Why are they making that innocent boy puppet play the drum for their entertainment? Cruel men...

But another great set overall.

[honeykid]

*GASP*

I will not let Brenda Lee's classic Christmas song go out in the first round
Don't worry, the yanks will save her.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I thought that "Baby It's Cold Outside" video seemed stupid, too. I guess Godoggo nominated it since she voted for it.

[Mmmm Donuts]

I prefer Zooey Deschanel's rendition of the song myself, but I'd say I'm the minority there. :D

[Godoggo]

I thought that "Baby It's Cold Outside" video seemed stupid, too. I guess Godoggo nominated it since she voted for it.

Wasn't me. I voted for it because of Tom Jones.

Not a fan of the Savage Garden version. That song needs George Michael.

Pfff, both not my kind of christmas song. Not voting on this one.



I think you have to vote for every matchup, it might be one of the rules. I feel you though, some sets are "undesirable".

[Cobpyth]

I think you have to vote for every matchup, it might be one of the rules. I feel you though, some sets are "undesirable".

Voted anyway. :)

[Miss Vicky]

I think you have to vote for every matchup, it might be one of the rules. I feel you though, some sets are "undesirable".

No. Only people who nominated songs have to vote in every match of a set. I set that rule because I feel it's unfair for anyone to expect other people to listen to and vote for their nominations if they're not going to do the same for others.

If you didn't nominate any songs, you can skip matches you don't care for.

Incidentally, Cobpyth's vote puts match 7 in a tie.

He got an enlarged heart and died in his cave. None of the villagers bothered to search for his body. His dog ate the remains of his corpse.

Miss Vicky, now I understand your Eartha Kitt hatred.

I don't hate Eartha Kitt. I hate that song. I hate the Madonna version of it, too.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Oh no. Two of my best songs up against each other.

[Miss Vicky]

Oh no. Two of my best songs up against each other.

Well you did have more nominations than anybody else, so you had the greatest risk of having that happen.

Gee, I wonder why "Wonderful Christmas Time" was the very last song to be put up for nominations.

[Miss Vicky]

Gee, I wonder why "Wonderful Christmas Time" was the very last song to be put up for nominations.

Because it was the last slip to get drawn, well second to last actually. Fountains of Wayne was the last one. I'm just sad it's going up against Fountains of Wayne and will probably win. I was hoping it'd go up against "White Christmas" or even "Santa Baby" - since that would have eliminated one of them.

[Sexy Celebrity]

"Wonderful Christmas Time" is gonna win the whole thing.

[Miss Vicky]

"Wonderful Christmas Time" is gonna win the whole thing.

I will seriously never speak to you people again if that piece of sh*t wins.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I will seriously never speak to you people again if that piece of sh*t wins.

I'll speak enough for the both of us to make up for that.

I'll only say HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[Miss Vicky]

I want to give you +rep because you voted for all three of my noms in this set, Mr. Donuts, but you voted for that ****ing McCartney song. :mad:

[Mmmm Donuts]

Hmmm, I hope my votes don't get me in trouble. :rolleyes:

[Miss Vicky]

Also, I can't believe both of you guys voted for that stupid "Feliz Navidad" over Band Aid.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Also, I can't believe both of you guys voted for that stupid "Feliz Navidad" over Band Aid.

Oh, Miss Vicky, you don't want a copy of my homemade Christmas CD.

Jose Feliciano's "Feliz Navidad" is probably my favorite Christmas song. "Wonderful Christmas Time" is good, but "Feliz Navidad" is where it's at. If it wins the tournament, it will truly be a Merry Christmas for me.

[Miss Vicky]

"Feliz Navidad" is annoying. Not punch somebody in the face level annoying, but it's pretty irritating. I love "Do They Know It's Christmas." The only reason why I didn't nominate it is because I assumed somebody else would.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Christmas is annoying. It fits.

[Miss Vicky]

Feliz Navidad's probably somewhere on my list of least favorite Christmas songs. Along with "Wonderful Christmas Time," "Santa Baby" "The Christmas Shoes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpkI7GW2V34)" and "The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqRuTQ5IlI4)"

[Sexy Celebrity]

I don't like "The Christmas Shoes." That I completely agree with.

Tell me about it. :(

[Sexy Celebrity]

Vote out the song that beat it in the next round.

[honeykid]

That doesn't bring it back, so revenge is pointless.

[Mmmm Donuts]

Well, you guys have to be consistent. :D

[Miss Vicky]

Ugh, I miss one day and Slade are out? :(


That match was tied. If you'd been here to vote for them, Slade would have have won. C'est la vie.

[honeykid]

Yeah, I knew I'd really need the Brits on board to have much chance of getting any of my songs through.

I do have to admit that I'm pleasantly surprised to see the Pogues getting beaten. I honestly thought that had a great chance of winning because, for reasons I've never understood, so many people like it and it's always at or near the top of any Christmas songs list. But a good number of you must hate it as much as me for it to be being beaten by that crappy Grace Jones thing. Well done, my fellow MoFoer's. :up:

[Sexy Celebrity]

That doesn't bring it back, so revenge is pointless.

Doesn't matter - you'll feel better.

[Mmmm Donuts]

Doesn't matter - you'll feel better.

But there's nothing wrong with that Little Drummer Boy, so no, stop encouraging this madness.

[Miss Vicky]

Hey, I actually quite enjoyed that "crappy Grace Jones thing." If there was a full version of that song available, I'd buy it.

But the vocals on that Pogues song are pretty bad. I think it would've had to have been up against something truly dreadful for me to vote for it.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Yeah, I knew I'd really need the Brits on board to have much chance of getting any of my songs through.

Stop being so British!

I do have to admit that I'm pleasantly surprised to see the Pogues getting beaten.

Anyway, I'm very unfamiliar with that Pogues song. I don't even know if I had heard it before. It rang no familiar bells for me.

[Godoggo]

I thought Little Drummer Boy and Fairytale of New York would last much longer. I should know after so many of these tournaments that songs I really, really love have a snowballs chance in the deepest pit of hell. :p

[Sexy Celebrity]

"Little Drummer Boy" is sticking around. The Grace Jones version, that is.

[Godoggo]

Yeah, I was talking about the really good version.

[Thursday Next]

Anyway, I'm very unfamiliar with that Pogues song. I don't even know if I had heard it before. It rang no familiar bells for me.

How is that even possible? I've heard the bloody thing at least 50 times this year already.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Yeah, I was talking about the really good version.

Oh, okay. So was I.

[Sexy Celebrity]

How is that even possible? I've heard the bloody thing at least 50 times this year already.

Maybe it's a UK thing?

I'm not familiar with it.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Yeah, it's a UK phenomenon, according to the Wiki page about the song. I'm seeing that it's really big over there -- declared the best Christmas song of all time, even, over there. But there's, like, NOTHING about how it did in the U.S.

I wasn't familiar with the song and I guess that's why.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I guess we don't want to hear the British singing about New York.

When you talk about New York, you've gotta BE New York over here.

You need to be East coast. Street smart. Like I am.

And, like Dorothy Michaels.

[Thursday Next]

I would listen to the Dorothy Michaels version.

[Miss Vicky]

Yeah, I was talking about the really good version.

The really good version is sticking around for now, though it nearly lost to Slade.

Also, I don't think I'd ever heard that Pogues song before this tournament either.

[Sexy Celebrity]

We don't need The Pogues in the U.S.

We have Grace Jones!

Jamaican born, but New York in spirit.

We don't need The Pogues in the U.S.
Believe me, we don't need them here, either. Sadly, that's not stopped them. :( However, with the amount of 'Irish' people over there, I'm a little surprised it appears to be so little known. Maybe it's the words "******" and "arsehole"? Count yourselves lucky.

Oh, wait a minute. Mud - "Lonely For Christmas" is that song from Round 1 that I liked and voted for. I forgot what it was called.

Is that one of your noms, Honeykid? Oh, wait, no it's not, you don't like it. Looks like your kind of nomination, though.
