Cars, Trucks and Driving Song Tournament
http://images.clipartpanda.com/driving-clipart-9T4eBqqac.jpeg
I thought this one sounded like a fun idea. I think we need at least eight people for this to work well, so hopefully enough people will be interested in joining. I'll give people enough time to sign up and pick their song nominations.
Rules:
All nominated songs must be about cars, trucks, or even just driving. All genres are eligible, as long as the song matches the theme. If you're not sure if a song is eligible, please ask.
I think it's safe to assume that everyone will be able to nominate at least eight songs, so you can start posting your nominations as soon as you join the tournament. Please keep your nominations in one post. You can edit your nominations up until the time the nominations close, but please make a new post to let everyone know that your nominations have changed.
Any song is allowed as long as you can provide a link to it. Everyone uses YouTube, but you can also link from Grooveshark and those types of sites if you prefer, as long as they don't require anyone to sign up for the site to listen to the song.
To be fair to everyone, you must listen to both songs to vote. You must vote from the beginning of the tournament to continue voting throughout the tournament. Unless a tie-breaking vote is requested, anyone who hasn't voted consistently will not be allowed to vote in the final rounds.
If you have any questions, please ask.
And most importantly, everyone should HAVE FUN!! :)

I haven't read through the whole list, but as long as nobody objects to the songs, then yes, all those songs should meet the criteria.
I'm not very strict about the theme anyway, so as long the song is close to the theme, and nobody objects to it, I'll allow it.

I added the rest of the nominations to the list in the first post on page 1.
There are a lot of songs listed that I've never heard of, and I checked to make sure that the links are working, but didn't check the lyrics for everything. So if anyone notices a song that doesn't qualify with this theme, let me know before we start the tournament. Changes can be made until we start the tournament, but after we start the tournament, it will be too late to change any nominations.
I approved the final song from Honeykid, and I'm just waiting for the link to add it to the list in the first post.
There's still room for more people to join, so if anyone else is interested in joining, you still have a few hours to post your nominations. (If you want to join, but you don't know how this works or how to add links, just ask and we'll be happy to help.)
If we don't get any more members within the next few hours, I'll figure out how many more songs we each need to add to bring this up to 128 songs, so start thinking about your possible additional songs, just in case we need them.

I'm pretty lenient about letting songs stay in if they're close enough, and I just don't have the time to look up the lyrics to every song, so unless anyone objects to any specific songs, these songs seem okay to me.

Gbg - just to mention that if we do need to come up with extra tracks and you want to start this tonight I hopefully (puddies permitting) won't be staying up too late tonight as I was up at 3:30am throwing shapes in the Jacks and haven't been back to sleep since ... so best to let me know in the next two or three hours (for reference it's nearly 7:15pm here now). Later than that and I'll have to pick any additional songs tomorrow morning my time.
You'll have enough time to pick your extra songs if they're necessary. If nobody else joins within the next few hours, it looks like everyone (except me) will have to add four more songs, so I'll probably leave this open until tomorrow night for the extra songs, and then we'll probably start the tournament tomorrow night. (I'll let you know when to start posting your extra songs, but I want to wait a little while just in case anyone else wants to join.)
Hubby won't be home from work until around 7PM, (and sometimes he has to stay late), so he'll need extra time too. (He gave me a short list of extra songs in case he needed them, but I think most of them have already been picked by the rest of you. :shrug: )

I think "Electric Avenue" is absolutely a road/driving song. There's driving in the music video, it's a road... and even if you just don't think about whatever the song's supposed to mean.... it's definitely a "car" kind of song.
The "Little Red Corvette" of my Prince song isn't actually about a corvette -- it's a metaphor for the slutty woman he's singing about.

I'm working on my song list right this second. Crud you guys already snagged every song I can think of. Question: can I nominate the same song by a different artist?
Yes, you can nominate the same song by a different artist. Very often the same song can sound very different when it's recorded by two different artists, so there's no reason that both versions shouldn't be allowed.
If the two versions sound very similar, you may not want to nominate the same song again because it may hurt you in the voting, but it's still eligible because even just a different voice can make a difference in the voting.

I don't know if choosing the same song by a different artist is considered taboo or not? What has been the thoughts on that in other song tournaments?
EDIT: I just read that GBG said it was OK. But I want to be fair with SilentVamp, so I have another if she wants me to replace it, it will be all good:)

I have to run some errands, so there's still time to change songs if anyone didn't nominate something they wanted just because they thought it wasn't eligible because there was a different version already nominated.

I think if the two versions sound similar, it doesn't make sense for both songs to be nominated, but if the two versions sound different, then it might be fun to have both versions in the same tournament.
(This is my own personal opinion, not a rule. Both versions would be eligible even if they sound similar.)
For example, UB40's version of "Red, Red Wine" (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L6gya6Fzurw) is so different from Neil Diamond's original version (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BeJ55sUacPM) that it barely sounds like the same song.

If everyone wants to give up one song, we should be able to fit you into the tournament.
Right now, there are 11 people who joined.
Chypmunk has 11 songs, I only have 9 songs, and the other nine people each have 12 songs, so if everyone except Chypmunk and me give up one song, that would give you 9 songs.
But I won't force anyone to give up a song, so if anyone refuses, you might have less songs. :shrug:

So far only one person has responded, so we'll see how many songs we can get you once everyone replies.
I noticed that you have a version of the song "Mercury Blues" that's very similar to the Alan Jackson version of the same song that I nominated. They're both allowed because they're different versions, but I'll change mine to a different song because they sound pretty close.
I'll remove my Alan Jackson version of "Mercury Blues", and add this song instead:

I'll have to ask Hubby if that's okay. He was kind of upset about giving it up, so he might be more upset if someone else wins with it, but I'll ask him. (He's sleeping right now, but he usually wakes up a couple of times during the night and comes in here to annoy me for a little while. :lol: )
If he doesn't mind, then I'll change it.
The funny thing is that we actually discussed this possibility when Cricket gave up "Slow Ride" because he considered picking it up, but we both agreed that it might not be fair to pick up a song that someone dropped to make room. We were going to ask Cricket about how he would feel about someone else taking the song that he dropped, but then Hubby decided not to bother because he couldn't decide which song to drop for it anyway.
BTW, I like that Sammy Kershaw song, and I was kind of excited to see it in the tournament. It was a song that I considered nominating.

Thanks to the people who were willing to give up a song, it looks like we were able to give Teeter 7 songs, so I put back Teeter's Sammy Kershaw song, in addition to the Metallica song.
So if I did the math right, we now have 128 songs, and the breakdown is pretty close per person.
Eight people have 11 songs each.
Derek and Fabulous have 12 songs each.
I have 9 songs.
Teeter has 7 songs.
So that's 88 + 24 + 9 + 7 = 128 songs.
When are you planning on starting GBG? Give me a 'so many hours from now time' . I'm out tonight and just want to see if I have to check in when I get home .

It's up to you at this point. If you want to drop a song to give Teeter one more song, that would be okay, but we made room for Teeter to have 7 songs.
If you want to drop a song, just let me know which song, and then Teeter can post another song, and I'll add it to the list.
I need about another 1 - 2 hours to finish my work, then I'll be ready to start, so if both songs are posted by then, I'll make the switch. If not, then we'll stay with the songs that are listed now.

ROUND 1 - DAY 1
Long Black Limousine - Elvis Presley vs. The Rip Chords - Hey Little Cobra-I liked that 2nd one but it's tough going against the King when he's in fine form.
The Playmates - Beep Beep (Little Nash Rambler) vs. Used Cars - Bruce Springsteen-Same story as the first match, only this time it's the Boss.
Racing in the Street - Bruce Springsteen vs. Petrol - Ash-That's 6 songs in a row I don't know, again, it's the Bossman for me.
C.W. McCall - Convoy vs. War - Low Rider-Finally two songs I know well and like. I'm going with the one I don't hear enough.
Route 66 - Nat 'King' Cole vs. Autophilia - The Bluetones-I prefer Depeche Mode's version of Route 66.
Tricky - Car Crash vs. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang-Wish I could vote for both.
Avenged Sevenfold - Dear God vs. Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run-It's a stretch to say the first is a driving song, but it's good. Tough matchup for it though.
Leader Of The Pack - The Shangri-Las vs. Jeepster - T,Rex-I can't believe how many times I've heard Jeepster in these tournaments. I've never heard it once otherwise.

I love Elvis Presley's voice, and I usually love his songs, but I'd never heard this one before, and it just didn't do much for me. :shrug:

Well, this isn't a song that I listen to much of Elvis'. I like it. I like it more for the lyrics than anything else. It is actually quite moving (for me, at least) when you realize what it is about. Would it be a favorite Elvis song? No. But I still like it nonetheless.

Where did all this Bruce Springsteen come from all of a sudden?
I think the Springsteen songs were all nominated by different people. (I think there are four Springsteen songs that were nominated, and it would have been five if Sexy Celebrity hadn't dropped out.)
The strange thing is that I ran the whole list through the randomizer about 10 times to try to get a better mix, and somehow three Springsteen songs ended up in this round. (At least they didn't end up against each other. :shrug: )

ROUND 1 - DAY 1
Long Black Limousine - Elvis Presley vs. The Rip Chords - Hey Little Cobra (It's a shame the quality isn't better, but it's much more my thing than the usual drone of an Elvis croon)
The Playmates - Beep Beep (Little Nash Rambler) vs. Used Cars - Bruce Springsteen (Man, this is like being given the choice of being shot with a pistol or a revolver.)
Racing in the Street - Bruce Springsteen vs. Petrol - Ash (:()
C.W. McCall - Convoy vs. War - Low Rider (Finally get two songs I like and they're against each other. :( Gotta go with Convoy, though, because I just love that film and have done nearly all my life.)
Route 66 - Nat 'King' Cole vs. Autophilia - The Bluetones (The other one's ok but I doubt I'd choose to hear it again. Unless it wins this tie, of course. :D)
Tricky - Car Crash vs. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Almost anything could've beaten the bloody car song. This was the kind of crap I was expected to watch as a kid. It's no wonder I watched I Spit On Your Grave and the like instead. :D.)
Avenged Sevenfold - Dear God vs. Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run (One of the few Springsteen songs I really like)
Leader Of The Pack - The Shangri-Las vs. Jeepster - T,Rex (All bar one of the songs I like are drawn against each other. Both these are mine so I don't really mind which goes through. Jeepster isn't top tier T.Rex for me, so I'm going to go with Leader Of The Pack, which is a song I just love and don't get bored with.)

I wasn't gonna join this tournament (originally) if I hadn't started hearing Bruce Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac" playing in my head and reminding me that I knew of some car songs. "Pink Cadillac" should have remained nominated and won this tournament.

John Denver - Country Roads vs. Hep Stars - Cadillac-Hep C>>Hep Stars
No Particular Place to Go - Chuck Berry vs. The Avons - Seven Little Girls Sitting In The Back Seat-That second song was a turn off for me. Now, if it was Seven milfs...
John Schneider - In the Driver's Seat vs. In Your Car - Big Deal-Like both, went with nostalgia.
The Osmonds - Crazy Horses vs. Cake - The Distance-As I said, I nominated The Distance recently. Hopefully it does better this time for CR.
Led Zeppelin - Trampled Under Foot vs. Sammy Johns-Chevy Van-That's one of the many great Zep songs, but I've always wanted a Chevy conversion van. My wife just won't let me have one.
There Is A Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths vs. Robert Plant - Big Log-This was a tough choice between two good songs.

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths vs. Robert Plant - Big Log (I don't like either, but most things are better than the whining of The Smiths)
Chris Spedding - Motor Biking vs. 92 Subaru - Fountains of Wayne (I wasn't expecting it to do well, but I hoped it might get a decent draw in the first round.)

Chris Rea - The Road To Hell vs. Jan & Dean - Little Deuce Coupe-Close, but I prefer the more ominous style of the first one.

ROUND 1 - DAY 3
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Travellin' Band vs. Bitchin’ Camero – Dead Milkmen (This was easy, though I didn't really dislike the other)
Saxon - Wheels Of Steel vs. Bauhaus - The Spy In The Cab (I don't think I'd heard the Bauhaus track before. Always loved the Saxon track, so it was unlikely a first listen of most songs would've beaten it)
Chris Rea - The Road To Hell vs. Jan & Dean - Little Deuce Coupe (I prefer The Road To Hell, but I don't want to sit through 2+ minutes before I get to it.)
The Little Old Lady From Pasadena - The Beach Boys vs. Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Road Trippin' vs. Aaron Tippin- Ain't Nothing Wrong With the Radio (For once that was a RHC song which didn't sound like one of the two types they do. Had I really not liked the other song I might've gone with it.)
Bob Seger-Roll Me Away vs. Queen - Bicycle Race (Really. really, easy for me.)
Bob Seger-Turn the Page vs. Foreigner - Rev On the Red Line (When are Americans going to realise that, for the most part, Bob Seger sucks? :p:D)
Chevy Thunder - Spector vs. Cream - Crossroads (I liked both)

ROUND 1 - DAY 4
Lonesome Road - Frank Sinatra vs. The Allman Brothers-Midnight Rider-My favorite song of the tournament.
Eddie Rabbit - Driving My Life Away vs. Chevrolet - The Black Crows-Eddie was runner up for me in the country tournament, so of course I like it.
Mercedes Benz - Janis Joplin vs. The Beatles - Drive My Car-Both great!
Cars - Gary Numan vs. Drive All Night - Bruce Springsteen-Love Bruce, but this time it's an easy vote against.
The Bee Gees - Marley Purt Drive vs. Johnny Cash - General Lee-Bee Gees rule!
Fuel - Metallica vs. Iggy Pop - The Passenger-I love Metallica, but I don't care for that song.
Robert Johnson - Terraplane Blues vs. Mark Collie - Hardin County Line-Neither are my style but I liked both.
Not The Nine O'Clock News - 'I Like Trucking' vs. Greased Lightning - from "Grease"-I'm just a big Grease fan.

Cars - Gary Numan vs. Drive All Night - Bruce Springsteen
This'll make me sound fussy or picky having previously said I prefer The Boss restrained and contemplative but there is one particular aspect of this song that drives me nuts (the way he 'sings' "heart and soul") and ruins it for me so I have to vote against I'm afraid.
Did I misunderstand what you wrote? Your note sounds like you wanted to vote against Springsteen, but it looks like you voted for him. :confused:
Do you want to vote for or against Springsteen in this match?

Most of these I've never heard before and would be quite happy never to hear again. I was sorry to have to vote against Metallica, Not the Nine o Clock News and the Beatles, since I like those better than some of the ones I did vote for in the other match ups. Except Gary Numan, who should win the entire tournament.

Mercedes Benz - Janis Joplin vs. The Beatles - Drive My Car (An OK Beatles song, but I'll take Janis over The Beatles more often than not.)
Cars - Gary Numan vs. Drive All Night - Bruce Springsteen (I'm not a fan of Springsteen and, I'll be honest, I didn't even listen to this one. There's no way it's beating Cars for me. I'd be happy to see Cars win the whole thing.)
The Bee Gees - Marley Purt Drive vs. Johnny Cash - General Lee (It's not Jonny Cash. Liking it is just a bonus. :D)
Fuel - Metallica vs. Iggy Pop - The Passenger (With a couple of exceptions, I'm not a fan of Mr. Pop. Fuel's a cracking track, too)
Robert Johnson - Terraplane Blues vs. Mark Collie - Hardin County Line (I'll take the blues over country most of the time.)

Hi Ned, I know that you're new here, so I want to explain how these song tournaments work. This is a little bit different than other threads because it's a tournament, so everyone who votes nominated the songs before it started.
It's too late to nominate any songs, but if you want to vote, you have to listen to all of the songs, and then vote in every round. (You can't just pop in every once in a while to vote.) Usually we don't allow people to just join in in the middle, but since we're still in the first round, you can start voting from here forward if you'd like to participate.
Otherwise, I can just keep your votes ready in case we need a tie-breaker. Let me know if you plan to vote in every round, or if I should just use your votes for tie-breaking votes.
BTW, you only voted in 7 matches. You missed this one:
Summertime - DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr0tTbTbmVA) vs. The Eagles - Life in the Fast Lane (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4tcXblWojdM)
Also, we still need a tie-breaker for a couple of matches in the last round if you'd like to vote:

Summertime - DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince vs. The Eagles - Life in the Fast Lane-Hate voting against the first one, but I love The Eagles.

Hot Rod Lincoln - Commander Cody vs. Highway Star – Deep Purple-Love both, so I voted for the one that sounded fresher, due to not hearing as often.
