Dean Martin - Sway vs. Al Green-Let's Stay Together
I Want to Know What Love Is - Foreigner vs. Heart - Alone (Toughest choice. "Alone" is wonderful power ballad, but "I Want to Know What Love Is" does it for me with more calm, work on more layers and wonderful euphoric chorus.)
I'm a Believer - The Monkees vs. Billy Joel-Just the Way You Are
Kenny Rogers - Lady vs. Peggy Lee - Fever

[gbgoodies]

The Carpenters - '(They Long To Be) Close To You' where my winner.

Also sad to see REO Speedwagon is gone.


Those are both great songs, and they would have been deserving winners.

I'm sad to see Harry Connick, Jr. and Neil Diamond gone, and also my George Strait nom, but I knew that had very little chance (if any) of winning. :(

The cover song tournament, and I volunteer you to run it! I like that, I think I suggested it once. But instead of original vs cover in a pairing. It should be 4 songs in two pairings, an original paired with it's cover. But the best 1 of the two covers win. Original songs can't win but are only there for an example.

The problem with the general song tournaments is that we tend to hear a lot of the same songs over and over again. That's why I prefer the themes. It makes people think about what to nominate instead of just choosing the most common songs.

Does anyone have any suggestions for the next song tournament, and are there any volunteers to run it?

She received an email from me yesterday, for some new ideas, so here we go . . .

Favorite genre. Only one genre per person? Each person can choose only one genre each, like maybe I'd choose Heavy Metal, etc . . .

Disco? 'cause it'll never die, damn it!

Heard it in a movie first? Songs that we didn't know existed, until we heard them in a film. Either that, or just our favorite songs from movies. Although I think you said that the second part of this idea was already used. Anyways, I was actually talking about songs that we hear in film, instead of the radio. This idea will bring in a wild variety of music that a lot of people don't know about.

Instrumentals? There are a million of these, but maybe you said that this was already used, too.


We could do happy songs, or we could do songs that make you want to go out and kill somebody.

:D I have a lot of those.

I'm very disappointed in the voters!

I'd rather it would've been Al Green v. Peggy Lee even tho that choice would've stressed me out! However I'd be happy if either Sway or Fever won as I'm not a particularly competitive person. I just love Fever. It's sparse background, just those drums and the snapping fingers, Peggy's languid delivery and phrasing just makes it really hot. It's a great song, love it.
I like Sway too, great orchestration and I think Dean Martin shares with Peggy that same smooth tone of voice, a kinda liquid (is it the scotch??) voice . Two fantastic songs which deservedly beat all the soft rock numbers.

[Chypmunk]

Peggy Lee - Fever

It's the taking part that's important imo.

[SilentVamp]

Instrumentals? There are a million of these, but maybe you said that this was already used, too
There was one of these already. Although I would be willing to do another one, but I don't anticipate another one ever happening.

[gbgoodies]

Peggy Lee - Fever

It's the taking part that's important imo.


That's a surprise. Wasn't "Sway" your nomination?

[Chypmunk]

That's a surprise. Wasn't "Sway" your nomination?
I love Fever. I love Sway too but prefer Fever. Not everything in life is about winning.

[Tugg]

Dean Martin "Sway"

[mistique]

I'm not quite sure on this one... but I think I'm going: Dean Martin - Sway.

[SilentVamp]

Not everything in life is about winning.
:sick:

:D

I think I will be more upset then if your song loses than you will be because I really wanted it to win. :D

[Gatsby]

Peggy Lee - Fever

That's right Chyp, everything in life is voting for Fever. :D

[mojofilter]

I'm surprised that out of all that great songs that were in the tourney, these 2 ended up in the finals.
Not a fan of either song, but for the sake of being a good sport, I will vote for Fever

[Chypmunk]

I think I will be more upset then if your song loses than you will be because I really wanted it to win.
Don't get me wrong I'd be delighted for it to win but don't be upset if it doesn't SV - the song doesn't even know it's in a tourney so it'll remain the same great song irrespective of the outcome ;)

[gbgoodies]

Dean Martin - Sway

[Hubby]

Dean Martin - Sway

Not happy I have to vote for either of these 2 songs. I was hoping either the Beatles or Led Zep would have won and they were not my songs :mad:

[Sexy Celebrity]

If you need my vote, I'm actually going to vote for FEVER.

[gbgoodies]

If you need my vote, I'm actually going to vote for FEVER.


Thanks. I'll let you know if we need your vote.

[Sexy Celebrity]

You probably won't - I just noticed that Derek already voted.

[gbgoodies]

This is a VERY close match, and we're just waiting for CiCi and Ðèstîñy to vote.

[Tugg]

"Fever" is a good song, but there were so many better songs in the tourney.

[Tugg]

There seems to be a tendency for the most inoffensive songs to win because least people dislike them rather than because most people like them.

[Tugg]

I voted for The Outfield "Your Love", Cyndi Lauper, The Seekers "I'll Never Find Another You", REO Speedwagon "Keep On Loving You" and Foreigner "I Want to Know What Love is" over "Fever", sorry (to rain on your parade). :indifferent:

[gbgoodies]

There were a LOT of great songs in this tournament, and it's one of the few times that I love both songs that made it into the finals. I think this is my favorite song tournament since I joined MoFo.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I think this is my favorite song tournament since I joined MoFo.
Sure - I wasn't really involved with it.

8-6.

"Fever" wins.

[Sexy Celebrity]

That's not including my vote.

[Tugg]

It's official: Song Tournaments are dead.
Just because there are not multiple tournaments in progress at the same time, doesn't mean they are dead. The number of posters can only support one active song tournament at a time. But people are still interested in participating.

I was trying to give Ðèstîñy a chance to vote in the finals. :shrug:

She can still vote. But no matter what, "Fever" has won.


Yeah, but that's why I wasn't posting the winner yet. Once you told everyone who won, it just made her vote pointless. :(

[Sexy Celebrity]

I decided to do away with my "Firestarter" song from the EDM Tournament since that didn't actually win. And I put "My Love" as a Runner Up.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Yeah, but that's why I wasn't posting the winner yet. Once you told everyone who won, it just made her vote pointless. :(

Well, I was just saying.... I had counted the votes... wasn't trying to ruin anything.

[Citizen Rules]

Congratulations to Christine for Fever, I love that song!

Congratulations to Chyp for Sway, another awesome song!

[Ðèstîñy]

I love Collin Raye's "Love Me", but while it has a depressing side, it's really more of a love song than a depressing song.

There are much more depressing songs in country music than that song.

That was because he said songs about death.

[gbgoodies]

But it's also about how much they loved each other.

[Tugg]

"Fever" is sex song rather than love song.

[Ðèstîñy]

I'm surprised that out of all that great songs that were in the tourney, these 2 ended up in the finals.
Not a fan of either song, but for the sake of being a good sport, I will vote for Fever

I agreed with everything here, except that I would have voted for Sway. It's on my Zune, but not as a favorite. It's just OK.

I love Fever. I love Sway too but prefer Fever. Not everything in life is about winning.

You were just hell bent on me voting for you again. ;)

There were a LOT of great songs in this tournament, and it's one of the few times that I love both songs that made it into the finals. I think this is my favorite song tournament since I joined MoFo.

I've only been in two, so I suppose they tie. They both had a lot of great songs in them, the song that won wasn't a favorite of mine in either tournament, and the endings were ruined for me. This one was sort lived, though, so I suppose that counts for something.

Yeah, but that's why I wasn't posting the winner yet. Once you told everyone who won, it just made her vote pointless. :(

This is another reason why I asked everyone to PM the answers to me for the final vote. I would have had zero problems posting them after the fact, but it keeps the ending less complicated, and more of a surprise.

But it's also about how much they loved each other.

He never said it couldn't also have something good in it.

[Swan]

What about an Emotion Song Tournament? Where you pick an emotion and the songs you nominate all revolve around that emotion.

Stupid or no?

[Citizen Rules]

I like it! I call revenge for my emotion.


just because I heard a revenge song today.


Crud, I'm not sure if I remember it, it rocked and I hadn't heard it years.

[gbgoodies]

I agreed with everything here, except that I would have voted for Sway. It's on my Zune, but not as a favorite. It's just OK.



With your vote for "Sway", the vote would have been 8-7 in favor of "Fever", so basically Chypmunk voting against his own song cost him the win.

[Tugg]

With your vote for "Sway", the vote would have been 8-7 in favor of "Fever", so basically Chypmunk voting against his own song cost him the win.

It's an interesting idea, but are there enough emotions for everyone to pick a different emotion and still find nominations?

BTW, I'd probably pick sadness or depression as my emotion.

[Tugg]

With your vote for "Sway", the vote would have been 8-7 in favor of "Fever", so basically Chypmunk voting against his own song cost him the win.
I guess all "Fever" wins were closely matched. I'm still sad "I Want to Know What Love is" lost.

[Citizen Rules]

I know, but I still think the final vote should be in PM. Hell, we PM our movie lists in, so what's the freakin' difference!?!

The difference is, if SC runs a tournament and uses a PM for the final vote....will you know what would happen:rolleyes: Then again if he kept his mouth shut for 15 minutes, Destiny could have voted and then the winner would have been announced.

[gbgoodies]

I know, but I still think the final vote should be in PM. Hell, we PM our movie lists in, so what's the freakin' difference!?!


I'm okay with PMing the votes, but for some reason some people just didn't want to do that.

I agree on the 15 minutes, but I must have missed something, because I don't get your first statement.

Nice Job Guys! Nice tournament :)

[Swan]

It's an interesting idea, but are there enough emotions for everyone to pick a different emotion and still find nominations?

Good question GB. I looked up emotion on Wiki and they list a bunch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion

Of course, some might be hard finding songs about, I dunno. Up to you guys if you want to do it. I'm not 100% sure I will be joining, I should say up front, was just throwing the idea out there. But if you guys want to run with it, go ahead.

[Citizen Rules]

I agree on the 15 minutes, but I must have missed something, because I don't get your first statement.SC was red handed caught cheating on one of his song tournaments awhile back. I don't trust him to be fair, if he was running one and the end vote was by PM, he would change the outcome to what he wanted. That's what I meant.

[Sexy Celebrity]

What about an Emotion Song Tournament? Where you pick an emotion and the songs you nominate all revolve around that emotion.

I like that idea a lot. Although, I'm not sure if "Emotion" is the right word, but maybe. I don't know what you'd call it. "Themes" comes to mind, but... something else? Not really "emotion." Like, "revenge" and "depression" are good, but "revenge" isn't an emotion.

[Sexy Celebrity]

The difference is, if SC runs a tournament and uses a PM for the final vote....will you know what would happen:rolleyes:

Guess what? I wouldn't use that method.

Another idea if we can't come up with enough different emotions might be to each pick one song from eight different emotions.

[cricket]

Is horny an emotion?

[Sexy Celebrity]

Another idea if we can't come up with enough different emotions might be to each pick one song from eight different emotions.

Doable.

[Ðèstîñy]

Another idea if we can't come up with enough different emotions might be to each pick one song from eight different emotions.

I like the one of each, idea.

Is horny an emotion?

Of course it is.

[Tugg]

Another idea if we can't come up with enough different emotions might be to each pick one song from eight different emotions.
No to that. Too random.

[Citizen Rules]

Another idea if we can't come up with enough different emotions might be to each pick one song from eight different emotions. I don't like it. If we all pick only one emotion we can have more fun with it.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Yeah, I like the idea of everyone having their own category.

You could call it...... Scattergories Song Tournament

Like the game.

Everyone could have their own theme. Doesn't have to be an emotion. Someone could have all food songs, for example.

[Tugg]

What if each poster chooses an emotion or a theme that somehow represents him/ her?

[Sexy Celebrity]

What if each poster chooses an emotion or a theme that somehow represents him/ her?

I wouldn't have that be a requirement. Why? Because it could take away the fun. And it's too much like "Getting to Know You" in a way. It COULD be about you, but it doesn't have to be.

[Ðèstîñy]

When I had that same idea this morning, I was calling it Emotions in Motion. You know, like the song.

[Citizen Rules]

I wouldn't have that be a requirement. Why? Because it could take away the fun. And it's too much like "Getting to Know You" in a way. It COULD be about you, but it doesn't have to be. I agree.

I only claimed revenge myself because I know of a couple good songs for that. Come to think of it I've already used 1 of them. Revenge isn't my patron saint emotion:p

[Tugg]

Yeah, I guess it will be difficult enough to find 8 songs with one emotion/ theme without added difficulty of it being personal.

[Ðèstîñy]

Yeah, I guess it will be difficult enough to find 8 songs with one emotion/ theme without added difficulty of it being personal.

Well, it'll have to be personal, anyways. If the point is to choose one emotion, and choose songs that effect that emotion in us. There are songs I like, when I'm happy, and bouncing about, enjoying life. There are songs I listen to when I'm pissed off, and wanting to punch someone's face in . . . What? I have songs I use for motivating me in my workouts. I have relaxing songs, that I love to play when I'm either needing to zone out, clear my head, etc . . .

Honestly, this would be very easy for me. I could come up with loads of music for this.

[gbgoodies]

What if each poster chooses an emotion or a theme that somehow represents him/ her?


You might end up with duplicate emotions this way.

[Tugg]

Right now I'm thinking perseverance. But it was about me, it would be quitting.

Perseverance is fine.

I'm very sure that'll happen, but I feel pretty sure the songs will be different, and we can always have the duplicate songs replaced.

Make the thread.

[Ðèstîñy]

Yep, but I'd hope for the Emotions tourney first.

[mojofilter]

I thought you were going to run it? You should.
I would. I'm a beginner at running song tournaments, though. So, you guys will have to bear with me with my constant asking for help.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I'm gonna look through some songs. I'll figure out my category while doing that.

[mojofilter]

Yep, but I'd hope for the Emotions tourney first.
Sorry I was late to the discussion. Emotions meaning each member posts songs that follow their own themes, right? Isn't that the same as a Scattergory tourney?

[gbgoodies]

I would. I'm a beginner at running song tournaments, though. So, you guys will have to bear with me with my constant asking for help.


Something that you have to remember is that we are all scattered all over the world, so just because it feels like the round has been open long enough, it may not have been open yet at all for the people on the other side of the world from you, (because they might still be asleep), so you have to give everyone enough time to vote.

People join because they want to participate and vote, so it's a bummer when they don't get a chance to vote because the round closed too quickly.

Sorry I was late to the discussion. Emotions meaning each member posts songs that follow their own themes, right? Isn't that the same as a Scattergory tourney?

He said Scattergories is anything like food songs, etc . . . I hope the Emotions is not blended into that idea.

[mojofilter]

Would that be a ****load? I have that many, as well.

* Nope, load shows up. Just how many is ********, exactly!?! ;)


It's the synonym of "poop"


A poopload of songs :p

[Sexy Celebrity]

Scattergories is ANY individual theme at all, including emotions.

Emotions is ONLY songs about an emotion we choose.

That's funny. I suppose a "Sex"load is more, since the word load still shows up. :p


Yep, I'm just making this ***** up as I go.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Frankly, I hope we do Scattergories. Everyone just focused on an emotion -- love. It's getting too emotional here.

[Citizen Rules]

It's up to you Mojo:) But most of us like the emotion idea. Each person calls their emotion and picks 8 songs that fit that emotion. Easy Peasy:p

[mojofilter]

In order to please everybody...Scattergories will include any theme or category you want, including emotions, food, world peace, revolution, parodies...etc


Is that alright by all?

[Ðèstîñy]

How about having two go up? An Emotions thread, and a Scattergories thread?

[gbgoodies]

I think if Mojo wants to run a tournament, he should pick whatever theme he wants to pick. (Kind of like the HoFs. You run what you like.)

Mojo, did you have a specific idea in mind for a tournament, or were you just interested in running whatever tournament comes up next?

[Sexy Celebrity]

I wouldn't run two at a time.

Is that alright by all? Sounds good and you're the boss:p So I'll keep an eye out for your song tournament thread.

My scattergory is food as in bananas, I bet you can see where that's going:cool:

[Tugg]

I choose determination for emotions thread or perseverance for scattergories thread.

[Ðèstîñy]

For Scattergories, I choose songs named after US cities. For Emotions, it would be either rage/pissed off, or spastic/super happy.

I so wanna hear your rage/pissed off songs. Choose that regardless of what type of tournament it is.

[mojofilter]

Fine, I'll do a Scattergories thread. Emotions thread will be a separate tourney. However, since the MoFo is a free democratic community, if you want to make your category about emotions, go for it, BUT there will still be an Emotions Tourney later on.

I love my Cities idea, but if Swan doesn't want to run the Emotions thread, I will run it right after this category. I'll for sure do the rage.

Congrats Christine on your victory, thank you for choosing such a classy song.

Good job Chyp on reaching the finals.

[christine]

Hey my song won! Thanks guys :)
Congrats to Chyp for a great runner up too.
I've loved this song tournament. GBG is the godmother of song tourneys, she runs them so beautifully - just the right amount of time waiting for people, no rushing but no drawing it out either - perfect! Thanks GBG! Enjoyed it a lot :)

Thanks to SC for posting the up to date lists too.

[Chypmunk]

Congrats to Christine on winning with the marvellous Fever - very glad it won for you my duck!

Thanks once again to Gbg for running yet another seamless song tournament, I know how much goes into one of these and your work is always appreciated in this corner of Mofo.

Thoroughly enjoyed this tournament and very glad two great songs made it to the final - both were in the top echelon of nominations this time no doubts about that.

There seems to be a tendency for the most inoffensive songs to win because least people dislike them rather than because most people like them.

I voted for The Outfield "Your Love", Cyndi Lauper, The Seekers "I'll Never Find Another You", REO Speedwagon "Keep On Loving You" and Foreigner "I Want to Know What Love is" over "Fever", sorry (to rain on your parade). :indifferent:
You can't really complain about people picking non offensive songs when Keep On Loving You and I Want To Know What Love Is are two of the most beige songs in existence. :)

Congrats to Christine for winning with a great song. Congrats to Chyp for picking up the runners up place. Another great song. I really liked both of these songs and voted for both quite a few times.

Once again, the biggest thanks to gbg for putting up with all this and running another one of these things. :)

[Citizen Rules]

When we come to next years Top MoFos Countdown, so GBG a little love when you vote:) She does a lot of good for this site.
