As as few of you guessed, Dirty White Boy was my nomination. Although I don't listen to Foreigner as much as I did in my teens, they're still a band that I love. It was the final song I decided upon for this tournament; it doesn't make me feel something like my other nominations, but I do identify with the lyrics-


My eliminated nominations-

Bob Seger-Ramblin Gamblin Man

Foreigner-Dirty White Boy

Styx-Too Much Time on My Hands

Guns N' Roses-Ain't it Fun

Head East-Never Been Any Reason

I've just noticed I've lost my last nomination. Again SC saw that Nobody Does It Better was mine, as did a couple of others, I think. I've had this dedicated to me on two occasions and, while it's egotistical, it also feels pretty damn good.

Of course, this is also my favourite Bond movie and Barbara Bach was, I think, my first movie crush, so this song has always meant something to me.

How many songs did we each get? I submitted 9 to JayDee I'm thinking one of them was cut as we only got 8?

Everyone was supposed to submit 8 songs. JayDee forwarded the right number of songs to me, so if you submitted 9 songs, then he must have cut one of them.

You can just stop right there if you're trying to blame it all on me.

Ahh, and that explains it. Yes it was my mistake of course. I was just going nuts thinking I hadn't heard my own song, then I went and counted and I had 9....told ya math wasn't my strong point

If anyone is interested my 9th song was

Get A Job-The Silhouettes

Anywhere care to guess why I choose that song?

As some of you guessed, this was my nomination. I'm generally not a fan of Weird Al Yankovic, but this song just fit me too well to pass it up. I buy and sell on eBay. I started out on eBay as a buyer over 15 years ago, and I've been selling on eBay for almost that long too. I can't look around the room without seeing stuff that I've bought on eBay. And it's all the type of collectibles that he sings about in the song.

ROUND 4

Sir Mix-A-Lot - Baby Got Back vs. The Rolling Stones - Jumpin Jack Flash

The Yardbirds - You're A Better Man Than I vs. The Beatles - Penny Lane (Alternate Link for U.S.)

Michael Jackson - Rock With You vs. Men Without Hats - Safety Dance

Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun vs. Garth Brooks - Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)

Sniff 'n the Tears - Driver's Seat vs. The Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want

After the Fire - Der Kommissar vs. Chuck Berry - Johnny B Goode

Bobby Bland - Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City vs. Madness - Our House

Johnny Cash - San Quentin vs. 4 Non Blondes - What's Up

Eminem - Lose Yourself vs. John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John - Summer Nights

I don't blame you for all of it SC. Others have done 'mischief' in this thread too. I do think that's why Derek said this:

And he hasn't posted since, my guess is somebody said something to him he didn't like and he left the site. I think those who live in glass houses shouldn't be hurling accusations of wrong doing at others.

Somebody said something to Derek? Well, I don't know what happened, but I am surprised - no - SHOCKED - that Derek actually stuck to his word and hasn't continued to participate here. He's always been an important part of these tournaments and it's not the same without him. I hope he's just taking a short break and will be back.

Well two more of my songs got eliminated. Then again I am shocked as hell Lone Justice made it past the first round so I am happy there.

The other one was Aerosmith's The Other Side. It is my favorite Aerosmith song, and is the song that I most connect with my college years. Especially my very early college years. Like my first summer semester. Used to play it all the time. It was my first time away from home and living on my own. Kind of a big step. That is a song that I still can listen to and feel all nostalgic about.

If these are the final songs then I still have a two left. I will reveal them as they are eliminated or if one wins.

Why shouldn't they? I thought that'd kind of become the point. I'm not saying it has to be an in depth, detailed account of why, but something. If you're tired of it, don't read it. Skip to the next post.

Wait? You're including yourself as mysterious?

No one's asking anyone to change who they are. Jesus, man. Get hold of yourself.
