Purple Reign	18	31	0	31	1.72	Hey DJ! / Cover Me Badly - Ha. They ub40’ed it. Which is bad.
Taylor Kayatta	25	34	-6	28	1.12	Movie Music Magic / Favorite song used in a romantic moment in a movie - I saved up so hard to get this soundtrack. Some of Whitney's best work! Movie Music Magic / Favorite background score to a dramatic moment - I prefer the Christopher Nolan films. Change of Pace / Horn-y - I like this song (and I'll admit I loved the show Ballers), but Weezy's foray into rock music doesn't feel authentic when compared to some of the other choices available in this round. Hey DJ! / $@#?! - I love this song, but I kind of feel like the intent of the profanity was to shock in this case (even if it was to convey a deep emotion). Hey DJ! / Cover Me Badly - UB40 was my wedding song, so I can't vote for this even though it's... not great.
arhumphrey-us	20	25	-1	24	1.20	Beginnings / Summer Starts - Being from LB, this song holds a special place in my heart.
Michael Sugar	21	24	-2	22	1.05	Into the Void / Spiral Architect - It's too bad that we never got to hear Wayne and Garth's cover.
lainey3eb	24	23	-3	20	0.83	2024, we hardly knew you / Who was that again? - You beat me to it. I wanted to pick this song too! 2024, we hardly knew you / The holidays are here. - Yep, a favorite! 2024, we hardly knew you / Smaller is Better - I don’t need another reminder that Jason poops Change of Pace / Horn-y - Another fan of the show Ballers?? I submitted this song once for a previous ML and it did not go well for me. Not letting it happen to you!! Change of Pace / Not Horny Enough - Horny, let’s get it on? Let’s get horny on? Or no substitutions necessary 😆 Hey DJ! / The Big Ask - Totally forgot this song, but here’s a point for delighting me. Definitely just use the first part of the song tho haha Beginnings / Beginnings - Beat me to this song! Into the Void / Fairies Wear Boots - This definitely was WTF Into the Void / Neon Knights - Point for creative interpretation and introducing me to this supergroup Into the Void / Wishing Well - I’ll probably always vote for Coldplay songs Music Through the Decades / The 1990s: The Basement Tapes - Good pick; I liked this one back in the day Music Through the Decades / Time Traveler's Choice - This is giving me Tony Toni Tone vibes and I’m all for that
faulkheather	20	20	-1	19	0.95
Zach	28	21	-3	18	0.64	2024, we hardly knew you / Best of 2024 - It's a crime for me to give Eminem a point and not this. But I'm going to fess up to having a stupid opinion: I hate Kendrick's too-high, thin voice. For me, his voice makes this song be like if Nirvana had recorded "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on ukeleles and bongos. 2024, we hardly knew you / Who was that again? - I had to pass over several worthy 80s songs but I think this one stands out as a true OHW. I'm going to hum the mmm-mmm-mmm as a lullaby. 2024, we hardly knew you / Where was that again? - I try not to give points to the picks that everybody sort of knows will be submitted, but in this case I have fond memories of people getting super happy just hearing their hometown getting a 2-second shoutout. 2024, we hardly knew you / Smaller is Better - Slander! We all know that Jason would never poop. 2024, we hardly knew you / Welcome 2025 - ehh, for this round? maybe if we're healthcare CEOs Movie Music Magic / Favorite song from a non-animated movie musical - Can't give this a point because AFAIK it's not from a movie where characters sing, as themselves, to express their thoughts about the drama that is happening to them Change of Pace / Good Riddance but also I Need You Back - I appreciate Kelly a lot more now that I don't hate American Idol. But I ran out of points after voting for the riskier songs on the playlist. Change of Pace / Old Enough! はじめてのおつかい - On one hand, I HATE the playground melody, but on the other hand the instrumentals sound more like NIN than the song based on a NIN song. A definite "oh ok you're gonna make actual music now?" song Change of Pace / Not Horny Enough - Just for the song alone. I don't really get how the title is supposed to work though. Hey DJ! / Guilty Pleasures - A good fit for the round but I like I Love It better as a party anthem Hey DJ! / Tongue Twists - I waffled on this, but I think what sold me on this is that Megan made a token attempt at learning some of the other language, whereas a few of the other artists explicitly say "I don't speak it" Hey DJ! / The Big Ask - Clearly this song is about Bikram yoga Hey DJ! / Cover Me Badly - I think this is better than the original I Got You Babe, and UB40's elvis cover. But that's mostly because (unpopular opinion) I dislike those, and I love the Pretenders Beginnings / Summer Starts - Smooth. the random 'muthaf----' drop is ridiculous. Also, don't stand on the roof like that! Don't you know you're gonna have to re-shingle that? Beginnings / Original - Not familiar with any of the songs you mentioned, but doja cat was a good listen Beginnings / If At First You Don't Succeed - Eh, not my genre but I respect that you made a niche personal pick Into the Void / N.I.B. - Whoever picked this, stop making me feel like an old person. Into the Void / Fairies Wear Boots - Mooo-ve bitch get out my hay! Into the Void / Spiral Architect - No stairway. Denied! Into the Void / Neon Knights - I thought this was gonna be a parody song about how people who blast their car's subs are stupid assholes, but I guess not. -- a guy who uses a big subwoofer at reasonable volume in the privacy of his own home. Into the Void / Sweet Leaf - I bet Jay Z wouldn't complain about a Disney cruise trip costing too much Music Through the Decades / The Lost Decade - the main character in the book High Fidelity loves Marvin Gaye. I think that's why I first gave him a listen, to see what he was talking about.
Jason	25	23	-5	18	0.72	2024, we hardly knew you / Smaller is Better - 😂 Movie Music Magic / Favorite movie title song/theme song - I have the Time Machine in Lego form! Change of Pace / Old Enough! はじめてのおつかい - I’m not the biggest Queen B fan, but this song good Hey DJ! / Cover Me Badly - Yikes Beginnings / If At First You Don't Succeed - Not my cup of tea Into the Void / Neon Knights - I love this song, but not for this prompt Music Through the Decades / The 1990s: The Basement Tapes - I’m pretty sure this song was very popular. And probably their biggest hit
Meredith	20	19	-2	17	0.85	Music Through the Decades / The 2000s: Guilty Pleasure or Secret Genius? - This is objectively a wonderful song
amfish123	16	18	-1	17	1.06	Into the Void / Spiral Architect - I didn’t want to vote for this song cause I wanted to vote for something unexpected, but it’s so good I had to. Into the Void / Neon Knights - Sorry for the downvote but what a music video!

Brandon Nohara	17	11	-3	8	0.47	Change of Pace / Old Enough! はじめてのおつかい - I would have voted for Halo Change of Pace / Horn-y - Inspired pick. Props for bringing hip hop into this league Change of Pace / Not Horny Enough - Classic, but he's already horny here Change of Pace / Stop, Wait a Minute - I was wracking my brain to find songs that fit the theme. Can't believe I forgot about this one. Nice pick Hey DJ! / Guilty Pleasures - I ran into these guys in an elevator after one of their shows in Vegas. They were surprisingly shy in person Hey DJ! / $@#?! - Props for being brave and playing hip hop Beginnings / Debut - Hard to believe they got started that long ago. Diana Ross presents! Beginnings / Beginnings - I never knew the artist for this song, so thanks for this Into the Void / Neon Knights - What's with the Navi backup dancer in the video clip?? Music Through the Decades / The 1990s: The Basement Tapes - I would have given an upvote to one of the smaller hits on this album, like Photograph or Villains Music Through the Decades / The 2000s: Guilty Pleasure or Secret Genius? - Forgot about this one Music Through the Decades / The 2020s: Soundtrack to the End (or Beginning) - One of my favorite songs this decade so far, but feels like a better fit for next round's theme
Yorick	11	9	-3	6	0.55	Movie Music Magic / Favorite song sung by a character in a non animated movie - Good one! Change of Pace / Good Riddance but also I Need You Back - https://youtu.be/SbBoTFA987s?si=xSck9ZnG9YCjX8sw Change of Pace / Horn-y - My least favorite in the list. Change of Pace / Stop, Wait a Minute - Excellent choice. With a lot of pauses! Hey DJ! / Tongue Twists - What a terrible trainwreck of a song XD But it meets the requirement! Hey DJ! / The Big Ask - I just never really liked this song... Hey DJ! / $@#?! - Interesting pick and well done on the description. Into the Void / Fairies Wear Boots - That's some weird ass genius shit right there! What a way to start the list. And when I thought the joke had run it's course she starts riffing on old songs! Get out my hay, bitch! Into the Void / Neon Knights - Yeah, ok. With the music video context I got the motivation. Still big fat minus for those lyrics tho!
