Submission history

New beginnings

A-Six - Original Long VersionLinkin Park - Instrumental - #8 - 4 points - Not what I would call a typical instrumental, but there are no words here - just vibe. This song sounds like what the early 2000s felt like, and is a great representation of Linkin Park's influence on our culture.
FancyReba McEntire - This isn't me - #6 - 9 points - I don't hate any particular genre of music, but I'll say that country is generally not my cup of tea. Maybe Florida Georgia Line featuring Nelly, but not "real" country. But while this song actually feels like real country (in tone, content, and tenor), I absolutely love it.

Music Through the Decades

Wasted On YouMorgan Wallen - The Lost Decade - #7 - 1 points
I Feel LoveDonna Summer - Time Traveler's Choice - #4 - 8 points - This song came out in 1977, but it would have fit in just as well in the late '90s or early 2000s. It almost reminds me of Madonna's Ray of Light - not because Madonna's jam felt like a throwback, but because songs like this were so far ahead of their time.

Vanilla TwilightOwl City - This is Fine - #4 - 3 points
Rap GodEminem - John Henry - #4 - 4 points - Some of the fastest rapping out there. Not the fastest, but it’s up there.
Given UpLinkin Park - John Henry - #5 - 3 points - Selected for the lyrics and the 17-second long scream.
Bohemian Rhapsody - Remastered 2011Queen - Embiggened Language Model - #7 - 1 points - I still have no idea what this song is about, but I'll be damned if I don't sing along to every word whenever it comes on.
KimEminem - Embiggened Language Model - #8 - 0 points - I had a hard time picking a song that met this prompt. Scanning through my library, I came upon this song and remembered how it was interpreted in so many ways when it came out. At the very least, it's certainly an unusual choice from an artist who was riding high at the time on MTV's TRL with an audience primarily of 12-year old white boys.
Streets of PhiladelphiaBruce Springsteen - Man vs Machine - #1 - 8 points - The vocal track for the video was recorded live with a hidden microphone, to a pre-recorded instrumental track, as Bruce Springsteen walked the Streets of Philadelphia.

A Little Something RefreshingNo Doubt - Sweet Leaf - #7 - 7 points - Here's a REALLY deep cut for you all to enjoy. Very literal interpretation of the round description, with the self-indulgence being food.

Beginnings

Don't SpeakNo Doubt - If At First You Don't Succeed - #3 - 10 points - Tragic Kingdom was No Doubt's third album - following their self titled debut and their independently released Beacon Street Collection. Following middling sales of their debut, the independent release did so well that their label gave them another shot, and we know the rest.

Hey DJ!

(I Can't Get No) SatisfactionBritney Spears - Cover Me Badly - #2 - 17 points - I always hated this cover. Love me some Britney, but I don’t think she understood the Stones version at all when she sang their words.
Fuck YouCeeLo Green - $@#?! - #10 - 3 points
Sadie Hawkins DanceRelient K - The Big Ask - #6 - 6 points - Okay, okay, we all know that Sadies is the reverse of prom in so many ways. But this song really spoke to me for this prompt nonetheless.
KimnotyzeDJ Tomekk, Lil' Kim, Trooper Da Don - Tongue Twists - #11 - 3 points - When I did an exchange program to Germany in high school, this song was massive at the clubs. Still don't understand how Lil Kim rapping in German over a Notorious BIG track didn't land in the US.
I Need You TonightBackstreet Boys - Guilty Pleasures - #9 - 3 points

Change of Pace

(You Drive Me) Crazy - The Stop Remix!Britney Spears - Stop, Wait a Minute - #5 - 9 points - You all probably thought I wouldn’t really pick this. But I did. The “stop” and record scratch made the entire remix work. Plus Melissa Joan Hart in the music video.
How Bad Do U Want MeLady Gaga - Better-than-Okay Boomer - #5 - 10 points - Poker Face came out in 2008!
Want You BadThe Offspring - Not Horny Enough - #7 - 7 points - Want You Horny
The Impression That I GetThe Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Horn-y - #3 - 14 points
Love Who Loves You BackTokio Hotel - Old Enough! はじめてのおつかい - #10 - 4 points - Maybe not right on the nose for the category, but Tokio Hotel was a bit of a teen idol / boy band before they took a little time off and re-emerged with this album.
Want You BackMandy Moore - Good Riddance but also I Need You Back - #8 - 3 points

Lady Chatterwhistle's Gossip-Drama League

i like the way you kiss meArtemas - Drama, Actually... and Tease (Epilogue and Cliffhanger) - #6 - 4 points - Our protagonist is done with the drama and wants to live in the moment. No feels, no regrets.
SorryBeyoncé - Bad Habit (the Nun's Tale) - #7 - 2 points - She toyed with the idea of forgiveness, but decided to respect herself and do what’s best for her. No, she’s not sorry.
Handle MeRobyn - Bondage and Duty (the Queen's Tale) - #9 - 3 points
Better TogetherJack Johnson - Bedroom Experiment (The Scientist's Tale) - #6 - 2 points - Love is the answer, at least for most of the questions in my heart. Like, why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it's so hard? It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving. I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together.
The Girl and the RobotRöyksopp - Grasping and Heaving (Story Goals) - #3 - 8 points - Our main character is unsatisfied with their romantic relationship. They wait around to be met half way, but always seem to be a low priority. They want more. Maybe they can find fulfillment in their job or with their friends. Maybe they need to leave their significant other. Maybe they want to plug into a neural network and become AI. No matter what, they need change.
Your Song - From "Moulin Rouge" SoundtrackEwan McGregor, Alessandro Safina - Throbbing Attraction (Character) - #4 - 4 points - He doesn't have much, but he has poetry and sincerity and love. This young gentleman wants the world for the cost of a song, and he'll get it. Can the young lady of his dreams resist? Only if her heart is made of stone.
Confessions Part IIUSHER - Play Submission (Setting) - #6 - 0 points - Usher really put his whole situation out there to the world with this album.

Barbara	7	16	2.29	Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Out of the ordinary - I tried to pick this song, but you beat me to it! I'll never forget how beautiful this song was when Vanessa James and Morgan Cipres skated to it in the 2018 Olympics.

Happy Lucky	1	2	2	Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Storytime! - I loved this song so much in high school! I can't tell you how much better it sounds with two 12" subwoofers in the trunk of a hatchback. More bass than you would think when listening on regular speakers. And the story felt so meaningful at the time as well.
Zach	1	0	0	Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Storytime! - I would have voted for the Weeknd version...

Zach	9	8	0.89	Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Out of the ordinary - I always thought this was an Elvis song or some kind of cover, so yeah, excellent pick Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Out of the ordinary - My problem with this Beyonce album is it feels like she's just doing it as a gimmick. Why choose Jolene to cover? That's too basic, if you really wanted to pay homage you shouldn't do the one song everybody already knows. Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Excellently Explicit - I guess this song passed me by in 2004... Eamon also makes me think of Lord of the Rings character names... Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Excellently Explicit - is... this a NIN diss track? I just ... what?!? Um, I guess I'm on Trent Reznor's side and I'm not even a big fan of him. Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Kids songs - This is a repeat for our league but I guess I just like it better than the classic children's movie songs Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Short and Sweet (or not) - Sometimes it's not about a songs chords or the quality of their voice. Sometimes a song just fuckin slaps. Good pick among green days songs.
lainey3eb	6	8	1.33	Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Kids songs - This is a good pick…we liked Better Place a lot too. Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Kids songs - When I changed one of my songs for this round, I got the alert that someone else also picked a song from this album. Normally I would have switched my pick to avoid a showdown, but honestly the songs are good. I watched the movie with low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised. Maybe the kids are alright. Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Short and Sweet (or not) - I like this energy Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Short and Sweet (or not) - I see someone else understood the assignment!
Happy Lucky	10	7	0.70	Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Storytime! - I didn't find the story here either. Just some guy looking at photographs and remembering things here and there. Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Storytime! - Yeah, photographs are great, but where's the story? Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Out of the ordinary - Noooooooooooooooo....... Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Out of the ordinary - Wuuut, I thought this was an Elvis song! Wow, I think this is a great submission for this theme! Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Excellently Explicit - This is really terrible .... Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Excellently Explicit - Sorry, they're not my kind of music at all. 0 points given by me for your 46 fucks. Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Kids songs - It's so darn catchy. But I'm a washed out mainstreamer, so my point goes to Golden....Ha! Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Kids songs - I always thought this was a standalone song, not connected to a movie. Whatever, it's still a great song to me. Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Short and Sweet (or not) - I'm a sucker for mainstream crap. Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Short and Sweet (or not) - Ahhh, Green Day is a pretty versatile band, don't you think?
Brandon Nohara	6	6	1	Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Out of the ordinary - For some reason I thought this was an Elvis song Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Kids songs - Wondering if I would appreciate these songs more if I watch the movie Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Short and Sweet (or not) - I was thinking of playing this. Lots of catchy short songs from their earlier albums
Yorick	9	5	0.56	Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Storytime! - After all the memes and gags I finally took the time to properly listen to this one. Lyrics drip of remembrence and nostalgia which is kinda nice. Hard to get past how overplayed this song is tho :( Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Storytime! - Not quite a story. Fine lyrics about the nature of photographs, though. There might be a story buried underneath but it's up to everyones personal interpretation. Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Out of the ordinary - Saw this one coming a mile away. True to the prompt... so I guess it's worth a point. Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Excellently Explicit - I guess the guy really needed to get it off his chest. Terrible song and flattest beat I've heard in a while though... Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Excellently Explicit - Excellent choice. "Ain't it a shame that you can't say fuck" I love the meta! Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Kids songs - Ah yes... This generations "Let it go"? Or is it the other one? Nah, definitely Golden! Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Kids songs - I can definitely see kids dancing and bouncing around on this one! Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Short and Sweet (or not) - Not quite my thing. Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Short and Sweet (or not) - Not their best song, but Green Day is still alright in my book!
Barbara	3	2	0.67	Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Out of the ordinary - Super recognizable voice, but definitely a different style! Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Out of the ordinary - I love Queen! But I don't think this is super different from other Queen songs. Still very theatrical, what is very Queen. Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Kids songs - I'm struggling rating this song. My kids love this song, they would give 4 points. But I'm so done with this song, EVERY car ride it's KPop demon hunters, I don't want to listen to this in my music league, haha... So minus 3 for me. that's 1 point!
rhynus	10	0	0	Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Storytime! - Great production, a good hook with a unique vocal timbre. But the song as a whole or the story doesn't strike a chord with me. Probably doesn't help that It's been played zillions of times on the radio. Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Storytime! - Great production that develops the songs soundscape. But besides that, extremely conventional and cliché in all aspects. Not for me. Also, didn't find a real story Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Out of the ordinary - I really appreciate the effort here in blending genres while still being a Beyoncé song. Yes, it's still a pop song with straightforward progression and harmonics, it mainly borrows the instruments and sound, and not so much the structure. But still, it's creative, and I always enjoy seeing people try something new. What I really missed is her vocals. She has an amazing voice, but hardly used it in this song... Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Out of the ordinary - Fun to listen to for a bit, and they're definitely able to recreate this rockabilly feel. But they did a pretty much 1:1 rendition of the original song with very little innovation in arrangement, performance, harmonic, whatever. So yeah, it's ok Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Excellently Explicit - I didn't see the explicit label really add anything to the song. There were a lot of fucks, a couple of bitches, but very little emotional range. The music didn't do anything for me. Nothing wrong with it, but everything was just ok. Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Excellently Explicit - too tight, too formulaic, too conventional, couldn't give a fuck ;) Vocals are enjoyable, but not enough to save the song for me. Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Kids songs - I did have the option to stop the feeling. But I persisted and listened to the whole track! Nothing wrong with it, but not my jam Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Kids songs - Fun song, but cult of the new Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Short and Sweet (or not) - Sounds like a meme song Fun with Friends Near and Far! / Short and Sweet (or not) - lot of punk (ish) songs in this round
