ROUND 18 - THE FINALS - IV

Post by Flex »

The Minstrel Boy to the war is gone
In the ranks of death you will find him
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Pex Lives!

Yalla Yalla gets my vote this round. It's just bores me a bit and I don't like the way Joe says kee-bab.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I, on the other hand, love the way he says kee-bab.

It took a lot of songs to get eliminated, but now I will subscribe.

I am continuing to support the explusion of Bhindee Bhagee, thus proving that I'm woke, actually.

And that you hate liberal gentrification.

Yeah. I’m voting Hoy, but not happily, because he’s wrong in every way about it. We’re just up to the cream.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

It’s a game of inches for me now. I’m truly sorry. You’re right and Hoy’s wrong here.

Take comfort that most, I'm confident, aren't voting for the same reason as Hoy. Which is to say, it's more a vote for GDM, TC, and YY.

What a weird final four. You have one legit great song (GDM), two good but flawed songs (TC, YY), and one god awful song. So many better songs got the boot before this, it suggests a far worse solo Strummer oeuvre than is actually the case.
