Takes me back to my time in the amniotic sac.

Yeah, this bad boy right here is mine.

Definitely Stars Of The Lid.

Serious deep voice that doesn’t sing so much as preach to the listener

I mean, definitely this I guess? This is half of the appeal of the album for me, but I guess I can see how it can be not quite your thing.

That one could reasonably be mine as well, but I'm guessing mine is one of the least memorable impressions....Although I don't think my song is unmemorable, but whatever...

I'm going to be upset if I lose to amniotic fluid.

I'd be more surprised if you lost amniotic fluid

"Black metal riding a horse" is solefald probably, mine is the sledgehammer comment

I'm not sure if that's a positive thing or negative...

I personally love that song, so hopefully it's not the "outside your wheelhouse" comment... unless that turns out to be a positive comment in disguise...

Puppies: Type O Negative - Hail And Farewell To Britain

Man, I listened to this after submitting and ALMOST wanted to swap... What a great song!

As for impressions, I claim dibs for sledgehammer... it's maybe a bit hamfisted although I agree with its message.

I thought about sending one of really weird ones but I don't know... if someone's going to like those songs at all, maybe it's just not going to be after a few listens in the context of a roulette. But Raudedauden could still be the black metal riding a horse comment - I wouldn't have described it that way myself but now I can kind of see it.

Crow · « **Reply #782 on:** July 16, 2019, 01:31:01 AM »

listen to my song and tell me that it isn't galloping as heck tho
i didn't think of it that way at first and thought there was probably something obviously "yeehaw" about your song 'cause i hadn't heard it, but, well, there isn't to my ears at least

We haven't even quite finished the hangman yet.

I also just noticed that all four top seeds decided to put themselves last for picking a theme. Pretty interesting. I guess the benefit is hopefully being able to target anyone they need to beat to qualify for the knockouts. On the flipside, so many themes will have been used by that point.

Evermind · « **Reply #785 on:** July 17, 2019, 07:07:22 AM »

I didn't actually care much about the order. I sent a PM to each participant in my group asking them which place they would like to be in the order. My intention was to gather their answers and make a totally opposite order.

Unfortunately Ruba and Puppies said it didn't matter to them, and LordCost didn't answer at first, so I sent the current order. LordCost then PMed me that he doesn't want to go first but it was too late to change it, otherwise I would've totally put him first.

Hey TAC, did you send the instrumental or the vocal version?

TAC · « **Reply #789 on:** July 17, 2019, 09:47:32 AM »

The vocal version. I didn’t know there was an instrumental version. I bought this single back in the day. I fear mine is the “out of the wheelhouse” comment as it is totally out of my wheelhouse.

But I’ve always loved this. The rap is easy on the ears and the musical track is fantastic.

It is a fun tune! I remember back in high school, a friend of mine would call out "Jump to the slam, boogie woogie jam slam! Bust a dialect I'm the man in command!" at least twice a day.

Here's a link to the instrumental from Us3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ebb7I-X3hXA

And the original version (Canteloupe Island by Herbie Hancock): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B1oIXGX0Io

I remember hearing the instrumental version on restaurant muzak systems all the damn time in the mid to late 90's. The original song is a jazz jam session staple.

Really surprised that my theme was your favorite overall, haha

I hope I brought down the average a lot

. I blame the theme

Evermind · « **Reply #800 on:** July 17, 2019, 12:03:21 PM »

Well, I will say that I felt like our theme was a bit too restrictive. If not for Leonard Cohen, I would've had to send either David Bowie or some 80s or 90s metal bands like Savatage. Not that I didn't enjoy it, but I feel like this might've affected the average score.

But still, I'm behind my Leonard Cohen picks 100%. I love that album.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #801 on:** July 17, 2019, 12:13:02 PM »

If you stand 100% behind your song, then a restrictive theme shouldn't matter. The only time I get pissed at restrictive themes is if I'm then relegated to sending something that (for me) is sub-standard. Not gonna give any examples, cuz TIM would be a dink and use that against me. I'm sure he's already got a plan in mind.

Just wait until he sees my "female-led, glam rock, power ballad" theme.

Yeah, if Leonard Cohen ended up being banned, then I would've complained. I thought the theme was cool and it certainly set some boundaries for the word "restrictive".

Ariich's song is pretty amazing, once I used Google translate to find it.
