Yes, that'll teach me to reply with a hang-over. I think my point still stands, even if the supporting evidence is erroneous. I think I'd still get some marks in an exam ;)

Is it just me or did the Visitations entry sound familiar? Maybe it's just cuz I listened to the fight a couple days ago.

I can't decide whether to vote for it or not because of this uncertainty.

I am Australian - though my Head of State, the dear Queen of Australia is British - but that doesn't help me get into the express lane at Heathrow airport - I have to line up with all the foreigners. And I distinctly remember seeing her freeloading, pisshead son - the 2nd in line to the Australian throne - barracking for England against the Wallabies during the last Rugby World Cup

My parents were British until 1949 - when everybody suddenly became Australian (err.. everyone in Australia that is - it wasn't a worldwide phenomena). Which is weird because their grandparents were acually Irish.

Bjizzle: The big breath at the very opening is cute, but god-damn this is sedate. The chorus get really mumbly. More takes! Don't turn into Marcus Kellis.

Jordan Siivizzle: Harmonies are forced and off a bit. That'd be OK if they weren't such an obvious hook attempt. This would blend right into the background of every other middle of the road indie pop band on somafm. Dunno if that's good or bad.

KURTizzle: So why do I hate Gert but love this tune? That vocal delivery is suh-weet. I think a lot of my Gert distaste, on the last song anyways, was the high-school dick-joke lyrics. This one has some attitude and sizzle to it - I don't feel like I'm watching Caddyshack. Not any sort of all-time favorite tune for me, but a good song. Great singing in the 1:40 bit as well.

Luke Henizzle: Yessir, you are definately tapping right into that Modest Mouse vein with a vengeance. Great song.

Frontabizzle: It is a song about the tiny codependant dog! Possibly it is a tiny codependant rap song. Lyrcis are cute - "IRC" sounds like "Aisle C."

Papercut Bragizzle: Well there's a beatles song in there somewhere. Waiting for something good to say about your tune aaaaaaaand....

Rosscizzle: This one didn't grab me, sorry.

Rosemary Lee Izzle: Man you just can't win. Wow, big POP on Poodle. Funny song.

sonofsupercizzle: You might find it funny to hear the first draft of this song: http://www.sonofsupercar.org/music/song ... ed-dog.mp3 Watch your volume, the right side guitar cheeses out pretty badly. Put your own lyrics on it and turn it in next week!

Steve Gambizzle: More middle of the road acoustical wooha. Your song might have rated higher if this fight didn't have so many other tunes of the same ilk. Cute "Alice's Restaurant" extension job on the verses - but not really.

StueyMizzle: Still got a buncha junk down in your bass area, mister. cut cut cut. My Irish friends enjoyed this tune. The vocals don't seem to flow with the music - not sure if that's intentional.

Visitizzles: Loved the gained-out solo guitar bit. It's like twee with ass.

MCF is our very own internet superstar. Going up against him is like trying to wrench a chewy stick from the jaws of a small but ferocious terrier. You're not going to win but the trying is a hell of a lot of fun.

Although, MCF, only 89 this time round? Where's the 614 who turned up to vote for 'Romantic Cheapskate' - is your influence waning? Mc Frontalot in 'going down the dumper' shocker? :)

In this particular fight, I wouldn't count on that many people having listened to the songs. Sometimes second is the best you can place. Congrats, Jordan.

There is nothing controversial about this. You may not approve of the fact that Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are part of Great Britain, but that's the way it is. Until those countries become fully independent, then the maps are correct.
Actually, j$ I think there is somthing a little contraversial about this.

Wales IS NOT and never has been a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain

Wales never signed the act of union.. Scotland did and so did Ireland and thus they are represented on the flag the 'Union Jack' However the Welsh national flag is not represented on the the GB flag...Why?

Because Wales is not part of GB and is infact an occupied country. Raped throughout the centuries etc.etc.

Just to point out that the GB maps calling it all GB may be contraversial to some

That romantic cheapskate turnout was from a week when Penny Arcade linked to song fight. This week was just plain old me. The horde at my command is actually not that massive... though I have enough votes in my pocket that Jordan should think of himself in the alternate win position.

I did try to lose honorably that one time as Rapper Name Redacted but that didn't work either, so I just try to aim folks at Song Fight. Surely some of them will stick around.

I think that's great, turning the world on to Songfight. I checked out your website too, MC. Very cool stuff. I think if you ever sell your original prescription glasses, that would rock. Congrats on winning.

Um, yeah...
...too bad "the world" doesn't continue to visit songfight.org, and vote in fights that don't include Frontalot. Congrats though, it was such a tough win. That explains why "Pica" is listed as the winner. Initial avoidance of the obligatory groan, until one actually looks at the fight.
Look at the Red Door fight...59 votes...gee, somehow, "the world" didn't even check out the other fight, after placing that vote for "Pica".

My winners for a song appropriately titled "Fresh Dog" are Visitations, Paper Cut Brigade, and Stuey M. Actually, I voted for Stuey. I'll be listening to your tune everytime I'm digging for a smile.
