Ha ha, it's only because I threw it into a walrus, I'm well aware of how terrible it actually is

Crazy because it's the better song and I don't like Mmmm Mmmm

Sweet Home Alabama because it's class.

It has the remarkable ability to destroy two classic songs at the same time. Dammit, Werewolves of London would have been a great shout for this competition.

Necro

Crash Test Dummies cos they aren't crazy and mumble excellently.

Teenage Dirtbag cos I also nominated it and it's no Simple Man which is the superior Lynryd Skynryd track

Ficheall

#11 Crazy (because of Don Ross' cover)
#12 Teenage Dirtbag (because of Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain's cover)

sKeith

crazy - think its the better of the two

skynard - classic tune.

tusk

Crazy. because it's a beauty of a tune.

Skynard because the guitar is iconic

I believe we have a duty to vote against it in every round it appears in.

Abomination of a track

Whoo-hoo, making a list, checking it twice?
What do we get?

No opinion on first one.

Winds of Change though - great song. And I nominated it, so I'd better vote for it.

It's a surprise

All Or Nothing.

What a bloody tune kudos to whoever nominated that. Can't believe I forgot it.


And I guess..

Would You...

Cos I probably would.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Match 13
Ever Fallen In Love because it's class, and Liquid Dreams was a far better O-Zone song.

Match 14
Would You? for that funky hook, and also Rock You Like a Hurricane is easily the best known Scorpions song.

My musical soulmate :eek:

Match 13

Ever Fallen in Love. Absolute classic punk track, hard to figure out why they didn't have a load more hits after this one.

Match 14

No opinion

Agreed, and a much better one at that. I would have voted for it if it had been nominated instead.

Tammy!

Buzzcocks! Love that song!!

I'll go for Wind of Change. It was on a rock anthems cd we had growing up that you could play from start to finish without skipping. We loved that cd ❤️

Wind of Change. Every 8th song on Atlantic 252 for a period in 1992 iirc.

#13 Ever Fallen In Love... Because that other one is just...no. Did Westlife cover it? I Would have said it was a Westlife song, but either way it's not good.

#14 Would You. Another absolure CHOON I'm sorry I didn't think of myself! Winds Of Change is just a bit meh.

They actually did on The Love Album :pac:


I feel I may have said too much

The Buzzcocks-Ever Fallen In Love

Because the other song sounds like boyband rubbish.

Touch and Go-Would You Go To Bed With Me.

Because of the sax/trumpet or whatever it is in the chorus.
