https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMR2MbM6L3g

So first to 6 votes.

Reasons would be nice but not mandatory at this stage

And Please make it clear that it is a vote by using

VOTE FOR:

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Surprisingly tough already. Gonna go with...

Who's in the House - because it's an original and Irish, and not just a fun cover, and is probably the only thing Brendan O'Connor has done that doesn't automatically make me want to punch his smug stupid face.

And unsurprisingly, mainly because you're the first vote Who's in the house takes a 1-0 lead

Have you announced in the original thread that this has begun Spook? I'd go throw in the link myself, but far too complicated to do from my phone.

Necro

Who's in the house.

I hate anything to do with the muppets I just don't get their popularity

Kolido

Im a bit confused, are we voting for the funniest song or the best funny song?

pc7

Who’s in the house too, others are muppets!

I don't think we're supposed to think about it... Just go with your heart!

Kolido

Vote for the muppets, cant stand that Dara o brain or what ever his name is.

Aren't they pretty similar, anyway at the moment were eliminating 7 songs that don't deserve to go through to a 64 tune playoff be that because they aren't funny, aren't original, generally crap or whatever.

Spook_ie

3:1 to The Criminals Cardinals so far

quickbeam

I may have totally misjudged my nominations if these are what went through....

quickbeam

Did these songs actually chart? Like, I'm befuddled!

All songs have charted in either UK or Irish or Both charts, these are to eliminate 7 songs to get down to a nice round 64 before the real shenanigans start..

sKeith

who's in the house is way more cringe worthy than the muppets boh rap.

vote for: Who's In The House - Fr Brian and the Fun Lovin' Cardinals

@Necro

Love the Muppets (@Necro, YOU HAVE NO SOUL :mad: ) but Who's In The House wins my vote for this round. It's cringe but it's funny cringe rather than just cringe cringe.

Spook_ie

5:1 to fun loving Criminals Cardinals

quickbeam

If they were actually the Fun Loving Criminals I might actually vote for them.

While we're waiting see if the Cardinals get that last vote to see if they play the number 7 seed let's see who's going up against the number 1 seed

Don't Forget Your Shovel - Christy Moore seed 64 v Disco Duck - Rick Dees and His Cast of Idiots seed 65

Again first to six will go through, loser will be consigned to oblivion

Don't Forget Your Shovel because everyone knows the words and can't help but sing along at a session. Also, the other song will give me nightmares forever now - never even heard of it before.

Don't Forget Your Shovel.

Disco Duck Got as high as No 6 and in the UK charts for 9 weeks, no where in Ireland though

Don't Forget Your Shovel got as high as No5 in the Irish Charts and in the charts for 7 weeks co incidently did nothing in the UK charts

that duck song is the most cringeworthy song I've seen/listened to in a long time.

christy is decent and memorable song, a decent song. why are you people voting for it?

vote for: disco duck

I think our criteria for voting may be vastly different. Don't Forget Your Shovel is a funny song, it's also a good song. I want to vote for good songs that also happen to be fun or cringey, because I don't want to see absolute sh**e dominate this competition. :rolleyes:

Green&Red

Vote Don’t forget your shovel


I would have gone for who’s in the house if I was here earlier

Tell me how

Are we voting for the song which we preferred, was more artistic, or made us cringe the most?

Can see a lot of aggro with votes being cast for the wrong song. (This isn't necessarily a bad thing as I have been suffering from withdrawals since Omackeral last ran 'Best of')

Anyway, I vote for The Duck song was so cringe I bet it inspired acts of actual violence.

It's in the title. "Records that gave you a cringe".


That duck song is so cringe worthy its a contender for winning this competition.


on the other hand, Christy is mildly funny and not cringe worthy at all.

You can go for it now to finish the score

Who's in the House goes through to the 64 song vote 6:1 and the Muppets well lets just say they ain't in the competition no more

I asked that question earlier and I'd be inclined to go your way. Finding the funniest (or most cringe) song that charted rather than the least funniest funny song.

Spook_ie

Keep calm lads when we get to the 64 record run off we will be voting to find the funniest and the cringiest records in that 64, for now just vote on which you'd like to be in that 64

Tell me how

Nope only one of them would you think is most cringy or most funny, depends on if you want to vote through a cringe record to contend for the bottom place of the 64 or a funny to try for the top, believe me we have some cringe v cringe coming up it's just the way the seeding worked out and I need to get them down to 64

M3 - Since I left you
M6 - Eat It
M7 - Saw Doctors

Necro

Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie anyways over that other song I don't know

Ballad of Chasey Lane for certain as Daphne and Celeste make me want to burn my ears off

Surfin Bird cos I nominated it

Eat It because I just listened to the start of the first one and that's enough for me

Saw Doctors because death to Jedward

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Match 3: Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini - great fun to sing along to.

Match 4: The Ballad of Chasey Lain - both classics in their own right, but a hit song about a pornstar is worthier of a spot. Now show us them t*tties!

Match 5: A Hard Day's Night - I think a spoken word cover is something a bit different, so why not.

Match 6: Moonlight Shadow - I love this song, never thought of it as funny, but can see why someone might find it cringey, but I'm voting for the songs I like better, so this is the one I want to see in the competition proper.

Match 7: I Useta Lover - Was one of my favourite songs when it first came out and even better craic when it was re-released. Choon!

Zaph

Match 2 - Disco Duck. I don't care how crap it is, I fcuking hate Christy Moore.

Match 3 - Itsy Bitsy... That squeaky voice on the other song is so annoying.

Match 4 - No opinion

Match 5 - Surfin' Bird. Because everybody's heard about the bird.

Match 6 - Eat It. One of the better parodies.

Match 7 - No opinion

quickbeam

Itsy Bitsy
Moonlight Shadow - how is this cringey??
Useta Love Her

Don't know the others.

#2 Disco Duck. I've never heard it before but it's magnificently terrible!

#3 Itsy Bitsie.... Since I Left You is a good tune but it doesn't really scream "chuckle" to me (and it's definitely not cringe)

#4 Ballad of Chasey Lain. Awful song but less irritating than Daphne & Celeste.

#5 Surfin' Bird, fits the brief pretty well. Like the concept behind the Peter Sellers one but think it could have worked better with a "sillier" song.

#6 Eat It. Don't mind Weird Al in small doses, though he has better ones than this I think. Moonlight Shadow does nothing for me either way.

#7 I Useta Love Her Because it's not Jedward

pc7

X - it’s bitsy cause even if you don’t want too you sing along

X - daphne and Celeste, it made me smile hearing it again

X - moonlight shadow , cause of ‘4am in the morning’ makes my heckles rise every single time!

Updated to reflect ENs votes

Electric Nitwit

Match 4 Ooh Stick You
"ya mama too, and your daddy"
I was at Reading when they played the main stage, now that was funny!

Match 5 The Surfin Bird
Ah, it burrows into my brain, I hate it! But I think that's the point

Match 6 Eat It
Moonlight Shadow isn't funny or cringe, what am I missing?!

Match 7 I Useta Lover
Neither are funny but at least this one isn't outright shıt
