Reply To: Song-Fu 2
None of these songs match up to Kenesaw. =/ Jason’s song was the only of the four that I found myself singing along with the chorus towards the end (an important indicator, IMO, of how these kinds of songs get stuck in your head), so while I appreciate R@tD’s story, that deep noted “BUDDHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” is just *so* off that I can’t possibly pick it as a superior song. Neither of the Masters songs do much for me; P&S straight forward “here are the facts of an ordinary life” is a more daring idea than Riff’s “here are the facts of an ordinary geek’s life, wink wink nod nod”, but of course that gave the Riffers a chance to have lines like “his DVDs are organized by year”. Heh. Also, I found myself kinda singing P&S’s version to myself, and no joke, I actually accidentally started to say ” … in the poultry Hall of Fame”. Never good when your song seems derivative.
A weak round overall, which was to be expected by the topic. Going to listen to the Masters again in a little while, but I’m leaning towards keeping my votes exactly as they’ve been this entire tourney: P&S and Jason.
