The Music Cup Round 10 - Songs with Aristotle's Elements in the Title

First topic message reminder :

Yeah, you read that title right.

We're on the final lap and Hero has an almost unassailable lead. Adam can catch him, but he needs to win the round and for Hero's choice to go pointless. So it could be a procession if he picks up some early votes.

Some good quality in this round, and I hated myself for picking this category because I pretty much drew a blank, and that's why this round is some 40 minutes later than it should have been.

Nonetheless, please select you favourite TWO from the poll.

And thank you to all who have participated, both in the competition and in voting or commenting. It's been a pleasure

TV Programmes?

DJ Brisk records?

both could be interesting and funny , seeing peoples tastes

Women. Categories like best arris / knockers, dirtiest etc

Airhead - DJ Brisk:

Spoiler:

That's not a bad song.
The Airhead one made me laugh out loud - was it supposed to?

That's a really good question ................any ideas ?

We've done films, music, sports...it would logically have to be books, tv, maybe history? Travel? Or a general one that covers all sorts of topics. Maybe we could re-visit sports and do a 'greatest individual sporting performance' contest, so you'd get the best of the best going head to head against people like Isner and Mahut, for example.

We could have a round just on Redheads

Best Moderator.

Food.

Call it v2 vs Food. Big Mac for the win in the burger round.

I think music could easily continue with a new 10 rounds.
Could do 10 just based on location for example.

Northern England (Birmingham & above)
Southern England (Below Birmingham)
Wales
Scotland
Ireland (including Northern)
Rest of Europe (excluding the UK)
USA
Canada
Australia
Non English Speaking Countries

There are some exceptionally lovely redheads out there

Of course, it's pretty hard to tell what a celeb's natural hair colour actually is, at least without getting pretty close to them anyway

Food sounds good. Could have a whisky round in there

I find going through their bins helps ...........................oh and their knicker draw

Books would be good, but there are loads more categories you could do for music, songs featuring colours, songs that have countries/towns in the title, best sixties album, best seventies album, best number one single ever and so on.

"Big Macs for the fat,
Lo-cal wraps for the call centre battery hens,
Japanese snacks for the choice-spoilt citizens,
Caviar kickbacks for the citadel denizens."

Or just pick a hair out of your teeth and have a look

Could do one on people you'd like to stab in the face:
part 1 - footballers
part 2 - actors
part 3 - politicians
part 4 - people famous for being famous
part 5 - general eg traffic wardens, showjumpers etc
could even have a non-people round like species of animals eg dolphins, pandas etc & a cartoon character round

Artists beginning with the letter "C".....

How about the Cultural Cup, where the 10 rounds are a mix of food, drink, TV, Books and Chris Farley films

The Cultural Cup sounds like a winner to me Adam, that way we get to see who's cultured and who's not...

I'm not. I have a small box of trivia questions entitled "Culture Vultures" where all the questions are about art, theatre etc. I can't get any right

Ooh, we could do theatre, with rounds on Shakespeare, West End Musicals and non-English plays!

Too much discrepancy on what is considered cultural and what isn't though?

There are a fair few of us from the North and a fair few Southern fairies who think babycham and rosé wine is cultured.

I haven't even included the Scottish posters amongst us.

If there was a clothes round and those poncey shorts that I see young men wearing won it, I think that would be the end of my affiliation with v2.

As the Music Cup has proven, if you want to win, play to the voters, not to your own personal taste.

Best not to

I jest. The Scottish make Scotch and thus gain most of the points lost on kilt-wearing, Glasgow and the Deep Fried Mars Bar

So much for nominating Titus Andronicus then...

A more childish person then me would say "You'd like that, wouldn't you?". However, I will not say it.

You know what country I'm from anyway, as if people would wear shorts up here!!

Not particularly. Would just offer to leave the thread if you wanted some space.

Not particularly as opposed to not at all suggests you are a little bit jealous. I'm taking that.

Rose isn't cultured or posh. Very much a staple in France. 5 litres for 17 euros from the Caveau we go to in France and it isn't this ribena coloured stuff you get from supermarkets here. Roll on July.

Did not realise today was the deadline, ahhhh well, I couldnt catch the top two anyway.

Books and TV should be considered next, two things id have much more chance with!

For what its worth id have picked Bonfire by Childish Gambino so id have got no votes anyway!

Bridge over troubled water and waterfall!

Looks like my holiday took me out the running

Oh well at least I can vote with 100% honesty in this one

No Bastille fans, I see

I quite like them, there are just better songs on this list.

ChequeredJersey wrote:No Bastille fans, I see

I think members of the French revolution are too.

I occasional picked my own.. thats all...

I like Bastille as well but like Tino said there are just better songs on the list.

ChequeredJersey wrote:No Bastille fans, I see

I had a listen, Chequered, having not of them before. Not my thing. Sounded a bit poppy, and a bit like that other band that I didn't like but whose name I forgot so I just googled; One Rebublic.

Yeah, not a fan. Sorry.

No worries

This is the most even round so far isn't it ?
