The Bluemoon Song Cup 2023

[KnaresboroughBlue]

32-32

Who's going to be the one to grab the final winner and put their names in the history book ?

I see The Boxer with 34 (including you) and The Stones with 32.

Who's going to be the one to grab the final winner and put their names in the history book ?

I voted Stones, but I like them both and they're both worthy winners so I've also added a vote for S&G now.

BimboBoooooooooob! I swear you'll never see anything like this ever again.

Simon & Garfunkel do it. They beat the Rolling Stones in the Cup Final.


The Boxer 34 - 32 Gimme Shelter



Congratulations to @FogBlueInSanFran who had the final winning song but ultimately to @bennyboy who wins the whole competition and a signed Gareth Southgate autobiography.

 

[KnaresboroughBlue]

The right song won in the end I think.

I feel like Edin Dzeko right now.

Now they've won this prestigious award, I wonder if I am now prepared to forgive S&G for not taking out court injunctions to stop Mumford and Sons from inflicting their version on the world..

On balance no I don't think I am.

Thanks for running the @BlueHammer85 even though I didn't make an entry I enjoyed it nonetheless.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Thanks @BlueHammer85 for a fantastic thread. I’m looking forward to the next one. Next week right? :)

I am seriously flabbergasted that The Boxer won this. I added it because I needed a song that had been top ten in the charts in the US and UK, and as I was hurriedly doing my list last minute, Paul Simon’s “Graceland” was playing on my Spotify, and I randomly wikied The Boxer on the off-chance it was popular in the UK, which to my surprise it was. A great song and a worthy champion I think!

@BlueHammer85 in case you have trouble thinking of criteria for the five tracks in next years competition I've taken the liberty of coming up with some that I think would fit our demographic nicely….

1. Song by band or artist who can be proven to have used either the 101 or 105 bus routes in their formative years (might be too specific so you could chuck in the 42 and the 192 for a bit of variety)

2. A song focused on identify politics

3. Disney soundtrack song

4. Song featuring pipes (wind instrument or tobacco type)

5. Song that has more than a quarter of a billion plays on tiktok and at least 100,000 different videos of people dancing to it on their patio.

No need to thank me mate, I'm always happy to help.

(and once again well done on a sterling job)
