The Bluemoon Song Cup 2023

[BlueHammer85]

Are we expecting a contentious couple of days, no holds barred, or just an honest titanic struggle?

Well the Mad Eyed Mob with their balaclavas and bats have turned up.

I’ve only heard the name Biffy Clyro through Bob Mortimer on Athletico Mince. I honestly thought it was a made-up person.

 

[BimboBob]

Listened to Biffy, God its dull. Can't beat the Beatles song, it's rather lovely.

 

[Coatigan]

shame, as i've a soft spot for Biffy and that's a nice track. No chance here though.

It is not anywhere near one of Biffy's best songs. Not that their best song would stand a chance against any Beatles song. Not that any by anyone would stand a chance against a Beatles song.

Ah. If you want a full scale riot on your hands you could always post the Rick/Blossoms version of whatever song it is :-)

It is a made up name

I’ve only heard the name Biffy Clyro through Bob Mortimer on Athletico Mince. I honestly thought it was a made-up person.

I've gone with "Something", though it isn't one of my favo(u)rite Beatles tunes (despite Harrison being my favor(u)rite Beatle). Biffy gets some stick here but had this been up against "Bubbles" I might've had to give it a think. BC is capable of some pretty good tunes.

Love how this thread gives us the opportunity to totally dismiss songs chosen by fellow posters without knowing or even caring who we might be insulting. Never mind all that high minded analysis on the album review thread, it's as brief and cutting as possible.

The Beatles are shit by the way but I still voted for them here ;-)

something is in a different league

I've never really liked Harrison's lead vocal on Something, I find it a bit soporific. For me the rest of the song, the bridge in particular, redeems it though.
