The Bluemoon Song Cup 2024 Champion Is Hilts!

Screw the rules ;)

I had

A) Sorrow - Bowie
B) One Day Like This - Elbow
C) Back in Black - AC/DC
D) God Only Knows - Beach Boys
E) Edge of Seventeen - Stevie Nicks

I couldn't believe my Bowie song beat Metal Guru and then lost to ABBA (I did laugh when the decisive voter said they liked Bowie and liked the song but voted against it because it was a cover).

I reckon I had the best 2005+ song as well but that had a shocker of a draw in round 2 :(
One of things i never took into account when making my picks is how people consume their music and also specifing which version of the song i meant.
I mostly use youtube so the vids that accompany songs can have an added appeal.
That Elbow tune is a belter and the vid raises it a level for me.

For my cover i had Jolene by the White Stripes. In my head i had the 'blackpool lights' live version but what got posted up was a spotify friendly album filler version (this isnt a criticism of BH, it was my mistake for not specifying).

My other picks were :-
Hold on to yourself - Nick Cave
Marinade - Dope Lemon
Fortunate Son - CCR
Do it Again - Steely Dan
 
I also had one eye on the video when choosing

For some reason I thought this vid (which wasn't shown) might garner lots of favour ...


Ahh, so it's you who submitted this before me haha. I had to resubmit one and took a wild gamble with Michael Jackson which went down terribly hahaha. I thought the video of a late 80s Jackson stage performance might help to get some votes but it wasn't posted and so wasn't to be, and people hated it haha.

Try selecting a Morrissey song if you want to feel the hate......
