Vote for the next festival (July/August 2010)

[Greeny]

The Beatles are winning by +1 vote now

It's weird how tactical voting veers wildly in the last few days before the cut-off!

[Geir]

Oh no ... Not no 1 anymore. Summer songs int the lead. .... well I guess It's Summertime

EDIT: Now Beatles are no 1 .... as they should be   ... I dig it

[OsCKilO]

Now summer songs...


 

[Greeny]

Summer... vying for top-spot with the Beatles. This is like Whacky Races!!!!!

Btw, this is how NOT to do a summer-themed song, lol. My GREAT hero Marc Bolan making a total lyrical arse of himself. 'Summer's not a bummer / it's a stunner / and it's now'  

We can do better than that can't we?!

Still a damn catchy tune though. And no-one else could get away with wearing leopard print like that, lol

Just realised the bassline at the start of that is exactly the same as 'Neat Neat Neat' by the Damned...

You guys really want a Beatles Fest? I'll change my vote if I can be convinced of why we should have one!

And where is the rule description for what a summer song really is? I don't want to find out after the fact that I have to use a f*cking kazoo or something.

Well seeing as I wanted comedy/ parody etc.  and it's no longer in the running.  I still want a comedy theme and I'm ***** if I'm going to do "Maxwells Silver Hammer" - so my votes switched  to summer songs. 

Summer in the UK is a joke isn't it?

Usually, yes. This year's has been one long sun-fest so far though. Well it has down South.

1976 was a scorcher too, lol. Everything inbetween hasn't been very memorable!

I already did an English summer kind of song... 'Our English Coasts': "It's supposed to be our summer / but the sunshine hasn't deigned to do it's thing".

Like Christmas songs... stick fucking sleigh bells on, and it's a Christmas song... lol
