THE ORIGINS OF THE GAME

Some time ago one of the nicest guys on the forum Sergio (sfar) tested out an idea he had for a Song Game, which involved people nominating a song – then at the end of it the songs were listed and people voted on their top three songs.

A few months later, as a Eurovision Song Contest nut, I had the thought of bringing the Eurovision element into it along with the voting system used there. We jointly once did some TT Olympic and TT Football specials and always made a great team so I checked with Sergio that he was OK for me to expand on his original idea, which he was, along with adding an interactive element of an interview with all participants about the songs and the game in general where everyone could put forward ideas and suggestions about the game, it's all really thanks to Sergio that this game started :worship: .

I once did a TT Eurovision special and gave the winner a heart-attack when I informed him that the Eurovision tradition is that the winner hosts the following year - instead the winner picks the next category.

Following that on 14th November 2013, the first ever TF Pick The Best Song Game was started.






HOW TO JOIN IN AND PLAY THE GAME


1. Send me a PM with any song that relates to the category above - along with the You Tube link if possible.

2. Make clear which is the song title and which is the artist.

3. When the deadline is over, I'll post all the songs in the thread (without the name of the user who sent it) for everyone to vote.

4.The song that gets the most points wins the game. In the event of a tie the song with the most 12 points will win, if that number is the same then it's the most 10 and so on.



For those who haven’t played before, anyone is welcome to play – here’s a link to all previous games which are housed at the TF Pick The Best Song Game Forum to see how it works :-​

- You can send your song until WEDNESDAY 11th MAY 2016
- I'll publish all songs received on THURSDAY 12TH MAY 2016
- You can vote your 10 favourite songs (which will be given 12, 10, 8-1 points respectively – the good old Eurovision format) from the published list

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 124 – On The Road



RANKINGS POINTS

The following rankings points are given at the end of each game :





Although the game didn't immediately start at one every week, it was fairly early in the run of games that it became a weekly game, so to make things simple I've counted every game as one week.

Rankings are compiled from the last 52 games - the best 16 scores during the last 52 games count to the players total ranking.

With huge thanks and acknowledgement to Markus for doing a lot of the inputting of and clearing the then backlog :worship:

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 124 – On The Road - Nominate!!!!!!!

OK...I've never actually been on a roadtrip. That is, not since I was very young and my parents drove the car. Which didn't even have radio in it. I'll have to use my imagination.

surely you've been on long trips in that huge country you call your home? maybe in other means of transport?

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 124 – On The Road - Nominate!!!!!!!

The theme strongly reminds me of a song sung by a singer I submitted before. But his song is more about the road coming home rather than being on the road.



Too bad Japanese music companies are pretty anal about copyrights and seldom put the whole songs on Youtube.

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 124 – On The Road - Nominate!!!!!!!

I know exactly the kind of stuff I'd like to listen to a long road in a car... there are millions of tracks of that kind. I chose one of the first that came to my mind. Sent! :drive:

Hope you enjoy it!

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 124 – On The Road - Nominate!!!!!!!

This song always brings a grin on my face: :toothy:

It's such a douche-bag of a song that I can't help but love it. It's also the only thing I can find by this act. :lol:

 
#25 ·
Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 124 – On The Road - Nominate!!!!!!!

You can (and I do) listen to any kind of music in the car whilst road-tripping. So this is basically an open game IMO.
 
#27 ·
Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 124 – On The Road - Nominate!!!!!!!

I have already previously entered what I regard as the ultimate driving song, and indeed the ultimate rock song too. Yeah, I regard this as one of the half dozen or so greatest songs ever recorded actually.

A little bit of a travesty that it didn't make the final but I won't get into that. :oh:

Anyway, it is always a good time to listen to this again so here is "Roadrunner". :dance:

 
#29 ·
Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 124 – On The Road - Nominate!!!!!!!

It should be a rock song? :scratch:
I don't think anyone said it should necessarily be a rock song. As far as I understand the theme, it can be from any genre as long as it is something you enjoy as travelling music. Certainly nothing from my previous post says it should be a rock song either. :shrug:

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 124 – On The Road - Nominate!!!!!!!

I am jamming to such a basic pop song right now, which we dubbed my bestie's road trip theme song for her move to Chicago this summer. I would never send it, but its funny we just had this conversation yesterday, and now this theme was picked. :oh:

Not my favourite from Dami incidentally. That song "Alive" was released as the winner's song after she won the X Factor. It was funny Sony Australia made a very cheap, shabby music video for it and the fans all got outraged, so they ended up remaking the music video to what it is now. :lol:

I prefer this one:



:)

She's actually just released a cover album of some classic Carpenters songs, and I feel they are a very nice touch.
