Send a song you like listening to while partying and you love dancing to. Any genre is fine, but, please, don't send some pessimistic and boring songs.
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 .
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 18th MAY 2016
- I'll publish all songs received on THURSDAY 19TH MAY 2016

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 125 – Party Mix
A song can only ever picked once in the game (the same song sung by a different artist can be chosen) - below is a link to a listing of all of the songs chosen so far in Song Title order and also in Artist Order

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
Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 125 – Party Mix - Nominated!!!!!
Song sent. Had some more TF friendly options... actually it's hilarious that I've sent a post punk song (with 70s-80s punk disco included) only once in all these games I have played. I know so much from this genre but somehow feel it's not "my" genre Especially here I think I missed some chances for a high place.
But nvm, plan 19th place in the final launched in 3, 2, 1....
Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 125 – Party Mix - Nominated!!!!!
Unusually I think I already know what I am going to enter for this one. It is a song I could listen to over and over. And yeah, it is perfect for parties and the discotheque.
I will however hold off on entering it for the time being to see what other ideas might sneak into my head over the ensuing few days ahead.
