Hey,

Congrats on the Song Game win.

As winner you can either pick a category for the next game or choose to leave it an open game.

You have slightly longer than usual to pick what it with Game 150 being extended a week and the Xmas Game - can you let me know what you'd like?

Adey
Thanks !

The theme is called "Tripping Balls" . So , you have to nominate a trippy song . Good luck and have fun .


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 Sub-Forum to see how it works :-​

- You can send your song until WEDNESDAY 4TH JANUARY 2017
- I'll publish all songs received on THURSDAY 5TH JANUARY 2017
- 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

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 155 – Tripping Balls - Nominate!!!!!!

Can someone please enlighten me. What is a "trippy song"?
I guess some psychedelic stuff... Or I got it wrong.
At least I know "Comfortably Numb" would fit the theme perfectly.
 
#23 ·
Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 155 – Tripping Balls - Nominate!!!!!!

I know. That's why I have mentioned Comfortably Numb. Another question, can we get a detailed description of "trippy" song, even I am close to know what is it.
 
#25 ·
Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 155 – Tripping Balls - Nominate!!!!!!

Oh, so... I think I will sit out. Still I am undecided.
 
#27 ·
Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 155 – Tripping Balls - Nominate!!!!!!

Hmm....not complaining, but will be a challenge for me to understand what I'm supposed to send here. The only trips I've had are when I've done short travels.

Comfortably Numb was my nomination, it's a great song but I can't see why it's more trippy than my other nominations.

Maybe someone with good memory and good understanding of the theme can give more examples of songs already used that would fit?

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 155 – Tripping Balls - Nominate!!!!!!

Oh my loodies! Interesting theme. :D
Trippy makes you feel slightly disoriented, relaxed and in a state of intoxication, or trance. Could be a 'high' sort of feeling.

Psychedelic is clearly a good fit for the theme, but there are other genres that do will in, some wave, electronic and dance, even some kinds of folk and world music will fit.

The very first song I think of regarding 'trippy':

https://vimeo.com/107213875

Of course no secret the song was thought to be linked to LSD...
Loved the Yellow Submarine animated film too, well ahead of its time...

i have no idea what song would fit the theme and what wouldn't lol
I sent this song ages back (BSG107 must have been)
