The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game Twenty-Five – Open Category
(based on an original idea by sfar)







OK here we go with Game Number Twenty-Five - The game is very easy to play:

1. Send me a PM with any song - along with the You Tube link if possible.


2. 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.

3. 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 – here’s a link to previous games to see how it works :-

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 25 - Voting Ceremony Underway

Thanks to all my voters. I achieved my aim to make the top 15.

I knew this is a song that won't win or even make the top 5, just wanted to share it here as I doubt many people knew it before.

Especially thanks to dogwonder24 for 10pts. It was nice to read you liked the song.

And congrats to Marcus1979! Even though once again the winning song got 0pts from me.

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 25 - Congrats to Marcus1979

I am heavily leaning towards songs of 1960s but I want some feedback first as I don't want to pick a category that everyone hates :awww:
I have sensed an overwhelming groundswell of popular desire in this contest for a 60s game for sometime. I think it would be extremely popular. And more so now than at anytime in this contests history. I think the way the top 3 spots in the deceased game all went to 60s songs says a great deal about how popular songs from that era are right now with the current group of people who play this game.

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 25 - Congrats to Marcus1979

I approve of 1960s :worship:

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 25 - Congrats to Marcus1979

Congrats Marcus! That song warmed up to me throughout the tournament and happy it got the result it did. :) My prediction of Tiny Dancer did not do well as I thought it would but I'm fine, thanks SilverPersian.

Thanks as always to AdeyC and James!

60s? I have already got my song down. :D

Congrats Marcus :cheer: I'm happy with my 9th place but as I thought non-English songs don't have big chances in open games :sad:

Please choose 60's, I have 2 songs which were waiting for this category. Now I only need to choose one of them :scared:
