Song Battles - Cake, Third Artist, Final Round see post 28

Same rules as the other games, pick one song from each pairing, and come back to vote on the next round. Let's go with a 90's band, to complement the 80's and 60's bands that have gone before (and the inevitable Floyd or Zeppelin Battle coming up): Cake!

a. I Will Survive (Fashion Nugget)
b. Never There (Prolonging the Magic)

a. Stickshifts and Safetybelts (Fashion Nugget)
b. Sheep Go to Heaven (Prolonging the Magic)

b. Love You Madly (Comfort Eagle)
b. Italian Leather Sofa (Fashion Nugget)

a. Short Skirt/ Long Jacket (Comfort Eagle)
b. The Distance (Fashion Nugget)

You can put my vote in for all rounds as "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" since it's the only Cake song I know. :)

Crap, and nothing about Rock and Roll Lifestyle? I love that song.

Didn't think of it. I love that song, too.

This is not going to be as popular a battle as the Rolling Stones or Queen, is it? Didn't think of that when picking. :(


a. I Will Survive (Fashion Nugget)

b. Sheep Go to Heaven (Prolonging the Magic)

b. Italian Leather Sofa (Fashion Nugget)

b. The Distance (Fashion Nugget)

I have to go home and listen to all of these before I vote.

Hmmm, like others have said, this band is a bit more obscure. I vote for The Distance. I like that one.

Cake is obscure? Wow, I'm a fan of an obscure band. I feel so cool.

Well, they're not so obscure I hadn't heard of them - but I don't know their songs. Of course, the fact that I'm British might have something to do with it.

Why no love for Stickshifts and Safetybelts? That song makes me wish I owned a Malibu. Stupid Bucket seats. :mad:

I'm out of this one, I never heard of Cake. But I am ready for those Zeppelin, Floyd and Sinatra ones. :wink:

a. I Will Survive (Fashion Nugget)
Good cover, not the best Cake song, but much better than Never There.

a. Stickshifts and Safetybelts (Fashion Nugget)
Great song. Deserves to win out of these.

b. Italian Leather Sofa (Fashion Nugget)
I haven't heard the other one, but I don't care. I'm sure this beats it.

b. The Distance (Fashion Nugget)
Close but "The Distance" edges it out.

Notably missing: Anything from Motorcade of Generosity (especially Jolene, and Rock'n'Roll Lifestyle)

Ok, too many people haven't heard of these songs for my taste

YouTube Links

I Will Survive
Italian Leather Sofa
Never There
Stickshifts and Safetybelts
Sheep Go to Heaven
love you madly
Short Skirt Long Jacket
The Distance


and for What Exit?

Frank Sinatra

b. Never There (Prolonging the Magic)
I give more weight to an original compilation.

a. Stickshifts and Safetybelts (Fashion Nugget)
Because a road song beats any thing, any day. **pops collar on leather jacket**


b. Love You Madly (Comfort Eagle)
Better the song about loving someone madly than tits bouncing on his sofa. But that's just me. :wink:

a. Short Skirt/ Long Jacket (Comfort Eagle)
The Distance loses for having lyrics containing the word "bowel".

While I own the CD, it never got transferred to mp3. I wasn't a big fan of Jolene, but I should have included Rock'n'Roll Lifestyle (and would have left out either S&S or Love You Madly, had I thought of it.)

Dangit, you put my two favorite songs by them in the same bracket.

a. I Will Survive

b Sheep Go to Heaven

a. Love You Madly.

um.. err..

b. The Distance.

..by a hair. That was painful

I listened on YouTube so that I would be able to choose faily.

b. Never There (Prolonging the Magic)

b. Sheep Go to Heaven (Prolonging the Magic)

b. Love You Madly (Comfort Eagle)
I'm still humming this.

b. The Distance (Fashion Nugget)

Thanks for the turn on to music I would have never heard.

fairly.

Bump, praying for one more voter... (as currently, three out of the four brackets are tied: your vote matters!)

Well, no tiebreaker from the masses. I had the Squidette make the final decisions.

a. I Will Survive
b. Stickshifts and Safetybelts *

a. Love You Madly
b. The Distance




* Apparently, I'm a bad person for voting for Sheep Go to Heaven. This song is the Squidette's and my song. Who knew?

B. Stickshifts and Safetybelts

B. The Distance.

a. I Will Survive
[del:1kqxgxk9]b. Stickshifts and Safetybelts *[/del:1kqxgxk9]

[del:1kqxgxk9]a. Love You Madly[/del:1kqxgxk9]
b. The Distance

b. Stickshifts and Safetybelts

a. Love You Madly


How can you go wrong with songs about love and the road?

B. Stickshifts and Safetybelts

B. The Distance.

The quintessential question for Cake fans, I think.

a. I Will Survive
b. The Distance

I really thought I was already here for this round, but

Stickshifts and Safetybelts

Love You Madly (Okay, I don't really like either of these two much, so I picked randomly).

So we sail into the final round with Heavyweight Stickshifts and Safetybelts taking on The Distance. Vroom!

a. Stickshifts and Safety Belts
b. The Distance

b. The Distance

The Distance

Stickshifts and Safetybelts

I am going to lose this one, but

a. Stickshifts and Safety Belts

b. The Distance

The only song I know by them - I was abstaining in the first two rounds. But I like it a lot!

Joe

Prince has been suggested as the fourth artist.

Who will run the next Song Battle?

Featherlou was the first to suggest Prince, I think, but I don't remember anyone calling "dibs".

Recap:

Round 1 winner - Bohemian Rhapsody
Round 2 winner - Sympathy For The Devil
Round 3 winner - TBA

b. The Distance
