BLC: Lynyrd Skynyrd vs. Prince and the Revolution

Rockin' Doc May 03 2006 10:26 PM

Willets said he needed a BLC fix, so I figure we might as well call him out and let him take part. "I Know a Little" "What's Your Name" "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" "Saturday Night Special" "Free Bird" "Call Me The Breeze" "Gimme Three Steps" "That Smell" "You Got That Right" "Sweet Home Alabama"

Not that Prince and the Revs have much of a chance. I expect the voters will give Skynyrd a blowout.

Nascar style: "I Know a Little" vs. "Little Red Corvette" --Prince fires out of the pole position and takes the early lead… (Prince) "What's Your Name" vs. "Darling Nikki" …but boogity-boogity-boogity, boys, the Skynyrds are racin’ too! (Skynyrd) "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" vs. "1999" --Prince with a slight lead in turn one… (Prince) "Saturday Night Special" vs. "Let's Go Crazy" …and they’re side-by-side in as they head to the backstretch! (tie) "Free Bird" vs. "Let's Pretend We're Married" --Skynyrd’s engine nearly blowed up, but Prince is loose and scrapes the wall! (Skynyrd) "Call Me The Breeze" vs. "Delirious" --Two wide going into turn 3! (tie) "Gimme Three Steps" vs. "Kiss" --Skynyrd noses ahead on the inside! (Skynyrd) "That Smell" vs. "When Doves Cry" --What is that smell? The burning rubber of a Prince dance-ballad, taking the lead in turn 4! (Prince) "You Got That Right" vs. "I Would Die 4 U" --It’s gonna be a race to the checkers! Skynyrd stomps on the gas, and tickles those piano keys, motoring to the finish… (Skynyrd) "Sweet Home Alabama" vs. "Erotic City" …And Prince wrecks! Skynyrd is home… in Victory Lane! Skynyrd 6 … Prince 4

"Sign O' the Times" would be a good addition, as would "7."

Edgy DC May 04 2006 08:09 PM

Prince () and the New Power Generation would have to be a seperate entry.

"I Know a Little" vs. "Little Red Corvette" Two different types of floor fillers at two different types of dance establishments. Edge to Prince and the Revolution, despite cool little guitar fills fills from Skynyrd. "What's Your Name" vs. "Darling Nikki" Lynyrd Skynyrd "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" vs. "1999" Prince and the Revolution, as doomsday references trump a dobro reference. "Saturday Night Special" vs. "Let's Go Crazy" Prince and the Revolution. Funky sermons rule. "Free Bird" vs. "Let's Pretend We're Married" I crashed my car up and crashed it up good on my prom night. I wasn't drunk or nuttin, but crash it I did. I didn't drive for several weeks after. When I finally did, it was to church --- figuring that was a safe enough way to get back on the horse --- but I misread the schedule and mass was over. "What the heck," I thought, I'll stay and pray. And so I prayed what I thought was a sincere prayer in thanks for my body being bruised but not broken, shocked but not shattered. When I got back to the car, the same song that was playing when I got out, "Free Bird" was still going. I realized that "Free Bird was a really long song and I was a really lousy pray-er. Lynyrd Skynyrd wins anyhow. I mean, how many times has Prince taken the stage and asked his audience "What song do you all wanna hear?" and gotten the response "LET'S PRETEND WE'RE MARRIED!!"? "Call Me The Breeze" vs. "Delirious" Prince and the Revolution "Gimme Three Steps" vs. "Kiss" Prince and the Revolution "That Smell" vs. "When Doves Cry" Prince and the Revolution "You Got That Right" vs. "I Would Die 4 U" Prince and the Revolution "Sweet Home Alabama" vs. "Erotic City" Lynyrd Skynyrd Hard to put aside my bias against the 20-foot confederate flag and recall that Skynyrd had a legit legacy that goes much beyond the flagwaving. Prince and the Revolution wins 7-3, as lacy suits and champagne beats cutoff tee-shirts and whiskey.

"Erotic City" has been pounded by "Sweet Home Alabama." But where would you rather live?

Willets Point May 05 2006 02:32 PM

I was thinking that when I matched those two songs up: Erotic City, Alabama. Actually I tried to be clever with all my matchups.

Edgy DC May 05 2006 03:06 PM

I woke up yesterday morning singing a non-existent Prince song. So I wrote it down and now I have fake Prince song in my modest catalog, thanks to this challenge.

Prince drives his little red corvette over Skynyrd's free bird 62.5-47.5.

Rockin' Doc May 08 2006 03:58 PM

Ouch. I obviously underestimated my opponent. Well, Lynyrd Skynyrd will have lots of room for advancement in the future.
