okay, c-mom... yer on! Living In the USA Gangster of Love Your Saving Grace Seasons The Joker Don't Let nobody Turn You Around Fly Like An Eagle Space Cowboy Take the Money & Run Jet Airliner By the way, i've never heard of any of the songs by your band (I've barely heard of the band, in fact), so i'm going to give myself a 10-0 headstart! Feel free to do likewise and we'll cancel each other out.

"The Last Polka" was a made-for-cable movie featuring the Shmenges from Second City Television. Somebody get me a cheese doodle.

Vic Sage May 19 2006 04:48 PM

But what happens if Ben only folds 4? or goes on to fold 6? Are there repercussions? Is the matter of how many he folds relevant at all to an appreciation of his songs? Is the statement that Ben folds 5 intended to be descriptive or perscriptive? These are the things i think about. i have to lie down now... its been a very long week.

"Army" vs. "Living In the USA" -- SMB "The Last Polka" vs. "Gangster of Love" -- tie "One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces" vs. "Your Saving Grace" -- SMB "Song For the Dumped" vs. "Seasons" -- tie "Battle of Who Could Care Less" vs. "The Joker" -- BF5 "Philosophy" vs. "Don't Let nobody Turn You Around" -- BF5 "Steven's Last Night in Town" vs. "Fly Like An Eagle" -- BF5 "Julianne" vs. "Space Cowboy" -- SMB "Boxing" vs. "Take the Money & Run" -- BF5 "The Best Imitation of Myself" vs. "Jet Airliner" -- BF% BF5 6-4. Same result for most any band challenging the Steve Miller Band with this playlist -- their early stuff was awsome; they later stuff was godawful.

Nice jobo, Scarlet.

Time's up! We have a 45-45 tie! BLC rules state that it is time for a 3-song playoff.

Vic Sage May 23 2006 02:08 PM

the highest vote-getters for SMB were: 1) Jet Airliner 2) Space Cowboy 3) Living In the USA (tied with "Fly Like an Eagle", but i'll go for vintage over pop)

Johnny Dickshot May 23 2006 02:11 PM

I could be wrong but I believe policy is 3 not from the current list.

Vic Sage May 23 2006 02:12 PM

ohhhhhhh.... then, since it was c-mom's challenge, she has to post her new 3 first.

sharpie May 23 2006 02:15 PM

Dickshot is right that it is new songs and Vic is right that SK has to post first. Make it a new thread BLC playoff or something.

old original jb May 23 2006 02:16 PM

I'm shockingly unfamiliar with much of the SMB repertoire--although I'd probably recognize a most of them if I heard them--so I didn't vote. Hint to CMom: bring out the big guns... Uncle Walter!!!!

ScarletKnight41 May 23 2006 02:24 PM

I'll post in a little while - I have to run out, but I'll be back soon.
