Song Draft?

[Panfilo]

I don't know if it has been done before but it seems interesting.

10 picks

10 songs that for you stand the test of time. Songs that you have memorized backwards and forwards. Songs that you never get tired of listening to.

Any genre

Any time period

Who is up for it?

Count me in, but I do think you should narrow the requirements a bit. I figure that the albums and songs picked in previous drafts stand the test of time for those who picked them.

Maybe a draft of songs by one or two-hit bands or something. That way, we don't end up with the same songs we picked for the album drafts.

I like the idea of a really broad "song" draft -- something that can go from rock and roll to opera to country to what you hear in elevators to just about anything.

I think the biggest issue, and the most fun, would be when someone picks a "song" and mentions a version or by an artist when there are other versions that are tons better. I would assume that if a version is picked, the song is gone forever.

I'm in if you guys do it.

Count me in as well.

Count me out - I would first pick Happy Birthday sung by my kids, then Amazing Grace sung at my Grandfather's funeral, then something else immediately mockable, and that would be fun for you but not me. :)

[royalstilton]

I want to post my first song choice.

Don't worry, no one else will pick this one.

sorry, don't actually know the name...

I'm sure both of these would be picked so shut the ******** up.

There's only one proviso that I would append: I'm not sure about "standing the test of time". History may not reckon some songs so highly as some now regard them, especially music that is currently in vogue, but that doesn't mean we don't really like them now. I'm sure it would be inappropriate to give specific examples, except for the song the 4 servers sing at the restaurant where we have our birthday dinners. We all love those.

Don't we?

Sounds like fun, I'll try it. I'm in.

Does it have to be a song that we can post for everybody to hear, or can we just pick anything we want?

'Standing the test of time' is in the eye (or ear) of the beholder.

BTW, my six year old daughter used to sing the song that you just posted, back when she was four or five, she knew she could get laughs, so she'd sing it for anybody. It was a riot!

[Ismitje]

I change my mind. I'm in with no expectations.

This is the most welcome Fixing Of My Post I've ever encountered on BigSoccer!

Boy, I hope I'm not DQ'd but it turns out that that song is Dragostea Din Tei, by the Moldavian band O-zone. It's reeeeeeeeally good!!!!
