The Songfactors' Choice Top Ten #40


Farin

Recommended Posts

MORNING (OZ TIME) REVIEW. :)

1. It's Thanksgiving week and I bet that causes people to 1) be busier than usual in getting work done 2) travel....

Thanks Ron. That was rather thoughtless of me. I forgot that Thanksgiving is such an important Holiday in America - and I didn't know that Friday was also a Public Holiday. I think the concept of Thanksgiving, the Indians (Native Americans) helping the starving Settlers is a wonderful thing to celebrate. HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all of our American Friends.

I'll PT Farin and probably we'll extend this Top Ten to a fortnight and have the voting next week.

..................................................

2. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen You Bugger Chris !!!

I thought I might have a #1 with Something/ The Beatles. :laughing:

.................................................

3. Thanks Darryl, Could you please change my nomination to the Billy Swan's version of "I Can Help"

Done, Judo Old Mate. :thumbsup:

.................................................

4. Thanks Lars my friend. You have a great memory !!!

:)

Maybe I misread what CeeCee told me, but I took it to mean that Friday was a Public Holiday in the U.S. and many people would be making a "long weekend" of it and travelling, as RonJon said. Maybe it's a P/H just in some sectors ?

Right now, weighing up Posts FOR and PTs AGAINST which I've received, I believe the fact that we've only recived nominations from 24 people is good enough reason to extend this Top Ten.

I won't make it final yet, as I believe it is only common courtesy that I discuss it with Farin first. He or I will make a Post about it later.

:stars:

This holiday has been traditionally a long weekend type holiday for a long time. Most private sector businesses are closed, however it has become the official start of the holiday shopping season. As a result, most all retail businesses, and service type businesses such as restuarants and banks are open. It's a toss up.

One thing is sure. It is usually a very busy weekend for a lot of people between family, traveling and/or possible shopping expiditions. I believe that some who only access SF while at work in their offices and such may not be around, however, we all have known that it IS Thanksgiving week.

Now with that clarification, you all make the call! :) I'm fine with whatever!

Thanks Sweet CeeCee. :)

It's difficult enough to find anyone here on a normal weekend !

Your Postive comments, and those of RonJon have convinced me that we should extend this Top Ten. As I said, I'll just run it by Farin as a matter of courtesy, because he does most of the work here.

Hey all. I couldn't access the site all day yesterday, dunno if others had the same problem, but it might explain why it was so quiet! :D

Anyway, I doubt I'll be around to vote, but here's my noms!

Tom Sawyer - Rush (now it's legal!)

Pictures of Matchstick Men - Camper Van Beethoven

It's all about the lyrics

UNDER THE MILKY WAY

The Church

Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty

Sound of their breath fades with the light

I think about the loveless fascination

Under the Milky Way tonight

Lower the curtain down on Memphis

Lower the curtain down all right

I got no time for private consultation

Under the Milky Way tonight

Wish I knew what you were looking for

Might have known what you would find

Wish I knew what you were looking for

Might have known what you would find

And it's something quite peculiar

Something shimmering and white

Leads you here despite your destination

Under the Milky Way tonight

Wish I knew what you were looking for

Might have known what you would find

Wish I knew what you were looking for

Might have known what you would find

Under the Milky way tonight..

Under the Milky Way tonight...

I agree, it's all about the lyrics and the haunting singing

"waltz no 2"

first the mic then a half cigarette

singing Cathy's clown

that's the man she's married to now

that's the girl that he takes around town

she appears composed, so she is, I suppose

who can really tell

she shows no emotion at all

stares into space like a dead china doll

I'm never gonna know you now

but I'm gonna love you anyhow

now she's done and they're calling someone

such a familiar name

I'm so glad that my memories remote

'cause I'm doing just fine hour to hour, note to note

here it is the revenge to the tune

you're no good

you're no good, you're no good, you're no good

can't you tell that it's well understood

I'm never gonna know you now

but I'm gonna love you anyhow

I'm here today and expected to stayon and on and on

I'm tired, I'm tired

looking out on the substitute scene

still going strong

XO, mom, it's ok, it's alright, nothing's wrong

tell Mr. Man with impossible plansto just leave me alone

in the place where I make no mistakes

in the place where I have what it takes

I'm never gonna know you now

but I'm gonna love you anyhow

"miner at the dial-a-view"

I found your house and I saw your car

But I've no idea where you are

From the dial-a-view

Tire scraps on the federal roads

Look like crash landed crows

From the dial-a-view

Hello welcome to dial-a-view

To locate the area in which you wish to observe

You must program in the longitude and the latitude

For a closer more detailed picture

Use either the zoom or micro-zoom controls

Good luck

I dream at night

Of going home someday

Somewhere so far away

So dream alright

I know it's going to take some time

I'm going home someday

Fifteen years is almost done

And I don't recognize anyone

From the dial-a-view

My home my friends and you

I watch them fade but what can I do?

From the dial-a-view

Hello welcome to dial-a-view

I know it's going to take some time

O.K. :P

Farin and I have had further discussions, and he'll probably finalise the Nominations tomorrow morning U.S. Time and start the voting, but extend it as necessary into next week. Please nominate NOW if you haven't yet !

With your co-operation we could still have 2 Top Tens by the end of next week.

I was going to wait until the end of Top Ten #40, but I'll tell you now, as a few people do already know. I'm taking an indefinite break after this Top Ten. Shawna will be taking over my Moderator job on our Threads, and will be assisting Farin, who carries a terrific work load. You've done a great job Mate. With her vast knowledge of music, Shawna will be a big asset to the Top Ten Team.

I certainly want the top tens to keep going, but I have just been insanely busy recently with the national school exams. So I'm going to have to give this one a miss, cause I don't even have the time or energy to think of nominations. Maybe I will be able to vote once all the nominations have been announced :)
