Song of the Week - WEEK 54 Voting/WEEK 55 Nominating

3 points: The Curse of Monkey Island (Game Rip) - "A Pirate I Was Meant to Be"

2 points: Spanky's Quest (SNES Game Rip) - Ruins

1 point: Mushihimesama Original Sound Track - Like the Night of the Falling Stars - Stage 4

Not much time for comments this week, I liked the Pirate one because it sounded like Monty Python, the Spanky's Quest was funky, and The Mushihimesama song had an enjoyable atmosphere.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Not much time to vote, so I'm doing this quick:

2 points - Nobunaga's Ambition: Haouden - Blue Whitecaps
2 points - Mushihimesama Original Sound Track - Like the Night of the Falling Stars - Stage 4
1 point - Tekken 3 arcade soundtrack 001 ex - Forest Law
1 point - Blast Corps (Game Rip) - Cromlech Court

Some notes:

I'm already a fan of the Mushihimesama and Tekken 3 soundtracks, so no surprise in the voting there. I think the PlayStation version of "Law" has more power, but the Arcade version has a great melody. Also, while "A Pirate I Was Meant to Be" has very clever and witty vocals/lyrics that made me LOL at one point, the music is rather unspectacular, and thus it fell short of getting points.

Most amazing jew boots

I will vote shortly; please don't close.

EDIT:
3 points: Mushihimesama Original Sound Track - Like the Night of the Falling Stars - Stage 4
2 points: Nobunaga's Ambition: Haouden - Blue Whitecaps
1 points: The Curse of Monkey Island (Game Rip) - "A Pirate I Was Meant to Be"
So close: Spanky's Quest (SNES Game Rip) - Ruins

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I wanted to write comments this time, but I was away this weekend. Guess it's better to post my point spread than doing nothing.

Guybrush: Come on, men! We've got to recover that map!
Bill: That pirate will be done for, when he falls into our trap!
Bill: We're a club of tuneful rovers
Haggis: We can sing in every clef!
Edward: We can even hit the high notes!
Haggis: It's just too bad we're tone deaf!

Bill/Edward/Haggis: A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea!

Guybrush: Let's go defeat that evil pirate!
Edward: We know he's sure to lose, 'cause we know [just] where to fire at!
Edward: We're thieving balladeers.
Haggis: A gang of cutthroat mugs.
Bill: To fight us off ye don't need guns!
Edward: Just really good ear-plugs!

Bill/Edward/Haggis: A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea!

Guybrush: All right, crew, let's get to work!
Haggis: Our vocation is a thing we love, a thing we'd never shirk.
Haggis: We'll fight you in the harbor.
Bill: We'll battle you on land.
Edward: But when you meet singing pirates...
Guybrush: They'll be more than you can stand.
Bill: [Ooooh!] That was a good one!
Guybrush: No, it wasn't.

Guybrush: No time for song! We've got to move!
Bill: The battle will be long, but our courage we will prove!
Bill: We're a pack a' scurvy sea-dogs.
Haggis: Have we pity? Not a dram!
Edward: We all eat roasted garlic...
Haggis: ...then sing from the diaphragm!

Bill/Edward/Haggis: A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea!

Guybrush: Less singing, more sailing.
Edward: When we defeat our wicked foe, his ship he will be bailing!
Bill: If ye try ta fight us...
Haggis: ...you will get a nasty whackin'!
Edward: If ya disrespect our singin'...
Bill: ...we will feed ya to a kraken!

Bill/Edward/Haggis: A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea!

Guybrush: I'm getting so sick of you guys and your rhyming.
Haggis: We're ready to set sail, though the cannons need a-priming.
Edward: We're troublesome corsairs!
Bill: And we've come to steal your treasures!
Haggis: We would shoot you on the downbeat...
Edward: ...but we have to rest five measures.

Bill/Edward/Haggis: A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea!

Guybrush: Stop! Stop! Stop!
Bill: The brass is what we'll polish and the deck is what we'll mop.
Guybrush: You say you're nasty pirates...
...scheming, thieving, bad bushwhackers?
From what I've seen I tell you...
...you're not pirates!
You're just slackers!

Bill/Edward/Haggis: A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea!

Guybrush: We'll surely avoid scurvy if we all eat an orange.
Haggis: And...!
Haggis: ...um...
Bill: Well...
Edward: ...err...
Bill: Door hinge?
Edward: No, no...
Bill: Guess the song's over, then.
Haggis: Guess so.
Edward: Okay, back to work.
Guybrush: Well gee. I feel a little guilty, now.

I was speaking idiomatically.

FELIPE NO

F U BLUE HUBCAPS

And I ended up changing my vote so Cromlech Court gets 2 points anyway. It's like that bad mole that you always pick, and it hurts, but you pick it anyway, and you want to break the habit, BUT DEEP DOWN INSIDE YOU REALLY DON'T.

I didn't even read anyone's comments or look at anyone's votes until after this was closed.

lol Follin week

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Hey, no one was going to touch Blue Whitecaps this week. Be glad you managed to pull it out over Mushihimesama.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, my votes broke what would've otherwise been a tie, you insensitive jerk

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh come off it, guys. I'm really happy for the 2nd place. I just didn't think Hubcaps was THAT great.

And I gave Mushi a point as well.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

This was a tough week, my nom got 7th... ouch.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I was sure that Duke's Theme was gonna place. That's a bit of a disappointment, I think.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ah, so we'll be having an official themed week. This could be interesting. Somewhat surprised Mushihimesama actually managed to place. Go giant beetle thing!
