Songs of 2006: Heat #5

[piratemoggy.livejournal.com]

It's the penultimate Heat of 2006! I can't do maths it transpires (or rather 'didn't think about needing to do any maths when I started this') so we will also actually have a post-heat-6 poll of the nearly-rans to get the numbers up to 40 but we're getting there.

Through from the Heat Of Death:
Justin Timberlake - SexyBack (12)
Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous (11) (this rly surprises me! I thought it was the weakest single)
Taylor Swift - Should've Said No (10)
Nelly Furtado - Say It Right (10)
Hot Chip - Over & Over (9)

And there's a four-way tie on 7, more of which later...


1. Tick SIX (6) songs wot you like the best of all of these.

2. They will go through to the 2006 final.

3. If you tell us what the best song you've heard out of the comments that you hadn't heard before is, you get a seventh tick for the next heat.

Extra ticks from last round go to koganbot and credoimprobus. (GUYS, it is so easy! You just write a thing in a box! You can lie if you like although obviously I'd rather you didn't and it wouldn't be in the interests of FAIR POLLIN' which might as well be our only attempt at a purpose etc. etc.)

[Poll #1734903]



Poll closes lunchtime GMT, Tuesday 3rd May.

Boy's giving Taylor a line, she lets him know she knows it's a line, but in her gut she wants it to be true, and she gives him a summer's worth of nights on lover's lane. Tim McGraw is their Barry White-like soundtrack. Then, after the breakup, Tim's the sound that provokes wistfulness or hot rage depending which way you poke this song. Still my favorite Taylor song, and the best and most complex lyrics of the '00s not to have the names Eminem or Ashlee in the writing credits.



(Will link the official vid and some comments of mine in my next comment, but Moggy or Kat or someone will have to unscreen it - PLEASE - for you to see them.)

I think I've unscreened it. I've never had that happen before though so am not sure!

[koganbot]

Thanks. It actually happened to me in Round Two as well, but I didn't make a thing of it (is my second comment on the Tigarah subthread), so it's still sitting waiting to be unscreened.

I think what's happening is that with all the DOS attacks and spamming, lj tightened their default settings so the way you've now got it is that they will screen or mark as spam anything that contains links and isn't from a mod. I've loosened my own settings since I don't mind spam sitting for a couple of hours before I see and delete it. I basically want to make sure that anhh, who posts anonymously, gets to continue posting and embedding and linking on my threads (though I haven't heard a peep from anhh in several months).
