Saw that. Condolences -

Please no.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Please no.

at your service timbo.  

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

I’m not going to change my answer but the more I think about it I’m just not sure YG2HYLA has what it takes to be number one. Maybe a little too simple, not big enough. I still like it to finish well though.

Ok!  I'll consider this a "late entry," so if you win then I'll send a contribution to the second place person's charity, too.

Happy to have you come off the road and join me in this selection.

Let’s go. Chop chop.

Cat-snake time filler

No love for Tweeter and the Monkey Man?    Steal in the monkey song draft.

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

Monkey Man

Top five Stones song. 

 

[DaVinci]

Code Monkey

 

[Zegras11]

While we wait

 

[Leroy Hoard]

While we wait

Now there is a guy that would have me & my monkey in the top 25.

 

[Brunell4MVP]

In My Life is one of the best lyrics ever written.  End of story.

This list is the most difficult, I'd think.  Other than "Don't Let Me Down" (spoiler alert), seems like any of those could reasonably be chosen.

Also, my #11 and #13 come from this list.

 

[krista4]

Sorry, in addition to having a bummer of a day emotionally, I'm having a horrible allergy attack.  I'll hit all this again tomorrow.

 

[shuke]

Those versions of her look like every girl that could be found in the "smoker's lounge" outside in high school.  

Also, typically from the "wrong side of the tracks" ...we literally had "the wrong side of the tracks" in town.  

By the way, totally off-topic but somewhat related to this thread, today I switched from my regular horseradish mustard to this for my turkey sandwich.  So mean but so good.

Heeeyyyyyy1!1!1!1!11!

I like to lick it off my polythene emotional support figurine

 

[shuke]

Out for dinner/drinking.  If you're in a place with TouchTunes, here are my recommendations for songs to jam up the jukebox so no one else's song gets played:

Beatles:  Hey Jude (~7:10), I Want You (She's So Heavy) (~7:45)

Other:  Television, Marquee Moon, ~10.5 minutes, plus has a nice fadeout that makes you think it's over

Neil Young, Cortez the Killer, ~7.5 minutes

Suicide, Frankie Teardrop, ~10.5 minutes consisting mostly of screaming alternating with silence

Oh please.

Grateful Dead - Help on the Way/Slipknot/Franklin's Tower - 19:07

 

[shuke]

Btw, I don’t know anything about what Jane Asher was allegedly like as a person, but good lord was she stunning.

Let's not get carried away.  Stick to the music ranking.

 

[krista4]

Oh please.

Grateful Dead - Help on the Way/Slipknot/Franklin's Tower - 19:07

Mr. krista will be in at any moment to criticize your taste.

Let's not get carried away.  Stick to the music ranking.

I am here right now to criticize your taste.

 

[shuke]

I am here right now to criticize your taste.

Stunning?

Not even tops locally.  Not even close.

 

[shuke]

...and just saw your post in the other thread.  I'm a knob.  My condolences.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

your inbox is full - going to send you a mustard-related message.  

 

[krista4]

Stunning?

Yes, stunning.  Anyone can find the worst picture of a person online and hold that out as representative.  It's not clever, though.

ETA:  Thanks for the condolences, and you're far from a knob.

Big fan.

If I was eating somewhere and the Dead came on the jukebox, I would throw a plate across the room.

And according to Shuke, you'd have 19:07 to do it.

 

[BobbyLayne]

If we're ranking thread subtitles, "Your opinion is wrong" is the best one yet.

 

[heckmanm]

Oh please.

Grateful Dead - Help on the Way/Slipknot/Franklin's Tower - 19:07

Thick as a Brick - 22:40 or 21:06

 

[ScottNorwood]

Yeah, but I kind of feel bad for all you guys that she's referring to with that comment.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Yeah, but I kind of feel bad for all you guys that she's referring to with that comment.

Personally I'm pretty used to having a woman tell me that.

[Spock]

Yeah, but I kind of feel bad for all you guys that she's referring to with that comment.

Pretty sure it was Shaft41 she was referring to.

Probably my least favorite on the top 50 remaining is "Rain".  It just seems...messy.  

Your face is messy!

 

[Shaft41]

Apparently Mr. Mustard isn't the only one who's mean.  

 

[wikkidpissah]

i shave in the dark

 

[Spock]

Apparently Mr. Mustard isn't the only one who's mean.  

If you had a ten bob note up your nose, you'd be mean as well.

wOw - this thread really does need krista

 

[krista4]

I had a dream last night that I was driving with the Beatles channel on the radio, and I heard a fantastic cover of "You Won't See Me" that I'd forgotten to post in my write-up, and I felt shame.

Was it Nipsey? 

I can imagine the daily obsession - I think I'd lose it!

I realized that one part of this adventure for you that I've underestimated in its time is the finding, listening and recommending of covers for each song.  But you've unearthed some gems.  And I'm not a big cover guy.
