Seconded.

[mae]

Yay! Need someone else to go, I've got a good one to nominate....

[Girlystevedave]

Oh no, guys. We're missing some Otis on this list. :o



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUaO50nWnvg

[mae]

It's #50 on the good-to-go list ;)

[Girlystevedave]

Oh good gosh, I am so stupid. :lol:
I'll nominate something else in a minute. :)

[Girlystevedave]

Okay. Let me try this again. If this one's on the list and I missed it, I give up nominating until I invest in some glasses. :lol:



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQstQST1GiM

[mae]

No, you're good. Here's mine:

That's my favorite Patsy Cline song. :)

Seconded.

[mae]

Hooray :nana: As an instrumental fan, divemaster, I hope you didn't miss "Man in Space". Such an awesome tune!

[divemaster]

Shall I nominate again, just to give this thread a kick?

[mae]

Well, if no one minds (and I doubt anyone will), we can reduce the waiting period for Threads 3 and 4 to one as with Threads 1 and 2, and then you can go as soon as I (or someone else goes).

[divemaster]

Someone please go. If you need a suggestion, feel free to PM me.

[Tommy]

Something festive.... :smile:

Thank you for thinking to nominate this. Seconded!

[Girlystevedave]

Guys, here's a pretty cool article about how Dion created "Runaround Sue". :)

http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-story-behind-runaround-sue-1452616310

[mae]

I'm surprised "Monster Mash" is not getting a second on a King forum! It's the Halloween song!

[Iwritecode]

I'll second Monster Mash.

[mae]

Thanks! I know it's kooky and won't go far but I love it.

[divemaster]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woU_ExQBIc0

Seconded.

[divemaster]

I'll make a pitch for a couple of secondings. I nominated some fun and interesting songs that may or may not get seconded (I think #s 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 22, 26, 27, and 29 from Pablo's master list are all mine, and some good stuff in all that!); but the two I'm surprised have not been seconded are Crying (Roy Orbison) and Blue Velvet (Bobby Vinton).

[mae]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woU_ExQBIc0

Seconded.

That's a third! I was shocked it still was not nominated.

There are just so many good ones to second that I always have a hard time choosing! :panic:
For now, I want to second

2nd, but won't go far.

I've gotta say that, although I know this song is iconic, I absolutely hate it. :lol:

[mae]

I do have about 10 great tracks still left to nominate here! :panic:

[Tommy]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0F8T0Hnzs0

Hmmmm, wonder what this song could be about?

[mae]

We can't seriously get on with the tournament without Louis Armstrong:

I can keep this going all night but I'll just one more:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxcfa1mducI

[mae]

One two spots left, so selfishly I hope Louis Armstrong's "Hello, Dolly" and The Drifters's "This Magic Moment" get seconded. But there are other great tunes available as well, of course. We couldn't get them all in.

[Tommy]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F_opWg9_qI

[Tommy]

I got three more great ones left right now....

[Tommy]

Gah, no Louis Armstrong? :cry:

I know! I like Hello Dolly but I don't love it as much as What a Wonderful World which, I was a dunce for not nominating. I did not think that song had come out in the 60's. I thought it was a much older track and that someone else would nominate it. I'll try not to whine too much about songs that didn't make it but this one (What a Wonderful World) is the only one so far that didn't make it that I think had a chance to win the whole thing. :doh:

[mae]

Yeah, I have no idea how I missed nominating "What a Wonderful World". Just spaced, I guess. But I felt "Hello, Dolly" was a great replacement. Probably his second best. Very iconic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello,_Dolly!_%28song%29

"Hello, Dolly!" won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1965, and Armstrong received a Grammy for Best Vocal Performance, Male.

I'm confused? Three of these were nominated and seconded.

[mae]

"The Loco-Motion" really should've been in the running. Such a distinct early '60s sound, as well as "I Will Follow Him". What can I say, I'm a sucker for good catchy pop songs, so watch out, I'll be doing some funky ones in the late '90s (yes, Britney Spears).

Nah, you're not confused. Obviously I am. Sorry about that. It was late (early). :redface::doh:

I nominated I Will Follow Him b/c it is one of my all-time favorites from that era. And it was seconded, so we'll see how far it goes!

[Tommy]

Again, sorry about that, I can alter my post if need be?

[mae]

I missed that one, too, I was using Ctrl+F and looking for "Follow" but on the list it was "Folllow" with three Ls :) Happy that we got it in!
