Games & Recreation Song Contest Part XXIII, Host: LunchladyDoris, Theme: Hidden Gems, Votes Due: Wednesday 9pm AEDT

[Hydatina Physis]

Forgot I entered sorry.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

I think it was either you or Aristotle Pickett

Well I'll jump in for expediency, if Pickett really wants it they can fight me for it.

Not sure if this has been done before but let's find some hidden gems.

Theme: Less than 10k Plays - Your nommed song must have less than 10k plays on youtube. Hope this isn't too onerous, but we're all music lovers. Can probably be gamed a little but so be it.

No previous noms.

Noms in by 11pm pls as I will be a bit busy tonight so the playlist release will be a little delayed.

I see this as all actual (ie not covers, mashups etc) versions of the song (since you said, song, not clip etc) available on YouTube adding up to below 10k views eg if there's 3 different uploads of a song and they have 7k, 3k and 500 respectively that makes it ineligible. Is this how you'll be moderating it?

 

[DemurePrincess]

Gosh! This one is tricky! So we are either looking for something new! Something shit! Or???

And what MWPP just said

I may have to sit this one out

Just under 10k in any one song surely *edit

 

[MWPP]

Just under 10k in any one clip surely

The OP did say Song not Clip . So I'll be very disappointed if this is the case as it makes it a free for all and takes away from the spirit of the theme which was prefaced by the not too onerous/we are all music lovers afterall bits.

Music is subjective. The idea is that it's a less known song for whatever reason. But many less known songs are still very good. I was spoilt for choice initially. But then I avoided topic clips, and songs that were too new (which I loosely defined as released this month) and also avoided ones that totalled anywhere near 10k because with the round running for 2-3 days from nomination to results there's always a risk that the views blow out (and by more than can be accounted for by the song contest entrants listening alone) . This narrowed it down a little.

Yes soz I should have said song!!!

I see you edited.

So the real question is- if there’s an official audio, an official video, a video by a media outlet, and fan uploaded clip (which is the same song, just has some lyrics or fan pics as the background) , and the views of all the versions combined total more than 10k, do you actually think that’s acceptable provided the least viewed one or ones are individually under 10k?

To be clear, I don’t. Because it’s far too easy to find a version /clip /upload of a song that has under 10k views whilst the more popular versions /clips /uploads of the same song have more. Plus they’re all views of the same song - just different uploads.

 

[spinynorman]

I’m just happy with my 6.8k plays obscurity that I found.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

I'm not worried about covers, live versions, remixes or whatever.

Just has to be the official (or most official in some cases) video for the song.

For clarity: I will accept good quality live videos as well, as long as the official is also less than 10k views.

Oh these can be new gems as well!

Hope that makes sense?

This is the 'gaming' I was talking about, but I don't know why people would bother trying this.

 

[BFew]

My first attempt at entering has just gone up in flames.
But a brave attempt by someone at pulling a swifty on everyone, including me.
If anyone can help identify where this song came from, I might post it in the BF Crime threads.

What's up with that?

 

[BFew]

What's up with that?

Lack of concrete evidence that Taylor Swift has anything to do with that song.
Or that the alleged singer is actually a real person.
