Uh oh lol, maybe this is a bad category. Simplistically, what are those songs that have 1 or 2 lines that you just love? That you instinctively sing along to, or get stuck in your head on repeat. They don't have to "make" the song, but they might.

Death Cab for Cutie - Tiny Vessels

"so when you ask, 'is something wrong?'
I think you're damn right there is, but we can't talk about it now"

Something about the delivery and candidness of this line makes me love it.

MGMT - Time To Pretend

"I'll move to Paris shoot some heroin and **** with the stars"

I change the song after this line, don't really care for MGMT in general, but I love this line for some reason. Can't say I have a good explanation for why, unfortunately lol.

Bon Iver - 33 GOD

"Staying at the Ace hotel!"

I like the rest of this song, but this is the climax and really what makes it, imo. This line is only impactful because of the arrangement around it, as opposed to the others which are more lyrically driven.

Phoenix - Rome

"always and forever more, I called to say I'm on the way"

Another song I enjoy in it's entirety, but this line is just beautifully delivered.

Does that help at all? I'm guessing not really lol.

Should probably be one or two lines. Death Cab example above is a good example of a longer one.

Let me try to figure it out

JMurder - who's judging your songs? You or your 5 year old?

My 5 y/o, with my assistance.

Haven’t played in a while. My category will be instrumental post-rock. Will expound later.

Go on, in.

My category will be rock/metal covers of well known songs.

How well I know the original song will be part of my rankings.

in literally to submit to IBD and possibly meme the others

category/tastes post TBA when i can look up examples or convince myself it's a bad idea

Prip, I was really just thinking of Shine on you crazy diamond; it’s like 6 mins of guitar before it finally sings the first lines and they only sing for like 1 minute then back to just instruments again

been sweating the other thread and this looks pretty fun so count me in.

For category I am leaning towards theme songs but may try to think of something else.

theme songs? as in tv theme songs?

my brother might be interested in playing this

I can have him create a 2p2 account

Yeah, I'd say none of the lyrics there carry much power to me. I might just change my category lol. It's probably not fair to try to get people to guess what random lines I'll latch on to.

Brotherene

That's a shame because I've got your winner right here, Prip.

I'm open to any type of theme song (tv, movie, video games are the main ones that come to mind).

Would be basing the majority of the ranking on how good the actual song is, but the thing it is a theme song for would probably play at least a little into the ranking.

Does that work? never done one of these before - could easily think of another category.

I'm in, category TBD

Yes, he can join only if this is his username

I'll let him know

So if a band has a top 40 song outside the US, they're still eligible?

should put a rule in there that ranked ties split points just so people know

i would really like it if the exact same version of the exact same song was an autotie but i guess that's controversial.

are people actually considering doing a walrus about things other than music?

It seems I spoke too soon. I don't understand this at all.

Songs with bacon in it.

edit: Turkey bacon will really rank you higher

in

Wonder how big the pool of available songs is for this one

Pretty much limited to us all tying with the old McDonald’s theme song
