As you can see, Week 1 Number 1 has now been decided! See below for 'chart'!
Imagine this ... you live in Pythonworld, where everything is Monty Python related. You're fourteen years old, and your mum's given you enough pocket money to buy three singles. You go to the record shop and find that every Monty Python song ever recorded is available on single, and competing for this week's number one!
I, HCAO, am The Record Industry in this world. Tell me which three singles you buy, out of all Python songs, however well known or obscure. And on Saturday morning my time (Friday night most-people-here's time) I will tally up your 'purchases' and reveal the Python Number One!
My three singles are:
- The Galaxy Song
- I'm So Worried
- I've Got Two Legs
I hope you guys will join in! :-)
Comments
Here Comes Another One: Well, Pythonworld citizens - thanks for buying your singles! There isn't a clear chart but there IS a clear Number One. The chart below includes all the songs that got more than one vote.
I'm So Worried, Eric the Half A Bee, Philosophers' Song and Sit On My Face all come joint fifth.
I've Got Two Legs and Decomposing Composers come joint fourth.
Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life and Galaxy Song come joint third
Medical Love Song comes second ...
AND YOUR NUMBER ONE IS ...
LUMBERJACK SONG!
I'll hand over to the chairman of the British 'Well Basically' Club.
Well, basically, we need more people, or possibly less songs to choose from, or possibly MORE opportunities to vote ... any suggestions for making the competition fiercer would be most welcome! Suggestions so far point to three songs not being enough, which I will take on board. I'll start another thread for next week and we'll see how we go! This was fun!
Yours sincerely,
The Pythonworld Music Industry.
Well, basically, I'm content with a second place for MLS, and basically very happy for 'Lumberjack' !!
I suppose it was always going to be a biggie first time round. I'm glad 'Lumberjack Song' song beat 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life'. I feel quite ambivalent towards the latter.
Same here :-)
I'm happy too for the Lumberjack song!
Can we get our pay again, mom, and go to buy another three singles?
genji: Oh yeah, it's the big countdown this evening, isn't it?
Lvndr HppE: Hmmm. First of all, I have to love Pythonworld. Now, for my three singles:
1) Lumberjack Song
2) Bright Side of Life
3) Galaxy Song
Here Comes Another One: Oh by the way, you know how there's been 'Get "..." to Number One campaigns on Facebook?' Maybe we should start one for whichever Python song we vote Number One! It could be worth a try ...
Possibly, but I'm sure there'll be hundreds of similar attempts after Rage Against the Machine. It could be fun but the chances of being successful are slim I would think.
Yes, and what occurred to me after I'd posted that was, the more attempts there are, the more spread out the consumers, and the less likely that the end goal, i.e. one in the eye for Simon bloody Cowell, would come off.
Just spotted Paute's vote below - it'd be so great to see Eric The Half A Bee sell more records than the X-factor. *Wistful sigh*
