Pulpularity contest: Round one
Permalink  
 

It's boring round here with nothing to talk about, so I'm starting up one of those pointless time-killing competitions people try from time to time.

The rules are simple - choose winners from a set of elimination matches, each week the votes will be counted, winners will be listed and tracks eliminated.

The songs are seeded so we shouldn't have any Babies vs Common People, not for a while anyway.

Eventually there will be an ultimate winner, might take a while though.

So, here are the pairings for round one, week one.

 

David's Last Summer vs Duck Diving

Roadkill vs Coy Mistress

Babies vs It's a Dirty World

Live Bed Show vs Aborigine

Don't You Know vs Femme Fatale

I forget to say, if you haven't heard a song or don't remember it then you're free to just vote for four, or three or whatever.

I thought Robbie Williams and Pulp's relationship more interesting than another Champions League knockout of Pulp songs. Anyway...ftw:

David's Last Summer
Roadkill
It's A Dirty World
Live Bed Show
Don't You Know

I agree about Dirty World, it's clear that Jarv was off his face bless him. But even so, you're still a massive traitor!

 

 

In all seriousness though, it was really difficult for me to pick between the two.

It's possibly my favourite Pulp single and one of my favourite songs but IADW still leaves me gobsmacked six and a half years after hearing it having assumed it was originally discarded with good reason. Plus, everybody loves the underdog (not the song).

Ooh yes will they, Weej? what will happen if there's a draw for some songs too? I think it will be a shame to lose Babies or IADW so early on.

Duck Diving is a lost classic, so there.

Ok, to make things clear.
Losing songs will be eliminated forever. All CDs/Records/Taopes must be melted down, all mp3s deleted. Your memories will be selectively erased with magnets.
If there's a draw I guess both can survive (hadn't really thought about this)
