I really hope Life Is A Pigsty beats Everyday is like Sunday.
I was super-bored today and all but ensured Pigsty won this round. Many many many votes. I'm a loser, I know.
I went Pigsty and Speedway.
For those interested, here were the seeds () and match-ups of the Final Four songs:
(1) Everyday Is Like Sunday: The More You Ignore Me The Closer I Get, Jack The Ripper, Seasick Yet Still Docked, All You Need Is Me
(4) Life Is A Pigsty: The Last Of The Famous International Playboys, Hairdresser On Fire, Will Never Marry, Satan Rejected My Soul
(1) Suedehead: The National Front Disco, Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself, Irish Blood English Heart, America Is Not The World
(3) Speedway: Now My Heart Is Full, First Of The Gang To Die, We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful, Boy Racer
Interesting. Given how the various rounds shaped up, I would have liked to see Sunday, Trouble Loves Me, Why Don't You and Speedway make it to the final four. If Sunday and Speedway do contest the final then that's a pretty good result as they are two of his very finest. I hope Speedway ultimately takes the title though.
Four of his most overrated songs. A bit disappointing, and hard to care much which among them wins. Pigsty barely rises above the rest on a thoroughly mediocre album, Suedehead and everyday was nice to have around for a year or two, but I would happily go to my grave without hearing either of them again. And I have never understood the enthusiasm for The akward, lumbering Speedway, which I consider one of the weaker tracks on Vauxhall.
Of all the great songs that might have been in that final 4. Oh well.
And... then there were two. It's the Finals! Slam down the hammer; win yourself a cheap tray!
