Song of the Week - WEEK 72 Voting/WEEK 73 Nominating

VERY IMPORTANT NEWS

I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

Also, there were two glitches with this week's tracks, one minor and one pretty bad:

1). Saturday Night Slam Masters (SNES Game Rip) - Contagion (King Rasta Mon) was accidentally tagged with the album in the artist field and vice versa.

no one's going to give it points anyway, so that doesn't really matter in the long run

2). Metal Slug ~Complete Sound BOX~ - Cliff and Cave (Mission 1-2) was not uploaded at all; in its place was Darkcomet72's nomination before he changed it, Hotdog Storm (Game Rip) - Stage 5. If you managed to get hold of the Hotdog Storm track, DO NOT LISTEN TO IT. Get the Metal Slug 6 one in its place.

How ya doing, buddy?

(a fable)

Once upon a time, there lived a young zookeeper. One day, he heard that, in a bigger zoo in a bigger city, there was an elephant who painted by picking up a paintbrush with his trunk.

"You know," he said to himself, "I bet that we could attract a lot more visitors to our zoo if we had a creative animal like that."

Since a painting had already been done, he instead decided to test his animals' musical aptitudes. He rented a piano, put it in a small room along with a monkey, and recorded the instrument's output. He then took the recording, clipped out the most interesting five minute passage, and shared it with one of his fellow zookeepers.

"I don't know about this," his coworker said. "This doesn't sound very good at all. I mean, the monkey ran aimlessly up and down the keyboard and jumped on random chords. And I think he even went into an epileptic seizure in the middle."

"You know, you're absolutely right. And I think I know exactly what to do to make this better."

So, the first zookeeper rented a second piano, put it and a second monkey in the same room with the first monkey and piano, and recorded anew.

And this is that song:

• Artist: Twin Magic (Michitoshi Hirose, Kei Takanashi)

• Track Title: Ruined Heart
• Disc Number: 1 (of 1)
• Track Number: 8

• Additional Information: Rejected because nominating a piano duet for Percussion Week would've been a bit of a cop-out.

I'm rather sure there wasn't an album release of the JFG soundtrack. Not even promotionally.

If Cliff and Cave places (and I'm thinking it will, although I haven't updated the tally in a while), the Metal Slug box will be disqualified.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Voting is closed!

1). [29] IRIDION 3D & II Arranged Soundtrack Perfect Selection - Iridion II - See The Sun Burn
2). [25] Metal Slug ~Complete Sound BOX~ - Cliff and Cave (Mission 1-2)
3). [20] Pac-Man World 2 (Game Rip) - Pinky's Revenge

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I was surprised at that too, to be honest. I thought I had a lock on last place.

How ya doing, buddy?

Ordinarily, since he made his nomination after voting was closed, it wouldn't go into effect because nominations are restricted at the same time (I should start putting this into the results post as well).

However, since we're up for a battle, everything's okay!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
