BOTV 14 - HIPPY HIPPY SHAKE

[einar]

Strange promotion rules in this Army!

[sowhat]

Strange? Maybe. But to me, it seems quite logical. If you post a certain number of messages, you get promoted to next level. And if you've been around for many years, you get promoted to a special status — longevity counts. And of course, Veteran status doesn't mean you have to retire; quite the opposite.

Glad to see you back Mike is it possible to give me your 2, 3 and 4 of the remaining versions

[royclough]

Einar in answer to your query and I had not counted before but answer is 190 songs with 4 versions or more cumulated from collection of CD's, Records and MP3's.

I have a significant number with three versions or more.

So more than enough to keep BOTV going if there was interest.

Song with most versions I have is Needles and Pins 14 versions.

[beatlefreak]

For me, it's 4, 3, 2, 1 (blast off!)

I think some of those who put version 4 last will be surprised when they see who it is.

Yes!

Well, at least i am 99,9 % sure it's not the Ramones or Dire Straits, nor is it Searchers or Ventures (i think), so whoever it is, i won't be too much regretting my choice.

You're right about the first part, not so sure about the second, haha!

[sowhat]

We'll see, we'll see. Ha-ha.

[einar]

Roy, can't believe all the music you posess! But the future of BOTV should be bright! After most of your 4-versions stock is used, keep it going with 3 options! And, as for Needles, you cold try with quarter finals first!

[royclough]

Thanks Einar hope to keep it going but truth is nt many participate, that's not a gripe as we say just a statement of fact, perhaps it depends on the song or the fact that people are bored having to listen to 4 versions of same song.

[sowhat]

Sometimes those different versions are not really different - not in a way, say, this version of "Farmer John" is different from a certain version by a certain band from Liverpool you may have heard about. It's really tough to decide when all the versions sound much similar...

[royclough]

It's different alright mainly because it's rubbish.

[sowhat]

Heh-heh. My little brain doesn't think so.

[einar]

It's modelled after Neil Young's version! The drummer does his best to sound like Neil, and the ahahahah vocals are also very identical. Quite liked it!
