Back to the years and the Swinging Sixties for Topher. I've realised I no longer say how to play up here any more, perhaps making it harder for new users to join in. As such, the following instructions will be posted every week, just in case, god forbid, a newbie should want to play.

• To play, post a song from the theme (or year) in this thread with a youtube link if possible.
• Do not post a song that has already been chosen, and please try not to change your answer, though if you really want to, you can. Also, only one entry each.
• 3-5 days after the thread was originally posted, a poll will go up with all the entries (that qualify for the category).
• For the next 3 days the forum can vote on their favourite option, with one vote each. Voting for your own choice is frowned upon but not disallowed.
• When the poll closes, the winner will be invited to choose the next category. In the event of a tie the first entrant (who was joint first) to get back to me will be allowed to choose. If the winner does not pick a choice within 4 or 5 days, the runner-up will be asked choose.

Make your choices now...

[bmstinton93]

That made me laugh.

You always think people will wait around for you don't you Topher! The topic's been up since yesterday, you snooze, you lose!

[Johnny 1989]

Not many for me to choose from this year so I go with this:



The Beatles - I want to hold your hand - December 1963 - Number 1

[English Bob]

I choose 'And Then He Kissed Me' by The Crystals, most famously used in the legendary continuous steadicam shot in Goodfellas I also included the Goodfellas video for good measure!






I was really torn between choosing this song, or Heatwave by Martha and the Vandellas


I'm really ruining my rocker credentials here, aren't I?

[Yudster]

The Crystals track was my second choice.

[Sidders]

If this song doesn't win there's something wrong with everyone!

[nade]

My pick this round:
The Surfaris - Wipeout
(Couldn't find a decent video, so have actually added The Ventures covering the song)

[Bas]

You'll get my vote for the Goodfellas clip alone.

[John22]

Last chance for entries, poll going up late tonight/early tomorrow.

[Boboff]

Been away so there.


This is such an iconic song that it deserves a place in this years poll I feel.

The original Doctor Who Theme.

Thanks

[John22]

Poll is up

Everyone who wants to see Toph grumpy then please vote for me...

Not exactly an unusual occurrence though, is it. It must be as rare as sunrise or autotuning on X factor.
