h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Sounds like that made some of the GreyDesk's hair grey!

After you're done with the hair dye would you like another?

Of course

(dye is nor good to me. I've got hardly any hair)

Tattooing then?

How about: TRex - "Bang a Gong" vs. David Bowie's "Changes"?

Nah, the only tats I've got are the ones I did whilst I was bored at the back of the class in my old school days. They've faded now, thank god

Now if you'd asked me this question at almost any other time in my life, I would have gone with the Thin White Duke. But times change...

T'Rex have been sampled into so many great trancey records over the last few years that it just has to be them now

I meant tatooing the top of your head with a hairlike pattern. (that's my plan)

I really expected a Bowie win there. I love that TRex song tho'.

Thanks for keeping the tourney surprising!

Oh I misunderstood you. No, I have no hair through choice no genetics. I've got a perfect barnet but each hair is no more than a quarter inch long

*elwood tries to imagine a tatoo of GDesks head on his own genetically cleared one*

Actually its getting a bit long now. I need to have it all shaved off again. All the better to nut folk with

We have a few more round two songs to sort out yet.

Then I would like very much for you to be one of the 8 friends to
join us in the round of the Sweet Sixteen!

Me a finalist

T'would be an honour Sire

* doffs cap *



"Gissa' Richard" thats Cockney rhyming slang. Richard => King Richard the Third => Three

Here we go with the Sweet Sixteen match-ups!

"Beds are burning" by Midnight Oil vs. "Brass in pocket" by The Pretenders

Thanks and have a wonderful weekend!

Oooh its gets harder doesn't it.

I really rather like that Midnight Oil track. Its nice and catchy, the video as I recall was excellent.

Well one has to go and I must stay true to my Punk roots, so its bye-bye to the Aussies and rock on Chrissie



* wanders off to look for downloadable Midnight Oil tracks on Morpheus *

Thanks

Bracket 1:
Roxy Music - That was easy

Bracket 2:
Nah, two bunches of old farts. Can I vote for Roxy Music again? No, thought not Well I guess as push has come to shove, it will have to be the Stones. The reasoning
i) Keef has shown that there *are* exceptions to what you're doctor told you about drinking and smoking
ii) I once spent an unpleasant evening sharing a minibus with a bunch of earnest Christians who tried to entertain me with acapella S&G numbers

Bracket 3:
The Thin Dead Dude beats the Fat Dead Dude every time

Bracket 4:
S**t
S**t piss f**k b******s
I love them both and I really really really cannot decide
I vote for which ever one of them needs the vote the most to propel them into the top 4.
Total cop out.
Sorry....

Strange how it falls that way Bracket 2 you could care less about and Bracket 4 you want both to move on. Well that is the closest match-up The Heads are 1 vote up right now without your vote.

Thanks for your sufferring

Here's FINAL FOUR!!! This round is the same as the last with everyone voting between the 2 semi-final match-ups below:

SEMI-FINAL 1
7.Johnny B. Goode – Chuck Berry
1.Satisfaction – The Rolling Stones

SEMI-FINAL 2
1.Jailhouse Rock – Elvis Presley
14.Once In a Lifetime – Talking Heads

I hope your favorites are left!!!

Next round the Championship Match!

Well as three of my four favourites died in the last round, no.

I'll go with the Talking Heads and Chuck Berry.

One of these is starting out unanimously!!!

Thanks for your semi-final votes.

HERE'S THE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!!!

After 62 matches the final two left standing are a bit of a surprise to me, being that they are both from the very beginnings of Rock n Roll in the 1950s. There is an arguement for many other songs to be here other than these, but somehow it seems fitting that two of the founding fathers should face off for the title.

So here goes-

Johnny B. Goode – Chuck Berry
vs.
Jailhouse Rock – Elvis Presley

Thank you for making this so much fun!
