When does the rollout start? Monday?

Cool. We could call it Manic Monday - just like the Madonna song!

but there are 20 songs I like more than "Borderline".

its like i don't even know who you are

I'm giving all I can :-(

#156 "Where Life Begins" (1992) Erotica

list is completelyfullofshit

I can think of twenty Madonna songs better than "Borderline."

Spoiler: I couldn't.

"Where Life Begins" is pretty stupid though

It's by far my least favorite and played Erotica track, and, hey, I like women.

years before hearing the song, i have vivid memories of the lyrics being read on some news report about the controversy over the album and the Sex book (maybe it was MTV News? man i hope there's footage somewhere of Kurt Loder saying "dining in and eating out")

haha i really like it. lot of confessions songs i love at the back end of that list too

"Where Life Begins" was the last song from Erotica I cut to get it down to 5.

The Colonel Sanders line absolutely ruins it for me.

"You like original recipe. I like it extra crispy."

"Mine's been de-beaked."

"kiss the Colonel, and don't be alarmed by how gray his beard is"

"classic pot pie with green peas and carrots covered in a flaky, buttery crust"

"1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons Accent (an MSG-based seasoning)"

Colonel Sanders says it best. "Human choices in acting on sexuality are commonly influenced by cultural norms which vary widely. Restrictions are often determined by religious beliefs or social customs. The pioneering researcher Sigmund Freud believed that humans are born polymorphously perverse, which means that any number of objects could be a source of pleasure. According to Freud humans then pass through five stages of psychosexual development and can fixate on any stage because of various traumas during the process. For Alfred Kinsey, another influential sex researcher, people can fall anywhere along a continuous scale of sexual orientation, with only small minorities fully heterosexual or homosexual. Recent studies of neurology and genetics suggest people may be born predisposed to various sexual tendencies."

"Sorry sir breast pieces cost extra."

"Dining in, or to go?"

is there someplace for me to go to figure out exactly how to do this ballot

like is this just best to worst:
1:40, 2:36, 3:33, 4:30, 5:28, 6:26, 7:25, 8:24, 9:23, 10:22, 11:21, 12:20, 13:19, 14:18, 15:17, 16:16, 17:15, 18:14, 19:13, 20:12

or something? rly feeling like an idiot here

Yep, your #1 vote gets 40 points etc.

Number them 1 through 20, and after each song title give the points value so Johnny Fever can tally them up.

You're not an idiot! There's a first time for everything :)

oh wow

ok

thanks!

yes

basically it's [rank]:[number of points], so the top song on your list will get 40 points, #2 will get 36, etc etc etc

JF asked us to include the point totals on ballots because... well I'm not sure why but he says it will make it easier for him

cool whatever JF needs

JF asked us to include the point totals on ballots because... well I'm not sure why but he says it will make it easier for him

After adding in that many ballots in one go, your memory of what placement gets what amount of points combined with adding them to a figure that's already there and so on and so forth creates an opportunity for mistakes. If the points are right there by the song, I at least know exactly how many points I'm giving it without having to count down your ballot trying to figure out.

You could use spreadsheet trickery for this; add forumlae to cells on one sheet to generate the correct point totals and plug the song name in (after normalization for spell checking, I guess), creating sums for those songs on a linked page that you can then sort by total. Then you wouldn't have to hand-add anything.

of course the remix poll would then become a nightmare

Yeah, the generic poll spreadsheet that finefinemusic made up early on has those formulae. Huge timesaver for me on the polls I've run, but I assumed JF had his reasons for doing Madonna by hand (fnarrr).
