I can't see why anyone would dislike it. It's just an instrumental with a touch of Parisian atmosphere. No voices to irritate anyone ! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,976 Posted August 20 50s instrumentals probably have the closest floor-to-ceiling for any type of music, ie it'd be hard for me to get upset at incidentally hearing them in a restaurant, but very few would go beyond background noise. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,397 Posted August 20 I'd be surprised if that wasn't the quickest round ever! Good work. Next! 25 down to 7 this time. Again, I knew very few of these.

theoldlady 2,302 Posted August 20 Looks like @Death Impends and @Bibliogryphon need to re-vote as they seemed to have missed that @AstroKat had already -6ed The Stargazers along with upvoting several other songs. @TQRPlease do not vote until this is fixed. If this does not get fixed today, can we vote twice on Wednesday? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,397 Posted August 20 Cheers @theoldlady. Best course of action is to completely ignore Bib and DI’s votes and carry on from AstroKat’s; @Bibliogryphon and @Death Impends can do their votes again. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
