Song Discussions for Vid_Bingo 2020 project

[colls]

I've made a YouTube playlist with the song suggestions so far in random order so that everyone can listen.

Please talk about which songs you think might work best/least for this sort of project below. Let me know if you have one to add.

I'm hoping we can come to a consensus - or I can put up a poll with the top contenders - within a week(-ish)

I really like Barenaked Ladies, but find their pacing and lyrics difficult to vid. Similar feelings on first listen to 'Timber', but likely because I'm unfamiliar with the song.

I like the idea of We Will Rock you because there are so many cover versions available.

Aha, I forgot to come back and fill out my suggestions. I was thinking Fall Out Boy - Champion, Lizzo - Juice. For something a bit more random, Never Give Up On Me by Andy Grammer.

We should definitely all vid Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up"

[colls]

I've added these songs to the list.

Are there any in the list that you would have trouble vidding?

[colls]

I've added it to the list. Are there any that we might be able to remove? Thoughts?

[dirty_diana]

I'd personally be a bit stumped by the strictly romantic ones. For pro votes, outside my suggestions, my top two just idea-wise are maybe Timber and Shake It Out. But I'll think about it more while I await the poll.

[seekingferret]

Oh I was 100% kidding

[colls]

Well.... I didn't want to assume and be all judgy
(LOL)

[colls]

I tend to agree about the romantic ones and was thinking I'd have to do a parody there or something?

OK, cool. Thank you! :)

[dirty_diana]

I don't see Lizzo on the playlist, btw? (There is a clean version, as played by the radio constantly.)

[seekingferret]

:P

[colls]

Sorry, had looked it up and didn't click 'add' - it should be there now.

This is a really enjoyable playlist! I like Odds Are and Call Me Maybe for fun/humor vids or We Will Rock You covers for something with some badassery. Interested to see what everyone votes for in a poll!

[cupidsbow]

My preference is one of these: 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 13

And I've thought of one to add: Fun.: We Are Young ft. Janelle Monáe

[colls]

Thank you for adding preferences, I think it helps others see what's we're thinking. :)

I like that song, too! Added.

I'm thinking of a ranking sort of thing for the poll... will work on it this weekend.
