This is the hardest I've ever had to think when voting for the champs.

Am I ever?

Still, it's not cool to try and sabotage/influence the voting like that. I don't think Circus was ever way behind (and it certainly isn't as I type this).

I know you're just kidding around and, yes, it's just a silly poll on a messageboard. But JC has spent a lot of time puting this together and this is a pretty respected tradition for several people here.

ok maybe it wasn't way behind, but it was down 9-6 or 9-7 or something when i voted. i think the suggestion that i was trying to "sabotage" the voting is completely without merit and frankly insane. i could care less which song wins. as i stated, it was a draw for me. i apologize if you perceive otherwise. i don't know why i even bothered voting, or why i even bother coming back to this unfriendly godforsaken messageboard. in fact, i think i'm all done here.

I'm pretty sure that one, or both of you is a witch and should be burned at the stake to prove or disprove this theory.

Carl, I think you've over-reacted. I think anyone should be able to say why they voted the way they voted. This whole thing is really not a big deal, and definitely not worth getting upset over.

Well, in that case, I offer a sincere apology to Andrew.

Yes, I'm joking.

"You can do it Mosis Ptosis
You're a big girl now.
You don't need me to show you how."

Not only are these Matt Pelham's best lyrics ever, but I think the topic of the song is very appropriate.

I voted for Circus, as Mosis Ptosis is by FAR my least favourite Features song. In fact, it's probably the only one I can think of that I actively dislike.
...and this ain't one of them...

Exactly! Mosis Ptosis is almost the best song they've made. I voted for circus because I like the lyrics better and it also has the added element of a mystery word.

I'm still not sure I know what mosis ptosis is even about.

I think it's about his girls growing up and being self-reliant. It's named after the nonsense his daughters (used to) speak when they do (did) something by themselves. Pretty adorable.

It's the part of the show I go to get another drink.

Maybe if they, y'know, added a tune to it, then I might like it.

So I guess Mosis is the winner? I have to say I'm disappointed. I have to side with Andy here. I love the energy of the song and think it's fun to dance to, but I don't think it's by any means one of the great Features songs. (It does trump "Piss is Golden," though.) Maybe we were all just tired of seeing Circus win?

See, Carl? I saved my $.02 until after the poll was over. Just for you. smile.gif
