Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

ok, as suggested by master Stimpee...i've decided to put the top 5 most popular song titles suggested in the Annual UW poll into one final vote off to see what we think is the best name for an Underworld single...

the five to vote for are:

paper dream
library weather
three tickets
what dog?
feeding the elephants

just vote for the one you think is most sounding like an Underworld track name, and the person who came up with it will win a prize from my (spare) pile of UW stuff...

this poll will close in 3 Days...so get in quick

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

I'll lean towards "paper dream".

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

poll's up now....you were too quick ;)

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

hehe, yah, I posted my reply, and then the poll showed up... I thought I was just seeing things :P

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

erm.. thanks. votes spread over too many choices before thats all.
is that really it? not vote for the one you like best? :)

*wanders off to feed the elephants*

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

Yes its always hard to find out correct title for an album.

Btw. Do we know working titles for Dubno and STITI?

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

Still Three tickets, I reckon. Yeah.

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

well yes - its one in the same, theone you like best is the one you think sounds like a uw track i suppose....looks like library weather to me

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

I think it has to be "What dog?" cos that made me laugh so much when Karl said it in the L'world broadcast.

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

paper dream is an excellent word play and idea. imo.

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

Yeah, that was funny. But can you imagine if that was really the title? Inside-jokes and usual-crypticness aside, it reminds me of "what up, dog?" by Was (Not Was) from 1988. Blechy! That was a usual suspect in the discount cassette bins of my youth!

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

what dog? we have no dog. we are dogless.

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

Looks like library weather today ;)

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

Hey, so I won. Do I get something? ;)

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

To the victor, the spoils... well done!

I still like Three tickets, though...

... and I'm stunned I got fourth with a crap in-joke like that. ;):D

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

I didn't even vote for my own entry (Paper Dream) in either poll, my vote actually went to Three Tickets. There were some all-around creative entries here.

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

yep, i'll sort you out some stuff, i'll pm you tomorrow ;)

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

Yeah, that's what I voted for both times. Like I said before, it sounds like the sort of visual/conversational fragment that Karl seems to pick up and use as a lyric or title. I really like it. Who came up with it?

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

I think I might be using these 5 entries as names for as yet untitled Underworld tracks that pop up on bootlegs. It certainly beats naming them Untitled #1 to Untitled #5.

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

That'd be nice! These are just as valid/random as some of the live tracknames like "Small Conker and a Twix" or "Moroccan Meatball"! :rolleyes: :p

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

I like that idea. Can I propose 'Paper Dream' for the simple melody before Pearl's Girl at HMH? It's track 3. (It's also in the Zurich gig, track 5 before Kittens.)
:)

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

congrats, real stuff!

Re: Song Poll final battle... the best 5
 

Paper Dream seems more like an ambient title to me, so I'll take a listen and find something suitable for it. The first tracks at both HMH and Zurich need titles and then theres the Jumbo Improv from Osaka. but we have quite a lot of untitled jams and improvs from the 2005 tour that I think it makes sense. Nice to do something with the titles after all this effort.
