The Simpsons Song Tournament - SIMPLE TORTURE WINS

[LoathedVermin72]

Are "Do the Bartman" and "Deep Deep Trouble" eligible?

I actually mean to address this in the rules--I don't think they should be, since they weren't featured on the show.

Bart definitely sings a portion of "Do the Bartman" on the show.

Oh, then someone could pick that particular performance, definitely. But not the "whole song" from The Simpsons Sing the Blues.

Here's an important question, and be honest, everybody: should I participate or just run this?

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

just don't give yourself extra votes in case of a tie. That's been done here before, and it's not kosher. Otherwise I only back out of tournaments i run if someone else is trying to get in. That doesn't seem to be the case here, so lets get started!

[Simple Torture]

I've updated the rules to make a few questions people had more clear. Please also note the Template I added tot the first post; it'll just help me keep things organized, so please use it!

I'll post the draft order around 12:00PM eastern time on Monday, and I'll PM everybody to let us know that we've started. Have fun!

[Simple Torture]

How you'll know that this isn't fixed: I used a random number generator to do the draft order, and I got 8th

[Simple Torture]

We are currently drafting NOW. EJ has the first pick in the first round, and he'll have twelve hours to make his pick (12:00PM EST Monday to 12:00AM EST Tuesday). I'll post the draft order for the first round under the spoiler (you can see the rest of the rounds in the header post).

[E.H. Ruddock]

I'm excited to watch this tournament.

[Simple Torture]

There was only one other song that I thought could possibly be picked first.

[Norah]

Monorail would have been my number 1 but my backup came down to three choices. I'll go with:

Round 1
Pick 2
Song: We Do (The Stonecutters' Song) performed by The Stonecutters
Episode: 6/12

[EJ]

There was only one other song that I thought could possibly be picked first.

Yeah, I considered the other front runner, but opted for this one instead.

[doug rr]

pick 3
song Dr Zeus
season 7

[Norah]

good one

[Simple Torture]

So, here's the first question of the tournament, which I'm not sure how to answer: does doug get to draft the entire Planet of the Apes musical, or JUST the "Rock me Dr. Zaius" song?

[Simple Torture]

Maybe trag should hold off from picking until we decide. What was your intention, doug?

We better decide now so it establishes precedent.

[Norah]

I would say just that one song. So he doesn't get chimpan a to chimpan z
