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?

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!

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!

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

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

Round 1
Pick 2
Song: We Do (The Stonecutters' Song) performed by The Stonecutters

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?

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