That's officially 5 votes for six. Once EJ makes his final pick, I'll figure out when voting starts.
What's the standard time frame for voting? 24 hours?

And here are the final teams. I'll randomize first-round match-ups soon. I'm thinking 2 matches per day, 36 hours to vote?

I feel like there was this weird thing going on where if someone picked a song that was closely related to another song, it was tough to justify picking the other song. Like since someone picked "Dr. Zaius," it seemed redundant to pick "Chimpan-a to Chimpan-z," and same goes for "Plow King" and "Mr. Plow." Or, at least, that's how I felt.
I did a rough count, and of the 48 songs selected, it looks like around 20 featured Homer is some capacity, far more than any other character.

I almost drafted the Cletus theme, the Mount Splashmore thing, the past tense Itchy and Scratchy end credit theme, and this little ditty...
Re: The Simpsons Song Tournament - FINAL DRAFT ROUND IN PROG
And, I couldn't find a non-Spanish youtube of Rod & Todd singing their bedtime joy song.

I would've put it in if there were 8 rounds. I was going to try and edit that down and put it up on youtube.

If I had a couple million bucks to spare, I'd produce a full-length live-action version of Paint Your Wagon, with the opening two minutes being a shot-for-shot recreation of the one Homer and Bart watch. Musical number and all.

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.
