votes
The
Running Mates = 5 votes
Many thanks to everyone who flew in to vote on what was likely one of my
last For
the Birds battles. Honestly, I’m not even near the end of my list of ‘Bird’
songs, but it feels like time to move on to another theme. I don’t know what it
will be yet, but in the meantime, I’ve challenged myself to a second battle for
the month of February - in honor of Valentine’s Day, presenting love songs that
don’t actually use the word “Love.” I bet you’ll stop by to see how I’ll ever
pull it off ;-)
Thanks again, everybody – and for your kind condolences as well. Other battle
results are probably available (I’m a slowpoke) at the links located in the top
right column of this page. I'm on my way to check them out now ;-)
See you on the 15th!

ReplyDeleteDid you not submit a vote in your own Battle? If so, there's no mention of it above.
This was an excellent contest - only a 1-vote margin of victory - so I don't know why you're about to retire this theme with so many unused songs on your list, but... you're the boss, Boss!
>>... "love songs that don’t actually use the word “Love.”
Hmmm.... That sounds a little too easy. I think I should challenge myself and do a BOTB installment about love songs that *DON'T* mention love, but which *DO* mention some form of booze. (Think I could manage that? I really don't know but... I may give it a tawt or two.)

"love songs that *DON'T* mention love, but which *DO* mention some form of booze." Looking forward to that one! ☺
DeleteYou'll see what I mean, Stephen ;-)
DeleteI was completely... bluffing.
DeleteBy now, *everyone* should know not to take me the least bit seriously. I talk tough, like Wild Turkey 101, but in reality, I'm more like a Coors Light.

Great battle, diedre! Close ones are the best, IMO. I'll swing by on the 15th to vote, but won't be doing a BOTB myself until March 1st.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie. Enjoy the month!
DeleteWell, fiddlesticks, Stephen T. I did forget to add that I voted for Rita and Josh. But it was a tough call. Almost changed my mind.
ReplyDelete"Fiddlesticks"?!?!
DeleteHey, you watch your language around me, young lady!! I'll have you know that I am a respectable Christian canine, and I don't cotton to questionable language being used in my presents!
(It's OK in my presence, but I dersn't like it in my presents. And I think of 'Comment Replies' as presents.)
