In my haste this past weekend I may have messed up the poll and not had public voting… Well..I’ll go with the results as is?
Oh hey the results tell me that @IPD is our big winner this week

Everyone can see the results rights?
Anyway… Also congrats to @Marcie and @OutdoormanNowActuary who get some other points as well!
Round 5: Submit a song that features lyrics in a language that is not English
I’m looking for something that has at least a verse that is in another language, up to the whole song that is non-English. Bonus points for songs that feature more than one language (bonus points are worth 0 normal points)

I’ll update all the scoring and stuff later today when i have time.
I voted for Wolfmother this time around. I wasn’t familiar with this group but I was a fan.
Hell yeah. I’m just submitting my personal style this time instead of going safe.
Not many updates this week. Mod must be lagging behind 
I don’t even know if my submission was a duplicate!
Round 4 scoring:
@IPD gets 7
@Marcie gets 4
@OutdoormanNowActuary gets 4
Totals are being updated at the top of the thread.
I don’t think I had responded to anyone. I did look at them, I don’t think there were any duplicates
Flog the intern.

Something to also consider:
There are some artist who put together an album that tells a story throughout (think Pink Floyd’s The Wall)
Be interesting to put together a list of these types of albums, listen to all of the songs and vote for the “best” song that represents the album’s story . . . then have a vote for best story.
Ohh now thats an interesting concept
woops…switch the artist/song title order for Bilingue by Snow Tha Product.
I see what you did there.
I don’t think I have anytime today to listen to the entrants so probably no vote from me. Sorry.
Was already familiar with 99 Luftballoons (had it as an alternate in the color round, but forgot about it here), Feliz Navidad and Avalancha.
99 Luftballoons is a jam. Probably the best song of the group.
Feliz Navidad is annoying, and I wanted to immediately write it off. But I listened, and it’s actually pretty decent.
Avalancha is an absolute rocker.
Of the ones I didn’t know, I liked:
Coraline - Maneskin: Solid. Love the transitions of the song, and each of them on their own.
Julieta Venagas - Limon y Sal: Okay. Decent. The hook is good. Music video is a trip.
Shakalabbits - Pivot: Good enough to get a mention here.
Snow Tha Product - Bilingual: Second best of the unknowns. The english to spanish rap is pretty solid in places.

When my brother and I get together during Christmas we always rank our top 10 favorite songs of the year, and also our top 5 Christmas songs of all time (it changes occasionally), and sometimes a least favorite Christmas songs list. Feliz Navidad is always in my top 5 x-mas songs. Something about it
Coraline was #2 for me. It started off kind of boring and I was thinking it would stay like that the whole way through, but it got better when there was contrast.
Bumping for more votes! Got a few more hours or so I think
