POLL: Fan Favorites - Our Favorite Songs of Summer
Added 2024-07-24 22:10:12 +0000 UTCIt's July and the height of summer here in the northern hemisphere. So, for the second time, we're counting down our favorite Songs of Summer.
I've compiled the top 19 up-voted submissions from our Discord round. These options are displayed according to their vote totals in the first round, with the highest vote-getters at the top. Your task is to vote for up to five that you most want to see in the video.
Here is a YouTube Playlist for these selections: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO0n3LrUjxKqTzONPyAotgWQsN8cqUYxs&si=COakoJ9WMFE1mvBZ
Here's a link to a spreadsheet presentation of these options, including the submitter's notes: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11cXUezpyHw0MqlmxqX69yPtWXWJeVsFHTjKnpQgjN9U/edit?usp=sharing
This poll will be active through Sunday, July 28. I expect to release the video on Tuesday, July 30.
Thanks, as always for your participation!

Would like to have seen Bobby Goldsboro's "Summer (The First Time)" on the list.

2024-07-28 20:43:59 +0000 UTCYes! Me too! I've voted for it but unfortunately it's still quite low on votes.

2024-07-27 07:20:13 +0000 UTCI hope it makes the cut this time!

2024-07-27 07:19:05 +0000 UTCThank you!

2024-07-27 07:14:26 +0000 UTCIt depends on length. I think Doug normally aims for roughly 45 minutes of music to give an hour's video in total but some have been longer.

2024-07-26 21:49:19 +0000 UTCHow many songs will there be in the reaction in total?

2024-07-26 17:38:22 +0000 UTCMeg here again 🙋🏻♀️🙂 No worries Dean! We’re here to help in any and all ways that we can 🙂❤️ And again, we’re so sorry for the miscommunication 🫂
R. Douglas Helvering
2024-07-26 17:18:15 +0000 UTCThank you for the clarification. I’m a newbie 😂
Dean
2024-07-26 16:01:01 +0000 UTCIt got in and I'm voting for it, but so far I fear it won't make the final cut.

2024-07-26 00:10:13 +0000 UTCI submitted Summer Nights, but the discord barely voted for it. oh well.

2024-07-25 23:49:01 +0000 UTCHi friends, this is Meg typing 🙂❤️ Thank you for clarifying this, @Arrow2theACL. Appreciate you doing that 🙏❤️ So it was not a song choice issue, it was just an issue of 1) not typing the command .suggest at the beginning of the submission, and 2) the rule that you can only make one Fan Favorites submission per month. Typing the command .suggest engages the recommendations bot that we use in the FF channel over on our Discord. When making a FF submission, the first thing you need to type is .suggest, and then type up the rest of your submission (song title, band/artist, YouTube or Spotify link, and why you’ve chosen that song). If you don’t start your submission by typing .suggest, your submission will not post correctly in the FF channel. No one will be able to vote for it. A correctly formatted Fan Favorites submission should look something like this: .suggest “Cruel Summer” by Bananarama, https://youtu.be/l9ml3nyww80?si=LGirrg4xmUO3kwXx. This song brings back so many fun memories of summers when I was a kid. Dean, I am very sorry for this miscommunication/misunderstanding, and that you were not able to submit your song choice. I hope you will try again for next month’s Fan Favorites. If you have any questions or need any assistance on submitting music recommendations on Discord, please do not hesitate to DM Chad (Arrow2theACL), me (Meg), or Doug. We’ll be happy to assist you 🙂❤️

2024-07-25 22:18:06 +0000 UTCDean, I did DM you on Discord because when you put in the Don Henley tune and the Stapleton's tune, you did not put in the correct format for the bot to pick up your submission to vote. In the FF vote thread there is a sticky post laying out the rules of the FF submission and a section on how to post your submission. It wasn't that your submission was ineligible. Any questionable FF submissions as far as the rules are brought to Doug's attention. The issue you had was the format so the bot can put the submission up for a vote on the discord server. Sorry for the miscommunication.

2024-07-25 19:55:06 +0000 UTCI'm glad Twisting By The Pool by Dire Straits got in...I wasn't sure it would make it! Some great tracks in there too....particularly Meat Loaf! :-)
Matt B
2024-07-25 18:58:15 +0000 UTCDid this actually happen? If so, I’m very sorry to hear this, Dean. It shouldn’t have happened. The rules for this month’s FF theme were loose enough to include songs that make you think of summer or that remind you of activities you’ve done during summer. So your submission should have been allowed.
R. Douglas Helvering
2024-07-25 18:53:24 +0000 UTCMost of these songs don't have summer in the title.
Fort-Man
2024-07-25 18:45:33 +0000 UTCIn that case it gets one of my votes🙂

2024-07-25 17:57:37 +0000 UTC😆
Ruth James
2024-07-25 17:56:37 +0000 UTCOk, apologies. I thought it made it through to the video
Ruth James
2024-07-25 17:54:58 +0000 UTCIt was in the Patreon poll but was a couple of votes shy of making the video.
Lashers
2024-07-25 16:56:16 +0000 UTCI almost picked that one, but went for this version as it had Joni Mitchell and Herbie Hancock (and I like it).
Chris Gadsby
2024-07-25 16:37:49 +0000 UTCMe too. Might need the lyrics in front of him though!
Chris Gadsby
2024-07-25 16:34:47 +0000 UTCI would love to see Doug's reaction to Peaches 😆
Ruth James
2024-07-25 14:15:55 +0000 UTCI thought you did Mungo Jerry's In the Summertime last summer?
Ruth James
2024-07-25 14:15:14 +0000 UTCThanks Karl! That’s mine
Pam Norris
2024-07-25 12:19:42 +0000 UTCAll choices are fantastic, but I feel "Paradise by the dashboard light" compiles it all. Summer in a nutshell hehehe
Salvador Montoro Goethe
2024-07-25 06:41:16 +0000 UTCI had suggested Sunset Grill by Don Henley but a mod struck it down because it didn’t have summer in the title 😭😂
Dean
2024-07-25 05:37:54 +0000 UTCThe only Gershwin cover that counts for me is Janis Joplin‘s version…
Bernie
2024-07-25 05:25:48 +0000 UTCI’m surprised that “Under the Boardwalk” isn’t performing better - it isn’t the Drifters’ original version, but it is a really lovely listen. Do check it out if you haven’t already!! https://youtu.be/QOvkHkQtdss?feature=shared

2024-07-25 02:11:10 +0000 UTCTwistin by the pool for me. That one really made me wish I could dance 💃 💕
The Nanny named Fran
2024-07-25 00:33:22 +0000 UTCOne Beach Boys, but not the best. My write-in submission is All Summer Long. Anybody remember American Graffiti? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tytTebj8ic
Greg in east TN
2024-07-25 00:07:24 +0000 UTCSome good choices here. For me in my teen years summer always meant Van Halen. Panama, Unchained, Summer Nights, etc.
Mark Rozanski
2024-07-24 23:59:50 +0000 UTCOh my gosh JUNE!!!
Gary Thobaben
2024-07-24 23:44:20 +0000 UTCJust missed the cutoff.
Fort-Man
2024-07-24 23:16:20 +0000 UTCWell, rats. No Jimmy Buffet.
Illume Eltanin
2024-07-24 22:51:33 +0000 UTCIt was nominated last year, but didn't get enough votes to be in the video.
Fort-Man
2024-07-24 22:32:38 +0000 UTCNo “Hot Fun in the Summertime”? A travesty!
Jeff Norman
2024-07-24 22:19:53 +0000 UTCFor me my vote has to go to Mungo Jerry. That song has been The song of summer ever since I was a kid! 👏🏻😁 “In the summer time when the weather was good …”
