It's that time again!

THE SHORT VERSION:

1: Everyone starts with four regular nominations that can be used on any kind of song & one extra nomination that may only be used on a character theme. Because I want to guarantee a few character themes get mixed in.

2: You get an extra five regular nominations every week! We'll say new nominations every Saturday starting on March 2nd. Use whatever timezone you want, so long as it's Saturday somewhere on Earth in the dimension this topic exists in.

https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone/utc14

I think that clock shows the latest timezone, if you want to use it.

3: Looking for 300 nominations in total. Nominations will remain open until we reach that point.

4: The preferred nomination format:

ARTIST NAME -OR- SOURCE MATERIAL | SONG NAME (Song Length)
song link here

Nominator: Name you wish to be known as. If you want to be notified when a song of yours is eliminated, feel free to do the @[your name here]

Character: If nominating a character theme -or- a song performed by a fictional character, list them here. Just delete this line or leave blank if it's not applicable.

You don't *have* to follow this format, but then I'll have to convert your nominations to the format myself and it'd be super cool if I could just copy things.

5: Please, only one song over ten minutes per nominator and no songs over 25 minutes. Exceptions may be made if you ask nicely; it's not a hard rule.

6: You can combine songs together as one song -if- you genuinely feel they need to be treated as one song, such as The Megas History Repeating Pts 1 & 2 which very much do not work as separate tracks. Use your own judgement on when that's appropriate.

7: There are no restrictions on multiple versions of the same song or doing a bunch of songs by the same artist. They're your nominations, do whatever you want with them.

8: You MAY nominate songs from past ranking topics. There are over a thousand and it's way too much effort to avoid all of them. That being said, you can find lists of past rankings at the following pages, should you want them for anything:

The first three rankings: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11EyHgbDCHNZd86SwetcXppwR9vEDi7W6owS9dbrmfb8/edit#gid=0

The fourth ranking: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19-mPuHHNtIKV8kQZ3BqtuqdTJueADuJE_Jn0LzgMf-w/edit?usp=sharing

-

The preceding information will now be repeated in longer, more annoying ways for no valid reason.

THE LONG VERSION:

And we're back! Been a while, hasn't it? The nominations for the last full ranking ended January 2022. And while there was a lengthy post ranking for extra songs, it's been over two years since anyone had a chance to nominate a song for a detailed ranking from me. And I really want to work on a large project of some kind... so here we go again, with me (hopefully) diving into a rather large number of songs selected by you, the Board 8 Universe. And anyone else I manage to drag here from other boards.

Alas, I am no longer able to do overwhelmingly massive ranking topics, so we're going back to basics with a more modest amount of 300 songs. This is still a LOT of songs, but it's an amount I feel comfortable with. Well, reasonably comfortable at least--I haven't quite been myself the past few months, which is part of why I want to throw myself into a project. Will I go back to what passes for normal? Will this ranking wind up drastically different due to the change in mental state? WHO KNOWS? We'll find out together. Expect lots of roleplaying as various characters and talking to myself as I work through emotions. Probably. Again, who knows what the write ups will actually look like? I certainly didn't plan on turning into the TaleSpin version of Shere Khan last topic, so we'll see if anything that novel happens this time!

Okay, since this topic is popping up rather suddenly and I want to give people a chance to notice it, we'll be starting with a rather modest number of nominations: 4 typical wildcard nominations that you can do anything with & 1 special nomination that should be used on the theme song of a specific character. Why? Because I want a few character themes. You may, of course, use your regular nominations on more character themes if you wish--that is neither encouraged nor discouraged.

...That being said, I want 300 songs and it'd take 60 people nominating a full set of songs to reach that goal and that's not likely to happen. So every Saturday, starting on March 2nd, everyone will gain an additional 5 standard nominations! Just use your own timezone or any timezone you want to determine when it's Saturday, I'm not the time police. Not yet, anyway.

-

As always, anything that could charitably be considered a song is fair game for nominations. Commercially released songs, covers, remixes, mashups, jingles, themes, VGMs, parodies, AI content, whatever. I ask that you limit yourself to only one long song, with long being defined as anything over ten minutes long. And nothing over twenty-five minutes. Honestly, if you *really* have your heart set on two long songs, we can talk about it--it's not exactly a hard limit, but at least ask first?

-

I'm probably going to be rather lenient when it comes to defining what a character theme is. Songs that are literally character themes are preferred, but I'd say any original song performed by a fictional character is fair game; so songs from The Chipmunk Adventure soundtrack would be fair game (original music created for the fictional characters to sing), but covers of hit songs wouldn't.

Yes, wrestlers count as characters, so wrestler themes work. Yes, I'll count vtubers as fictional enough so long as they're performing an original song. I'm really not interested in trying to police this category too strongly.

-

Combining songs into a single nomination slot is okay, just only do it when you legitimately believe it's the way the songs need to be heard? Like... don't exploit this to get extra songs in, but obviously there are some songs that seamlessly transition into each other that should be treated as one track. I'm leaving this entirely to your judgement.

-

The exact format of the ranking--as well as if there'll be any smaller sub-rankings--will be determined later. I will say all songs will get a minimum of three listens and be scored on a 100 point system:

100: I love these songs and want them to win.
90.00~99.99: I love these songs, though I don't see them getting first place.
80.00~89.99: I kinda love these songs!
70.00~79.999: I really like these songs!
60.00~69.99: I like these songs!
55.00~55.99: I kinda like these songs.
50.01~54.99: My feelings towards these songs are more positive than negative.
50.00: I feel nothing about these songs.
40.00~49.99: My feelings towards the song are more negative, but they're fine. These are fine songs.
30.00~39.99: I did not like these songs.
20.00~29.99: I quite actively disliked these songs.
10.00~19.99: I like finding songs that I hate, so I thank you for this.
0.01~09.99: I hate these songs strongly enough I'm considering not thanking you for the nomination.
00.00: I... don't think I give scores this low even as jokes anymore, so congratulations on completely breaking me if you pull this off.

Any song with the exact same score is considered to be tied, except at the 100 point category which is not tied unless otherwise stated. Raetsel Raetsel Incorporated reserves the right to have any number of songs tie at any position of the rankings,, including ties for first & last place. Let's say *certain aspects* of me still regret not doing the five way tie for first place last topic and I may very well do something like that this time. I also may not. I don't know what you'll nominate or how I'll react to it, I'm just keeping all options on the table.

And as always, the standard disclaimer:

"Try not to take any of the rankings too seriously. Expect lots of random text-based actions, tail wagging, alternate accounts, running gags, comedic exaggerations, and a lack of coherent or insightful write ups. I don't understand much about music and my thought processes tend to be alien; that being said, every song's placement does reflect how I genuinely feel about it. It's more "I do not suppress my true nature or adhere to any standards of quality" than an actual joke topic. Regardless of how harsh I may be to some songs, I do legitimately appreciate all the nominations.

Thank you to anyone who clicked this and double thank you to anyone who nominates anything."

Adam Young | Shackleton (3:09)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELiS3fCJWo8
Character: Ernest Shackleton
@ZaziGuado

Background: Adam Young (of Owl City fame) wanted to create albums that could serve as movie scores of historical events. One of the albums was for the Endurance, a ship commandeered by Sir Ernest Shackleton that ended up wrecking and sinking. This is the first song on the album and feels like it would be an introduction to the character and his goals if this were a movie.

Bluey | Keepy Uppy (3:04)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciI2SJcNDO8
@ZaziGuado

Background: Having a child introduced me to the wonders of Bluey. In addition to the stunning quality of the show, the music from it slaps so much harder than you would ever expect. Huge kudos to lead composer Joff Bush who has helped make Bluey the worldwide phenomenon that it is.

Beck | Blue Moon (4:01)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIWbgR4vYiw
@ZaziGuado

Background: A coworker reminded me of this song the other day and how much I enjoy it. It feels very introspective in a melancholy sort of way and I think you might be into that kind of thing for better or worse?

The Rentals | Please Let That Be You (3:33)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVOk76f8_gA
@ZaziGuado

Background: Seeing as a Rentals song finished top of the ranking last go around, I thought I'd give them a chance to defend their crown a bit. Before Elon Musk Is Making Me Sad came along, this was probably my favorite song by them, though I was biased because I was aware of the next song in this set of nominations.

Weezer | Mrs. Young (3:35)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIK3C8OnG7o
@ZaziGuado

Background: Please Let That Be You is a re-imagining of Mrs. Young, a song written before Weezer's first album came out in honor of their lawyer who looked out for them as they were coming up. It was never put on an album instead only surfacing as a b-side on a single or two. Since it was written by Matt Sharp, he took it with him when he left Weezer and formed The Rentals and put it on their first album in a new form. I wouldn't normally consider a (very good) demo for a topic like this, but I thought it'd be fun to see a little competition between the two as they deliver the same melody in different ways.

I forgot to mention that, as always, any song link that will play on my phone is valid. So you can use YouTube, but also Spotify, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, or whatever. I'm really not picky when it comes to links.

Second edit: Didn't read the rules because I suck. I'll think of a character theme later

Don't be hard on yourself, it's a really weird request for me to have made & I probably wouldn't have said anything--I'd have to listen to all the songs to confirm that none of them were a character theme that just wasn't labeled... and by that point it'd be less work to just rank them. Also, azuarc was nice enough to nominate extra character themes, so I could make an argument that one of his picks would functionally fill the slot of someone who skipped the character requirement.

That being said, it was very nice of you to notice & fix things yourself, so thank you!

Oh right, I have a question. I tend to nominate a lot of musical theater songs, sung by characters. But they're not always necessarily about the character that sung it (i.e. their character theme). Would you like me to label those as well?

Also, would you prefer the songs and artists in uppercase?

4th nom here is entirely because there was a hurdy gurdy discussion in the #vgmusic channel a few days ago

guess I'm the first one to take advantage of the "vtubers count as characters" clause (the other one I would've nominated I already used for Mega_Mana's topic

I was going to label everything, but I'm not sure there's a reason to; I thought I'd be likely to talk about each character at least briefly, but I'm getting the feeling my focus on music makes that both unlikely & impractical. So... probably not, I suppose? Unless you want to. You certainly can label such songs with the subject's name or any of the performers', but I don't think the data will likely be used for anything. So as long as one nomination is marked to fill the slot requirement it's fine either way.

And... well in retrospect, standard capitalization probably makes more sense. The intent was CAPS LOCK because I thought that would look better when posting song eliminations... but the spreadsheet would be unreadable in all caps & it's actually really nice being able to just copy/paste info directly to the sheet instead of having to retype everything. So asking for all caps was not the wisest decision... so, let's just say it's fine either way? Normal formatting would be easier--especially with longer titles--but I did ask for all caps, so I certainly won't complain about people following directions. Or to put it another way: "...Yes, but it'd be easier on us both if you saved me from my idiocy by not doing so. <./<"

This is probably a dumb question and just me being obtuse, but does a character theme need to be explicitly identified as a theme specifically for that character to qualify? Or is it okay if it's just, like, very obviously implied?

I'm thinking of things like Mega Man Robot Master stage themes or songs from Cuphead fights, for example. Songs that only show up in one specific context and nowhere else but aren't always labeled as "Theme of Cala Maria" or whatever.

Implications are fine. I really have no interest in arguing over what is or isn't a theme, so there aren't any traps. If it's performed by a character, about a character, or represents a character in some way then it's fine. Also, I approved the Too Cool theme, so teams/groups/organizations also work?

As long as there's some connection, no matter how tenuous, to a character than we're cool.

(The video has this labeled as "Big Match version," which isn't entirely accurate as he used this version as just his regular theme for a short while, but if you want to specifically call it that for your purposes, it's close enough too. Also not 100% positive on the composer, because as far as I know it's never been confirmed anywhere, but I doubt anybody really cares that much.)
