Sorry...The U.S. jury got a little carried away there. After two consecutive years of representing the United States, fun. have decided to take a break. With fun. out of contention, the U.S. jury worked tirelessly year-round to select a new artist to represent us this year. We listened to songs that represented all the genres, regions, and people of the United States. The song we choose won strong praise from all members of the United Staes jury. So, without further ado, it is my pleasure to present this year’s entry into the Totallympics Open International Song Contest representing the United States... His Master’s Voice - Monsters of Folk Lyrics Mohammed rolling dice with Christ at twilight And they hear their master's voice, they run to do their chores At master's calling. Their job tonight, re-write the bible For a whole new generation of non-believers. The pastor screams out to the crowd 'There's evil that must be put down!' And it touches the soldier boy he heeds his master's voice His life is calling. Sweet soldier boy, the speaker is bleeding He hears his master's voice do you hear your master's voice? Calling like the lady siren's call. Sweet soldier quiet- just staring at the ceiling And he hears his master's voice he hears the call to war The siren's singing. Out on the line- there's something that strikes his side And he sees his inner child he hears his mother's voice Softly calling. Spirit soldiers mother hovers she holds up a paper cup And the sound of life and love fills her ear. You're only gonna hear what you want to hear Do you hear your master's voice now? Mohammed and Christ speak twice as nice But the one that I like best he sings inside my chest I hear my master's voice now Calling out, calling out, calling out, calling out.

Vektor 3,326 Posted September 29, 2020 #133 Share Posted September 29, 2020 It's funny how they block an official upload, but it's okay to watch the illegal upload of the famous Three Billboards scene that has this song. Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werloc 3,164 Posted September 29, 2020 #134 Share Posted September 29, 2020 At first sight, I thought people were getting so impatient, that they started posting songs before we were even given a green light to post our entries Regarding the other topic, I will never fucking understand why MUSIC that is targeted towards the consumption of PEOPLE tends to get blocked, making it UNAVAILABLE to so many potential listeners that could find your song. I've had this producer that didn't let me upload my song on Youtube, because Youtube pays little money to the songwriters. Well, it got buried in Spotify instead and guess what, it was taken down since it was not profitable to keep it up on Spotify either. I wonder how many artists are actually screwed by labels, producers and song-writers that get their songs banned outside of the country... I can say for myself that I would be extremely pissed if a guy in Guatemala couldn't listen to my music if he ever wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,210 Posted September 29, 2020 #135 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Well, time to set a new TISC record... Released in 1958, Gabi Novak's Sretan put easily becomes the oldest song ever entered for TISC. Previous record was shared by Girl from Ipanema (2013 Open) and She's a Mod (2019 Open) - both released in 1964. Sretan put (eng. Bon Voyage) is performed by Gabi Novak. Her son Matija Dedić incidentally represented Croatia at the home edition earlier this year, so we felt it would be fitting to give his mother a chance this time around. Sretan put was initially released as part of the film H-8, which is widely considered to be the masterpiece of Croatian cinema. Directed by Nikola Tanhofer, the movie is based on a true story about a bus-truck collision which occured in 1957, and whose culprit (a car driver) was never identified. "H-8" is the beginning of that driver's license plate, the only available information on the culprit's vehicle. Croatia Gabi Novak - Sretan put ("Bon Voyage") Lyrics (in English) Spoiler Bon Voyage When we say goodbye, holding hands And when tears leave their bitter taste It's at those moments when we part That we know how much we mean to each other Bon, bon voyage, I wish you with this song It will follow you in spirit, anywhere you may go Until my joys return with you Together with happines to our home Take a posy of lilacs Take my best wishes too Keep a place for me in your heart And now, I wish you bon voyage ... Keep a place for me in your heart And now, I wish you bon voyage And in case you are interested, here is the complete H-8. Not of the highest quality, but the best I could find... It has English subtitles though! Spoiler heywoodu 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobi 981 Posted October 1, 2020 #138 Share Posted October 1, 2020 SPANISH ENTRY La Casa Azul (The Blue House) has been selected to represent Spain in the Totallympics Open International Song Contest 2020. La Casa Azul is an indie pop and electronic music band created by Guille Milkyway in 1997 which virtually consists of five members (David, Virginia, Oscar, Clara and Sergio). However, Guile Milkyway is in fact the sole performer on the records and uses the band "members" (who do not give interviews and whose last names have never been disclosed) in order to project an image. The song selected is called "La Revolución Sexual" (The Sexual Revolution). It is the most popular song of the band and finished in third place at the 2008 Eurovision National Final. I hope you enjoy it! La Casa Azul - La Revolución Sexual Letra (Español): Spoiler Dímelo ya, necesitas descansar, ahora dímelo ya, esperar está de más, porque va a suceder, el verano del amor, sé que va a suceder, la revolución sexual. Y hace días que sabes que no, que a veces no hay que tener la razón. Well, are you ready to go? Tú que decidiste que tu vida no valía, que te inclinaste por sentirte siempre mal, que anticipabas un futuro catastrófico, hoy pronosticas la revolución sexual. Tú que decidiste que tu amor ya no servía, que preferiste maquillar tu identidad, hoy te preparas para el golpe más fantástico porque hoy empieza la revolución sexual. Déjalo ya, no pretendas despistar, ahora déjalo ya, ¿a quien quieres engañar?, porque va a suceder, el verano del amor, sé que va a suceder, la revolución sexual. Y hace días que sabes que no, que a veces no hay que tener el control. Well, are you ready to go? Tú que decidiste que tu vida no valía, que te inclinaste por sentirte siempre mal, que anticipabas un futuro catastrófico, hoy pronosticas la revolución sexual. Lyrics (English): Spoiler Tell me, you have to rest now Tell me, the waiting is over, because It's going to happen, the summer of love, I know it will happen, the sexual revolution. And for days you know that Sometimes you don't have to be right. Well, are you ready to go? You, the one who decided that your life isn't worthwhile The one who always made yourself feel bad, The one who has anticipated a catastrophic future, Today you're predicting the sexual revolution. You, the one who decided that your love was no good, The one who preferred to disguise your identity, Today you're getting ready for the most terrific strike Because today the sexual revolution starts. Let it be, don't try to mislead it now Stop it, to whom are you trying to fool?, because It's going to happen, the summer of love, I know that It will happen, the sexual revolution. And for days you know that Sometimes you have no control. Well, are you ready to go? You, the one who decided that your life isn't worthwhile The one who always made yourself feel bad, The one who has anticipated a catastrophic future, Today you're predicting the sexual revolution.
