Maybe that's why Warner Brothers provided the actual YouTube clip Smile

As far as this poll, I will go with my first choice with the song "There's No Way Out" for my nominating song.

Dear Mike, I understand you well. 

These Interactive Polls have become increasingly challenging, considering proposed songs and alternative choices. Initially I have thought of a single song, with a maximum of 15 participants. But then there was enthusiasm, a desire to do, to propose, to listen, and to comment, and the commitment became increasingly burdensome. Myself some weeks like July and August and even the last three, I struggled to find the time to participate and listen to all the songs, not to mention the time to comment.
Since there are these polls I have sacrificed a lot of my participation in other sections of the forum and have less time for reviews.

 The talent scout work you do for the site is precious, you are a discoverer of new prog, and I understand that you cannot sacrifice it to do these polls which, by the way, are not about prog.

Anyway, when you want to come back, do it freely, when you have two weeks more free than usual, you could come back here and join a poll, a bit like taking a two week vacation, and then go back to doing prog (or doing both things together). We don't have to participate in every round of the Poll, we can come here when we want to get distracted, and then let it go for a while.
Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

^ I'll place the nominations in the options about 15-20 hours later. As soon as you see the nominations there, you can start voting. Wink

Meanwhile, anyone can STILL participate. You have more than half a day. Thumbs Up

And concluding (most likely) with The Anders:

The Anders:  Haydn’s “Symphony No. 94,” the 2nd movement.  I think most people know at least the basic melody to this, especially in this forum.  Does have little surprise dynamic changes within a mostly light and lilting melody.  It eventually repeats the lilting phrases more emphatically and adds swirling strings to the fore in a merry dance, and then back to the teasing lightness with woodwinds.  Strings continue down the lane and are met with another bout of more dramatic orchestration, ending with soft and sweet.  Covered by the Hoffnung Music Festival:  Here is the same piece of music, albeit with VERY big dramatic shifts, done in a comedic way.  They continue with this approach with very slippy-slidy strings when the occasion warrants it and very stern accentuated parts.  This is really fun, overall, reminds me of Warner Brother’s cartoons.  Certainly Haydn’s intent was to be comedic, as well, though of course,  we don’t have a live recording of his music with audience from his time.  Can’t help but wonder what he would have thought….was he funny, or would he be upset?

I confirm my nomination original and cover remain War Pigs as given my first post. Anything else is "bonus" material.

I want you to edit your original post and add your nominations as the first and second videos. Therion and Accept can stay under them. But not necessary for you, as I'll not forget this. Haha.

ok, I'll edit the post with my final nomination.

^ TCat, sorry for your decision, but all the best to you anyway. 

BTW, please put your nominations in your first post here, and put them as the 1st and 2nd videos. I'm requesting this from all of you. There has already been 5 pages here, and my job will be easier if all of you do that. Thanks.

If there is still time, here is another pair: The second movement of Haydn's symphony No. 94. First, the original version:


And here is the Hoffnung Music Festival take on the same movement.

And suitkees comes in, just under the wire:  

suitkees:  Nirvana “Smells Like Teen Spirit”  Very familiar with this tune, of course.  I love Tori Amos’ cover, can’t remember if I included that in the previous covers poll or not, just for fun.  Covered by Shaka Ponk:  Here is another pretty female vocal taking the song on, and ooooooh!  With strings!  Loving this.  For some reason, it is so much more ominous to me when a woman sings this song.  She’s joined in with the male vocal as well, next.  This is just so restrained and spooky.  In this version, the band kicks in full bore after the first couple of verses.  Kind of an amalgam of the acoustic way to do this song, along with the heavy grunge way it was done originally, with some classical overtones as well, provided by the strings and full chorus.  Definitely this one may be a contender for me.  Kim Wild “Kids in America”  Very 80’s tune, didn’t remember it at first, until the chorus.  Made for MTV.  Cover by Shaka Ponk:  This time staying basically true to the heavy synths and upbeat feel of the original, but it’s quite a bit heavier.  The kids were so much more optimistic in the early 80’s!  I like this a lot better, though.  😊
