Microvision
Microvision, the micronational world's most popular contest game show competition thingumbob, will be held at the MCS starting April 23. I don't think Shireroth has ever put an entry in before, but it's time we started.
The rules are simple. Every country picks a song, usually one available on YouTube. Then they vote. Whichever country's song people like the most wins. The song doesn't have to be original; usually countries pick some popular song by a famous band. The winner last time was Jai Ho from Slumdog Millionaire, selected by Antica.
So we can do one of two things. We can all just discuss our favorite songs here and the Kaiser can choose his favorite...
...or we can hold a ShireVision contest in which each County can propose their favorite song and we vote for which one becomes Shireroth's entry.
Note: The MicroVision head honchoes are still trying to decide whether there will be a specific theme required, so we should wait a day or two before proposing. But let's not wait too long!

Re: Microvision
Countries pick a song sung by someone else and people vote on which they like best?
Am I missing something, or is that quite possibly the lamest contest idea in the world?

Re: Microvision
If a country writes and records something themselves, they get a bonus 2 points... *shrug*

Re: Microvision
You'd think so, but it's been going on at the MCS for like three years now and is phenomenally popular. I think it's because they all watch Eurovision, or something.Countries pick a song sung by someone else and people vote on which they like best?

Re: Microvision
I've been meaning to put music to these lyrics Bayen wrote...
Dangerous Friar
On the streets of the city
I walk down every day
The people around me
Are looking my way
I'm preaching and teaching
To any street punk
But don't let it fool you
'Cuz I'm no monk
[Chorus]
I'm a friar! (Friar!)
Dangerous Friar
I'm a friar! (Friar!)
Virtue for hire
My sermons are golden
Worth ten bucks a pop
Of course, they're donations
But they'd better not stop
They're all out to get me
They think I'm a scam
They never believe when
I say what I am
[Chorus]
The Catholics, the Mormons,
They think they know best,
The Methodists also,
And all of the rest
It's a war; it's a battle
I'm not gonna lose
It's church versus wanderer
And it's me that they'll choose
[Chorus]

"Camelot", from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. That is the epitome of Shireroth.
