theDuke | 6506 comments Forthcoming Themes:

Theme 289 - Take flight. Anything relating to the word, eg flight. flown, fly, flew, soar, glide etc. but not the mode of flight nor things that fly. - Sera69
heme 290 - Sense-ational - song titles containing the words see, hear, smell, taste or touch - Helen
Theme 291 - High dynamism - a song which features a moment which particularly stands out. It could be just be an instrumental 'sting' or phrase, a dramatic pause followed by an explosive continuation, or a sudden change of direction - an audio 'handbrake turn' if you will. An example of a dynamic moment is the drum fill from Phil Collins' In The Air Tonight - Fishy Jim
Theme 292 - You Make Me Feel Like Dancing - Song titles containing one of the following words: dance(s), dancing or dancer(s) - Val
Theme 293 - It's all Greek to me - song titles featuring a named world language (not fictional.extraterrestrial eg Klingon and not sung IN a foreign language) - Brass Neck
Theme 294 - There's a place - song titles with a well-known landmark included (either a natural site or man-made). Famous thoroughfares are fine, but not some generic street/road, and entire cities etc are also out. - Tim
Theme 295 - Contain yourself - Song titles that reflect a storage container, i.e. lunchbox, coffin, toolbox. - TheFoe
Theme 296 - Wildcard Round 12
Theme 297 - Theme 296 - Top Of The Pops (Resurrection Special) - your favourite TOTP appearance - must MUST be accompanied with a clip from TOTP (any sight or sound of the beast, s******, will result in disqualification.) - Tech

I nominated the theme so I ccould put that song up.

There are hundreds, well OK, tens of possibilities (you only have to nick one significant word of the name and there must be a few songs with Nazi in the title and anything with Green in it fits the bill);

Everything I've wanted to nom just doesn't exist on YouTube or Bandcamp so I'm left with this. Here in Victoria we did have the Australian Sex Party but they merged with the Australian Cyclists Party to form the Reason Party.

Tim Franklin | 10981 comments The Black & Tans was a nickname (derived from the mixture of police and army uniforms they wore) given to recruits, mostly former British soldiers, hastily drafted into the Irish constabulary in the period following the end of world war 1 and the creation of the Irish Free State. Do they count as a 'political organisation'?

Googling the album title brought up this result - https://www.discogs.com/Various-Ελλάς...

The song here is track 16, performed by Fotis Dimas (Φώτης Δήμας)

On post 10, for your original nomination, the link for The Wolfe Tones is still showing. You could just delete that post if you like. I only mention it cos i'll probably forget to not add it to the playlist come Wednesday.

theDuke | 6506 comments Greetings folks.

Polling has closed and the votes counted. As the adjudicated official for this election, i therefor declare the winning candidates as thus:

Taking her place as MP for the Conservative Party (whether she wants to or not!) is Jemma. Her classic nomination of Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival, won by a majority of 2 votes, scoring 21 points. Congratulations Jemma..... nice choice. Now....see what you can do to usurp that blonde mop headed waffling numpty in number 10, could you please..and maybe you could become the next PM, who knows? :)

Following close behind Jemma..with 19 points, with Respect Yourself by The Staple Singers, KJS take his place with the opposition & finally Tim regretfully will have to join the Liberal Democrats (what there is of them!), as he isn't Scottish (as far as I'm aware, so SNP is out for you)....but you get to claim the 3rd placing with your nom Ye Jacobites by Eddi Reader, which scored 15 points.

Alas, after some while, I have good cause to go into the back room, get that dusty box off the shelf, give it a good blow off (not like that.....ya mucky minds....), and declare that whilst the song itself was an interesting choice, i suspect the ear splitting version of it put us all off. Thus Anthem Of The Greek Junta by Fotis Dima was loved by none.

Thus Lez....here's your spoon!

And that brings this week's election to a close.
