I still haven't found what I'm looking for, but I guess that goes for you too. If you get my reference then maybe you thought that was a funny joke. No charge. I'm giving this one to you pro bono...

Where's That Tune?
I never did find the song I was looking for in my previous Battle, but I ended up using versions of "Misirlou" which is now most oft-remembered as the Dick Dale tune used in the film Pulp Fiction. Since I was initially drawn in by the artist I remembered from childhood, Korla Pandit went into the contest as my favorite. But then when I heard Olga's version I was blown away a bit. When the flute kicked in I was thinking "shades of Jethro Tull" but, no, that's not Ian Anderson blowing that flute. But I find everything about Olga's version to be very satisfactory.
Still, I keep going back to that mysterious sounding version by Korla Pandit and he gets my vote.
Final Vote Tally
Korla Pandit 4 votes

Next Battle on March 15th
Sure why not.
I think it was the song from Pulp Fiction I remember. Thanks for reporting how things went down. You had a tight battle. My results will publish on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteWas that a U2 reference that I caught at the beginning? Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

ReplyDeleteI tried to leave a comment here, from my old computer, a couple of days ago when my laptop died on me, but I see it didn't come through. (Fortunately, the laptop is functional again.)
I'm genuinely surprised that Korla didn't win this contest. But then again, more often than not, I seem to find my votes aligned with the losers. (I suppose I have my own drummer in the attic.)

STMcC, I tend to vote on the losing side as well much of the time. Fortunately not all of the time.
DeleteI didn't have any inkling of who might win. I fluctuated on the vote myself and then had to go with Korla. Such memories.
