I had to vote for Iceland.  I'm listening to it now and memories come flooding back from a certain time in my life.  Nothing to newsworthy.  Just always brings a smile to my face.

Wait...you voted for Iceland but you like it?

You do know that counts as a negative vote for it, right?

It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset." -- Crowfoot

I like ozma

when you think of a non album song from ozma, iceland is what comes to mind. at least for me. that is why iceland wins.

But it IS on an album.  Which is how it manages to be in the survivor for that particular album.

Well, it seems Lorraine has just about won it. I'm not surprised. Just as I wasn't surprised when it was the song the fans chose in the Digevent thing, and that was a long long time ago. It's a good pop song that everyone can enjoy.

Come on now.  Iceland.  Mykel and Carli?  Yeah?  Come on now.

WhoYouCallinWeez

what does Iceland have to do with Mykel and Carli?

Lorraine is easily my fav "non album track" [yes this is an album, but u can't go to the store and buy it] because Back to the Future is my favorite film, i think the song is a fun fun pop song from the perspective of George McFly, just very very clever. Thats one of the things i love about them, they'll slip in a reference to the Trilogy occasionally.

Huh?  It's not the only limited release, out of print album ever (hell, we even had a reference to the Mykel and Carli tribute in this thread).  And it's pretty widely available online, for those non-purists out there.

Though I do agree that Lorraine is a terrific song, and I would love to see Ozma break it out sometime.

um, yes i know this. I know some don't consider ISoTaC an album, so i clarified what i was saying about it being a "non-album" track.

a bit of both
the emotion comming fom the artists seems fake to me. for example in lorraine, i don't feel like i can connect with daniel singing the song because he has no feelings towards lorraine, marty mcfly does, and marty mcfly isn't singing the song so i can't connect with him either.
a reference to natalie portman in said song is different because the emotion is comming from the artist, dan actually had a crush on natalie at one point but couldnt do anything about it. its also something everyone can relate to, having feelings for someone you know is unattainable.

Quotehe has no feelings towards lorraine, marty mcfly does
Lorraine likes Marty, not vice versa. The song is about George singing to Lorraine

valid points Malcolm, i agree mostly. But i just love that the artist enjoys something that i have a passion for to, Back to the Future, and i connect with the Daniel through that. It's great to hear someone sing about something i feel so strongly about, when i didn't think many people did. The same reason i enjoy hearing someone sing about the unattainable.

FireAarro

I don't really agree with malcolm, in Lorraine I guess Dan probably used the BTTF characters as an outlet/metaphor thingy for his own feelings, if you know what I mean.
Unterreiner is tall and surprisingly thin, given that the floor of his closet is stacked high with junk food. Boxes and bags of Doritos, Twinkies and Ho-Hos spill out onto the floor. He has towels around his window to keep out the cold air at night. "I hate this old house," he said bitterly, then changed the name of an unfinished track to "Cold Day."

malcolm

yes he did, but those are metaphors i just can't connect with
