Put On Your Big Boy/Girl Panties NSFW #BattleOfTheBands

This post is NOT for the faint of heart. If you are sensitive to offensive language or if you are easily offended, this post is NOT for you.  This post is considered NSFW*  (*NSFW = Not Suitable For Work)


Please DO NOT ATTEMPT to read or listen while you are at work (unless you work from home and don’t have to worry about co-workers or bosses looking over your shoulder & if you happen to be working from home - carry on - I promise not to tell)

PLEASE HEED THIS WARNING BEFORE PROCEEDING!

✔ Lock your children in another room - or better yet, send them over to the neighbors for a play date

✔ Put on your big girl/boy undies

✔ Shoo everyone out of the room

✔ Be sure your sense of humor is intact before continuing on!




Okay, are you all set now?




Let’s get this battle rolling so you will have plenty of time to listen and vote before the neighbors call child protective services and alert them to the fact you’ve locked your children in their room.

This post was suggested by ‘The Cute One’.  He was reading comments on a recent battle and this idea came to him. Because I am incorrigible, I am obliging him this one.


Today I’m not going to go into detail about the songs. I’m not even going to name the name of the songs - I’m only going to give you the name of the contender.  Most of you will be smart enough to figure out the names of the songs.


YES - these are TWO DIFFERENT songs today.


As a reminder for you seasoned readers and to help out those of you who may be new here (Welcome, BTW!) here is how a battle works:


Step one - Listen to each of the contenders. TRY not to be persuaded by the videos (unless specifically requested - in the case of today’s battle, listening is more important than watching)


Step two - Pick the contender that you prefer the most


Step three - Comment with your selection. (Yes, I know my blog can be pretty sometimes. Yes, I know you may not be familiar with the song(s) or artist(s). Don’t tell me about that. Instead, give me your opinion on which is the better contender.)  It’s not rocket science.  Most of you are bloggers, so putting together a minimum of two sentences (or 15 words) should not be that big of a task. (And if it *IS* a big task for you, perhaps blogging is not for you - just sayin’) 


Step four - Visit Stephen’s blog to check out his battle and for a list of other bloggers that have have battles going on. We each have different battles, so please be sure to visit everyone. I'll provide a link below the videos to Stephen's blog for your convenience.


Got it?

Alright! Let's get on with it then...



Contender #1 - Denis Leary




Contender #2 - Meredith Brooks





YOU DON’T NEED TO BE FAMILIAR WITH AN ARTIST OR A SONG TO KNOW WHICH ONE YOU PREFER.   


There are no right or wrong votes, unless you vote for someone not listed as a contender or don’t vote at all.



I’ll keep the voting open until Sunday, May 6 @ 3pm EST with results posted on May 7. 



I’d like to encourage you to visit the other bloggers participating in the battle of the bands as well. We’ve put a lot of time and effort into putting together these battles and they are a lot of fun. Each blogger has a different battle taking place. You can find a current list on Stephen’s blog (you can also request to join the battle of the bands blog hop on his blog). 


Now, go let your children out of their rooms!
