Keeping this going a bit, and I'm not sure the answer here - signature song...Kelly Clarkson. -- nm - MDH Mar 8, 09:05 3

- It isn’t Love So Soft, but that’s my favorite song of hers. I Dare You is also really really effing good. -- nm - Qale Mar 8, 09:07

    - You mean the star of Cocaine Bear! -- nm - TWuG Mar 8, 09:08
    - At the very beginning, absolutely. And by "that one comedian", you mean "that cocaine bear star" -- nm* - Beryllium Mar 8, 09:07
  - Not at all. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 8, 09:01
  - I suppose this is the "voice" that was mentioned yesterday... -- nm - Beryllium Mar 8, 08:57

Signature song - Elton John? -- nm - rollo Mar 8, 07:57 32
- As an aside, of all of his weird remakes Sad by Elton John vs Pnau is my favorite. And Young Dumb and Broke with Khalid is the worst. -- nm - Qale Mar 8, 09:06
- I'm actually surprised there is no Lion King mentioned here. -- nm - MDH Mar 8, 09:01

- I'm with Brick Road or Tiny Dancer. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 8, 08:28 6
  - Spotify plays say its Rocket Man. I'd also accept that. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 8, 08:29 5

- Goodbye Yellow Brick Road or Saturday Night's Alright -- nm* - Spawn Mar 8, 08:11 10
  - What in the world. -- nm - MDH Mar 8, 08:20 9
    - ? .. (odd response) -- nm - mud Mar 8, 08:51 1
      - In no world would those be in consideration for top couple signature songs of his. -- nm - MDH Mar 8, 08:58
    - Those of us that have been around longer actually know him by his classic stuff, not stuff like Candle in the Wind. -- nm - Spawn Mar 8, 08:22 6
      - Yeah. I would consider either of these two as potential signature songs. Tiny Dancer wins, though. -- nm* - Dark Callisto Mar 8, 09:05
      - Now if you asked me my favorites it's Island Girl Still Standing and his version of Pinball Wizard -- nm - eag Mar 8, 08:41
      - Yeah, but I would put Crocodile Rock ahead of the two you mentioned -- nm - crash davis Mar 8, 08:28 3
        
        that's barely played anymore. It's either Goodbye or Tiny Dancer -- nm - Remlik Mar 8, 08:30 1
        
        I'm playing it right now! - crash davis Mar 8, 08:33
        
        I would accept that, as it is my third choice. -- nm - Spawn Mar 8, 08:29
- Candle in the Wind -- nm - MDH Mar 8, 08:11
- Your Song -- nm - mud Mar 8, 08:10
- Rocketman and the 3 songs below are probably the contenders -- nm - rollo Mar 8, 08:08
- Philadelphia freedom or Rocketman -- nm - eag Mar 8, 08:08
- I am not fond of it, but Benny and the Jets might pop the list. -- nm - Qale Mar 8, 08:06
- Candle In The Wind -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 8, 07:58
- Tiny Dancer -- nm - ty97 Mar 8, 07:57 1
  - (obviously Candle in the Wind is the other contender, but there's two versions of that which feels a little cheaty) -- nm - ty97 Mar 8, 07:59
Sometimes you can just feel the replies coming. Good luck on this one, Cleveland Browns. -- (link) - Volnelk Mar 8, 07:47 2

    - I know that and you know that, but does he know that? -- nm - Epiphany Mar 8, 08:17 2
      - Sure. He let Bill O’Reilly walk. He knows he can build a new outrage machine. Tucker and Hannity are replaceable. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 8, 08:45 1
        
        i wouldn't say he "let" him walk. he had to pay Bill $65M to settle all the rapey claims by all the female employees -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 8, 08:56
  - do Fox watchers care though? -- nm - Andie Mar 8, 07:19 9
    - I've always wondered what % of FOX News watchers are liberals hate-watching it just to be perpetually mad. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 8, 08:30 3
      - thats the youtube audience. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 8, 09:07
      - Close to zero. People hate-watch the choicest clips, it's people who buy into the Fox News narrative who are sustained watchers. - Roger More Mar 8, 08:50
      - 0? -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 8, 08:33
    - "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command" - hollywood big shot Mar 8, 07:58 1

    - No. But it is a good argument starting point for me. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 8, 07:20 2
      - my maga friends have been dead silent for almost a week now. They know. - Jovian Mar 8, 07:34 1

        hee!! -- nm - Epiphany Mar 8, 07:17
- We Found Love (is what it should be, but I think the crowd says Umbrella) -- nm - MDH Mar 8, 06:53 5
  - That is her biggest hit, but when most people think of her they think of Umbrella. - the wrong element Mar 8, 07:43
  - We Found Love is definitely good. Umbrella just spring to mind as the answer to the question. -- nm - ty97 Mar 8, 06:54 3
    - I hear you. I think Umbrella will be the resounding answer. It's got the cultural impact more likely. -- nm - MDH Mar 8, 06:55 2

Bakhmut: Russia has suffered 30,000+ casualties and still hasn't taken the city. Though they've basically razed it. - TWuG Mar 8, 06:45 2
- I suspect the strategic significance of the city has waned and Ukraine is now happy to just let it turn into a Russian meatgrinder. -- nm - Mop Mar 8, 07:02 1
  - They’ve been open about this. It has no real strategic value other than that. -- nm - spamlet Mar 8, 07:04

- It's not going to change that guy's mind or people of a similar mindset. Where it can have benefits is on right leaning centrists, suburban women, - pmb Mar 8, 08:12
- Is anything more expected, or disheartening, as dems attacking dems? -- nm - Qale Mar 8, 07:49
- Still, I prefer Stewart doing anything substantive over just making fun of how Mitch McConnell looks. -- nm - mara Mar 8, 07:32

  - right, no one-thing is going to change anything, many many little things might move the needle. -- nm - Andie Mar 8, 06:45
  - That's where I'm at. It doesn't have to be direct effect. In can be indirect. Maybe people get inspired and run for office, for example. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 8, 06:33
