I will take it, all the ones I wanted to use originally were already banned so this is a good position for Plan D

Had to dig deep for that round. Folk music isn't something I listen to a lot but it has it's moments. Also an alternate version of that song was used a lot in the Sharpe TV series with Sean Bean.

And now, the apropos RD12: THE HORROR.... THE HORROR... MOVIES....
This one is simple: the song can have a horror theme in either lyrics or genre or feel.

Can we use songs from an actual horror movie's score or soundtrack? Provided the song is horror in nature and not just a popular song that happened to be used, of course.

Here's the playlist for Round 11: m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLspyXfqgDdyPF7J5S5v2V6Jflh9cDe_SWMy rankings: {Spoiler}{Spoiler} My Team:
1st.+5 Over The Hills And Far Away" by Jon Tams
2nd. +2 pts "Battle Of New Orleans" by Johnny Horton
3rd. "Waiting For The Worms" by Pink Floyd
4th. "The American Presidents In Song" by White House Historical Association
Other Songs
8 pts "Countdown" by Rush
7 pts "Cities In Dust" by Siouxsie And The Banshees
6 pts "Beds Are Burning" by Midnight Oil
5 pts "My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)" by Neil Young and Crazy Horse
4 pts "St. Stephen's Cross" by Vienna Teng
3 pts "I Don't Like Mondays" by The Boomtown Rats
2 pts "Headlight" by Monkey Majik
1 pt "Electric Avenue" by Eddy Grant
Big fan of this round, as its theme let's players come up with a whole range of songs. So many potential songs were on the table and a certain degree of ingenuity was required. Part of my rankings simply fell to personal preferences, as I love Rush and Siouxsie and the Banshees, but their complexity stood out for me. I also loved Midnight Oil here, which was likely the the most unexpected song for the round and a real gem.

Ah, man, was expecting my score for this round to be how it is. But I couldn't resist. After all, the round was around the time for Halloween, and I couldn't resist. Oh well.
