[quote="So Uncivilized";p="97664"]Thanks for the melee mania. We all had fun. I appreciate you letting Lil' SU have a moment in the sun. He was very excited to participate

We enjoyed having y'all at the MeleeMania.

...if I recall correctly, you get to select your first round opponent.[/quote]
I don't remember that as part of the prize, but it's not a bad idea. I think for that, you would have to name ALL songs and artists correctly.

Is there any way to hear the Name That Pyro Tune clips? Or did you have to be there?

Had to be there, unfortunately. They were mixed in with the regular theme songs, so you had to figure out which ones were Pyro songs before you could even identify them. There have been some very creative, "six degrees of separation" type answers.
The Golden Ticket includes the following:
- 2,500 forum points
- Guaranteed slot in one MeleeMania (you choose the month)
- Your choice of first round opponent
- The Golden Ticket may be gifted/traded/sold to another player if you want

Congratulations to Buzzy Beetle for winning the Golden Ticket with six correct songs!
The Pyro-themed songs were:
Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire
The Prodigy - Firestarter
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give it Away
Franz Ferdinand - This Fire
Jimi Hendrix - Fire
Arcade Fire - Wake Up
Donna Summer - Hot Stuff
Nobody got the Arcade Fire song. Shame on you Canadians. You can blame Kilaak Kommander for that song, by the way. It was his idea.
The most creative answers tried to link the Blue Oyster Cult song to the many fire-themed Blue Oyster Cult songs - "Burning For You", "Cities on Flame With Rock and Roll", "Flaming Telepaths", etc.

I seriously don't remember any Arcade Fire... serves me right for not buying their albums. They're a great band! I really don't recall this one though... who had it?
Oh and um...

I never thought my life could be
Anything but catastrophe
But suddenly I begin to see
A bit of good luck for me
'Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden twinkle in my eye
I never had a chance to shine
Never a happy song to sing
But suddenly half the world is mine
What an amazing thing
'Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden sun up in the sky
I never thought I'd see the day
When I would face the world and say
Good morning, look at the sun
I never thought that I would be
Slap in the lap of luxury
'Cause I'd have said:
It couldn't be done
But it can be done
I never dreamed that I would climb
Over the moon in ecstasy
But nevertheless, it's there that I'm
Shortly about to be
'Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden chance to make my way
And with a golden ticket, it's a golden day
Good morning, look at the sun!
'Cause I'd have said,
It couldn't be done
But it can be done
I never dreamed that I would climb
Over the moon in ecstasy
But nevertheless, it's there that I'm
Shortly about to be
'Cause I've got a golden ticket
'Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden chance to make my way
And with a golden ticket, it's a golden day
I thought it was fitting ^^;;
Thanks for running the contest and such, <TVB> folks, and Melee Mania in general

This hu-man is clearly of higher intelligence. When the Kilaaks conquer Earth, you will be invited to the crystal audio deployment chamber to enjoy an ARKAYD FYR performance and dine on figs and radium. Then you will join the other hu-mans in the meatdomes to be dehydrated and packaged for consumption.
