The Power Hour Challenge

The Power Hour

Similar to the Century/Centurion. 60 minutes with 60 swigs of beer. The all-important element of the power hour is the power hour album. 60 songs, in one minute excerpts. Every time the song switches, you take a swig. The challenge in putting together a good power hour album is to have fuckin' awesome songs, with some top-40s shit thrown in the middle at inappropriate places so that people burst out laughing in the middle of swigging their beer, causing beer to shoot out their nose.

Truly, the music nerds drinking game.


EDIT: I have been known to cross state lines for a good power hour. It is the ultimate drinking game for me since it involves (1) copious amounts of booze; (2) the opportunity to take in some really varied music in various states of inebriation; and (3) no manual dexterity.


Working within the above parameters, design a power hour songlist.  It is cool, but not essential, that you specify which minute of your song will be included on the power hour.

See, I've been thinking about this ever since you posted it in the Centurion thread...

I'm going to start composing my playlist. It'll probably take a few days...

I've been meaning to actually make one for ages.  This will be a good opportunity for ideas.  Especially from the metalheads.

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

Thanks. I am a huge show tunes whore...

On that note, I was really happy that I happened to have a song called "The Rock" to put after Sean Connery's cover of "In my Life."

Edit: Kai... Cat Stevens next to Peaches? You rock so hard! Hah.

What i'd try and do is get everyoen to name/gather (naming would be easier for them) a small set, and have them make one of them a joke song (Mr Blobby anyone?).

Oh hells yes



Also, that Cat Stevens tune? I'm Gonna Get Me a Gun? The happiest song about buying a gun and shooting every single person you've ever met in the face multiple times ever.
