My least favorite among these gems is between Betsy and Safari... Ballad of Ole' Betsy. It's wonderful but it's not as iconic as Safari.

This is COOL...and it is immediately clear that this will be very difficult :'(

Ballad of Betsy.

‍

Li'l St Nick

that most undeserving winner Ballad of ole' Betsey

Ballad of Ole' Betsy.

It's a song that has never really impressed me, especially with the less polished sound of the debut.

It's like choosing which of your gold nuggets you'd throw back into the river.... I'm out.

Round#1 - Little Deuce Coup: Ballad of Ole’ Betsy June 4

Lots of great tunes. Someone earlier stated they were out because voting was like choosing which gold nugget to throw back in the ocean.

My golden nugget being tossed this round is Surfin' Safari. Great song. But in the end the production is thin and the song gets kind of annoyingly repetitive.

Surfin' Safari

I Do

I Do

Surfin' Safari again

Well, bye.

 I have the stomach for this, at least at this juncture.

 I Dew.

Little Saint Nick

Little Saint Nick

Especially if we're voting off the single version. I've always preferred the stripped-back album version - less busy.

I Do.

Surfin USA.

as much as I love it, especially Brian's wail at the end, it's really just a Chuck Berry retread.

and i'm cool with that.

Little St Nick - it's a Christmas classic, but the weakest track remaining.

Tally comin' up.  :3d

pixletwin,  I see I failed to vote in that last round.  Not because I didn't know where to find the poll tho'.  I've just been really busy the last couple of weeks on a pick-up job, making a few bucks painting a house, and working on bringing some order to my storage room.  Long days= not as much time to hang out here.  Almost missed this one, so let me vote right quick.  I have the day off.

It's historical significance is unquestionable.

In My Room

Surfin' U.S.A., easily.

In My Room.

Please Let Me Wonder

Surfin' USA.  I actually find this survivor group one of the easier ones to do so far, but it'll likely change after this song is out.

Surfin' USA  ::)

Surfin' USA

Surfin' USA

Surfin' U.S.A. I suppose.

Surfin’ USA

That Room song.

I Get Around

Looks like we are mostly coming into focus on what the top three will be.  So doesn't matter the order the next two go.  But, since I always loved "Surfin' USA" live My vote goes to:

USA

Surfin' U.S.A, sadly.

Surfin' USA

Dam Sam! TOO many votes for the anthem of my Generation (I Get Around)

again voting off InMyRooom hoping more likeminded old guys follow suit.

In My Room

I've had to refrain from voting on most of the past rounds in this and the other polls because I can't decide which ones to kick out. However, "I Get Around" doesn't have the same emotional connection to me that the others do, so I suppose that's the one I'm voting for.

They're all superb, career highlights, though.

All Summer Long: I Get Around

IGA

I Get Around

Agree.  "I Get Around" was, for me, their best track up to this time.  "Fun Fun Fun" was great, but this was better.  Brian's answer to the Beatles/British invasion.  1964 was a blast.  By summer we had the All Summer Long album.  We got Elvis' coolest movie ever, Viva Las Vegas.  From England, James Bond and the Beatles A Hard Day's Night.  Had a paper route to make money.  In the evenings we worked on our car and Famous Monsters models - and kept the 45s spinning.  Simple times, when most folks didn't even lock their doors - house or cars.  It only got better from there.

I pretty strongly disagree with the result of this round but, I Get Around has got around.  (13) (http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/images/smilies/survivor.gif)

Round#6 - All Summer Long: I Get Around June 14

The winning three tracks will fill the first 3 slots on ULTIMATE SURVIVOR!!!!

 :3d

The right songs won!

Though I would have replaced Don't Worry Baby with I Do. And The Warmth Of The Sun and Surfer Girl should have made it to Super Survivor instead.

I'm glad that In My Room made it, but just to be fair, I should mention that I count 12 votes for in my room and 12 for I get around.

Darn… have missed a whole bunch of voting since these polls were hidden away here. Ah well…

Eric is Right. ::)  The vote stands at 12 to 12.

Feels flow, I counted your vote as being for IGA. Was that incorrect?

Ok. Well then the count is 12 votes for. I get around and 13 votes for in my room. I'll fix the winning post later.

No, that last post was not a vote. The one right before the tally. He voted earlier in the same round and was just making a comment.

Feelsflow voted for in my room. Later, he made a comment right before the tally that was not a vote. The vote is 12-12, by my count.

Yes, my vote was posted as Reply # 173.

And thanks for the help Marianne and Eric.  I've been out all morning having a big breakfast.

I was in a benedryl fueled haze yesterday... Lol

So we are at 12-12 now, right? Waiting for a tie breaking vote, right ?

SAVE "I GET AROUND" !!

Somebody please vote for In my room..  I get Around is one the best songs ever and needs to move on to the next round!

 :-\.... I'm reluctantly saying I get around cuz I like both of them but In My Room is really beautiful but of course IGA is always gonna be a fan favorite

I don't understand. Is this a vote for I Get Around?

I think it's a vote against IGA, but I think it can easily be read either way.

Two of the right songs now. and thats my opinion to match yours.

I think it turned out to be a tie and it was just broken against I Get Around

If retro wants their vote counted they need to clarify it. As it is, this round is still hanging.

i was voting against it  :(

Ok, so the voting results stand.
