First and foremost, I very, Very, VERY (got that, Brother Sixgun?) sincerely thank each and every one of you who cared enough to take the time to visit my li'l ol' blog and cast a vote in my BATTLE OF THE BANDS (BOTB) blog bit! Really, seriously - I thank you, every one o' youz!
.
Secondly, a word to the wise: Vegetable Juice (broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, cilantro, carrots, squash) and a shot of Wild Turkey 101 DO NOT mix!! I very nearly dumped that "cocktail" (?) down the sink, but... dern'd if I was gonna totally waste a perfectly good shot of Wild Turkey 101, damn it all to satan's domain.
.
Thirdly, with evil Google's latest (UTTERLY UNNECESSARY) "upgrade" to their operating system / our Dashboard functions, my Old School computer has been boxed out and has become useless. In the past (time and Time, and TIME again, Number 6) I have been able to find ways to circumnavigate evil Google's unnecessary and unhelpful changes. But this time (as of September NOW, 2020), "Don't Be Evil" Google has finally "fixed" everything so damned good that I can no longer compose a blog bit on my own computer. I am borrowing my Brother's (aka Nappy & Judge Al Bondigas) laptop in order to struggle through the composin' (writin') of this already overdue (a day late) BOTB Results post. This is NOT fun. This is really, Really, REALLY not FUN (got that, Sheboyganboy?)
.
.
.
So, therefore, and for that reason, and how come why, I am going to keep this painfully composd (ritten) BOTB Results blog bit short and bitter as hell!
.
As I said in the original BOTB blog bit (which it's too much trouble to link to HERE), I really enjoy both movies, 'Guys And Dolls' and 'Leap Of Faith', and I really enjoy both renditions of 'SIT DOWN, YOU'RE ROCKING THE BOAT' (Stubby Kaye's and Don Henley's). But if I *MUST* choose between the two versions of the song (as I must, since this is BOTB, and every DogG & DogGette is downright REQUIRED to choose one or anutter), I gotta go with Stubby Kaye, because (as my Bro, Judge Al, noted...) a song about "Rockin' The Boat" should actually include a good deal of rockin' energy - which Stubby provided and Don didn't - even though I still do enjoy hearing Lethargic Don's recording. To my (low-wattage) brain, the word "Rocking" equates to "Energy". But then maybe that's just the Vegetable Juice & Wild Turkey 101 yakkin'.
.
Stubby Kaye = 6 votes
.
Don Henley = 10 votes
.
Not a bad outcome at all. And I love every one of you who contributed to it, regardless of which o' these combatants you supported with your two BOTB Kitty cents / sense.

Just for the fun o' it, I'm going to (try to) post below a video clip of the scene from the movie 'Guys And Dolls' where Stubby Kaye actually sings the song 'SIT DOWN, YOU'RE ROCKING THE BOAT'. And, for the record, I recommend that you watch BOTH movies - 'Guys And Dolls' & 'Leap Of Faith' - which feature the two renditions of this song that I used in this installment of BOTB.

Stubby Kaye in 'Guys And Dolls'

Hopefully (God willing & not too much boat-rocking in the USA), I will see y'all here again on October 1, 2020 ("the terrible year") for anutter installment of Battle Of The Bands.
