March Madness: Jingles – Round of 32

Well our first round of voting was not nearly as chaotic as the first weekend of the real NCAA tournament but we did have a few underdogs prevail. March Madness is upon us, my friends!

I have to apologize up front for the technical issues we had with the Round of 64 post. I really think the problem came down to there just being too many videos on one page. This should not be an issue going forward but please let me know if these pages crash and I’ll break the regions down like I did last week.

The seeding this year, while again, completely and wholly biased as I went along seems to have been somewhat close to right. We only had one 4-seed go down and all other 1-4 seeds sailed through to the second round. We had one match-up end up in the ever elusive 100-0 victory and one semi-surprising match-up that came down to one vote. We had a couple of surprising votes to me but that’s the fun thing about these brackets, finding out how wrong I am about things!

The second round begins now and voting will end Wednesday, March 22 at 5pm Central. There are already a few damn near impossible choices to be made. Good luck!

But first — Let’s get on to the results! Remember all “scores” are percentages from voting.

March Madness: Jingles – Round of 64 Food Region Voting

Just a quick note – apparently some folks were unable to load the full Round of 64 post. I think it’s because there were just too many videos to load for voting. I’ll post each region separately for y’all to vote on. Let me know if this doesn’t work but I think it should.

March Madness: Jingles – Round of 64

Well in the past year I’ve written one post on this site. Which is exactly one more than I wrote last year. Progress! We’re back again to see what our favorite something is and frankly this year may be some of our most difficult choices yet.

As it is, we are back for our 8th year doing these brackets. Time flies, y’all! Our 7th bracket found our favorite Disney song with Aladdin‘s “Friend Like Me” coming out victorious by one vote! “Friend Like Me” joins our group of champions with 6th year Champ – our favorite holiday movie Elf. 5th year Champion of our favorite fast-food joint was one of our closer finals matchups as Whataburger was crowned. Our fourth-year winner of favorite TV theme song was won in a rout by The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. This joins our third-year winner for favorite breakfast food: Breakfast Tacos and Burritos. Our second-year bracket crowned The Sandlot as our champions of the Best Sports Movie Bracket. Our first champion was in the music bracket where The Beatles reigned victorious. It’s my pleasure to announce our topic this year: Jingles.

March Madness: Disney Songs – Our Champion

This is our first tournament in a while that wasn’t conducted under lockdown conditions. While we are still out here battling COVID, it’s been nice to have a bit of a goofy respite from thinking about reality. I really do look forward to this every single year and hope you do too. Enough with the my blabbering, let’s get to the good stuff!

Our Championship Round came down to a 3 seed and a 5 seed that very well could have been top 2 seeds if there wasn’t so many other great Disney songs. I think most of us probably could have seen either of these two winning the whole thing at the beginning of our tournament. It was quite the journey for our two finalists but they persevered to make it to the finale. Time to find out how the Championship Round fared. Remember all “scores” are in percentages.

March Madness: Disney Songs – Championship

Hey guys, we made it! We’re already through this great tournament. This has been a ton of fun and honestly one of the most bonkers brackets we’ve ever done. I can’t remember any other bracket we’ve done with so many upsets and double digit seeds staying in so long.

Just like every year, I like to make picks like I’m in an office pool before March Madness. For the most part the Final 4 was not a huge surprise even though it ended with a 3, 4, 5, and 7 seed making it in. Honestly, I think you could have had most of these as a 1-3 seeds based on your personal feelings. This was probably the hardest time I’ve had seeding the tournament. After this great run, let’s see how the winners of each region fared in the Final Four and who will face off in the Championship!

The Championship Round voting begins now and will end Wednesday April 6 at 5pm Central. Championship winner will be announced on Thursday. I can’t believe we are already almost through this year!

But first — Let’s get on to the results! Remember all “scores” are percentages from voting.

March Madness: Disney Songs – Final 4

Well, here we are. Together we have spent the last three weeks whittling down our four regions to one champion in each quarter. We have our Regional Champions and are ready to move on to the Final 4! The Elite 8 saw two close games (one of which could have gone either way the entire time) and two… well, not so close games. We enter the Final 4 with four teams that I could see winning the whole thing even if someone raked one of them a 7 seed. I regret nothing! But enough with my rambling…on to the scores!

The Final 4 voting begins now and voting will end Sunday April 3 at 5pm Central. Championship round begins on Monday. I can’t believe we are already almost through this year!

But first — Let’s get on to the results! Remember all “scores” are percentages from voting.

March Madness: Disney Songs – Elite 8

This bracket, more than any of our other yearly tournaments has completely baffled me at every turn. We have had a few Cinderella stories that have stayed in much longer than I thought and some real blue bloods fall much earlier than most of us expected. Our Sweet 16 seemed like it was set up to go through without much of a surprise but, my God y’all. There was one game that absolutely blew my mind. More on that in a bit.

The Regional Finals begin now and voting will end Wednesday, March 30 at 5pm Central. Our Final 4 and regional winners will be announced Thursday and the start of the ultimate battle of Disney supremacy begins. Good luck with making up your mind on some of these.

But first — Let’s get on to the results! Remember all “scores” are percentages from voting.
