Match-up #16 - Fiddler's Green Vs. Greasy Jungle
I ask you to listen to the two songs in the match-up Back to Back, and consider the lyrics of the song. Feel free to post an unbiased analysis of both songs in this thread, but please refrain from cheerleading or making predictions for your favourites.
This is probably gonna be a landslide. FG is a very emotional song. However, once again, I'm taking the underdog. Greasy Jungle just has such a great groove. Not to mention:
"Velvet callow with wet hands
I turned out the lights and
breathing shallow hesitated
then went upstairs where
I picked up your housecoat
dried my hands and
touched your hair
and just then you awoke
you could never really barely care"
Wow, just WOW!
I'm going to hate seeing Greasy Jungle get clobbered like this.
This was the easiest choice for me so far, I barely even noticed that Fiddlers Green was the other song before I voted for Greasy Jungle
Greasy Jungle has got an early jump but can they sustain it over 24H
If the Hip hadn't brought Fiddlers Green back to the show this fall I would have voted Greasy Jungle without thinking. FG is just gorgeous live.
NOOOO!!!
I love Greasy Jungle...I love the singing, the guitars, the lyrics, I love it live....I just love it
But, unfourtunately, it's not Fiddler's Green... (I saw FG being played live for the first time at MacEwan Hall in Calgary back in October...amazing)
This is the toughest one yet for me
Nice t'be amongst a vocal majority...Jungle's groove is indeed too good and Fiddler's, I never really understood it's mythical following...Maybe that's why I've never heard it live...
not hard at all...to me greasy is the weakest track on DFN

I believe you're thinking of Emergency, because Greasy Jungle is near hypnotizing.
I'm starting to sound like a broken record here (albeit with the lyrics slightly changed): I love Greasy Jungle, but Fiddler's Green is just too great. It sends shivers down my spine every time.
Greasy Jungle for me, i so love that song! Sorry FG i really am please don't hate me FG.
No brainer! Fiddlers all the way!
