The iTunes Pre-Order (And Track List Announcement!!) - July 1

[Marko_The_Odd]

So I assume with the iTunes tracklisting we'll also know the parody targets, though not necessarily the polkas, since iTunes tends to list the original song in the title, right?

[mrmeadows]

Even it iTunes doesn't list the original song targets, Bermuda said that we should be able to figure out the songs being parodied pretty easily based on the parody titles. It shouldn't be another "TMZ" or "Another Tattoo" deal, where the target songs aren't obvious.

But you're right: we'll probably have to wait until we actually hear the polka for those targets.

I thought he meant we weren't getting song titles like "The Saga Begins","Couch Potato" or "Cavity Search", where the title bears no resemblance to the original's title or it's chorus, whereas something like "Another Tattoo" is derived from "Nothin On You", it's just a bit of stretch that isn't completely obvious.

Don't worry. This is WOWAY. We'll find a way to have incredibly wrong predictions regardless of how easy it may be to guess.

[Yup.]

My question is, if iTunes is releasing the track list, doesn't each song have like a 30-second preview when you look at it on iTunes? (If you can't tell, I don' use iTunes very often.)

Perhaps that's what he meant, but without going back and finding exactly what he said, my recollection is that he implied we "shouldn't have any trouble" figuring it out from the titles. The way I took it was that most (or all?) of the titles would be closer to "Canadian Idiot" or "Party in the CIA" than any of the above.

There are 30 second previews for albums already on iTunes, but not usually for pre-orders. Just the names are shown, but without a preview to click on.

Wow, Grom's dream came true!!!!

Ahem, my prediction came true. BS is the one who's been dreaming of me and leaking.

[anthontherun]

I'll be out of town for this, which makes the prospect of going info-free somewhat tantalizing (although I'd need to stay away from WOWAY for another two weeks, and even that wouldn't guarantee that I'd be able to avoid finding out). AAARRRRGGGGHHHH

Are we allowed to make full out track list predictions in this thread?
