Double Time - With or Without?

damian

A discussion on the Spaffnerds Facebook group with @Kris10tacles, @Lopez has lead to a revelation that I wasn't aware of. Double Time has only been played twice with its lyrics. The last two times it was played, 2/18/17 and 12/31/16, to be precise. This begs the question, how do we mark this in the spaffbase? Should we mark those performances as "With Lyrics" or the ones without as "Without Lyrics?"

Also, as a bonus, @Lopez shared this video from SodaSeven's YouTube which has the Anders Beck sitin.

I'll be adding it to the base as it's a complete performance of the song, one of only 2 with lyrics, and absolutely valuable for posterity.

Well that's not the question...

I voted to mark "with lyrics" because it has happened less times. Honestly, though, I think it should be marked both. Or maybe call it "Double Time (with)" and "Double Time"? Early thoughts on a Fall Back morning.

Lopez

Moving forward, I'd imagine that the song will have lyrics since the lyrics just weren't written the first few times it was played.

If this turns out to be true, I'd think we should just note the ones without lyrics.

I actually had the same thought about "with". This could even a case where having 2 entries for the song makes sense.

This was my initial thought as well. But it's going to have to get more play to be certain.

so basically we've established that the band needs to play the song more!

I went “without” for reasons already stated. I just hope I get to hear Double Time live!

I'd agree with @Lopez - if they play it again and it has lyrics, mark the ones without them. If they play it again and there are no lyrics, we would have to mark them both!

Looks like we've finally got our answer. They played it again "With".

@damian I figured once added, they wouldn't go back to playing "without" .

@Lopez I'm currently preparing my Facebook melt...
