I had to vote for Iceland. I'm listening to it now and memories come flooding back from a certain time in my life. Nothing to newsworthy. Just always brings a smile to my face.

Yeah, I got it. I worded my post wrong.
Both great songs, but Iceland IS Iceland.
iceland is the song that got me into ozma, i really hope it doesn't lose
when you think of a non album song from ozma, iceland is what comes to mind. at least for me. that is why iceland wins.

But it IS on an album. Which is how it manages to be in the survivor for that particular album.
ahahahaha. sucks for those people who don't have the songs of audible trucks and cars or songs of inaudible trucks and cars albums!!! AHAHAHAH
woohoo Lorraine is about to win!
Well, it seems Lorraine has just about won it. I'm not surprised. Just as I wasn't surprised when it was the song the fans chose in the Digevent thing, and that was a long long time ago. It's a good pop song that everyone can enjoy.
I'm glad Iceland's puttin up a pretty good fight.
if its not winning its not putting up a fight.
Come on now. Iceland. Mykel and Carli? Yeah? Come on now.
what does Iceland have to do with Mykel and Carli?
Lorraine is easily my fav "non album track" [yes this is an album, but u can't go to the store and buy it] because Back to the Future is my favorite film, i think the song is a fun fun pop song from the perspective of George McFly, just very very clever. Thats one of the things i love about them, they'll slip in a reference to the Trilogy occasionally.
Iceland was on that tribute album for Mykel and Carli.

Huh? It's not the only limited release, out of print album ever (hell, we even had a reference to the Mykel and Carli tribute in this thread). And it's pretty widely available online, for those non-purists out there.
Though I do agree that Lorraine is a terrific song, and I would love to see Ozma break it out sometime.

um, yes i know this. I know some don't consider ISoTaC an album, so i clarified what i was saying about it being a "non-album" track.

a bit of both
the emotion comming fom the artists seems fake to me. for example in lorraine, i don't feel like i can connect with daniel singing the song because he has no feelings towards lorraine, marty mcfly does, and marty mcfly isn't singing the song so i can't connect with him either.
a reference to natalie portman in said song is different because the emotion is comming from the artist, dan actually had a crush on natalie at one point but couldnt do anything about it. its also something everyone can relate to, having feelings for someone you know is unattainable.
Quotehe has no feelings towards lorraine, marty mcfly does
Lorraine likes Marty, not vice versa. The song is about George singing to Lorraine
valid points Malcolm, i agree mostly. But i just love that the artist enjoys something that i have a passion for to, Back to the Future, and i connect with the Daniel through that. It's great to hear someone sing about something i feel so strongly about, when i didn't think many people did. The same reason i enjoy hearing someone sing about the unattainable.
I don't really agree with malcolm, in Lorraine I guess Dan probably used the BTTF characters as an outlet/metaphor thingy for his own feelings, if you know what I mean.
yes he did, but those are metaphors i just can't connect with
