Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 Howdy folks, I'm back with another Walrus! It's been a while since we had a music Walrus so I was keeping this one simple and we have NINE entrants (plus a bonus entry into the theme song category) I named four categories and nine of you sent me four songs, one for each category! The songs are then ranked in order of my own personal preference - most will disagree with my decisions and that's half the fun See below for the categories: Pop Punk VS Nu-Metal Your Theme Song Song to Exercise to The Grand Finale As well as the four rounds I've added a special bonus round for how I felt the overall 4 songs gelled together. So get ready because at 6pm this evening we're going for a DOUBLE ROUND REVEAL!! See you all then! Our entrants:
RE: Walrus - The Return - Spears - 15-04-2022 My first song, I Googled one of the categories, and my band choice popped up. But if I Google the bands name, it says they are actually another genre. Oops . Oh well, I submitted the song because of a sexy band member(of course) so i'll be happy enough with my submission whatever I score. Second song I really struggled with. Have no idea about wrest;ing theme songs. I had an idea in my head of what I'd like, & listened to a load of songs but nothing seemed to fit. Eventually got bored and just threw something into the mix lol. My gym song is a great song, and something I would definitely listen to if I got of my hole and joined a gym. Last song doesn't fit with my other submissions but I liked the song. (& they are stunning band members too) So yeah, I'm felling a bit of beating coming on RE: Walrus - The Return - Spears - 15-04-2022 BTW as much as I struggled with the wrestling category, I thought it was a great choice to have in the game. I'm looking froward to seeing the other submissions on this one RE: Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 All the songs in category 1 fit the description Some better than others mind you RE: Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 Pop Punk VS Nu Metal
Quite an interesting round to kick things off. Nobody went too deep into nu-metal which I found interesting and possibly that was a misstep as I do like me some nu metal… Reveal will kick off in about 20 mins or so with 8th place. We will save last place to reveal just before 1st so it will be an agonizing wait for two people each round... RE: Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 In 8th place with 5 points

Deftones – My Own Summer (Shove It) I think this was submitted to a previous Walrus of mine and I definitely don’t mind it. The chorus gets very repetitive on repeated listens though and it’s a bit shouty. RE: Walrus - The Return - Spears - 15-04-2022 & Korn as a NuMetal band. How could I have missed that one RE: Walrus - The Return - Spears - 15-04-2022 I'm proud of that @Sephiroth_Dude submission! It wasn't a Casiopeia song for once RE: Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 In 7th place with 6 points

Papa Roach – Stand Up It got tricky from here up, I didn’t dislike any song submitted in fact. Just preferred some a bit more. I liked the bridge where the lead singer tries to sing instead of repeating Sweat repeatedly. I'm more cultured and nuanced than that... Oh babay babay RE: Walrus - The Return - Sephiroth_Dude - 15-04-2022 (15-04-2022, 06:02 PM)Spears Wrote: I'm proud of that @Sephiroth_Dude submission! casiopea rule all Should have went with something else, I couldn't remember if I had entered it before or not.

Punk Goes Country – House Party Initially I was wondering how a country song would fare in this category but the cover gives it merit in the ‘Pop Punk’ area. I enjoyed it definitely. Not as much as others but this is a fair placing for it imo. RE: Walrus - The Return - Spears - 15-04-2022 (15-04-2022, 06:03 PM)Necro Wrote:I didn't think that song would go down well with you. I submitted it coz its a new song. And did you see the sexy band member on the right who swayed me to submit it!? He was worth comin gsecond last #noregrets RE: Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 In 5th place with 8 points

All American Rejects – Dirty Little Secret A choon I had pretty much forgotten about entirely, so thanks for the reminder. Swing, Swing would have probably been a place or two higher here as I always preferred that track by these lads but overall it’s a solid entry.

The Offspring – Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) Ah man this is just class. I remember when I first heard this song we went on a trip with the school to some drama competition in Galway. I blagged my way onto the coach by helping out with the backstage crew which consisted of me turning on a lamp twice in the production. Good times… anyways afterwards we were let loose on Galway for a couple of hours and I picked up the tape single of this. Handed it to the bus driver and it was played the whole way home with the entire bus absolutely loving it – including our principal who was a nun. Very funny. Over the years I do get tired with it from time to time but always come back to it after a rest. It’s a great entry. RE: Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 In 3rd place with 10 points

Jimmy Eat World – The Middle Another one that I had on repeat back in the day. It was very difficult to separate the top 4 here, on another day they really could have been in a different order. RE: Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 In 2nd place with 11 points
Spoiler
Green Day – Holiday/Boulevard of Broken Dreams Is it cheating to submit two songs to one category? Ah look they fit together so perfectly it’s kind of hard to separate them truthfully. One compliments the other. American Idiot is probably in my Top 5 fave albums so this was a very good choice. RE: Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 So that just leaves... @Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick AND @Sawduck with songs left to be revealed. Who will be top of the pops? Tune in shortly RE: Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 In 9th place with 1 point Spoiler
Godsmack - Voodoo Remember when I mentioned nu-metal doing well here… haha! Normally it would but I just didn’t feel the grá for this track unfortunately. It’s all a bit boring and plain. RE: Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 WHICH MEANS
In 1st place with 12 points R*SOAPS Hot Milk - I Just Wanna Know What Happens When I'm Dead I had a feeling Soapy might excel in this round for some reason. Hadn’t heard this song before but it’s kind of exactly what I think about when I mention Pop Punk. Overblown guitars, screamy lyrics and a song name as long as Rachel’s Username Great selection. RE: Walrus - The Return - RSOAPS - 15-04-2022 (15-04-2022, 06:42 PM)Necro Wrote: Sweet! Thought I might be going straight to last when I saw the rest of the Top 4, and figured my lesser known song would tank, so glad you liked it. Been a tad obsessed with Hot Milk recently, so was delighted when I saw it would fit your first category... RE: Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 I'll lash up the scores after the end of the second round. Gonna kick on with our Theme Song round in about 5/10 mins now. But enjoy the preview whilst you wait... Theme Song
So as I said in the blurb, I’m a big wrestling fan. Theme music for the wrestlers is a huge part of the whole production. I don’t like them all but I do like a lot of them. Some more recent themes that caught my attention I have listed below: And then some I might consider for my own entrance… no ego here or anything RE: Walrus - The Return - Trigger - 15-04-2022 Happy with round 1.. not expecting much from Round 2 RE: Walrus - The Return - Spears - 15-04-2022 I actually liked @Sawduck song Well done @Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick that's a fun song and was a deserving winner!

Why didn't anybody tell me I should be watching wrestling RE: Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 Bonus Entry – E.N.
The Black Keys - The Baddest Man Alive This was sent in by EN who wasn’t able to put in songs for the other rounds. I quite enjoyed this track, would have probably finished about mid table I expect (I unfortunately didn't get a chance to compare it to the other tracks). Thanks for sharing it!

Insane Clown Posse – Night of the Chainsaw Spotify Link: https://open.spotify.com/track/0Ql8rTrjlaw2YmIaVsOonL?si=36e47ace513b445a This would be a decent theme song for a character from a horror movie actually. Someone like the Fiend might benefit off it… or Chainsaw Charlie. It’s a decent entry but the others above are better imo.

Imelda May - Mayhem Decent female entrance theme here. Not exactly what I was looking for but it’s not bad all the same. Sounds a bit like Lacey Evans entrance theme. RE: Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 In 6th place with 7 points Spoiler
Death From Above - Totally Wiped Out Probably the most difficult entry I found to place. I do like some elements of it as an entrance theme, possibly a high flying tag team? The track might be just a little TOO fast though so it ends up here. RE: Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 In 5th place with 8 points

FamilyJules - You Will Know Our Names Now we’re getting into the Rick Boogs territory. I can see this being a theme for like a top top babyface in NJPW (Japanese wrestling company for the uninitiated). Nice choice. RE: Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 In 4th place with 9 points

Carrie Underwood – Good Girl Not sure how this hasn’t been a theme already, would definitely fit in well for a couple of current ladies. Nice choice, I think I’ve heard it before but must have forgotten all about it.

Imagine Dragons x J.I.D. - Enemy Love the start stop element of the lyrics with the beat. This is top notch stuff. Not something I expected to be submitted but it just works so well. You can picture the ring walk and then the pose on the ropes. Very little between this and second place here it has to be said. RE: Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 (15-04-2022, 07:20 PM)Spears Wrote: That's gas Yeah I think with a lot of work it could definitely fit for a more supernatural character or something like that.

Corey Marks - Outlaws & Outsiders There’s a hint of *Beer Money* from TNA off this is there - Checks YouTube - Nope, no there isn't. This is much much better. Loved the song, thought it fit the category perfectly. Not much more I can say than that! RE: Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 Which means our two remaining contestants for Round 2 are... @Spears AND @Trigger Who is going to WrestleMania with a category win and who is ending up under the ring? RE: Walrus - The Return - Trigger - 15-04-2022 😬😬😬😬 RE: Walrus - The Return - Necro - 15-04-2022 In 9th place with 4 points

Pearl Jam - Superblood Wolfmoon This is… ok. It’s a good song I’m just not sure I see it as an entrance theme? Maybe for a Pearl Jam fan haha? There are elements that work but I think what lets it down as a theme a bit is that everything is jammed together with no real differentiation between verse or chorus. RE: Walrus - The Return - Spears - 15-04-2022 Great song @Sawduck |
