1. Simple
   A lot of the music I listen to is busy, I’ve had a lot of walrus comments about my picks having too much going on. In general though, if a band don’t throw the kitchen sink at it, I feel there’s a kitchen sink size hole left! So prove me wrong – give me a song with a really simple arrangement. No rules, but I’m imagining a singer and just a guitar or piano, that sort of thing
   
   
2. Title Track
   If a band think a song is good enough to name the entire album after it, it must be good right? Just send me the title track from an album, simple as that
   
   
3. Bootleg Beatles
   I recently read that The Beatles are the most covered band ever. Not sure it’s true, but it sounds very plausible. I've also never really got into the Beatles, in some ways their songs are so omnipresent I never choose to listen to them, but I do like hearing alternative takes on them. So send me another band or artist covering a Beatles Song
   
   
4. Bond, James Bond. Only Not
   I think that James Bond theme songs all have a particular style to them. A certain flair and dirty glamour that's in their shared DNA. Give me a song that sounds like it could be a James Bond theme song, but isn’t
   
   
5. Shoutout to the DJ!
   Hey Mr… Superstar DJs… got this party started, there’s no end in sight.
   I don’t know why but I like songs that call out the DJ, so give a song that does that please. I'm imagining this may be a pop and dance round, which wouldn't be my usual sort of thing, but take it anywhere you want
   
   
6. The Big Finish
   There’s particular places for particular songs on albums. They have to draw you in at the start, get the big hits in early, and they have to leave you wanting more at the end. I love closing tracks, I think there’s something special about them. The long, epic finish or the quirky little oddball. Whatever style you want, give me the final song on an album to close our walrus

A song where the lyrics say "DJ" basically

The three examples squished together are:
Madonna - Music - "Hey Mister DJ, Put a record on, I wanna dance with my baby"
Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy, Hey Girl - "Superstar DJs, here we go!"
S Club 7 - Don't Stop Moving - "DJ got the party started there's no end in sight"

I have to go to the big smoke on Friday so I'm going to hold off any listening until then, it'll help me pass the bus journey then

Entries still open for at least a week though, no rush

23 songs (yes, we have a duplicate!) might get me to Dublin, what will get me home though? (I mean, I'll be drunk and asleep but that's not the point!)
