Walrus - The Return

[Sawduck]

And that leaves

@Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick

AND

@Sawduck

Just like in round 1, that didn't end good for me though

[Spears]

Thanks Spears - not many people like Country,, some of it is jus plain bad.  I am not a fan of old Western  (cringe) twang (which most people seem to like), guess I'm just backward!

...wait, there was a country walrus? how'd I miss that!!!  

oooh cool, will look forward to Soapy Country songs!

Soapy seems to post 'modern type' country song that I don't cringe at lol.

Yeah I can't remember the name of the walrus host, it was a lady I think. and when I was looking up songs, it was all cowboy hats and old men   . Torture. 

I did discover Luke Bryan through that research though. Sexy body on him

BONES UK - Pretty Waste





…Look something had to finish last and while I liked the track I just didn’t find it fitting the category at all unfortunately. I found the song a bit annoying if I'm honest, sorry!

[Necro]

WHICH Means....

In FIRST place with 12 points


Sawduck


Ozzy Osbourne - I Don't Wanna Stop





Again another perfect fit for the category, and an absolute choon to boot. Really enjoyed this after my initial ‘Ozzy freakin Osbourne in an exercise category?’ reaction. Looks can be deceiving…

[DejaBoo]

Necro, you must treadmill at break neck speed!

...great songs all!

Well, as I often say when you disagree with me Necro, you are of course completely wrong...

Noice! 

Sorry I missed it. Maybe Soapy will do one here (fingers crossed)

lol, I get that! You should take a listen to Brett Eldredge - his voice is sooooo, le-sexeh!

[Spears]

Well done @Sawduck

The Scores:

So after three rounds it's incredibly close at the top...

Name	Pop Punk VS Nu Metal	Theme Song	Exercise Song
Rachel Stevens	12	10	4
ShaneU	10	7	7
Trigger	11	4	6
JP Liz V1	8	6	11
Sephiroth_dude	5	8	5
Sawduck	4	11	12
Spears	6	12	8
Butty Brennan	9	5	10
Deja Boo	7	9	9

Name	Total
Rachel Stevens	26
ShaneU	24
Trigger	21
JP Liz V1	25
Sephiroth_dude	18
Sawduck	27
Spears	26
Butty Brennan	24
Deja Boo	25

So even after a slip in round 1 Sawduck climbs to the top of the table by a single point. But Spears and R*Soaps are just a single point behind with Deja Boo and Liz a further point back. Butty and Shane are only three points off as well which makes the final round very exciting.  With 12 points on offer plus some bonus points on offer, it's all very much to play for yet!

Wildcard Finale

This was a chance to Freestyle and put your own finish on a Fab Four entries. As I said in the blurb there will be bonus points assigned for how I felt the four songs knitted together, and in particular the finish. We’ll get to that in a minute. As I didn’t submit an entry I don’t have any videos to share really so let’s chuck out some of my faves….














So crack open some wine/beer, strap yourselves in and the final round kicks off in about 10 mins!!

[DejaBoo]

Great play! Thanks Necro! (I've no idea what I sent, this is too much fun!)

Great song, I first heard it on the radio of all places and went straight out and brought that album after hearing it.

Blue DeTiger - Hot Crush Lover





This feels a bit harsh because I quite liked the song, in fact I liked all the entries this round. I just didn’t like it as much as the songs above it.

Runaway June - Buy My Own Drinks





Having enjoyed the country entries thus far I actually felt this was quite weak :/ It’s just a bit too generic, country gal singing about drinks. It’s grand like, just not fantastic either.

Digging the start of the track. Chorus is a bit crap though. Overall here is a fair shake for it.

I like Fall Out Boy and I like to look at Demi Lovato, so what’s not to love? Song is ok too I guess. Haha jokes aside this was a great choice.

Another track that’s right up my alley, feat. Travis Barker seems to be a winner this Walrus

Not liking where this is going 😬

The Warning - CHOKE





Initially the start of this song put me off but then it properly kicks in and actually, I think this might have won the theme category, but erm… the entrant already won it soooooo….. The slow start crescendos to a kick ass chorus. Excellent choice.

Rev Theory - Hell Yeah





Top few tracks in this round really were a class apart imo. Very difficult to decide between this and first place, loved them both a lot.

[Necro]

@Sephiroth_Dude

I'm proud of that @Sephiroth_Dude submission! 

It wasn't a Casiopeia song for once 

About this...

Casiopea - Mid Manhattan





This was one that was previously submitted then sadly withdrawn from an older Walrus of mine. I think the lustre has gone from it though, I didn’t enjoy it as much this time around. That being said it’s pretty clear there’s an underlying theme to the entrant’s song choices

[Necro]

WHICH MEANS....

In FIRST Place with 12 points


Trigger


Five Finger Death Punch - Darkness Settles In






The band name suggested to me some sort of crazy wacky death metal, not gonna lie. So imagine my surprise when it’s not just a slower rock ballad type song, but a bloody brilliant one at that. Excellent choice.

[Trigger]

Absolutely love that song, so delighted to share!

The Warning - CHOKE

Definitely agree that the start isn't great. But after a few listens I loved the song.

I had another song I was gonna submit but I thought this song was a happy medium between what I like, and what I thought you might appreciate.

Delighted that you liked it 

[Necro]

BONUS POINTS:

Basically I picked the 5 entries that I felt had a consistency to them across the Walrus. 5 points go to the best, 4 to the second, 3 to the third, 2 to the fourth and 1 to the fifth..

So while Sawduck leads here they can still be overtaken by 2 players (Soapy and Spears) or caught by 2 others (Trigger and Liz) with a maximum score!!

[Necro]

One Point goes to….



R*SOAPS


The exercise song let this foursome down I felt, I just really didn’t like it. That being said, you gave me Hot Milk, Bebe Rexha (feat. Travis Barker of course) and Imagine Dragons so I’ll forgive you just this one time

I thought the four songs gelled well together and if I close my eyes and stick my fingers in my ears I can ignore BONES UK 

[Necro]

Two Points go to





SPEARS


Tried to take out song positioning in this bonus round as it was more about the overall four songs than anything. Thought there was a clear direction and tone to the entries from a few listens of all four across the board. The exercise song (Years and Years) is a little bit of a sojourn away from the other tracks but then it finishes on a high with The Warning.

(Added post game: The fact that you mentioned you just randomly picked the tracks gave me a giggle knowing this was coming at the end )

[Necro]

Three Points go to



TRIGGER


Ha I kind of shit all over Superblood Wolfmoon but it doesn’t mean I don’t like the song, just that it didn’t fit the category. Steady tracks that are pretty much from the exact same genre throughout. Nice one!

Love Five Finger Death Punch.

DEJA BOO


Brave souls enter four country songs into a Walrus, they also get rewarded in a bonus round for staying on point the whole way through! I didn’t think the Country Punk would work admittedly but it was a great start and I enjoyed the rest as well.

What can I say, the dude likes his crazy guitars I almost didn’t give you the max here because the exercise song (again lol) veers off track but Casiopea brings home the bacon. Thanks for entering!

yeah I knew my exercise song wasn't fitting with my other submissions but I liked the song and said fcuk it, i'll loose out on the extra point 

[Necro]

And so with the bonus points applied...





Congratulations to @Sawduck and @Spears who finish in joint 1st place on 38 points!!

@Trigger and @Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick round out our podium in joint third.


And of course @Sephiroth_Dude picks up the wooden spoon. But thank you all for entering, it's all a bit of fun at the end of the day 

[RSOAPS]

Congrats @Sawduck and @Spears on the win...

Cheers for the game and reveal @Necro, fun as always...
