Rikand's Walrus Reveal!

Electric Nitwit

I knew ages ago I'd gone much too safe here. It's not my favourite Sigur Ros either, but I wasn't sure how to play this game

Pretzill

Saw Michael Delguidice sing Nessun at Billy Joel's concert last year - not even close to the great Pavarotti but still beautiful - I saw an old black and white film recently with Harry Secombe performing it fabulous piece of music - none shall sleep.

5th Place :: Stereolab - Cybele's Reverie

This just went up and up the list. At first listen, I was like "nope! Nope, nope, nope, bope!" And then it just kept going up. And up. And up. If i had another week to listen to it...... 5th is actually probably still as high as it would go because the top 4 are just that bit ahead for me. But its a lovely lovely tune!

Stealing glances at thread in between calls like:

osh

Well at least I know now I wasn't in bottom 3

Saw them in Dublin a few weeks ago, though this song is from mid nineties.

4th Place :: Jane Zhang - The Diva Dance (From the Fifth Element)

This song was written for the movie and intended to be not possible to sing by a human as I was told in the entry write up for this song and she almost nails it! The deep bits at the end are just under her range if I'm being super nitty, but goddamnit is this still amazing! And shes super hot too! If you have any familiarity with the movie in question, you are going to adore this and I think everyone will just love it anyway!

I really enjoyed that osh!

Necro

Seeing my entry not 12 to 4...

Now the nerves they go a jingle jangle

And my mind is stating



I really wanna listen to the other songs too

Well from what I read the singer in the movie recorded each of the fast high notes separately and they were digitally remastered closer together

The actor who played the singer was a model, going out with the director at the time who stepped in last minute to play the role of the alien singer.

She doesn't quite have the low notes but them high ones OMG

Rikand

top 3/bottom 3 hype

Necro
Green&Red
partyjungle
Builebeag
Tritium
Fixxxer

Two of these were instantly amazing to me and the other one grew on me! The other 3 were just downright hideous. But who will feature where!

They've got so many great tunes, a lot sung in english too, or no/minimal vocals.

If your'e interested in more, Dots and Loops is probably my favorite album, though the one this has some of my favorite songs too. (Emperor Tomato Ketchup).

13th Place :: Adriano Celentano - Prisencolinensinainciusol

apparently when Italians here English people speak, this is what they hear. I cant say that I hear it myself so as a result, i just didnt like this. Well, actually, not as a result of that. I just didnt like it in general

Oh I'll definitely check it out! I love that this game is giving me new music. I can get very lazy about music at times and just listen to the same old tunes on repeat.

Electric Nitwit

I second the Stereolab love. Really liked them back in the day then kind of forgot them. Got back into them when they announced Vicar Street but then couldn't make it, I was gutted

Necro

Really regretting entering the Ketchup Song right about now....

3rd Place :: O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei

This started out in number 1 spot. On the next listen it was in the bottom 3, then it top 3'd again, then bottom 3'd and after about 10 listens it went back into the top3 and just stayed where it is. Each relisten I just kept on smiling all the way through it and thats what music should do to someone It's one of those real addictive great tunes and you gotta thank the "Numa Numa Guy" for the way this maintained in the memory. But its a truly beautiful tasty piece of cheese

I really wanted this to be number 1 or number 15 just so I could make Necro sweat soo soo hard!

14th Place :: Dead Can Dance - The Host of the Seraphim

I'm sure its something in the right situation that can provoke a certain kind of feeling, but for me, this just put me in my dark place and I couldnt give it anymore than 3 listens before resigning it to the bin but thank you for submitting it

2nd Place :: Blur - To the end (French version)

"Here Dougal, who do you prefer, Oasis or Blur ?" "Blur!" "Wha?" .... No seriously, Blur!!! ****ing love blur Necro. ****ing love them and this was straight away number 1 on my list when I heard it first but then something else came along. EVen Damon bastardizing some of the pronounciations is not enough for me to dislike this. I just adored it right away. I think it is a very very very long time since I last heard this and I just thought it was a gorgeous rendition of an already great song!

toi though, toi
