Right, I'm ready to go. Are y'all ready for this?
Firstly let me say I think this was the most fun round I had so far. Genuinely not one song I didn't like in some form or another. Ranking them was an absolute nightmare. Even up until about 7.30pm there I wasn't fully definite on placings for a couple of songs.
Some kept going up in my estimation, and others were staying static so it was really hard to decide on placements on my end. Stu's scores helped decide the final positions though. Whether that's good or bad well we'll find out together I suppose

17th Place: Shakira - Hips Don’t Lie
Necro: This causes conflicting feelings within Necro, mainly for the video VS the actual song. Like… the video is just AMAZING. Shakira’s hips do not lie, that is for certain. The song is a bit meh though unfortunately for me. I do like the beat but overall it’s not as killer of a song as the ones above it. And I have to be honest, Shakira’s warbling does absolutely nothing for me, it’s the same vocal every song since Whenever, Wherever – she looks great gyrating and vibrating to the beats in her music but her voice reminds me of a castrated goat. Video firmly on repeat though
Stu Redman: No matter what song has been submitted, no matter how familiar with it I might already be, I give everything a few listens with fresh ears for Walrus. So, I saw this coming up and a little part of me died inside, but I persevered a few times. Nope, no new understanding of the song or fondness for it, nothing. Shakira's voice just irks me. I've danced to all sorts, but I've no memory of ever being drunk and delighted to hear this song come on. I'm just not built for it. Then we go back to the objective vs subjective thing, yeah it's a great mover, but everything submitted in this round is a mover.

When Shakira first came out with Wherever Whenever, my dad was only in his early 40s and if we were watching the music channels and she was on, he'd say to my mother and I joking, 'i will not have a bad word said about Shakira in this house' so I'm saying nothing

Stu Redman: A song I've not taken to before, but I'm trying here. I'm trying to imagine it coming on in a club and me either staying on the dancefloor or taking to it. It's just not happening, I'd want to be on some wild mixture that particular nig
You're trying to find the words to describe the song without being disrespectful :pac:
Nah on reflection, I wanted to change it to Follow Rivers by Lykke Li. That is a lovely dance/club song but I do like Sexy Bitch 0 -

14th Place: Interpol - Slow Hands
Necro: Again this is another tune that I quite like, it takes a while for me to get that sort of… groove feel from it though. A few more listens and I can see why this was entered, it’s one of those songs for the self-conscious males (they’re everywhere) to get up and shoulder each other around the dancefloor to, generally their ages range from 15 anywhere up to around 30. I can get on board with that as I was once that guy. But I have to somehow rank these and unfortunately this just doesn’t get me toe-tapping enough to rise any higher than this.
Stu Redman: A band I've tried to get into at numerous points over the last 15 years, but apart from their first album I've found it quite hard. This song was one of the few I liked from their second album, but hearing it for the first time in years now I'm not getting the urge to go back to Interpol. I imagine if I was a fan of the band, this would be hard not to move to at an Interpol gig.

13th Place: Lady Gaga - Born This Way
Necro: Ok so I love me some Lady Gaga. Pokerface, Just Dance, Bad Romance and I’m front and centre on the dancefloor doing stupid moves. Born This Way doesn’t fall quite into that category though. Maybe it’s the overlong production of her videos that drive me a bit loopy, but it’s just not in the same category for me that I’ve mentioned previously. Also at this stage in her career Gaga was just in the rinse and repeat stage, all her songs kind of just blend into each other if you really think about it, particularly the likes of Born This Way. Still a good song, but the ones ahead of it are better… all imo, of course.
Stu Redman: Nope, thought I could do it, but sorry. Great chorus, undoubtably an ass mover, but I forgot about that breakdown. Lady Gaga is a supreme talent through and through, studio or live, but I'm not one to take to the dancefloor when her songs come on now that I think about it.

12th Place: Usher - Yeah!
Necro: Peace Up, A Town Down - what a song. I love this Usher track, the right mix of rap and some sweet dance beats to make this an unforgettable one. Thanks for this entry! I love putting on this song on a semi-regular basis and just vibing. The chorus is uber repetitive, catchy but a little bit bleh at times. The real cool part of this song is the rapping for me.
Stu Redman: A popular one in the clubs, but one which just never resonated with me. I do like the music, just not gone on Usher or the 'yeah yeah yeah'.

Not all songs. Mainly Orion, and mainly as I'm not listening to the album in full for the benefit of this contest

10th Place: Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Necro: I was wondering if this would be entered when we were making up the categories actually. It’s definitely one of those songs that you want to jump up and dance to, for sure. The problem, and why this is so low for me is that it’s also on every time I go out, (mostly) not by my own doing.... mostly. Overplayed I think is the best way to describe it.
Stu Redman: No messing, no dragged out hifalutin intro, just straight in with the beat and it doesn't let up until the end. Fcuk no I don't regularly throw shapes to this, but I would if my ID let me

Again a big differing of opinion here... seems to be becoming a trend. Is there a rift in the camp :eek:
Also I feel bad ranking this song so low personally but it's played on repeat every single bloody time I'm out :cool:0
