    The Zurik sisters are awesome! They're doing NINesque industrial music decomposition with no synths, no computers, it's ****ing brilliant!

    Can't see the video, but he was sexy in Gigi. And even as an older man he was sexy in Octopussy (IMO). He has a bit of a Christopher Plummer vibe to him, who only got better looking as he got older.

    Yep, it's the scene where Elwood brings Jake to his apartment and as he's making toast Jake crashes out on his bed.

    Seen The Blues Brothers many dozens of times, and remember the scene but don't remember the song.

    8th Place – Robert Johnson – I Believe I’ll Dust my Broom


    Molly: Father of rock and roll who sold his soul to the devil. Nice song but doesn’t grab me.
    ALC: I do like Johnson, classic pre-rock’n’roll. There were a few songs I preferred though.

    Scores:
    Molly: 5/14
    ALC: 9/14

    He's so old he's dead. But still knocking around. So, totes your type based on the Jourdan Hotness distribution you were describing. I feel bad that my tomfoolery means you didn't get your hot older dude fix so here - feast your eyes and gird thyne loins

    Ah. That makes a bit of sense at least. Because when I Googled, I got:

    latest?cb=20181108094241

    Hence my confusion. But, for the record, it's not all old men I like. Just some :)

    7th Place – Louis Armstrong – A Kiss to Build a Dream On


    Molly: Ok so I said I hate jazz but I actually quite like old timey singers like Louis and Ella and Billie. Exactly what I was looking for in this category.
    ALC: Yeah, this was solid.

    Scores:
    Molly: 12/14
    ALC: 4/14

    That is Vecna. That's the joke. His face is a skull. The other guy is dickie Davies, which is the same guy essentially but he works for the BBC. If I labour the point any more it will give birth, let's all agree it was a terrible joke and never speak of it again. :D

    That is a classy tune. It feels like the end credits of something incredibly violent where the juxtaposition breaks you out of your shock.
    Molly, accept it and buy a turtleneck. You like jazz.

    I was just thinking the same thing, ACL is a tough scorer, I like his no nonsense approach to commentary

    Also, this relationship is doomed if their musical tastes are anything to go by

    In fairness the song is older but Louis didn't record it until 1951

    6th Place – Scott Joplin – The Entertainer


    Molly: This was one of my leaving cert music pieces so I know it well. I enjoy the bounciness of it. It was always fun to play. Excellent choice.
    ALC: The entertainer is a great piece of music, but I know it and I’m going to give higher votes to pieces I hadn’t heard before.

    Scores:
    Molly: 9/14
    ALC: 8/14

    Hmmm we depended on the honesty of the submissions (and scored poor oul Mick accordingly). But what's done is done now. Apologies Mick. :o
