    In 5th place The Breeders - Cannonball

    The Breeders second song in the Walrus, one of the best intros to a song



    6 points for Homer J. Fong

    In 3rd place Low Millions - Eleanor

    I'd never heard this song before but really liked it, it got bumped ahead of the Strokes and the Breeders on account of being new to me



    8 points and my walrus trophy go to Also Starring LeVar Burton

    Which means Trigger gets 10 points with

    If I had a gun - Noel Gallaghers high flying birds

    Not as good as the Arcade Fire song but gets top spot cause I hadn't heard it before. I loved Oasis but have never really got into Noel or Liams solo stuff. This would make me go and look at Noel's stuff, its very like the Be Here Now stuff.
    Loved it

    Thanks Green&Red, I'm genuinely delighted - I always thought we had fairly similar tastes in previous Walrus'

    For anyone keeping track that's back-to-back Walrus wins for me following a win in Reberetta's Walrus week before last...

    Not that I'm bragging or anything... ;)

    I'd like to take this opportunity to plug the first ever SURLAW (Reverse Walrus) here in Forum Games, which I'm hosting, and sign ups are open. Please do check it out if you haven't already, should be a bit of a laugh...

    I still think I was robbed of 10 points with the so called Summer song! The brief never mentioned summer!!!

    That extra 9 points with one less for everyone else means I really finished 3rd

    :pac:

    I beg to differ, Eurovision - or in our case LeVar-ovision - is no laughing matter :pac:

    For me it is, because no matter the result, a song I like will be crowned the Winner... :D

    But yes you're right, it's a very serious affair, and should be treated as such...

    I'm delighted with second, so congratulations again. And thanks for the contest G&R, really enjoyed it and there's plenty of new and interesting music for me to listen to.

    When I saw Zaph had entered this Walrus I thought he might have chosen this too, and we'd end up with a duplicate! :p

    Congrats LeVar for yet another Walrus win (the Walrus guru at this stage!) and thanks G&R for running. :)
