    Keith Urban - Long Hot Summer





    Just captures the overall vibe I was thinking about, probably better than most songs submitted tbh. As I said it was very close with the previous higher placed songs and this and in the end it came down to a gut call. This won out… JUST.

    Hahahaha this annoyed me when I did up the scores (the ties), but anyways I’m sticking with it – LeVar levels proceedings to join Electric Nitwit and ShaneU on 109 points!!!

    I could have jingled around the places but I honestly didn't think it was fair on any of the three guys at the top.

    Hollow Coves – Coastline







    I’m not sure why I’m not vibing on this song, I can’t quite put my finger on it. The title suits the category but the song itself sort of contradicts that? Moving far away to a sunny place he says, well he could be a bit happier about it!!!

    Homer finishes the proceedings on 67 points. A category win goes home with him though so he should not be disheartened. Really enjoyed some of your submissions.

    JP Liz V1



    Nicki Minaj - Starships







    This is a real guilty pleasure song of mine. I can’t help but enjoy it even though I really shouldn’t. Perfect for the category too, great choice.



    102 points in total for Liz. That’s a phenomenal run, well done and thank you for the entries!

    In 16th place with 1 point


    Barna77



    Astrud Gilberto, Joao Gilberto & Stan Getz - The Girl from Ipanema







    I get the summer vibe off this song surely, problem is it’s infuriatingly annoying. Your man can’t sing (cue Barna telling me he’s some sort of Spanish legend lol). It actually was growing on me a little with a few more listens but it’s far too long as well. 3 mins running time would be plenty for this imo.



    65 points for Barna. Not too shabby… well, we will always have Pure Shores, at least :o


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,306 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    AND our final First place, coming in with 16 points….



    Cee_jay



    DNCE - Cake By The Ocean








    Cracking summer song, it was close with the others at the top (Top 5 in particular) but this chorus just won out in the end, I love it. All together now YA YA YA YA YA AHHHHH, CAKE BY THE OCEAN!



    And cee_jay finishes up with 106 points… it’s close but no cigar unfortunately….

    I'll let wikipedia tell you :pac:

    João Gilberto (born João Gilberto Prado Pereira de Oliveira – Portuguese: [ʒuˈɐ̃w ʒiwˈbɛʁtu]; June 10, 1931 – July 6, 2019), was a Brazilian singer, songwriter, and guitarist, who was a pioneer of the musical genre of bossa nova in the late 1950s. Around the world he was often called "father of bossa nova"; in his native Brazil, he was referred to as "O Mito" ("The Legend").


    :D:D:D:D

    How could you put that song last :eek:

    It’s a three way tie in this Necrus Part THREE – they just couldn’t be split over the 10 rounds at the end of the day. Shane started incredibly well but EN and LeVar probably finished slightly stronger, they definitely needed to given it was looking like a runaway after a few rounds…
    Commiserations to ari who was so bloody close, Trigger and cee_jay weren't far off either only 3 and 4 points behind respectively.

    Congrats folks!

    Brilliant stuff as always Nec, very happy with my own showing and delighted you liked Late City Edition


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭ari101


    Thanks Necro! And congrats to the worthy winners :)

    This has been great fun, it's my first non quickfire walrus and I'm delighted with my score! :D
    (Well, it was my third long form Walrus to enter, but it's the first to finish revealing :pac:)

    I enjoyed it a lot and I picked up tips for future Walruses, though they are probably only Necro specific ;)

    Well done there lads, I don't think I ever seen a three-way finish before.
    Lovely spooning Boo, you gave me a real run for my money.
    Thanks biggley Necs, some of your scoring was quite em...eccentric as usual ;)

    Cheers for running Necro, great fun as always, humbled to be getting another win under my belt, and glad to be sharing it with such esteemed company. Congrats again to Shane and EN.

    Congrats to everyone though, cracking tunes throughout the entire Walrus, and discovering new music is the goal, so kudos to all...

    Congrats to all the winners, fair play Necro you had a lot of songs to listen to but some brilliant songs were entered

    Took a bit of a risk with that summer one, I hadn't chosen anything yet and randomly heard that tune on an Instagram video (my first time ever hearing it) and decided it was nice enough to give it an airing. Definitely gives me "calm summer night on a beach with a few friends" vibe, but obviously not for the guy who thinks Mellow Yellow is depressing! :p

    Thank you for running and putting so much work into it. Also thank you for giving me a category win...and for not putting me dead last in any category. :pac: Among my many poor showings I'm actually most bothered by the Garbage one tbh; such disrespect to Shirley Manson should not be tolerated. :mad: But your appreciation of Ally McBeal makes up for it somewhat! :)

    And of course congratulations to the three joint winners.

    So I need EN and LeVar to both finish bottom three, that ain't happening.

    Not mad about the low scoring songs but I came third in the video game round to the Mortal Kombat theme (which is from the movie not the games!) and a freaking random Placebo song!

    Excuse me, that "freaking random" Placebo song was from the finest automobile racing challenge of the turn of the millennium, thank you very much. :mad:

    This was actually gonna be my original entry for that category (it's on the soundtrack to one of the GTA games, apparently) until I decided to go with something I had actually played. Which did not leave me with many options.
