PJ's Odobenus rosmarus reveal

Biology - Girls Allowed; Nice pop song. There's something about pop groups where being attractive is just as important (if not more important) than musical talent that has never sat well with me. I'll always respect less than Adonis musicians over their more beautiful compatriots. Girls Allowed have largely passed me by as a result but I did enjoy this. I really like the "the way that we walk, the way that we talk" at the climax of the song for some reason.

All Summer Long - Kid Rock; This bastardisation. Mish mash of Sweet Home Alabama and Werewolves in London with that oh so coveted Kid Rock flavouring. I think this fits the guilty pleasure moniker quite well as I absolutely hated it at first but it did grow on me too.
6th place and 13 points forElectric Nitwit0 -
Africa - Toto; I feel like this is the third time this has appeared in this Walrus. Still a great tune.
5th place and 14 points forPretzill0 -
Life is a Flower - Ace of Base; Not gonna lie. I went down an Ace of Base rabbit hole after listening to this. I had completely forgotten they existed. My older sister was mad into them growing up. So many of their songs are so familiar. I had no idea they were Swedish. A really nice pop group.

This is my highest Walrus score to date; not sure if I should be pleased or mildly offended?
Glad you enjoyed it anyway.
Fun fact: one of the male members of Ace of Base was a neo Nazi; he later renounced his beliefs and apologised, but it hasn't stopped people looking for hidden Nationalist Socialist themes in their songs!0 -

Will MrKingsley come dead last? Will Ectoplasm come first to take the title?
I think we both know the answer to that one

Party in the USA - Miley Cyrus; I've never really listened to any Miley Cyrus. This sounds familiar though. Nice pop song.
3rd place and 16 points forBarney920 -
For The Longest Time (Billy Joel) - Barbershop Quartet; I don't really get the barbershop thing if I'm being honest. It's impressive to see live, but it's a bit of a novelty. There hasn't been one song that's made it any of my playlists. I listened to this a lot of times hoping the penny would drop but alas.

Airplanes - B.o.B.; Just not into this genre at all. Rap/Rnb/Pop fusion. Whatever you want to call it. Rhianna made a whole career out of songs that sound identical to this. Not my bag, sorry.
17th place and 2 points forNecro
Apologies Necro. We clearly have different taste in music. I expect nothing less than the wooden spoon in yours :P0 -
Cake - Flo Rida, 99 Percent; Jaysus hated this on first listen. Didn't hugely improve. Again, not my genre at all.
18th place and 1 points fortusk0 -

Love Yourself - Justin Bieber; I may have name dropped Bieber when mentioning this category. I absolutely love this song and this album in fact. I found it utterly bizarre when I found myself eventually listening to the king of the teeny boppers. Goes to show you shouldn't feel guilty about liking anything. A good song is a good song.
2nd place and 17 points forMrKingsley
Quite a low result for you Kingsley, your slipping.0 -
We Are Never Getting Back Together - Taylor Swift; I love that "Ever ever ever" hook. I should probably give Taylor Swift a proper listen as I've liked a few of her songs. Her lyrics are hilariously specific considering she had a few high profile relationships. Great pop song.

Cheers for the game PJ.
Voting down Traffic over Adagio though is an unforgivable sin I cannot let go :P
Well done MrKingsley

I enjoyed it Mick. I think you should host a Walrus at some stage, I'd say the categories and the rankings could be very interesting Moderator: Current Affairs/IMHO, Soccer, Pro Wrestling, State Benefits

Cheers for running PJ and well done to Kingsley and Ecto.
Think I got myself third place so I'm happy with that
It's clearly the taking part that counts...
Right?

Big congrats to MrKingsley for a very impressive score of 95 out of a max 108. Congrats Ecto for a very strong showing in second place. And congrats Necro for an impressive margin of "victory" in the chase for the wooden spoon.
And of course, most importantly, big thanks to partyjungle for hosting. My first time playing Walrus and I really enjoyed it. 0 -

That is disgracefully high scoring, you should be ashamed PJ
Just typing that I realised I should have entered this...
Thanks for hosting Duncan 0
