    Surprisingly tough already. Gonna go with...

    Who's in the House - because it's an original and Irish, and not just a fun cover, and is probably the only thing Brendan O'Connor has done that doesn't automatically make me want to punch his smug stupid face.

    And unsurprisingly, mainly because you're the first vote Who's in the house takes a 1-0 lead

    Have you announced in the original thread that this has begun Spook? I'd go throw in the link myself, but far too complicated to do from my phone.

    Aren't they pretty similar, anyway at the moment were eliminating 7 songs that don't deserve to go through to a 64 tune playoff be that because they aren't funny, aren't original, generally crap or whatever.

    All songs have charted in either UK or Irish or Both charts, these are to eliminate 7 songs to get down to a nice round 64 before the real shenanigans start..

    Love the Muppets (@Necro, YOU HAVE NO SOUL :mad: ) but Who's In The House wins my vote for this round. It's cringe but it's funny cringe rather than just cringe cringe.

    Don't Forget Your Shovel because everyone knows the words and can't help but sing along at a session. Also, the other song will give me nightmares forever now - never even heard of it before.

    Disco Duck Got as high as No 6 and in the UK charts for 9 weeks, no where in Ireland though

    Don't Forget Your Shovel got as high as No5 in the Irish Charts and in the charts for 7 weeks co incidently did nothing in the UK charts

    that duck song is the most cringeworthy song I've seen/listened to in a long time.

    christy is decent and memorable song, a decent song. why are you people voting for it?

    vote for: disco duck

    I think our criteria for voting may be vastly different. Don't Forget Your Shovel is a funny song, it's also a good song. I want to vote for good songs that also happen to be fun or cringey, because I don't want to see absolute sh**e dominate this competition. :rolleyes:

    Are we voting for the song which we preferred, was more artistic, or made us cringe the most?

    Can see a lot of aggro with votes being cast for the wrong song. (This isn't necessarily a bad thing as I have been suffering from withdrawals since Omackeral last ran 'Best of')

    Anyway, I vote for The Duck song was so cringe I bet it inspired acts of actual violence.
