It was the Judie Tzuke version I linked to you - it's a few years older before she got together with Julia etc...not to worry...same song just better imo, if anyone wants to check it out.
I am very sorry about that Pretzill. On spotify I typed in her name and that was the song that came up. That is sloppy on my behalf. Sorry again

So in 7th place picking up 9 points isOSHwith this absolute dinger.........(not for the first time my partner in crime doesn't agree!)
It's Blackalicious with "Make You Feel That Way"
Barney's Comments: Interesting start. I do like this one, but like another in this category the bit I don't like is the actually song title in the song. I don't like the repeating of make you feel that way.
Kingsley's Comments: Yes oh yes oh yes. I love Blackalicious and this song in particular.
So a little story here from me. A friend of mine used to make me a mixtape every summer of music that he thought I would like. This was on one of the first ones and turned me onto the band instantly. He is still my best friend and this song reminds of him whenever I hear it. Thanks to the sender!0 -
And in 6th place and scoring double figure 10 points isMicksJagwith "Let It Go" from Frozen
Barney's Comments: I am quite a big Frozen fan, yet to see the second one. Every time I hear this I think oh not this again but then she starts to belt it out and I get into it and sing along with Adele Nazeem
. Solid entry.
Kingsley's Comments: Very nice choice here. I've never seen the film but this may convince me to do so. Marks only taken off for the singers voice irritating me slightly.0 -
Getting towards the business end of things now and scoring a juicy 11 points for a 5th place finish isLevar Burtonwith "Edge of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks.
Barney's Comments: What a start to a song. Cracking choice. I do enjoy this chorus but like one or two other entries I go cold on the singer's voice the longer the song goes on.
Kingsley's Comments: Oh yes Stevie, sing it. Sing it is right. Excellent choice here. No more needs to be said.0 -
And in the final spot before the podium picking themselves up a handy 12 points isGnRwith "Miss You" by Commixxxx (not sure how many x's there actually is)
Barney's Comments: Can't say I love the beat but I do like the few spoken lyrics that are in it. I think they fit the theme very well.
Kingsley's Comments: Right so this is my favorite song of the entire Walrus. I absolutely love it. Quite simple really but so effective. It had me welling up listening to it the first time the girl starts speaking on the answering machine. It reminds me of someone too.....
This could also have been put into the Study category and scored full marks from myself. Thank you for bringing this song into my life sender!!0 -

Love this song great choice, surprised it's not higher 0 -

So kicking off the bottom 3 isEctoplasmwith "You Needed Me" by Anne Murray.
Barney's Comments: This is a moving number. It's not my usual type of song but it is a good one.
Kingsley's Comments: I like this song but it just doesn't have enough to it for me to mark it any higher.0 -
And in second-to-last place isSpookwith Cecelia by Simon and Garfunkel
Barney's Comments: Oh I haven't heard this song in years. It is one of the few entries here that I knew before hand because of of my relative's friends was called Cecelia. We'd sing the chorus of this pretty much any time she came up in conversation. It's not my favourite song but I think it is catchy.
Kingsley's Comments: Funnily enough this definitely reminds me and Barney of a lady called Cecilia. Unfortunately this is a song that I simply do not like.0 -
And picking up the Wooden Spoon along with a solitary point isTusk(.........apparently we are wrong again) with the choice of I'm An Albatraoz by Aaron Chupa.
Barney's Comments: One of my friends was a big fan of this one so I've heard it a fair bit. Unfortunately that is not a very good thing for this song, because it was never my favourite.
Kingsley's Comments: Hmmmmm. I really don't like this song. Used to be forced to listen to it relentlessly in work. Unfortunately not enough time has passed to heal those wounds.0 -

So on to the top 3 and beginning it with 13 points isTriggerwith "One More Light" by Linkin Park
Barney's Comments: The only Linkin Park song I know is numb/encore so I wasn't expecting this. I really like this one but the singer's voice is a bit grating as the song goes on.
Kingsley's Comments: Have a serious soft spot for Linkin Park. This wouldn't have been my favorite song of theirs but it really is a moving number. Especially so considering how Chester took his own life less than two months after this was released.0 -

Ah two great tracks holding up the bottom of the pack. It's a tough round (but Let it go?? beat these
It must be a generational thing 
)
Must be Pretzill!
To be fair 11 out of the 15 songs scored at least 10/15 from me. I really enjoyed this round. Even the songs that I 'didnt' like still arent the worst. There were no stinker scores from me.0 -

In second place with this absolute beaut isPriscawith "Titld" by Christine and the Queens.
Barney's Comments: I've entered a Christine and the Queens song before in a Walrus so it's like someone has done their homework. Methusalah in a song, fair play Christine. I really like this song, it would have got top marks if the french version had been entered but it's still done pretty well.
Kingsley's Comments: Love the band and the song. Anything with a bit of french in it will score well with me anyway!0 -
-
And in top spot, raking in a whopper 15 points and all of the plaudits isPhatKevwith Sampha and "(No One Knows Me) Like The Piano"
Barney's Comments: I was excited for this just by the title. I love a good piano piece. This one is so gentle. I'd never heard of the artist before but he's got quite the voice. Just a lovely song.
Kingsley's Comments: Well this is just beautiful. Hadn't heard it before and went straightaway to try an learn it on the piano. I am getting there slowly but surely. A very close second for me.0 -

Lovely round - some real treats in there and I'm looking forward to listening back. Thanks Barney and Mr K! Nice reveal - Will we have to wait until next year for the rest?
I would say so. Barney will be looking after it but I am holding the whole thing up to be honest. Just working non stop the last (and next) few days.0 -

Nice. 11 points - my best round so far.
My backup choice for this category would've been Radioactive by Imagine Dragons, because it reminds me of a Stripper in Portland that I became friends with... Good times...
Figured the song was probably a bit too mainstream and overplayed though.

This "song that reminds you" was the category I struggled with too much to enter; the only true answer I could think of was the song played at my Nan's funeral (twelve years ago, so not a recent bereavement or anything) but I would have really hated to see it potentially score badly, given the sentimental value. And I didn't just wanna make something up, as that really isn't in the spirit of the game, so I ended up passing; in hindsight possibly a bit over-sensitive about it as I've enjoyed thinking about what I might have picked for the other categories.
Very interesting seeing everyone else's responses to this one. Edge of Seventeen is an absolute belter; by pure coincidence I was actually just thinking about that song before I opened the thread! Lots of others that I'm not familiar with but look forward to listening to. 0 -

Which means that coming in at the top of the podium isTED_YNWA, earning 15 points, with their selection of Walk of Life by the Dire Straits
Barney's Comments: Oh yes, oh yes! Fair play whoever entered this. What a cracker. The intro alone is enough to get me into a good mood and it doesn't stop once the singing comes in.
This song makes me smile
Kingsley's Comments: Yes, yes and YES! Whenever i'm finishing a late shift of serving drunks and it is time to start cleaning this song (as well as Sultans of Swing) are my go-tos to put me in a happy place and forget about all the rotten work that I am about to do. Perfect choice. Only taking a mark off because I have heard it so many times.
Excellent winner. Used to love the video as a kid0 -

So first up is Spook_ie with "Flash, Bang Whallop” from Half A Sixpence. For this they scored14 points, their best performance thus far.
Barney's Comments: Jaunty entry, that'll do well with me. Very clever song. I think it might grate on me if I heard it a lot, but a magical number every now and then. Never heard of this musical before but would like to see it now. Strong ending for a musical number too.
Kingsley's Comments: This will do very nicely. Great choice. I could actually see myself and Barney singing and clapping along to this. Beautifully layered.

Necro with "To Life" from Fiddler on the Roof is next on the list. They score12 pointsin this round in their desperate scramble to stay off the bottom of the pile.
Barney's Comments: I really like the rhythm to this. First one I'd heard of before, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. At times it reminds me a bit of Zorba the Greek.
Kingsley's Comments: This is nice and mad. Another one that I can really see myself enjoying in a live show. The chorus is great and the tempo changes really get me going. I can imagine quite the dancing number taking place during the middle act.

Necro’s good score might scare Necrina but their entry of "I’m On My Way" from Paint Your Wagon was enough to notch9 pointsand stay above Necro and avoid last place.
Barney's Comments: Interesting intro to this one. This is an upbeat number and put a nice smile on my face. I don't think it's a great song but I did enjoy it.
Kingsley's Comments: This is a nice and cheery number so it is. Bopping away to this nicely. Nice choice. Maybe thats whys theres a few points taken off. Its nice but not a lot more for me.

Pretzill came into this round just outside the bottom three and with11 pointsfor "Mein Herr" by Liza Minnelli, it looks like they'll manage to avoid the bottom three.
Barney's Comments: I like the intro to the singer in this song. However, I wasn't really that into it until the last minute or so. Thought it really kicked into high-gear then. Just took a bit long to get there for me.
Kingsley's Comments: This is exactly the type of song I was hoping for when Barney suggested this category. Love the changes in tempo, the singer and could just picture myself clapping along to this in the audience. Really love it. Top of the pops for me0 -
