    “Weird" Al Yankovic - Amish Paradise


    Yeah…… I can’t understand how ‘weird’ Al makes money. He can’t sing, and he spends his time ripping the piss out of mostly decent tracks. The original would have actually scored incredibly well here… this pisstake cover… nope, not for me unfortunately. Scores slightly higher than the other two because tbf the title at least is sort of clever.


    I have a feeling though this is going to be a divisive decision mind :pac:

    Nearly submitted this for this round, thankfully went in another direction, but great pick Sawduck.

    Jimmy Buffet - The Asshole Song



    Oof, I really didn’t like any of the bottom 3 tbh. The title is clever-ish… until you realise he literally just sings about Assholes for the entire song… yeah. It’s a no from me but thanks for the entry

    Deja Boo


    Hillbilly Bone - Blake Shelton


    This is a great choice!! The edge of comedy combined with one of my fave country artists. Match made in heaven. Tune is a brilliant one too, just try not to bop along with it, I dare y’all. Title is very clever too imo.

    Hooo boy. I do not like Kanye. I think he’s an absolute dickhead and his music is horribly over-rated. That said I’m gonna try and be objective here… Nope, can’t do it. This is awful. Really bad.

    AC/DC - Got You By The Balls






    There was a minor spoiler in the opening blurb (not that anyone reads em lol) for this category but yeah, this song is just head and shoulders above everything else. Brilliant, witty title and a banging track to boot. You know exactly what you’re getting with this song before you even turn it on. Powerful lyrics, rocking guitar, and head bopping. Brilliant choice.

    This is the most AC/DC-tastic walrus ever :cool:

    I've just remembered Big Balls! Would have suited this round perfectly.

    Trashcan Sinatras - Weightlifting


    This is the part about Indie I don’t really like unfortunately. There’s a lot of ooohs and aaahhs, as many as you would have in a Westlife song but somehow because they have instruments they’re better? Nah.. not for me. Sorry.

    Osh



    Pavement - Summer Babe (Winter Version)




    This is much better admittedly, there’s the old skool indie vibe I’m getting. But as I’ve blathered on about before, the lyrics and voice really let this song down imo. The beat is good, the voice just isn’t…

    I was really vibing this, again until your man started singing. I just find it very sleep inducing.

    Admittedly I was never a big fan of Suede if I’m completely honest. This isn’t awful by any stretch but it just isn’t my thing.

    Walk The Moon - Shut Up and Dance




    I actually loved this song when it came out. Unfortunately at a local fundraiser ‘Stars In Your Eyes’ night I was subjected to some moron who absolutely butchered it and now I can’t listen to it without being reminded of that terrible, terrible night. So sadly entrant, you are a victim of unfortunate circumstance.
