    I feel asleep before the reveal began.

    Ah I like the Beasties but this tune gets so stuck in my head I cant help but enjoy it. In a maddening way.

    Define how the Triggometer works. What scoring categories do you use.

    Same! Thought I might have been pitching to the wrong audience with my choice and was dreading the wooden spoon. 11th place is as good as a podium finish for me here. Cheers Trig. :D

    Its very complex, a little too complex for people to understand..

    Ah no, I listen to each song at least 5 times. The first time is a straight up listen, then with the lyrics beside me, then again without to see how it find it again. Then I listen twice focusing on the music. Each time marking out of 10.. but its not a straight 1-10 could be 6.5 or 8.2 depending on different things, then I take the average of that

    Statutory Ape
    with NWA - 8 Ball Remix

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T27WbksKyFA


    Note: Its one of my favourites, probably why it came down a little bit here as i'm so used to listening to it. its old but gold. Brilliant choice here but unfortunately, the others are just stronger to me
