LeVar's Stocking Fillers - Quickfire Walrus: The Un-Wrappening

I sense this will be a more controversial decision than Swift-gate in Round 1

Cardi B feat. Megan Thee Stallion - WAP
I had heard this amidst all the "controversy" when it was released, and didn't think the lyrics were any more controversial than most rap songs, I just thought it was a fairly mediocre song and hadn't listened to it since, so wasn't expecting it to do very well here. Happy to say I was wrong and it's a really fun song, and would definitely have me up throwing some shapes in the club, ya know if I still went to clubs - been more than a few years since I've bothered with a nightclub, when late bars do the trick just fine.0 -
Coulter Wall is excellent, saw him at EP a couple of years ago

The Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar
I only have a vague recollection of this one, had definitely heard it before as I have listened to The Chemical Brothers Singles album at least a couple of times, but certainly never appreciated it in the past. Really really liked it anyway and a solid pick, but just got overshadowed by some of the other songs.
I think star guitar needs to be accompanied by a good lights show, chewing gum and a baseball cap0 -

The Commodores - Brick House
Can certainly picture myself strutting my way to the dancefloor as this pumps out over the soundsystem. Feck it, forget about the dancefloor, I'm already strutting about the house grooving out to this funky number. Really enjoyed it, some great CHOONS in the round overall though, so not easy to place, and it found itself towards the back of the pack unfortunately.0 -

Tiga feat. Jake Shears - You Gonna Want Me
Never heard of Tiga before, but I know Jake Shears from the Scissor Sisters alright. Really enjoyed this, it grew on me with each listen, and started leapfrogging its way up the table every time I heard it. Great beat to it and would definitely have me out throwing a few shapes on the dancefloor for sure. Solid choice once again.0 -

An Emotional Fish - Celebrate
Won't be much celebrating going on for the emotional fish or khalessi with this placement. I do like it, but it can't really compete with the songs that ranked above it. I know the song well, but never been ever excited by it all that much. For the category that’s in it, it just didn't really work for me, but not a bad song by any means.0 -
In 3rd place with 20 points isGreen&Red
Noisettes - Never Forget You
One of the last big night's out I had back earlier this year, aka. a million years ago, I did actually get up dancing to this song, and it definitely is an absolute CHOON as far as I'm concerned. Just a fantastic song from beginning to end, really solid choice, and worthy of a podium place in this round for sure.0 -
In 21st place with 2 points isSephiroth_dude
Casiopea - Galactic Funk
This was certainly different and interesting. Enjoyed it, but again, doesn't necessarily excite me very much. Great '80s vibe to it, also reminds me a lot of Super Mario, but it just didn't pop in the same way a lot of the other songs in this round did for me. If I was in an arcade or at the amusements, I'd really enjoy if something like this was blasting in the background though.0 -
In 2nd place with 21 points isthe purple tin
Los Bitchos - Pista (Great Start)
Absolutely adored this one from the very first listen, got in to the groove straight away and it was one I very much looked forward to every time it came to giving this category another listen. I actually didn't even notice until the second or third listen that there's no lyrics, I was so entranced by the groove. Finally, the curse is broken, we've stumbled upon a song we can both absolutely agree is 100% certified CHOON!!!0 -

I’d forgotten all about the noisettes until someone else picked them in a walrus. Saw them in vicar st a good few years ago and the atmosphere was class0 -
Somebody has to be last unfortunately, and getting 1 points isReberetta
Prince - Can't Stop This Feeling I've Got
I usually like most Prince songs, but this one doesn't really do much for me, not bad or anything, but I'd probably be inclined to skip ahead to his other songs if I was listening to Prince's discography, and for this category in particular it just didn't work for me at all really.0 -

Maniac and WAP finished ahead of this classic?? It's an outrage!!!0 -

Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)
Honestly if you were to look up the definition of the word CHOON in the dictionary on Urban Dictionary, I wouldn't be least bit surprised if You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) was used as an example. And if you looked at a list of my favourite/most-played songs of all-time you'd undoubtedly find this on that too. If Walrus was a video game (and it clearly should be) by going for this one you've essentially stumbled upon a cheat code to advance straight to the boss level and increased your odds of winning tenfold.0 -
After three exhausting days for me, and a closely fought battle between you lot, it is JohnGreenFan who walks away the winner of this not-so-festive Christmas Walrus...
Irish Aris was only a point behind in 2nd, and a solid finish for Deleted User in the final round sees him take 3rd and rounding off the podium.
On the other end of things its Sephiroth_dude who is awarded the wooden spoon. At least you still get a prize for your first Walrus, and please don't be dissuaded to enter more Walruses because of me (anyone who's been knocking about here for awhile will tell you my opinion sucks and they all hate me...

Thanks everyone for playing, hope you enjoyed it, I certainly did and discovered some great tunes.
Be sure to check out any other Walruses (not sure if there are any open at the moment, but I think Reberetta is next in line, so if we ask really nicely, maybe there'll be a new Sign-Up thread coming soon) and all the other Forum Games, sure you all know the drill at this stage.
All that's left to say is...

Great reveal and fair play getting it out so fast
I have no idea what day it is and I'm functioning on very little sleep, but it was worth it, was a lot of fun.LeVar, thank you, so enjoyable and done super fast, I've discovered some great new choons
Sure that's the main thing. As long as people are walking away with some new discoveries it's all worth it.the purple tin wrote: »Well done there JGF.
That's some nice spooning Seph, I was sure I had it in my grasp.
Thanks for the quickie LB, most enjoyable
Apologies for making it seem like you were really gonna be in the Bottom Three again in that last round, but I couldn't resist the dramatics, and that was a cracking choice for the last one. Finally we're in sync... 0
