I mean I have a DVD of me as the dame in the last panto we did, will that suffice?

JP Liz V1 · 22-01-2021 09:40PM

Build Me Up Buttercup always reminds me of Something About Mary

I thought Sweet Caroline would make an appearance.

And no wonderwall either!

Congrats Osh and great reveal JGF. Happy enough with mid table considering I went with a pretty generic song.

Dirty Old Town and Wind Beneath My Wings notably absent too.

Rikand · 23-01-2021 06:28PM

I knew I was in trouble in this round after the first round

I like singing this one because I can sing it nice and low and nobody can hear my terrible voice

Necro · 23-01-2021 06:29PM

Shoulda gone with Stacey's Mom Rikand

My friends dad, you mean

That would have done so well here, I love that song

Oh Arghus that's a class choice, I've done that one a few times too

Yep, I just love how he's absolutely killed out by the end of it - can barely croak a hello.

Top marks to Rikand for Freak on A Leash:

BOOMNADANOOMNANAMENA

You probably all thought that this walrus was dead and gone... never to be revived.

But it returns.
JohnGreenFan's Walrus Round 3 returns tonight: 7pm.

See you all then!

I had assumed this was...

I'm more worried about tusk though, did we all do too well on the "A song that will make me cry" round and break him?

ShaneU · 28-03-2021 05:22PM

I've been in a coma since the last Walrus reveal

JohnGreenFan · 28-03-2021 05:31PM

Just over 30 minutes until we kick off with Round 3: First Dance Songs.
A tough round, with a good mix of songs I knew and songs I was unfamiliar with!

A few of my own personal favourite choices that I might have entered in this round...

Better - Tom Baxter

Simply The Best - Noah Reid

Ray Montagne - You Are The Best Thing

Tauriel · 28-03-2021 05:40PM

I have no idea what I submitted

JohnGreenFan · 28-03-2021 05:50PM

Interestingly enough I had actually ranked all these songs back in January but never finished the writeups. People will fare VERY differently now than they would have back in January...

JohnGreenFan · 28-03-2021 06:02PM

Let's get this started!

Kicking off round 3 and in 11th place with 11 points is:

Rikand

True Companion – Marc Cohn

Have I listened to this artist before? Yes
Have I listened to this song before? No

This is a really nice song, good rhythm to it. Not sure why I was reminded of Bruce Springsteen a little bit with the opening. Love the piano going through it. I would only be familiar with Walking in Memphis from Marc Cohn. It’s nice but I found it a tiny bit repetitive – but lovely nonetheless.

Rikand · 28-03-2021 06:02PM

What was round 3 again ?

-edit-

Ah, I know now

JohnGreenFan · 28-03-2021 06:04PM

In 12th place with 10 points is:

Mustang shelly

The Voyage – Christy Moore

Have I listened to this artist before? Yes
Have I listened to this song before? Yes

Is this a great song? Absolutely. Is it a first dance song? Ummmm… I don’t know.

It’s a lovely song but I feel like you just can’t dance to Christy Moore. Christy is for quiet rooms at 3am and everyone holding a glass of whiskey and swaying back and forth. Silent appreciation of a master. Not a first dance.

In 10th place with 12 points is:

Cyndi Lauper – Time After Time

Have I listened to this artist before? Yes
Have I listened to this song before? Yes

Such a beautiful song – love Cyndi Lauper’s voice. Overfamiliarity hurt its placing a small bit. I’m not sure it would be an easy one to dance to. I’m a rubbish dancer but that will become apparent over the rounds - apparently it's hard to find a song I can dance to!

In 13th place with 9 points is:

Irish Aris

Everything – Michael Buble

Have I listened to this artist before? Yes
Have I listened to this song before? Yes

Michael Buble is such an easy pick for these kinds of rounds, and this song in particular suffers from a little bit of overfamiliarity when it features on just about every First Dance playlist on Spotify. Nice easy song to dance to though, lovely rhythm to it.

JohnGreenFan · 28-03-2021 06:10PM

In 9th place with 13 points is

phatkev

Higher and Higher – Otis Redding

Have I listened to this artist before? Yes
Have I listened to this song before? Yes

We’re all familiar with my love for a good bop and this one has definitely got a chorus which scores high on the bop-o-meter!! Excellent choice, maybe one for just after the first dance to get everyone else out on the floor. I’d more be familiar with the Jackie Wilson version and I think I’d still prefer that version to this one.

fixXxer · 28-03-2021 06:11PM

No Bublé!!
