    Yeah expecting bottom three here too.. the only thing resembling something about Easter (vaguely) is the name in the title :pac:

    Does that mean no one entered Sweet Like Chocolate? :eek:
    I thought that was almost guaranteed to make it in

    Likewise, it's tenuous if I'm being generous :pac:
    It's also a song I didn't like initially but grew on me massively with time. That may not be a good walrus entry!

    Sure, god is everywhere, so must be in every song, right?!

    There really was only one song I could choose for Easter Sunday!

    Nathan Evans, Ant Mc Partlin & Declan Donnelly – Wellerman (Saturday Night Takeaway Version)







    Not sure if you’re all into Tik Tok or not but this appears to be the latest ‘fad’ that’s taken hold from the video sharing app. This went to the top of the list and was never moving – it’s bloody fantastic. What’s not to love? Sea Shanties? Check. Ant & Dec dancing with brooms? Check? It’s just amazing and I’m addicted to watching the video ever since it was sent to me :D A winner by a country mile of this category! Well done Spook!

    Thought I'd better see what all the fuss was about with the winner...

    I felt the same, top-2 not my cup of tea.
    But overall a very good and diverse list.

    Big shout-out to Kathleen: an amazing choice. I am familiar with Pachelbel's Canon in D Major because Brian Eno included it in his Discreet Music album, haven't heard it in ages though, so it was good to listen to it again.

    2025 gigs: Selofan, Alison Moyet, Wardruna, Gavin Friday, Orla Gartland, The Courettes, Scissor Sisters, Nine Inch Nails, Rhiannon Giddens, New Purple Celebration, Nova Twins

    I wasn't too harsh on the theme in this round either one way or the other tbh, it's a vague enough theme anyways so wasn't really strict on entries.

    Some that were on point with the theme scored very well, others... did not.

    Overall I really liked the Sunday playlist though, probably my second favourite of this Walrus (after Friday)

    I almost did but then i remember a chocolate themed dance tune that was more my level :)

    hopefully my love song got me a brownie point for at least fitting the brief :o :pac:

    Can you break that down sloooowly please

    Slight delay for the conclusion of Reberetta's Thirty Questions folks.

    If you're not at anything, it's worth the read though... simply fantastic.

    Childish Gambino – Zombies





    I’m afraid I just didn’t really like the singer’s voice here. The background music is ok, but yeah I just wasn’t gone on this at all.

    Land Before Time II – Eggs!





    This video ain’t on the playlists I’ll be posting as it won’t let me add it. Tbh, you’re not missing much. It’s a grand song about how the dinosaur likes to eat eggs. I do like music from animated films but this falls a little flat tbh. The sidekick’s voice is really really annoying and it’s all just a bit meh.

    Michelle Williams feat. Beyonce and Kelly Rowland – Say Yes





    This song is a bit cult-like, ‘When Jesus Says Yes, Nobody can Say No’ – grammar issues aside, I can’t quite buy what the girls are selling here. It’s a grand track but the chorus is just ridiculous

    Florence & The Machine – Rabbit Heart





    I really like Florence’s voice in all her tracks, very distinguishable. Yet I feel it’s a bit understated in this one? No bad thing but I’m a fan of her absolutely hammering home the choruses such as in Dog Days Are Over etc.

    Really wanted to like it but just never clicked with me. I'd have loved to have a track with Zombie in the title as the winner :pac:

    Gossip – Heavy Cross





    This one started pretty well, probably in or around the top 5 but with each listen lost a bit of steam. It’s a good listen, but once you’ve heard it once or twice there’s no real clamour to go back for it again I feel. Still, a decent effort.

    That's ok. We can't get it right all the time.





    And you haven't. You're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong! :pac: :pac:

    The National – Pink Rabbits





    A nice track, a bit slow for my tastes normally but I can appreciate the quality all the same. Enjoyed this one.
