    MEANING



    In 1st place with 16 points



    LeVar



    Florida Georgia Line ft. Nelly - Cruise (Remix)








    Perfect fit for this category, with added bonus of country :D This would have fitted in the summer category as well, I wonder how your actual entry will fare because this is very likely top 3 there… before I did preference listens of course. Deserving winner and a perfect track for cruising to in good weather, like today!

    Great choice! Well deserving of top spot.

    It's a traffic jam (hehe, driving round joke) at the top as Shane gets usurped by not one, not two - but THREE players who all join in the hunt for the win on 80 points each

    EN, cee_jay and ari now lead the way, but this far from over with Shane only two points behind and LeVar and Trigger within striking distance of the top as well.

    Down the bottom, the purple tin's big score here has closed the gap in the spoon race, he's only one point behind Deja Boo now...


    Three rounds to go, next up


    SCENE MUSIC!!


    Gonna do that category solo as it's definitely worth watching the songs alongside the scenes for each to see whether you agree/disagree with my choices tomorrow.


    Kicking off from 9pm with this one... then we will have our grand finale finish with a double round reveal probably Tuesday, but maybe later depending on other goings on in the forum...

    Was expecting to not still be doing so well over all :pac:

    If I was submitting now rather than back then it would be either of these:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD2a9YzKV3w


    Keeps coming in the radio when I'm in the car and I can't help bopping along.


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qp5vcuMIlk


    Not an Ed fan but might have been blasting it up the motorway when this was on the radio, the rhythm is great :D

    Maybe I'm better off sticking with The Killers :D

    So this was a new one for me. I really enjoyed making songs fit into the scenes provided by the fabulous Reberetta in their walrus previously so was looking forward to judging this round a lot.


    Here’s what I would have used for each scene…


    Star Wars









    Saving Private Ryan







    I personally thought the Star Wars scene was more difficult to get something to fit correctly, I’m not even that happy with my own but how did y’all fare?


    Find out tomorrow from 9pm!!

    I was pretty satisfied with my scene music pick, considering I was completely stumped by that round at first.....but I haven't seen either movie, so it may have been extremely ill-fitting with the rest of the film and I'd be none the wiser!

    Also Necro might simply hate it, but that's his problem. :p

    Well... what I will say in respect of the round is that I scored the song out of 10 and then how it fitted the scene (in my own opinion of course) out of 10 as well.

    So if I don't like the song but it fitted the scene it still could do very well in this round.

    Haha! My notes on this next round are probably the most extensive I've ever done for a Walrus round, to hopefully give y'all an insight into how I felt each one delivered... or didn't. :pac:

    Necro if it helps, for mine, please forget all about "Eurovision" and just think "Invasion in Europe"... there's a lot of the same letters in both, so it shouldn't be too hard... ;)

    Whoa whoa whoa, you said nothing about rating the song on its own merits! I've gone an picked another damn instrumental :o

    Incidentally, is there an easy way to overlay a song onto a video? I tried to pick one that fit but had to mess around with music on the speakers and the scene on the tele, I suspect I was being a luddite
