    James Vincent McMorrow - Be Somebody





    This song was so close to getting top 3 but for a final few listens to the category. Really enjoyed this entry.

    ShaneU



    Fontaines D.C. - A Lucid Dream






    Yeah I just didn’t like this one… it just came across as a lot of noise to me unfortunately.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    In 3rd place with 14 points


    Kolido



    Enya - Only Time





    This is just amazing. I’m normally not gone on the more spiritual, slow pace tracks but I do make exceptions, and here’s a perfect example. Brilliant.

    In 15th place with 2 points


    Deja Boo



    Cathal Dunne - Will You Link Your Arms With Me







    Couldn’t get into this one at all unfortunately. Just a fairly monotone track. Message is good I guess but there's better out there imo.

    Trigger



    Late City Edition - Slow it down







    Great track this, the start is deceptive in thinking you’re in for a low key track but it’s a decent bop. Really enjoyed it.

    The purple tin



    Horslips - Faster Than The Hound








    See I’m familiar with Horslips but not this track. Just didn’t enjoy this one at all. Faster than the Hound? Is the hound crawling along the floor, near death? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,553 ✭✭✭✭Trigger


    Nope :pac:

    JP Liz V1



    Stephanie Rainey - No Cowboy








    This is easily the best song submitted, there’s a proper huge artist vibe off the track despite me never having heard of her in my life. Great voice, great arrangement. Loved it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,485 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Yay I'm numero uno finally

    I recommend Stephanie (a Cork artist) to everyone, she has a good few tracks, very talented

    It's ARI101 who leads going into the final round.... 4 points clear of ShaneU in second place.

    It gets very congested though with Electric Nitwit and Trigger in joint 3rd one further point back on 96.

    LeVar is a further point off on 95 and cee_jay is just about still in the mix on 90 points... she would need a lot of things to fall her way though...

    Down the bottom the battle for the spoon will go to the last round too, a single point seperating Deja Boo and the purple tin....

    Summer songs will decide the winner of this Walrus after a tough battle throughout the previous 9 rounds.

    Ah boll*x, that's quite a height to have to fall from... and what is the last category again??? :eek: :confused: :pac:

    Editing me: ok Summer songs... new question, wft did I submit??? :eek: :confused: :pac:


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Ah the summer, the time of year where you wind the windows down and show off your farmers tans whilst cruising to the beach. Or spend ages blowing up a pool in your back garden with only the wind in your lungs because your electronic pump got broken. Stuff like that. Some songs that speak to me regarding summertime…. (In remix form just to annoy everyone :P )














    Right let’s get started here, 6 people still with a legit shot at the title – who will prevail? Lettuce find out!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,553 ✭✭✭✭Trigger

    Irish Aris


    Blondie – Fun





    That's right, no spoilers this time, your names are going in bright lights folks!!!

    Very fun tune this, not sure it’s a summery one? I guess it is given how upbeat it is. Nothing wrong with it, again I struggled finding reasons to rank songs in this round given the quality. Most... MOST of the songs I really enjoyed as is evident from this...

    That means Aris finishes up with a very cool showing and 66 points in total, thank you for your entries!!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    In 12th place with 5 points


    Kolido


    Duke Dumont - Ocean Drive







    Not great, not awful. Perfectly acceptable track imo. About here is right for it. Again the only thing that’s really massively summery about this to me is the title.


    Kolido had an excellent run, a couple of top 3 hits and a category win in the 90s... but also some that weren’t as popular.
    A grand total of 80 points to Kol!

    Deja Boo


    Pontoon – Little Big Town





    I can dig this. Definitely some cool summer feeling off this. Video oozes cool too. Nice choice!


    52 points for Deja, definitely not to be sniffed at – thanks for your entries Boo Boo :D


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    In 10th place with 7 points


    Ari101


    Matoma & Becky Hill - False Alarm






    I initially had this ranked really low but on repeated listens it started to climb a little bit. I’m still not sure exactly how I feel about the track fitting the category (the beat is fairly nifty tbf) but here is a fair position for it, imo anyways. It has a nice vibe to it, might have done well in the driving round actually!


    That score puts ari out in front on 108 points… will it be enough to claim the title?

    Sawduck



    Zara Larsson - Lush Life








    Ah yes, I knew of this song prior to it being submitted but didn’t know who sang it. Rihanna-esque in parts. Very cool, very summery. Good choice!


    68 points for Sawduck, a very good showing indeed! Always enjoy your entries of different variety, thanks for playing!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    In 8th place with 9 points



    Trigger



    Rhythm is a dancer - SNAP!







    Cracking club classic, yeah this is definitely a summery vibe. Nice choice but it’s a bit overplayed I think.


    105 points total for Trigger, putting him in second place overall for now. A fantastic showing with some brilliant entries.

    ari101 is still hanging on in there though....

    The Faces - Ooh la la





    I actually have heard of a purple tin submission! WHAT IS GOING ON??? :eek: Great old track this. Strumming out on the porch and your mates singing along to this with a few brewskis in hand type summery.


    57 points for the purple tin. Some were hot… others… were not. :P Thank you for playing though!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    In 6th place with 11 points


    Necrina


    Owl City, Carly Rae Jepsen - Good Times







    Yeah definitely heading in the right direction summer feeling wise. Another choon this entry!



    Necrina hits 97 points in her second ever Walrus. It won’t be enough to win but it’s a very good effort. Thanks for playing and hopefully you enjoyed it!

    ShaneU



    Supergrass - Alright







    I mean what more can you ask for in a summer song? This is such a classic. I’m still not sure if I made the correct decision in the ranking of this and the next three. All on a par and just had to go with my gut :/



    Things just got interesting… ShaneU takes the lead by a solitary point – 109 points in total!!

    Hard luck ari...

    Electric Nitwit



    Light and Day - The Polyphonic Spree





    Just love this track, when it was used in Scrubs that time it was so perfect and I’ve been in love ever since. So tough to place this given the quality at the top of the rankings. That Scrubs scene fyi….






    Wellity well… EN levels proceedings with Shane and finishes on 109 points… could it be a tie at the top of the Walrus table?


    tenor.gif


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,941 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    So I need EN and LeVar to both finish bottom three, that ain't happening.

    Not mad about the low scoring songs but I came third in the video game round to the Mortal Kombat theme (which is from the movie not the games!) and a freaking random Placebo song!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    And for the final time it brings us to our final 6…..

    Homer J. Fong

    Barna77

    And of course….

    Queens of the Stone Age - Feel Good Hit of the Summer







    Not sure what’s so ‘Feel Good’ about this? Seems like all the bad things rolled into a big ball and repeated ad infinitum. It’s a no from me.



    71 points for fix, it’s not in the challenging places but it’s a very good score nonetheless.
