    I Will Always Love You – Whitney Houston

    Had to decide if this was worthy of a confession-esque track initially but I left it down to the entrants as music is so subjective. And to be honest, I sort of agree that nowadays it does seem to be a track for the confessional, almost in spite of it being arguably one of the strongest female vocal tracks ever produced… Anyways I love it, or will always love it – to be apt :P

    Bogey Lowenstein

    Asereje – Las Ketchup

    This was one song I unfortunately (well for Bogey anyways) never got the hype over even though I will admit I may have busted out the dance once or twice in the past…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,016 ✭✭✭jluv


    Looks like you're wrong Molly!

    I have never heard that song before but it's hysterical 😂

    Gave a quick listen but will definitely go back to it..

    It’s Not Goodbye – Laura Pausini

    Never heard of this song before it’s submission. Absolutely adore it now. Sadly it does not appear to be on Spotify so you all have to deal with the YouTube version! Also have made a note to watch Legends of the Fall based off this, one of those movies that slipped through the cracks… even though it’s not even from that movie :pac:

    I Believe in Joe Hendry – Joe Hendry

    I’m a wrestling fan and all and I… just… I don’t get it. Why do I believe in Joe Hendry? And what’s with the ridiculous key shift mid way through a one minute (and 13 secs) track? So you can take it that I DON’T believe in Joe Hendry based off this short review.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,937 ✭✭✭Mollyb60


    It strongly reminds me of Eurovision tat which I know Necro likes. And this is the exact kind of nonsense song my husband loves and plays regularly (massive fan of Scooter ffs). I could never admit to liking it but it just makes me laugh every time I hear it. You can't help but smile.



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 58,422 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Scooter omg I love some of their stuff why on earth did I not include it in my opening blurb😂

    Perfect – Ed Sheeran

    Is it me or has it just become a popular thing to rag on the likes of Sheeran and Tay Tay? There’s a lot of **** out there that is much more harmful and basically just worse than their like. I know, I know, it’s vanilla and safe and whatever but at least they write their own songs for the most part… Anyways I’m a huge fan of this track in particular by Ed. I think the only one I prefer more is his collaboration with Eminem (Check out The River if you haven’t already).

    Woohooo 🕺 the river is class btw, second that recommendation 👌

    Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat – (Various) Nursery Rhymes

    Why… why submit this! I hear enough of this with my young fella… I dunno I just don’t really see this as actual music so it ended up here. Only one worse than it. It would take a bit to beat it… yep… didn’t happen.

    ShaneU

    Hillbilly Rock, Hillbilly Roll – The Woolpackers

    Super country cheat code activated! My super confession is that I absolute love these type of tracks, I’d have included this or something like Cotton Eye Joe in the opening blurb had it not been included. Absolutely amazing track and you just can’t resist stamping your foot and clapping along with the song the whole way through. My major surprise is the submitter who I believe is NOT a country music fan like… at all. So not only is it a good song, it fits the brief completely and is deserving of full marks!

    I've listened to the other two rounds and am nearly finished but it will probably be next Monday again before I get to do another reveal unfortunately…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,016 ✭✭✭jluv


    The reveals have been soooo good @Necro so worth the wait..

    Enjoying listening to all the entries!

    I am not even ^ that much of a country fan… Here I thought my song was plenty bad, but dayum….what was ^ that?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,127 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    I thought that was a real country song and then found it was from Emmerdale 🤣

    Fully expecting to finish last in the next round

    I love that pussy cat song haha. I found this round very hard because I don't have any confessions. If I like music, I like it and I couldn't give a flying shite what anyone thinks about it. I proudly love most of the other confessions and completely unsurprised to be last loooool.

    I sing bits of what does the fox say on a weekly basis hattee hattee hattee ho
