Well done ecto, nice piece.
What round you planning to do next?
I really like my song this round. Think it’s one that does grow on you. And disagree about the lyrics barney
they mightn’t be much but love how fragile and vulnerable it sounds 0 -

I don't know what that means... Explain it to me like I'm 5 years old...

Yes Tusk took the reveal to an entirely new level of speediness - I might be having a power nap on Friday (ahead of all the Christmas doings) but for some reason I'm not holding out much hope for my standings in this Walrus -

In 6th place we haveooooooooshwith Bar B Q by Wendy Rene. This picks up a (slightly harsh IMO) 10 points.
Barney's Comments:This song just didn't hook me into liking it. It was fine and was happy enough for it to be on but when I listened I just found myself drifting off to think of other things.
Kingsley's Comments:Another absolute belter. I could listen to this all day. Really is my kind of tune0 -
In 9th place collecting themselves 7 points isEctowith Where Do You Go To My Lovely by Peter Sarstedt.
Barney's Comments: This one wouldn't make me think about food, but it does for the sender. I really like the name dropping in this, you don't come across too many songs with Marlene Dietrich and Aga Khan in it. I like they've got Juan-les-pins and the legs in the same verse. Doubt it was intentional but like that pins and legs are side by side.
Kingsley's Comments: I used to despise this song. Something obviously happened to me over the last few years but now I really like it. Just a really nice, easy listening song that could also go down quite well on a Kareoke night. Theme is again a personal experience for anyone wondering.0 -

In 10th place picking up 6 points isNecromaniawhich this Benni Bennasi remix of California Dreaming:
Barney's Comments: Another where I don't see the link to food but it's there for the sender. I like that they were bold going for this when I said I wasn't a big fan of this type of music, and was hoping that this would go against my usual dislike but sadly I wasn't a big fan. I do like California Dreamin so those bits went down well with me.
Kingsley's Comments: Again for the theme this reminds the poster of sunshine and BBQ so can't really argue with that. As for the song......it reminds me of exactly the same. I can remembering listening to this at various BBQs years ago. Having said that I only like it....I don't "like like" it0 -
Now in 7th place we haveGnRwith Alphabet Soup by Bell X1 which scores 9 points.
Barney's Comments: Strong start to it. Do they keep saying Maud Gonne? I really don't get how she link to the rest of the song. Decent song but not my favourite by any means
Kingsley's Comments: I love Bell X1. Whenever I listen to them the singers voice it just does something to me (in a good way). Just a good solid song this one, that I have listened to an awful lot since entries came in.0 -

And in 5th place we havePretzilllllllllascoring themselves a handsome 11 points with When the Cookie Jar is Empty by Michael Franks.
Barney's Comments: Jazy intro, nice relaxing feel to it. Love that they've got sassy into the song, and they've managed to rhyme it too. Not a massive fan of some of the rest of the lyrics though, especially when they return to the same verses in the second half.
Kingsley's Comments: I like this ditty quite a lot actually. When I first listened to it, it got on my nerves a little bit but the more I hear it the more I like it. And the man has a serious tache which can only be a good thing.0 -

In 12th place picking up 4 points isTeddy Bearwith The Candy Man by Sammy Davis Junior
Barney's Comments: I think this is a good entry for a food theme as it fits perfectly, however I just don't like the song. I really dislike the 'who can make the sun rise' bit, not entirely sure why.
Kingsley's Comments: Not wild on this song really. Never have been. It just grates on me a little bit but I know that I've always really wanted to like it. Unfortunately I just can't.0 -
Scoring 5 points for an 11th place finish we haveMicksJagfor Holding Out For A Hero
Barney's Comments: Not entirely sure how this one relates to food, but maybe it does for someone. If it is for the gingerbread man in Shrek then fair paly on that link. Really like the song though, apart from the ending because the chorus isn't my favourite part of it
Kingsley's Comments: A good solid, goshdarn tune. Really one for MeToo era me thinks
I do really love this song and there is nothing at all wrong with anyone holding on for someone to rescue them if they so choose. For the theme.......if the gingerbread man in the Shrek video is the link to food then 0 -
With the third spot on the podium now being claimed we haveKevpicking up 13 points with Chocolate Jesus by Tom Waits
Barney's Comments: That's a fantastic title, so brownie points there. I really liked it up to around half way and didn't like some of the instrumental stuff. I did like the singer though and some of the lines are very good.
Kingsley's Comments: Love me some Tom Waits and really like this song. There is such a nice flow to it and absolutely on the money with the theme. When I saw that Tom Waits had been picked for this round I really hoped it would be "Ice Cream Man". That would have been top marks but this is pretty darn good too.0 -
-
And in 8th place scoring a nice and symmetrical 8 points isSpookwith The Onion Songby Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
Barney's Comments: I was intrigued as to whether this was going to be a serious or jokey song. I can get behind it, I like the lyrics and the idea of the world being a great big onion. It's not my favourite of the songs but it's a good one.
Kingsley's Comments: I have heard this song on numerous occasions before but never knew they were comparing the world to an onion! It's a very nice song, sung by two beautiful singers but I am left wanting more from it. It seems to be building to a big crescendo but then it just flatlines for me.0 -

So picking up a juicy 12 points for a fourth place finish isTuskwith this Kygo Sexual Healing Remix
Barney's Comments: I like a good kygo remix, it's not immediately clear to me the food connection but the sender indicates it would be a barbecue theme which I can see. Not sure I'd have it myself but I do like the song.
Kingsley's Comments: I've heard this remix a lot but I do really love it. Theme-wise if the sender says it gives them BBQ vibes then who am I to argue with that but just can't give it top marks compared to some of the other entries in this round.0 -
We have our first bogey of the competition.
So as per game rules myself and Barney each picked a bogey song for each category (prior to entries being sent in of course). This song may have been one that we felt was too obvious, really disliked or a combination of each. In this case it was a combination of both for me.
The punishment is a drop of 3 places for the round.0 -

Oh thank jaysus.
When I saw all the other songs with actual food in the title I fully expected last place.
Full disclosure, first time I heard this was at a BBQ in my aunties new house in Wexford. Drinking desperados on the decking eating slow cooked barbeque brisket. The sunset was immaculate. I can't hear that song without that memory popping up. Good times.0 -
In a final resting spot of 13th place isNecrina-maniawith Sugar, Sugar by The Archies
Barney's Comments: I do like this song. I think it gets a tad repititive but I do enjoy it.
Kingsley's Comments: Oh boy. Here we go. BOGEY SONG ALERT!!!!!! When this category came up discussion with Barney this song instantly came into my head. i have never liked it. If it ever comes on it will get skipped within 30 seconds..............however.............I listened to its in its entirety a few times for the sake of fairness. And I must say it gets better as it goes on. I just hate the chorus so much! For that reason I have given it a semi respectable score.0 -
