Walrus - Sully Style

Hello everyone,

Welcome to my Walrus.

Due to time constraints, I haven’t been following all of the Walruses recently, so apologies if I repeat categories. However, my eclectic taste in music might change peoples choices for submission.

My Spotify “Top Songs of 2019” playlist included:
John Williams / classical music
Faithless / Basement Jaxx /
The Heathers
Florence & The Machine
Frank Sinatra / The Ratpack
Fleetwood Mac
The Undertones / Christy Moore / Sharon Shannon
Amongst others...

My guilty pleasures include:
Pop music and boybands (Backstreet Boys / Westlife / Boyzone era)
Disney songs
Dance Classic Music
Susan Boyle / Michael Buble

The all important categories:
(Limiting to 6 categories for time reasons)
- Classic Dance Tune:
"Now That's What I call Ibiza" was one of my favourite albums when I was younger. I can recite all of the lyrics to "Maniac 2000". One of my favourite YouTube clips is:


I'm particularly fond of a piece of music that has a build up to a massive finish, and this is true for the next category too...

- A Piece of Classical Music:
When I'm working and need to concentrate, I throw on some classical music on Spotify. Last year I became obsessed with John Williams / Hans Zimmer / movie scores, and I would like to expand my selection. I don't think songs from either of these composers would fit into my next category...

- A song from a Movie Soundtrack:
A very open category. I'm not one for watching movies, but their soundtracks are earworms for me. Speaking of Earworms, the next category is one of my favourites...

- A Mash-Up:
What is a Mash Up? A Mash Up is a combination of two (or more) songs that share traits and work seamlessly with each other. One of the more famous examples is the mashup of Chasing Cars and Every Breath You Take.

Speaking of taking breaths...

- A song to get the heart pumping:
I'm doing 100 days of walking and I'm planning on getting back to c25k and triathlon training. But walking and running are awful boring. I'm getting sick of my old reliables on spotify, so give me some songs that get the blood pumping and heart racing so that I can move to the beat of the music.

And finally...

- An acoustic cover of a popular song:
It doesn't have to be by the original artist, but there's something chilling about an acoustic version of a song that we're used to hearing from a studio.



The small print:
- Please give title / artist as they appear on Spotify (if possible) - most of my music listening is in the car so Spotify works well.
- Entries to be submitted via PM and I'd like to get all of the entries in by 27th Jan (this day two weeks)
- Currently no limit on entries (number-wise) but if it gets overwhelming, I may need to limit it.

Looking forward to my musical education!
