MrKingsley and Barney92's Walrus - The Reveal

tusk · 18-12-2019 11:59am

Are you gonna share individual scores at the end?

MrKingsley · 18-12-2019 2:07pm

Hmmm. Good question Tusk. I was initially planning on giving the breakdown of the scores at the end but maybe after each round would be better

MrKingsley · 18-12-2019 2:08pm

Here is the study playlist.

Just so people are aware. My plan is to do a power reveal(A La Tusk) for the Food round between 12-2 on Friday afternoon because I’ll be working in the evening

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

But how that relates to tusk, I've no idea!!

tusk walrus that took forever and ever, was ended when he power revealed the whole last category in 20 minutes.

So was born, the power reveal (a la tusk)

Pretzill · 18-12-2019 5:57pm

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 -

MrKingsley · 18-12-2019 7:16pm

Yeah as in once I start with it I won’t be dawdling

Ready and waiting I could do with some good tunes after listening to the Cringe/ Chuckle videos for the last couple of weeks.

Pretzill · 20-12-2019 12:16pm

You two are pretty much together in the scoring stakes on round 1!

I have a feeling this could've been me, and if it is, I regret nothing...

Electric Nitwit · 20-12-2019 12:24pm

Is today food?

If so it's the only one I managed to get an answer for. I think it's pretty obvious and I'm hoping someone else will have picked it so I can see how I'd have done

MrKingsley · 20-12-2019 12:46pm

So will be starting in the next 10 minutes guys. I've done a random number generator for the order of the reveal but without the top 2 and bottom 2

Yeah it was weirdly similar. Things have changed somewhat this round

MrKingsley · 20-12-2019 12:56pm

MrKingsley · 20-12-2019 12:58pm

In 6th place we have

oooooooosh

with Bar B Q by Wendy Rene. This picks up a (slightly harsh IMO) 10 points.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIBxZiW1Vyo

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 tune

MrKingsley · 20-12-2019 1:00pm

In 9th place collecting themselves 7 points is

Ecto

with Where Do You Go To My Lovely by Peter Sarstedt.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8JOi1q5ugs

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.

MrKingsley · 20-12-2019 1:00pm

In 10th place picking up 6 points is

Necromania

which this Benni Bennasi remix of California Dreaming:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTbd2e2EyTk

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" it

MrKingsley · 20-12-2019 1:01pm

Now in 7th place we have

GnR

with Alphabet Soup by Bell X1 which scores 9 points.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHiCX46vukU

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.

MrKingsley · 20-12-2019 1:01pm

And breathe..............

tusk · 20-12-2019 1:03pm

Power Reveal status: APPROVED!

osh · 20-12-2019 1:07pm

Glad you liked that one Kingsley, figured you might

Shame it didn't click with Barney as much.

MrKingsley · 20-12-2019 1:12pm

Osh it safe to say that you have my number when it comes to music so far

osh · 20-12-2019 1:25pm

Well I'm not expecting much from my musical pick, but I'll be astonished if you don't like my last one. And number 4 is a good one imo too. What am I saying sure all my songs are good

MrKingsley · 20-12-2019 1:27pm

MrKingsley · 20-12-2019 1:28pm

And in 5th place we have

Pretzillllllllla

scoring themselves a handsome 11 points with When the Cookie Jar is Empty by Michael Franks.

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

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.

MrKingsley · 20-12-2019 1:29pm

In 12th place picking up 4 points is

Teddy Bear

with The Candy Man by Sammy Davis Junior

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

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.
