This was the song, that made me watch the move once I heard it was in it

I love Ansel Elgort so you’re the real winner to me Osh for having him in a video

Electric Nitwit

It was a toss up between those two scenes!
The way that film uses music is great

Ectoplasm

Well, when I said unbelievably close race at the top I wasn't kidding. This next song comes from one of my favourite soundtracks ever and also a band I love. Ironically the album it's on wasn't one of my favourites when it first came out but it's one that I went back to a few years after it came out and I loved it.

Still love this song and this soundtrack but it lands outside the top 5.

Baggly

takes 6th place and 15 points

Electric Nitwit

Oh Baggly, it is an absolute pleasure to lose to that masterpiece

Yeah it was a great soundtrack and ties in well with the filming

I confess I had to google the name there

Though I see he was in Fault of my stars, which I had to watch as it was my nieces favorite movie

Ectoplasm

I honestly didn't expect this one to finish so high when I first started listening. I liked it but it didn't blow me away. I started looking forward to it though. The more I listened the more I liked it.

A very respectable 5th place and 16 points goes to

Is it the ESB ad G&R entered that for, or was it in a movie?

The ESB ad


Poetic license

Agree. I bow to your greater song.

Ectoplasm

This one was another grower. I thought it seemed a bit bland on first listen as I wasn't familiar with it. The more I listened the more I liked.

LadySkunk

takes another 17 points for 4th place.

The next song was interesting. I completely agree with the person who submitted this that it's a very well utilised in the scene that it appears in from the movie. I like it but not enough to push it into the top 5.

Also I kept expecting House of Pain to kick in :pac:

In an unbelievably close race at the top of the table,

ElectricNitwit

is in 7th place with 15 points.

If I'd thought of it I could have gone for this, love it

Although...

I love the piano in this song. When I first listened I thought it was too repetitive but I really like how this one builds and adds layers. On top of that, the fabulous vocal stylings of Sinead O'Connor. I really loved this song.

A second podium finish for

Tritium

, in 3rd place with 18 points.

Another song that I didn't know, from an artist that I'm not familiar with but plan to listen to more from. I really loved this song and I'm looking forward to listening to more of their stuff.

Clarabel

takes 2nd place and 19 points for their trouble.

Great song. Always reminds me of Tommy Tiernan in Father Ted though

Rikand

Loved that Sinead O'Connor song

Baggly

Well played EN and Molly. Thanks Ecto. I do love that song. Glad it's appreciated by others too

Ectoplasm

So now we have it. The very final song of my first (and possibly only) Walrus!

I LOVE THIS SONG! There's something French and sexy about it and that's not just the name. I love the vocals - very Kate Bush-esque, the beat and the glorious chorus.

In a last minute burst of speed,

Osh

pushes onto the podium. 1st place tonight with 20 points.

Rikand

That Agnes Obel song is real different. Love the chorusy bits and the cello

Rikand

Not the first time I;ve seen Les Fleurs win a walrus category. It really is one of those great great songs!

osh

One of my faves. I almost entered it into your walrus Rikand!

Green&Red

Excellent work Ecto, thanks a million

Baggly

Great game Ecto

Let down by Unfinished Symphony in the end

Theres not many people who can utter that sentence. Timeless classic of a tune!

Ectoplasm

So all of that means that we have a winner...as you all know. :pac: :pac: :pac:

Congratulations to Baggly!

Second place, with just a single point in it goes to Electric Nitwit

And, in the closing moments we have a photo finish for third. Well done to Mollyb60 and Osh

Thank you so much to everyone for their submissions. I loved doing this and highly recommend you all now run one so I can be on the other side again.

Looking forward to PJs now.

quickbeam

Congrats Osh.

Well done Ecto. You’re now freeeee!


Gutted you didn’t like my song though.

Pretzill

Great top 3 - thanks Ecto - I really enjoyed the Walrus and it's a bonus to finish somewhere mid table (5th!!!) in such a wonderful array of choices all around!!
