    Welcome boardsie to my walrus reveal. Huge number of people in for this, thanks to everyone who entered, that would be

    $hifty
    Banjo
    Barney 92
    Ectoplasm
    Electric Nitwit
    Fixxxer
    Homer J Fong
    Joban
    Kitten_K
    MicksJaguar
    Mollyb60
    Mr Kingsley
    Necro
    Osh
    Pretzill
    QuickBeam
    Reberetta
    Rikand
    Sheridan81
    SKeith
    Spook_ie
    Strawberry Milkshake
    Tammy!

    Some first timers there, best of luck to everyone.

    I'll be running the reveal in the order that I enjoyed the categories!
    So tonite will be A Song from your first album

    Then
    Song to walk up the aisle to
    Song with a number
    Song with a name
    Finally Country/folk song

    Hoping to get the first one out of the way this evening, then Wednesday, Friday and maybe Saturday & Sunday but that'll depend on the weather at the weekend. If its fine I'll off to the Battle for the Lake in Achill

    For each round I'll post up a list of comments, one for each song, fairly generic. If you can spot your song its worth an extra point to you, just post on thread and highlight the blurb that belongs to your song. If you're wrong you lose a point.
    Remember I don't want to give you the point so I might be trying to lure you in and some of them will be just too vague to be able to guess, luck of the draw.
    I'll leave that open until 4pm, no obligation to enter that

    Good luck every one

    So here are your 23 clues


    Saw this artist live once and kinda ruined them for me

    What a cool album to be your first

    Blast from the past, good upbeat tune

    We all had our favourite didnt we?

    Its like two songs put together, neither of which are that good

    The best thing about this is that the artist isn't singing that much

    Would have been at home in a different category, or left out altogether!

    I hope i'm in this good of shape when I'm that age

    Great song - probably too familiar

    Heard of these, heard the song, didn't realise thats who sang that

    I think there must be better songs on this album?

    Not the best known song on this album but very good

    Hadn't heard this before which is surprising given who it is and the title

    Not sure I'd go and listen to the full album but I like this

    Thankfully I'll never have to listen to this song ever again

    Sing-along ability is very high here

    Could easily have been my entry to best song ever

    Classic film, has kinda ruined the song for me though

    I've heard of these but never listened to them before, I'm on the fence, got the most listens of any song to try and make up my mind

    Had their greatest hits growing up,really like them

    Won't be my cup of tea normally but actually liked this

    I didn't hate this but it did outstay its welcome

    I kept expecting John Barnes to break in with You've got to hold and give but do it at the right time, you can be slow or fast but you must get to the line

    I was thinking the clues would be pretty easy to guess but I could probably go with half of these for my pick :D

    Thankfully I'll never have to listen to this song ever again

    This is 100 per cent mine :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,241 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Ha ha, some of those clues are amazing!

    Good work being ready for this soon, looking forward to it

    EDIT: I'm going to be brave/cocky and claim this :p

    I know two songs like this.
    And I submitted them both :D (although only one to this category)

    I can see why you would think this but unfortunately not

    When you see my description of your song it'll make perfect sense to you

    No, but death or glory!

    I actually thought mine was the "saw them live..." but then noticed you said artist not band. The band i entered are famously hit or miss live

    I’m taking this one
    I hope i'm in this good of shape when I'm that age


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,426 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red

    Hah, I was trying to lure someone else in but you're right!

    Like I say there's a bunch of these that could fit, depending.

    I'm gonna try this one. As I've no idea if you like the song or not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,941 ✭✭✭osh


    Hopefully I'm wrong :D

    You are wrong, I quiet liked your song

    yes. Unless it's wrong and then I'm afraid the jokes on you!

    My only regret is that I didn't know the song It's A Rave Dave in time to submit it for this, and all future walruses. Walrii?

    Well its incorrect for Banjo..........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Oops. didn't see you're doing it backwards.
    I haven't heard the song she submitted in about 15 years but I bet I live with the person who suggested the song you're talking about in First Albums.

    Going with this.

    Anyone not prepared to gamble on a guess will be giving away the fact they want to win walrus and, therefore, cannot be trusted :p

    Not sure I'd go and listen to the full album but I like this





    Can't say I've ever listened to Tupac other than Ghetto Gospel, liked this a lot
