Wait...the category was named Money Money Money after an Abba song and the player who enters the song Money Money Money by Abba gets second place???

Clearly I was the only one who paid attention to the obvious song choice!!

All the Walruses (Walrai)? seem to have gone into a holding pattern.

A fun, feel good track that I fondly remember but haven’t heard in a while. Not my fav 5ive track, but it is one I do enjoy. Its simple, its catchy and it’s hard not to do the moves when I hear it on the wireless. A fine selection

Irish Aris

great start!! I like 5ive in general and this song in particular!!

beakerjoe

Well in at 11th place with more 5ive......its 9 points to.....

5ive - Keep on Movin submitted by

Necro

Have I listened to this artist before? Yes

Probably 5ives biggest hot but its not my fav. That said, its a gentle track with a nice bit of energy when it bridges to the chorus and the chorus itself. Its a feel good track but It lacks a little “ooomph” for me to rank higher.

Best version of a boy band song ever...

Yeah the lyrics are bollox and pandering, but the over the top tune and lyrics just work for me. Yes, its stereotypical US boyband tripe but I love it. Its catchy, funky and classic BSB. Its one of my fav tracks but so many good tracks push it down to 9th.

The Monkees - Last train to Clarksdale, submitted by the

One of the original manufactured boy bands and its a lovely track. I enjoy the opening riff and vocals, and its toe tapping good. It probably deserved better than 12th but this was a very hard round to judge, and its position doesn't reflect my enjoyment of it.

East 17 - Stay Another Day submitted by

Arghus

Have I listened to this artist before? Yes
Have I listened to this song before? Yes

The lads from Walthamstows biggest hit. It’s a fine track but suffers from over playing. Nevertheless, its a well written song and very enjoyable listen still after over 25 years. Its never a song I search for when seeking an E17 track as they have many better songs IMO, however it's far from a horrible song and mainly suffers here as a result of stronger entries.

McFly - All about you, submitted by

Gru

Not a huge fan of McFly, but this isnt half bad. It is very gentle and is a bit of a modern throw back to The Monkees. Its an easy listen and its very enjoyable. Chorus is a bit bland and samey but otherwise its a nice listen.

Picking up 13 points each, in Joint 6th Position it is......

Its hard not to enjoy this track, its feel good and its funky, making you bop your head. Its infectious and it will stay in your head…. In a good way. Great choice.

In good company with that pick

BROS - When will I be famous - submitted by

Kolido,

Have I listened to this artist before? Yes
Have I listened to this song before? yes

A nice throw back. These guys were huge and this song was the catalyst. Admittedly Its a good track, nice stereotypical 80’s sound; but it’s let down by forgettable verses. The chorus is the main draw here. It hasnt aged as well as other 80’s hits but still enjoyable.

Electric Nitwit

Ah, that was the triple pick!
I thought there was a chance it would be me

ShaneU

Oh no, I picked the same song as LeVar? Need to take a shower, Unclean!

A great track, it is full of energy and over the top vocals. Love it. Its a classic that is easy to sing along to and gets me in a good mood. Its 90's pop cheese and I love it.....Good choice

I was shocked and he probably would have ranked lower. Not much love for Westlife have I.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Dynamite, was released less than 24 hours before I sent my picks in, surprising it was a triple nom - although I had guessed if anyone else went for it it would definitely be fixXxer (so called that right at least)... Shane, you've gone up in my estimation by going for the same pick. Such a fun song though.

Another track I do enjoy and probably doesn't deserve to be earning 4 points. A nice feel good track that suffered from the competition above it.
