The Hooters - All You Zombies



This is my find of the tournament so far. What a track. I really really wanted to give this top spot, but there was one song that beat it out.

And I don’t think the entrant will have many complaints after it’s revealed. But thanks for this entry. Love it.

Just catching up now. Glad you enjoyed it - one of my favourite '80s tracks.

You should have submitted this in my Walrus Liz, guaranteed top-5 and possible top-3. Great song!!

Yes, great song.

No idea what I entered for this, I can tell you it definitely wasn't Scooter.

Hopefully it wasn't Bob Dylan or this will not end well.

We are young no one can tell us we are wrong

I thought I couldn't take a band called The Hooters seriously, but now that I've listened to that song, I know I can't take them seriously.

Call me biased but I really feel I should be winning this competition with JohnGreenFan and LeVar preferably near the bottom.

I have no idea how I ever managed to win your Walrus, considering how much you genuinely seem to hate me... :pac:

Or is it that you secretly love me?

the purple tin

I would have given Althea & Donna some more points. A groovy little ditty that gets the toes tappin

Necro

I was going to run off Round 5 this evening but there is an MSPaint reveal going on so we can aim for tomorrow if that suits folks?

Irish Aris

yeah, sounds good Necro!!

Whatever suits you Sir

tusk

now now now now

Necro

Tomorrow it is, to be fair to AJ and his MSPaint

Necro

Will kick off this evening after beaker finishes his reveal. So likely around 8 to 8.30pm folks!!

Necro

Alrighty then

Necro

Witty titles always grab my attention. Previous songs that would have fitted here would have been Thunderstruck, it always struck me as a song title with power and you instantly know what you’re gonna get.


Some other ditties I think have quite clever song titles:

Same format as the last ones, coming right up!! No duplicates this time out so a straight run through.

Kolido

Looking forward, hope you dont mind my theme tunes running in parallel, I'm kinda hogging the forum

Necro

Not a problem Kol

Trigger

I have no recollection what I submitted and I refuse to check. So I'm here for the ride

Necro

In 19th place, scoring 4 points…

Irish Aris

XTC-The Mayor of Simpleton

Great song title. The song just didn’t grab me however. Nothing wrong with it but just not for me. Again a very long distance between this and the bottom 3 mind... which we will get to later

ShaneU

Just remembered what I entered, and judging on the last few rounds, I am absolutely bottom three

Necro

In 18th place with 5 points

Osh

Smog - Dress sexy at my funeral

I just don’t like this guy’s voice. It’s very I dunno… boring? With a song title like this you might expect a bit more life to the song but it’s all very sombre and yeah, here is where it ends up.

alt-J - Tessellate

I’m not sure the song title is clever, more weird? The song didn’t grab me either unfortunately.

Sawduck

My song is by someone who is kinda polarizing, so this could up end going anywhere

Tom Waits - Chocolate Jesus

Cool title. I wouldn’t mind a chocolate Jesus right now. Waits is soooo hit and miss with me though, his voice is very Marmitey. In some songs it absolutely works like ‘Way Down In The Hole’ as an eg. But here I dunno, he sounds like he’s narrating a dodgy horror movie.

Primus : Wynona's Big Brown Beaver

Oh sweet Jaysus tune your guitars you loons! I thought this was going to be much better than it ended up being if I’m honest. I’ve no idea what the lad is saying at all, bring back Tom Waits, all is forgiven!! In all seriousness though, the track title *just* pushes it above Waits here.

Necro

In 14th place with 9 points

The Eagles - The Last Resort

Do I even need to name the submitter anymore :pac: It’s these Eagles songs I am not a fan of. It’s ok like but it just meanders along for an age not really doing anything.

Necro

In 13th place with 10 points:

Arghus

Tryouts for the Human Race - Sparks

Again, much like Pink Floyd in a previous round this is very very psychedelic (should have guessed from the artists name lol) It’s much, much, much better than what came before it (all of them, yep!) But that’s about it. Video (which I didn't actually watch during my scoring phase) is decent too.

Kolido

I think I played safe in this round, though you can never tell in these games

The Rolling Stones – Sympathy for the Devil

Not sure about this, again we are getting into passable territory but I think there are much better Stones songs. (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction on the other hand would have done much, much better here.

Rikand

At least I was leading after 3 rounds. I can take that with me to the bitter end. Primus and Captain Beefheart are an acquired taste. You either love them or hate them. Primus are an unbelievable band and the Captain put out some incredible work throughout his career. But I can accept they are not for everyone

Rikand

Yeah, but satisfaction wouldnt be a witty title ? Sympathy for the Devil isnt even that witty (imo). I thought about submitting **** her gently, but I just didnt think it was witty enough.

The song is brilliantly witty, but the title is ... a title

I'm Like A Lawyer With The Way I'm Always Trying To Get You Off - Fall Out Boy

I’m a big fan of Fall Out Boy anyways and there are a number of their songs which would have suited here. This is a very good song and clever entry.

I quite like the title of Satisfaction, don't ask me why

**** her gently I just find pretty witty overall.

Aaron Daniel Jacob - chop away at my heart

This is so groovy and uplifting. Really enjoyed this, and the title is witty.

Necro

ShaneU

The Tallest Man on Earth - The Gardener

Interestingly I find the band name more intriguing than the song title!! This is a nice song with some decent backing. Very enjoyable. Would have ranked a bit higher I think but for the title actually.

Necro

Interestingly in this category I only knew two songs in the top 10 and had heard of just 1 other.

Necro

Big Man with a Gun - Nine Inch Nails

Not too familiar with Nine Inch Nails, Hurt original aside admittedly. This is a very fun track and the multiple meanings for the title suit the category very well indeed.

This here Cro is why we will never agree on music! This is fantastic. I love how the guitars are not tuned. He's saying things - feel it - why does it matter what the words are!

The Tallest Man on Earth - The Gardener

Thought I was doomed after the Bob Dylan hate!

Necro wrote: »

The song isn't about gardening, it's about insecurity. The garden is a metaphor. Which makes it a clever title.

A lot of these titles so far are more "wacky" than clever.

Trigger

You only like me with the lights out - Avid Dancer

This is a funny one because every time I put it on I instantly didn’t like it but after a minute or so each time I was nodding along like a goofball and end up loving it. Made it sort of hard to place if I’m honest but I think given the upcoming quality… this is about right.

Trigger

Ohhhh.. yeah...

I love it..

Happy enough with that placing.. top half will do me

LeVar

All Time Low – The Irony of Choking on A Lifesaver

One of the best song titles I’ve seen, that’s for sure. Really enjoyed this track, it just… gets me. Upbeat, great beats... BLOODY WALRUS WIZARD

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I had a feeling that one would be up your alley alright Necro.

Glad you enjoyed it.

The purple tin

Johnny Cash: The One On The Right Is On The Left

And here comes my own personal bias, I honestly think you could have Cash sing almost anything and I would enjoy it. This one just really suits both me and the category. Clever title, music I love… yeah great choice.

Necro

In 4th place with 19 points…

Green&Red

Violent Femmes - Blister in the sun

This was one I didn’t know I knew till I turned it on. Great choice, combining good song and clever title as evident can be difficult and you managed it very well.

Necro

And now we pause whilst we post a Graham Norton gif for the following 6 people…

“Weird" Al Yankovic - Amish Paradise

Yeah…… I can’t understand how ‘weird’ Al makes money. He can’t sing, and he spends his time ripping the piss out of mostly decent tracks. The original would have actually scored incredibly well here… this pisstake cover… nope, not for me unfortunately. Scores slightly higher than the other two because tbf the title at least is sort of clever.


I have a feeling though this is going to be a divisive decision mind :pac:

Marilyn Manson s(AINT)

NSFW WARNING!!!

Ah man when Manson is on point he is so good. This is a perfect example of it. And I love the title, this is a fab choice. Welcome to God Tier,
