    Great work there Koliflower, thanks biggley.
    It wouldn't have been my choice but a decent song nonetheless.
    From Rocky I would actually prefer this one

    Cheers for running Kol.

    Shame Dexy's Midnight Runners got knocked out, I'd have backed that all the way for the lols.

    Decent winner though :D

    Thanks Kolido for putting that all together.

    The winner would not have been my choice, but at least that awful Come On Eileen was nowhere near the final and sanity prevailed! :D

    Thanks Kolido a great tournament, I missed the last few but think that's a good result all around, stands out from the time as memorable and different :)

    If only I hadn’t gone AWOL, it wouldn’t have got knocked out on a tie break. Might have ended up as overall winner.

    I missed this until it was well advanced and I didn't want to just join in at the death. :D

    Looks like good fun Kolido. I'll definitely be watching out for the next one.

    Blimey I missed the last few days.
    Thanks for this it must take an awful lot of work.
    Wouldn't have been my choice but it's iconic 80's for sure.
    Enjoyed this one it was great fun.

    90s version

    We will kick this off on Monday next.

    162 songs, qualifying round is ready.

    Be warned though, there is an exceptional amount of novelty songs included which may lead to bouts of outcry!

    See you all next week :)

    What would the 90s equivalent of Jive Bunny and Crazy Frog have been?

    Oh God I forgot about that. And the Vengaboys and The Rednexx. Thinking about it there was loads of Eurotrash pop in the charts throughout the 90s. :eek:
