I refuse to pander!
Intro verse chorus verse chorus middle eight repeated with a melodic hook will get you a top half finish in most walruses imo
I am the 1%

There is a reason for that. You can enjoy the musical equivalent of Surströmming all you like. That doesnât mean everybody else is wrong to pass on that.
Fwiw, I would love a reveal today
Of course.
The larger the number of judges, as here, the closer the results get to populism, which was my point.
Alright, I will start my reveal in about half an hour.

Itâs very strange, considering heâs doing well in this walrus overall.
Iâm just off to bed, sadly, but have fun everyone. Iâm sure jalfrezi respects each and every one of us really.
(Though not your questionable tastes in music.)

Literally fell asleep at 4am. At least these things are consistent.

Category host name: Louis Cyphre
Category: A song that hypes you up. It can be one that gets your adrenaline flowing, a work-out song, something that gets you dancing etc.
Musical tastes: I mainly listen to rock and metal (from vanilla to extreme) and their siblings, cousins and bastards. I also listen to pop, hip-hop, some classic, a tiny bit of opera and I can generally find something I like in most genres.
Basically no-hoper genres: hardcore techno/gabber, Operetta
Dubious genres: Electronic, Jazz, country/western, disco, RNB
I listen to a lot of stuff, so just about everything else is in with a shot.

Perfect timing, I just finished my reveal for the day. Let us Walrus!

For starters I want to congratulate everyone for your picks. There isnât a bad song among them. I believe everyone tried to find something that they think fits my musical taste. Thank you very much for that. It didnât feel like a chore at all. The songs I habitually skipped where the ones I already knew and didnât need to hear again.
Whatâs good for me is bad news for you because songs that deserve a top half finish had to be relegated to the bottom half. If you find your own submission there donât feel too bad about it. Itâs just that somebody had to end up there and the competition was stiff. Also I noticed that my write-ups focus on the negative aspects a lot. Thatâs not a sign that I disliked the song. I just found it easier to explain why a song didnât place higher than explaining why a song is 3% better than the previous one.
A fair warning: If you are not into metal and punk you are going to have a bad time. The majority of submissions came from these two genres.
I am going to give one guess for each song who I think submitted that particular song. Letâs see how many I can get right.

hmm, maybe Iâll host a walrus where one category is limited exclusively to G&S patter songs. âModern Major Generalâ would place last.
Just cursing myself now. Iâm sure I get last here too
Thatâs a Walrus thatâs panda-ring. He doesnât look happy. Probably because he feels ashamed as he should.
In 13th place scoring 1 point Slayer with Raining Blood
Submitterâs comment: Slayer, man
First impression: âWhen the Saints Go Marching Inâ
I am sure the this fellow Walrusser meant well. This is an all-time classic and I will probably listen to it for the rest of my life. My category description cointained this though:
âŠand this is whatâs happening here. Itâs one of my favorite songs and itâs a great category fit but I imagine submitting Raning Blood to a metalhead is like recommending âWhen the Saints go marching inâ to a Jazz fan. I guess. I donât know anything about Jazz. I have read once that the Jazz bands in New Orleans charge extra when they are asked to play that song because they are sick of it.
