In 11th place, scoring 5 (1,5) King of NY - Dream on by Kelly Sweet
Oh what could have been. I know the note says the good part starts at 1:30, but it takes sooooooooooooooooo long to get there, and I have to judge the song on its entirety.
That being said, as an overall cover, I really like this, but I would much rather have 20 mg of edibles in me and sinking into my couch than dancing at my desk when I have this on.
Reggae is not generally my thing but I think this song is super fun. But then again I donât like to dance to Swedish parody metal stuff, so to each its own
In 10th place, scoring 6 (4,2.5) Jalfezeri - She is Beyond Good and Evil by St. Vincent
-1 point for Jimmy Fallon intro.
Some good funk here to get me moving a bit, but overall this wasnât my cup of team. Just way too talky for my liking. Didnât know the original but looked it up and yeah this works ok, just kinda meh overall.
Alright, lets get into some stuff that I at least found kinda fun.
In 8th place, scoring 8 (4,5 -1 for recognizability) Skydiver8 - Higher Ground by The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Pretty safe entry to be honest, and falls into a pretty safe middle of the pack. Moveable, fun, but something Iâve heard far too many times to score much higher.
In 7th place, scoring 9 (4,5) LouisCypher - A Forrest by Waltari.
Yeah alright. Not super special and takes a little bit to get into, but I for sure got to moving to this a lot more than the original Cure version. Once the lead kicks in I really get into it, its just a litttttttle bit slow to place any higher.
And with that, we move into stuff that I liked quite a bit, though again, nothing really blew me away.
In 5th place, scoring 11 (6,6) Mimosa - I get Lifted by KC & The Sunshine Band
I had never heard this cut before, which is strange cause my dad is a huge KC fan, but this is the kind of funk I like. Got me moving quite a bit, though I tacked off a few points as it runs out of steam heading into the 2 minute mark.
In 4th place, scoring 12 (8,6) Suzzer99 - I fought the Law by The Clash
Not much I can say about this outside of I really like it. I had never actually heard this cover before, and its upbeat, dance-able, and a great overall cover.
