Well, it was submitted by Seities but unfortunately it only got third. Still, on the podium! The top three actually didnât change much for me upon repeat listens although I wasnât sure which to place second and which third.
Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike
I was pretty sure that I was going to hate any song by a band called âTemple of the Dogâ but then I started it up and realized what song it was. Just magnificent performances by Chris and Eddie. Maybe it shouldnât work but it does. Another fairly popular song but one that I had completely forgotten about, and itâs always better to be reminded of songs you liked.

W00t! My best finish in a reveal :-)
I have to be careful when I listen to this song as it tends to hit me in the feels. Glad you liked it.

Cornell on the song:
When we started rehearsing the songs, I had pulled out âHunger Strikeâ and I had this feeling it was just kind of gonna be filler, it didnât feel like a real song. Eddie was sitting there kind of waiting for a (Mookie Blaylock) rehearsal and I was singing parts, and he kind of humblyâbut with some ballsâwalked up to the mic and started singing the low parts for me because he saw it was kind of hard. We got through a couple choruses of him doing that and suddenly the light bulb came on in my head, this guyâs voice is amazing for these low parts.

In second place, for the silver medal, is Eyebooger with
The Bouncing Souls - Wish Me Well (You Can Go to Hell)
Much like their name implies, this is a bouncy, silly, breakup jaunt. Iâve heard of the Bouncing Souls but canât remember ever having heard a song by them before. Feels like a risky pick where someone will either really like it or basically hate it but lucky for Eyebooger I can dig this. Itâs the kind of song that Iâll listen to twice in a row because itâs so snappy. Nice choice!

That leaves our first place finisher, an absolute monster home run pick from JohnnyTruant
Camp Lo - Luchini AKA This Is It
Letâs see what our confident submitter wrote to accompany his entry: wonât win but itâs a perfect song. Well well well, now who has egg on his face? Perhaps you took my comments about not knowing much music from my high school days to heart, but I do in fact remember some music from that era and Camp Loâs Uptown Saturday Night is among my favorites. Iâm not sure if itâs a perfect song but itâs at least damn close and itâs our category 2 walrus.

Another great reveal. Thanks Jiggy! Appreciate the time you are putting in to brighten our days in isolation.
I look forward to a rapid descent in the rankings over the coming rounds.

I havenât started listening to round 3 yet so reveal might not be for a little while. I do know at least some of the songs that were submitted but have to be thorough and go over even the stuff I know a few times.

I fully expect you to make a comeback and dash my dreams like you have in every other WalrusâŠ
Surprised nobody submitted either of these iconic pop-music duets of the 80s:
I also considered something by Tony Bennett with either Amy Winehouse or Lady Gaga. Tonyâs still got it.
Such a good song choice

Alternate spousal entry. Better or worse than Under Pressure?
Not sure, probably around the same if Iâm being honest.
This was one of the ones I thought Iâd have nothing for. Maybe this?
