WALRUSOPOLY: eyebooger's 15K mega-thread - Page 8

tbh if it's a genuine mistake I don't really see much need to change the scores - we've all heardan artist we wouldn't have otherwise done and some people will have enjoyed the song (including you) - but obv your game/your rules

Maybe you're right. I'll see what everyone else thinks.

I'll hopefully finish ranking all of the opera stuff during lunch today and reveal tonight.

I'm fine with letting these things slide for this round of submissions. I don't think ||.||.||'s mistake was any bigger though, so you should probably revisit his entry if you leave gambit with the points he scored.

Walrus police are onto you, gambit. Give yourself up easy and it'll be better for you.

(Your artist is Romanian, not Tunisian as you claimed)

It's one of the better pop songs of the decade so far, so I'll rate it above anything that I truly hated, but that's about as far as I can go.

If [REDACTED] could tell me why this song fits the category, I'll re-evaluate. It looks to be some random Spanish guy singing a random Spanish song.

Spoiler:

meh - turns out he was but I hadn't noticed. Probably because he usually makes more noise in thread.

in other news: I'ld be internetsad if this walrus has killed IBD

Ok, got the opera stuff scored. I'm watching Raw, so the reveal might be slower than the others. Will try to get it done before it's over.

I will say enjoyed this round a hell of a lot more than I thought I would. WAY better than the techno round.

I love the pandering; I really do. But I've heard this literally hundreds of times. I'll be loving this the next time I hear it on TV, but I just can rate it highly here.

Really didn't enjoying this at all. Seemed way longer than the 2.5 minute runtime. Was really happy when it ended.

FWIW I fully agree that that's far worse than the original Flight of the Valkyries, but I was going for a funny/pandering entry that I thought the mod would like. I got the idea in my mind and couldn't resist.

Yeah, no real regrets. I banked some points by accident in that Mediterranean round.

To have a joke as perfect as "jerk store" and never use it...I wouldn't have been able to live with myself.

I liked this Netrobko performance quite a bit more. Unfortunately, you get a bit screwed by the fact that there's a boat load of stuff around here that I liked about equally.

[REDACTED] takes a big chance with this one. It starts out kind of opera-y, then goes full-on trip-hop. Then [REDACTED] brings it back to opera, then back to trip-hop. This is difficult to judge because it's just so damn different from all the others. The ending was over a minute too long.

I knew I was missing some cultural reference on that Family Guy episode. Again, it's really different to judge because it's so different.
