Let's do another Grab Bag Walrus; it's been awhile

What is it?

Each person specifies criteria for their song category. Then everybody submits one song (usually youtube link) for each category (other than their own) to a coordinator via pm. Once all songs are received for a category, the coordinator sends the links to the person who is judging that category and they listen to the songs a few/bunch of times and rank them then reveal their order in the thread. Everybody playing thus judges 1 category and submits n-1 songs and we add up scores at the end after all reveals for overall winner. Lots of fun discussions during the reveals and lots of fun finding new songs or artists to listen to.

If interested, post /in below. Optionally, go ahead and specify your category, but you can also just /in for now with category TBD and post that later.

In. Category to follow.

My category will be television game show.

When I judge it, your write-up will weigh in heavily towards my ranking. If you just select my favorite game show of all time and don't include commentary, or better yet, commentary, a youtube clip, a gif, and a few images, then your ranking will get punished for it.

You want game show theme song or an actual game show itself?

The show itself.

I'm familiar with just about every American game show over the last 40 years and a small sampling of British shows.

Ok, usually walrus is for music but I guess that is ok if others are cool with it.

Category: Original songs of a more famous cover.

Example:

Dancing in the Moonlight - King Harvest (1972)

Dancing in the Moonlight - Toploader (2009)

In this instance I would want you to send me the King Harvest version and it would fit the category because the cover is really famous (at least it is in my country) and the original is not really well known at all.

I thought it was a General Grab Bag. I need to read better (see my 2nd answer in Tenable).

I'm not doing tv game show songs.

How about songs with some killer bass.

No commentary, images, or gifs. And nothing by Rush (even though Geddy Lee is my favorite bassist ever).

in

in, most led zeppelin-esque, but not led zeppelin (obv)

you get less than minimum points

In but only if there's 10 or less people. If it's more, I'll pass.

yeah, sort of same here on that note

in so far:
Nich - TBD
Bolt - songs with killer bass
Gad - TBD
PC - TBD
Xander - original version of a song where cover is more famous
Crimson Fox - TBD
DMK - most led zeppelin-esque, but not led zeppelin (obv)
IRTM - TBD


2 more, or lots more and we can do 2 game threads

Songs from 2018 onwards that are catchy

Haven't really listened to any new music as i'm stuck in the past so this is a good chance to listen to new stuff, just any song with a good beat and is catchy will do well!

Everyone should know by now the songs I like are:

500 miles
Blue (da ba dee)
YMCA
Gangnam Style

So that's what I mean by catchy

in

(will get my standard walrus out the way first)

In, category TBC, but expect rock/metal leanings.

I want your sax

(songs with killer saxophone (don't submit Baker Street) )

In & I'm getting really in to old music right now. So my category will be songs first released 1945-1959 just as rock and roll began replacing crooners.

In will get category soon

In if I still can

Half your entries will probably be from the same band
