In English grammar, we use the articles “a, an, the.” On occasion “some” is used as well, but not today.

Welcome to The Real Article Walrus.

Send me songs that don’t suck which meet the following requirements:

1. A song by a band with “THE” in its name

The band doesn’t need to be “The _____,” it just needs to have “the” somewhere in the name (e.g., Pedro the Lion, Florence Plus the Machine, etc.).

2. A song that starts with the word “A”

I’m looking for a song that starts with the word A, not the letter A (e.g., A Three-Legged Workhorse, A Step For Dance, etc.).

3. A song with piANo in the instrumentation

Okay, this is a stretch, but it’s my Walrus, so get off me. The song doesn’t need to be piano-driven, it just needs piano as part of the track. I’m talking piano – so keyboard synth stuff is a no for this. I want the piano to be recognizable; don’t make me go looking for it (e.g., Pheurton Skeurto, November Rain, etc.)

And that’s it. Three simple categories for you to achieve Walrus greatness. PM me your songs with links and, if you want, write ups. Let’s make entries due by Sunday, June 30. I’ll take a listen that week and will start revealing shortly thereafter. Then we can all look forward to slim’s mid-July Walrus. Good luck and thanks for playing!

***Note: Any of the bands/songs referenced above are off-limits. Also please avoid anything that has won recent categories of mine or that I myself have submitted. If you’re unsure, it’s not hard to research. If you’re still unsure, shoot eyebooger a PM and he’ll ask me if the artist you’re interested in submitting is okay.***

In there, I think.

I still see just boxes; stupid tapatalk

Was there a Florence video in one of those boxes?

Oh well, still an amazing song; if anybody knows any similar “ditty” or “old folk song” or whatever songs to that let me know

Eh, not really a fan. It’s catchy, I guess. And humorous, I suppose. But it’s just…So. ****ing. Repetitive.

Almost submitted a song by The Beautiful South. Love that band

I think we need to leave this one in the cellar for now. With one post since Nov 11, I would say he has RL matters to tend to before this makes it to the bottom of his priority list. Let it age, and he will uncork it when it's ready.

Okay, so technically entries are due tomorrow. But you all submitted like a year ago, so I’ll go ahead and close things and whip up a category reveal.
