I don’t even know who Van Morrison is.

 

He was the number one stockholder of Myspace

 

Runner-up choice:

edit: stupid age-restriction. It's "If You're Gonna Be Dumb, You Gotta Be Tough" from the Jackass movies.

 

My alternate choices:

(This one is absolutely devastating)

 

I can't believe the season and playlist end like this, amazing

 

I found this round tough, a lot of good songs about death and mourning but not sure I'd want them as my final song at a funeral.

The obvious one I ended up not going for was Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

 

Oh God

 

Why does the Van Morrison song feel 10 minutes long

 

I think the more important question is ‘why are you on facebook’

 

65 and rainy here and this playlist is hittin’

 

Some real curveballs on this playlist! A few of these songs took me by surprise

 

"Dancing Queen" has me thinking hard about other songs that start with the prechous. Wild choice.

 

Any chance of an extension on this one? Been flat-out all weekend, only getting a chance to listen now.

 

Of course! Done.

 

For the next one, can we sneak in a songs of the year so far category? We had that last year around this time and it was fun

 

Wish I'd thought of this one earlier:

 

Congrats to @Aaron Mook!!!

 

Damn @trevorshmevor so sorry for your loss!

 

GGs Aaron! Shocked I got 3rd, didn't expect to place so high lol

 

Completely out of context I totally thought this was about me losing in the league LOL I was like it's truly all good bruv

But I appreciate you saying that - I hesitated to pick the song myself because it totally feels like "hers" now. But it's really just a perfect song for the category. I'm still blown away that someone else picked it!

 

Season 4 results!

Definitely serendipitous.

It wasn't at the top of my list initially, but I wasn't satisfied with my initial choices so went through my library and made a playlist of possibilities. When that one came on I was just like "Yep, that's the one! That's what I was looking for."

 

Congrats @Aaron Mook! By the narrowest of margins. Well deserved!

 

Trevor's write ups for Don't Forget and My Hero were excellent, for completely different reasons.

 

Thank you to all my haters (@The Lucky Moose) and all my fans (@ghostedaway) I can't believe I pulled that off/finally placed in one of these things
