Hello and welcome to the...
After telling myself so many times to get new songs for my playlist - then not doing that, I have decided it would be easier to open up the floor and force myself to!
A walrus is a competition where the participants submit songs to fit pre-determined categories given by the host. Each song is then scored base on how enjoyable they are and how well they fit the category.
In this category - Tell me a story. Teach me about the wonders of songwriting as your song runs circles around my head with how well-written it is. Maybe each line's an allusion? Maybe the chorus changes meaning with each verse? Who knows. Impress me!
Example Tracks: Darkness - Eminem, Let it all Work Out - Lil Wayne, Dearly Departed - Brockhampton
In this category - Send me your favourite song from a niche artist! The less people know about them, the better.
The artist should not have cracked billboard top 200, nor reached a viewcount over 100,000 on their videos.
Example Tracks: Jersey - ASHY, Midnight Mustang - Josh Taerk, Dahlia Hawthorne ~ Distant Traces of Beauty (Remix) - PW:AA - Trials and Tribulations
In this category - Maniac. I want songs that either sound like Maniac or are Maniac by Michael Sembello.
This is not a joke. Send them. Do it.
Example tracks - Maniac - Michael Sembello, Take on Me - a-ha, Bulletproof - La Roux
In this category - Your favourite song please
Example tracks (warning: these are MY favourite songs and I want YOURS) -
I'll be your Girl - Carly Rae Jepsen, Violet Hill - Coldplay, Dance to This - Troye Sivan ft. Ariana Grande

The point of this walrus is get the best of your music tastes to listen to and judge!! Lowest score will be removed.

I love me a good musical breakdown in a tv show, movie, or play and I want you to send me the best songs from these!

Example Tracks: Drift Away - Steven Universe: The Movie, The Music Meister - Batman: The Brave and The Bold, My Best Friends in the World - Adventure Time
