    Three excellent songs, each a worthy winner. Glad I don’t have to make the choice.

    Well done, Scottser! Enjoy the vouchers :-)

  2. Slightly Bemused

    Given the headline on the previous article (Et Tu, Mary Lou?), perhaps the next competition should be songs about Marys/Mary Lous.

    You know, like ” Well Hello Mary Lou, goodbye speaking rights!”

    wow, there’s a surprise. i honestly thought if bertie didn’t win it then Niall would have with ‘sound of silence’.
    i guess we all learned the difference between the first lines of great songs and great first lines of songs.
    cheers everyone – that made a killer playlist btw.

    Up The Junction was chosen by you to begin with, Nick. A worthy choice but… shenanigans!

    I’ll just pick what you go for next time.
