Morning all, apols for the delay..again;

...on with the next round we go shall we? Which, this week, is courtesy of Mr Brass Neck:

'Tha c'n WHISTLE fer it (standard answer to any child's request in South Yorkshire) - any song featuring (human, non-instrumental) whistling however brief (the whistling, not the song)'

Nominations with a suitable link please, in the usual time honoured fashion, thank you.

It didn't do any good when I nominated it under TV Themes but do I care? Hell no, loved it as a child, still love it.

Okee doke...always love this one. A song i feel should have been a bigger hit that it was, it reached No. 68 in the single charts at the time.

It's often mistaken for featuring a theremin synth in the song, but actually features Alison's whistling fed through a Korg synthesiser. A beautiful song, it's amazing to think it's almost 20 years old already:

I've nominated this before but as a piece of 60s whimsy and full-on and even multi-tracked whistling throughout it's a doozy (I want some of whatever he's on...…);

After Gordon, I think this is whistling and not an instrument. If anyone can prove me wrong I'll delete it.

Evening all.

YT have been busy fiddling around with some features on their site, as i couldn't for the life of me, figure out how to add songs to a new playlist this week....something has been moved on the playlist page, re that function. But managed to put one together via a alternative route..so hope it plays okay.

I do wish these site's programmers would leave things where they are. They have to keep tweaking things all the blerdy time, don't they? Does my nut in!

Anyway....we have 15 songs this week..so the voting system gets promoted to 5 votes apiece once again.

Hello one and all..and that'll be all the whistling for this round.


But, look at the scores! The final votes from Fishy Jim, puts the top 3 scorers very tightly together, seperated by only point apiece. And with a coupla of others not far behind too...any of them could have won it this week.

But we have an outright winner...and ahhhh! Well, well, well..looky who's got the top spot..again! A fab choice in the form of 'Unrest In The House Of Light' by The Protomen, just snatches the lead from the rest of the top runners, to take the winner's spot, with 28 points..a very nice score too. So, the winner, is a man, whom 4 week ago, stood proudly on the top step, then suffered the ignomy of null point 2 weeks later..is once again in fine form, as he retakes the podium summit again. Yip....it's dat Foe bloke folks! :) Gazing into the horizon does he, putting on his superhero pose, with his cape gently flapping in the breeze! He's dunnit again! You're doing well this year Nick, aincha?! :)

Well done sah...a fine nomination for sure.

Just missing out..but with a equally fine score of 27 points, it's the Lennon song that's been covered to death by many many artists over the years......'Jealous Guy' by Roxy Music, so, our lovely Jemma gets the 2nd step...and.....

...to complete the trio....with a song by yet another well known artist 'Me & Julio Down By The Schoolyard' by Paul Simon, means Tim joins Foe & Jemma.

Well done you three..some fine choices there..& hard luck to rest of us....including...ah..oh look..we have another wooden spooner.

It would appear the rest of us were too creeped out and so called time on Fishy Jim's nomination - 10cc's 'Clockwork Creep', to bless it with any points, so here's your complimentary spoon, sah.

Note to oneself...order in more wooden spoons..i'm running out!

Interesting round....dunno what you thought of it..but i did kinda feel that i had my fill of whisling towards the end of the playlist! :)

Finally....all 15 nominators came back to vote as well...nicely done folks.

Right then..final theme round for this year, coming right up.

[Fishy_Jim]

Truly, this is a quirk-free zone!
We don't want none yurr weird music round these parts, y'hear!
Ah will continue to preach the word of 'Quirk' as is mah constitutional raht!
