Sorry Ocha905 but I cannot ****ing stand that song. Completely astounded that it's so popular.

No wuckas Loonerty I'm shocked it didn't win the Billy so that's a bonus. Did you hate it from the jump or get sick of it after hearing it so often?

The billy and Mr irrelevant double.

Well done Chippy.

Um, 17th - 22nd?

 

[Ulahoopski]

I wanna know how it's related to the theme?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Um, 17th - 22nd?

Nah I like to do it differently.

Always thought the "tied first next placing 3rd" format looked a bit irregular and doesn't fit the way I prefer to order lists.

 

[Ocha905]

Boted.

I have three questions.
1. How does Shaboozy fit the theme?

Lyrics refers to whisky/Jack Daniels. Jack Daniels sells a Fire version with cinnamon. I've wanted to nom the song since June but the themes since then haven't let (other than the 2024 Best Of one where I had 100's of candidates). Therefore I shoehorned it in before everyone gets sick of it haha.

2. Is it really the No. 1 song in Aus atm.
3. Really?

I knew it was popular from the view count but haven't heard it in Aus yet. The day I do will be the day I turn on it!

Avoid it.

Send it AFLX's way.
