The Reigning Dj King (Mk XVI) is…nobody as it's Blonde DJ time again

The beats go on!!

This is how we roll in DJ King - the Number One Thread on Bomberblitz (Don’t argue with us…we know we’re right)

The Rules (or something vaguely resembling rules)

A nominated DJ spins a song. (all styles/artists will be given short shrift except Nightwish which will be listened to and voted through in a timely manner (may not be true).

Punters listen (or not) & vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’ - with plenty of banter in between - some related to the song or DJ’s style, but mostly random stuff. There is plenty of salt and we have become a community with the Blitz community. Even one of our fearless leaders @Catherine_Lio has had a go.

If the DJ receives enough ‘yes’ votes, he/she spins again. If not, the slain DJ nominates a punter to become the next DJ & returns to voting on songs & plotting his/her revenge.

Custom now dictates that the slain DJ MUST then change his/her avatar pic to represent the band/artist that brought about their downfall.

In this modern era, we’ve moved on from past glories and now acknowledge our new guru who comes to us all the way from Canada…it’s Guru @chewy_boy who seems to have mastered the ancient art of Blonde DJ whilst all others fall in his wake.

Some good, some bad, some downright ■■■■ but overall that was better than I was expecting. Plus I’m at work getting paid triple time to babysit some contractors so who gives a ■■■■…

5 votes - Cake, Comfort Eagle - Hadn’t heard it before, pretty cool
4 votes - Siouxsie & the Banshees, Hong Kong Garden- Noice
3 votes - Beastie Boys, Girls - a little obvious but undeniably fun
2 votes - Aaron Grooves, Stranger Aarons - gets votes purely for the film clip, which I enjoyed a lot.
1 vote - Beach Boys, California Girls - a classic.

Honourable Mentions: Psychedelic Furs, Radiohead (one of the few RH songs i like), B&S (Arab Strap).

I just realised now there were all those Rockabye Baby cover albums to choose from.

Is it just me or is there a song without any of those theme instruments in it?

Great selection, hard choice. Heaps of 5s but went with the classic, it is a masterpiece.
Woo woo.

I discovered yesterday when trying to pick a song, that I can’t tell the difference anyway.
