Ahhh this rate has done it again... just listened to Fat Dog - King Of The Slugs which I'd never heard of before and I love it!

Would definitely have got some mid-table points from me if I was resubmitting my scores (and Heartworms would have got a few too, forgot about that song).

But since I assume both have zero chance of qualifying, I won't resubmit, will just remember them for next year!

Fat Dog did as well as 22nd in the equivalent round last year, it has quite a following on here due to being a huge BuzzJack Song Contest winner. However, you might be right based on the trajectory of other alt songs this year.

Glad you enjoyed both that and Heartworms ❤️

King Of The Slugs is absolutely the song of the year!

Wait what it came 22nd last year? In that case @danG can I amend my scores? Wouldn't want my laziness to be the thing that prevents it getting an AQ or SF slot

I havent started adding up so please do amend
