The COVID-19 Culture Cup - First Round reveal - look for the big font that's in red

So far I have the following involved:

Beer
Jules
Jimbopip
TigerTattie
Galted
RDW
Rickles
Samo
Soul Req
PJ
Risca
Superfly
Luke
Crimey (is this your first entry?!)
King Carlos
CountMeIn
Guildford? (Or just in the stands, sipping Pimms and pretending it's all cricket?)
JDizzle
Me

There may be more, I shall reach out to Marky at the very least, whilst famous Twitter celebrity Jeff has been contacted.

I will give you a little time to contemplate Round One's pick. With so many people, I'd ideally like FIVE choices, in order of preference. The first category is most appropriate or apt lockdown song. I don't mean best song or one you want on repeat, I mean one that best describes this old lockdown situation.

PMs to me directly, please. I will go in random order for the first round, but after that the order of selection/priority goes to people lowest in points. This can take some time to organise even with low numbers, so please try and give me many alternatives and keep an eye on your inbox. It won't go as quickly as the last competition because I'm going to start with a herd mentality to this thing, assuming that science is wrong and it won't catch on fast.

This is my first entry - I've never been cool enough before.

So I'm in it twice Do I get double points each round?

Good to see we haven't got to Round One yet and Flipper has already ballsed it up!

That could be an incredibly good Simpsons reference, especially as he's Jimbo, or nonsense.

Fecc… it don't even get the references in the warm up banter.

I feel I should consider changing my user name to Oblomov.

Just stick to Grandad!

I'm kicking myself because I have submitted my 5 chewns but then realised I should have included the theme tune from Cheers.

"Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name "

Can I change my number 2 pick to number 1 please?

I still not entirely sure I know what I’m doing jimbo. In general terms as well as on here.

All I know is I’ve picked five songs then this morning I was doing the housework and T’Pau came on. I’m now wondering if I should have picked that song but then maybe it would be too crass.

Too crass ! ! That was my number 2.
And 3

And 5.

Tigertattie , I was telling MrsPip about this post and she laughed and said,
"China in my hand"?
I looked puzzled and said
"You take my breath away, surely?"

All I’m saying is take my breath away was done by Berlin.

Ah, right you are Ted. You being older than me, you'd be the fella to know about the early 80's then.

Nah Jimbo I just grew up in them. Those were the days.

Outside playing.

No games consoles.

No pissing off to Tenerife 6 times a year.

The air was clean.

The water had less chemicals in it.

When a girl came near you you ran away.

Girls came near you.

No social media to be trolled on.

Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn were less influential but still erses

China in your hand was a song to slow dance to and not something you had to put in a tissue, bin it then wash your hands for 20 seconds
