It’s coming up, it’s coming up, it’s coming up, it’s coming up, it’s coming up, it’s coming up It’s DARE™ After 3 long months of voting, during which we killed over 200 different songs and we saw the start and end of both the 70’s and 80's No. 2 games. We finally have a winner! The collaboration between Shaun Ryder’s disembodied head and virtual band Gorillaz was voted as the best UK No.1 hit of the 2000’s according to the very prestigious deathlist.net forums. The song never did no harm to its voters, but many a forum user felt that Gnarls Barkley should’ve been there themselves, but it didn’t work out in the end for them. This is how the finale played out: 1 Gorillaz- Dare 2 Gnarls Barkley - Crazy (theoldlady) 3 Britney Spears- Toxic (Paul Bearer) 4 Nelly Furtado - Maneater (Great Uncle Bulgaria) 5 Lady Gaga - Bad Romance (Imelda) 6 Kylie Minogue - Can’t Get You Out Of My Head (TQR) 7 Eminem ft. Dido - Stan (Toast) 8 Lady Gaga - Poker Face (theoldlady) 9 Evanescence - Bring Me To Life (theoldlady) 10 Spiller - Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love) (theoldlady) 11 Stereophonics- Dakota (ladyfiona) 12 t.A.T.u. - All The Things She Said (Bibliogryphon) 13 Katy Perry - I Kissed a Girl (Toast) 14 Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancin’ (theoldlady) 15 Rihanna ft. Jay-Z - Umbrella (theoldlady) 16 Sugababes - Push the Button (Root Inspector) 17 La Roux - Bulletproof (theoldlady) 18 Beyoncé ft. Jay-Z - Crazy in Love (RIP Wee Jum) 19 Modjo - Lady (Hear Me Tonight) (ladyfiona) 20 All Saints - Pure Shores (DoltonMoney) 21 Aaliyah - More Than a Woman (theoldlady) 22 Elvis vs JXL - A Little Less Conversation (Paul Bearer) 23 Estelle ft. Kanye West - American Boy (Toast) 24 Britney Spears - Oops!… I Did It Again (ladyfiona) 25 Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor (theoldlady) Bit funny that the two primate-named bands took the top and bottom spots in the finale. KILLER QUEENS: 9 theoldlady 3 ladyfiona 3 Toast 2 Paul Bearer 1 DoltonMoney 1 RIP Wee Jum 1 Root Inspector 1 Bibliogryphon 1 TQR 1 Imelda 1 Great Uncle Bulgaria No surprises on who’s on top.

(Using the same methodology of 4/5/6 songs per round.) And well, that’s me done hosting a KoS till we get to the UK No.3’s, which will probably start in early 2024 considering how these games usually last. Thanks to everyone for playing, please join the 90’s No.2’s game if you haven’t, right now we’re deciding Pavarotti’s fate, so please help him survive/get him eliminated.

Glynis Johns, the excellent film, stage, and television actress, dancer, musician, and singer, probably best known for her supporting role in the 1964 film "Mary Poppins", one of the most famous works of her versatile career, who was the recipient of a Tony Award for her noted performance in the Broadway production of "A Little Night Music", is 100 today.

https://abc7.com/13864695/ Gives rare interview on her 100th! She looks and sounds pretty good. Incredibly, not only is there no Damehood but no star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Happy 100th to Glynis.

Bob Geldof who was the singer with The Boomtown Rats but is best known as the man behind Live Aid is 72 today

Film composer Harold Faltermeyer is 71.

The winner... the winner... the winner... It's Dare! GG!

Wow! I now have 2 points and am no longer in last place. Pinch me I'm dreaming.

I remember when, I remember I remember when DLers lost their minds…it was when they picked a song that doesn’t even make Gorillaz’s own Top 5 as the best fucking number one of the decade. Infact, even Cee Lo and Dangermouse claiming that accolade is a bit of a stretch. This is fucked. I say we name Fatman Scoop the winner as a compromise.

Trudeau now considering releasing the names of all Nazi war criminals that migrated to Canada after the war.

Dare was a song that I only discovered through this game but it was an answer on Richard Osman's House of Games the other week. Interesting result. Which one of you is Damon Albarn?

Most likely. I went to Disney World this past summer. I’m only 32, and it was very tiring

Well, you guys eliminated Viva la Vida in the qualifying rounds, so you reap what you sow.

Maths fail. Next person take two more off Pav please. And will everyone PLEASE stop trying to cheat the song some extra points FFS or it’ll be the first time I actually ban a song rather than a player.

Mark Hughes sacked by Bradford City and Xisco Munoz sacked by Sheffield Wednesday

Well Played Mr. Carter!

Cant believe he made it to 99... If he lives to 2024 I'd seriously question the IQ of the committee if he isnt at no. 1 spot

Dutch actor Reiky de Valk (23) has passed away. He starred besides singer S10 in the official videoclip for De Diepte, the Dutch song sent to Eurovision in 2022. Besides Eurovision, he acted in series such as Dertigers and Oogappels. A message from his loved ones seems to indicate his cause of death: "he has chosen to shine his light on us from above".

He! He! Additionally my Canadian friends inform me that Moosehead Beer is crap — yet in my youth it was considered to be good — probably because it has a cute name.

I tried an Alexander's Sister tonight. Gin, crème de menthe, cream, sugar syrup It was OK, but somewhat marred, I thought, by the suggested nutmeg garnish.

Tory Spelling badly?

@Predictor asked a while back who had received the most votes across all the "nth death of 20xx" polls. Well, here's the answer. Brackers is our strongest survivor, and with a bit of luck she could be the GOAT. She's beaten Kirk in under 3 years! 174 188 poll results went into this. This is the very first one, which Ronnie Biggs won easily. In 2005.
