We continue with Part II of #AnimalTopTwentySongs [For Part I, click here] where we move beyond the trends and celebs and bots to the tweets that really matter, those made by YOU… that’s right, so many Fish List of Prizeworthyness [F.L.O.P.] tweets that they could not be contained in just one post.
There were really a whole lot of super good and amazing and funny and clever tweets in this game and this list is by no means exhaustive [so maybe click on the tag on the Twitterer and read some that didn’t make it here] but each of these cracked the nod for a different reason and so many because they were FUNNY or CLEVER or MISDIRECTIONAL or RANDOM [but related] or PUNNY [which are the big 5 we traditionally look for] and more… @AFrikkinHashtag presents this week’s:
FISH LIST OF PRIZEWORTHYNESS [Did you F.L.O.P.?]
First up, a huge shoutout to Quizical who decided to get proactive once this game was done:
If you want to listen to some of the #AnimalTopTwentySongs from todays hashtag game, I’ve compiled a 30 song playlist on Spotify called animaltoptwentysongs originally enough! Is your song on there? 😉 @BrettFishA @AFrikkinHashtag

La Bambi #AnimalTopTwentySongs
— 22 Frets (@originalTPH) January 3, 2018
SO MANY SUPER GREAT TWEETS and as i read through them again, so many of them could and maybe should be on the TOP F.L.O.P. side of this list they are all just THAT good and remembering a whole bunch that didn’t make it in to this post at all – i just don’t understand how people can make Top Ten lists cos i never can… but somehow as the game was going oon, there were tweets that got special treatment and are this weeks Best of the Best and this might be the longest TOP F.L.O.P. we’ve had but they really were so good, so let’s cheer on this week’s
F.L.O.P. SIXTEEN:
[15] Richard got all Australian on us:
🎶I come from a Lamb down under 🎶
#AnimalTopTwentySongs— Richard H (@FeeBooths) January 3, 2018
[14] Charlie brought another Christmas camel, um carol:
Oh camel ye faithful 🎶🎶 #AnimalTopTwentySongs
— CHARLIE MURDOCH 🇬🇧 (@murdoch_charles) January 3, 2018
[13] Walking Abed brought this magnificent extension:
I Wanna Dance With Possumbody #AnimalTopTwentySongs pic.twitter.com/0lTFLvqYAj
— TheWalkingAbed (@TheWalkingAbed) January 3, 2018
[12] End of Daze plummed the depths of obscurity:
I Think I'm Turning Chimpanzees #AnimalTopTwentySongs
— End Of Daze (@EndRoadwork) January 3, 2018
[11] This was a bit of a stretch but i love how it actually works from Alad:
Losing my wood pigeon #AnimalTopTwentySongs
— aladinsane (@isthismyemail1) January 3, 2018
[10] Mark brought the rock and roll:
#AnimalTopTwentySongs pic.twitter.com/AAQ4b9vxQw
— Mark Oldfield (@MarkJWO) January 3, 2018
[9] Peanut said it exactly as it was and found the perfect accompanying pic:
Bunnies to tight to mention #AnimalTopTwentySongs pic.twitter.com/k94AMdPqY5
— peanut (@Angrypeanut4) January 3, 2018
[8] Dr Mind asked the question we’d all been too afraid to ask:
What If Dog Was One Of Us#AnimalTopTwentySongs pic.twitter.com/hPY6TNYCSk
— Dr. Mindhattan (@soulfood4thght) January 3, 2018
[7] Fox brought us this delightful Hanson nod:
mmmbark#AnimalTopTwentySongs
— H. Fox (@CCtapwater) January 3, 2018
[6] Ian brought another of my absolute favourites, so well worked:
Ganglamb Style #AnimalTopTwentySongs https://t.co/0QkDAaJb1Z
— Ian Gorton (@IanGorton) January 3, 2018
[5] Ghostly G brought another classic singalong to the party:
Sheep Dreams Are Made Of These #AnimalTopTwentySongs pic.twitter.com/quGHWxwuEV
— Gretel Ghost (@Margare60119979) January 3, 2018
[4] Donna’s was pure greatness and an anthem for dogs everywhere:
Don’t stop retrieving 🐾 #AnimalTopTwentySongs
— Donna 🌟💫 (@DonnaDonlew03) January 3, 2018
[3] While SassyPants brought three creatures to one song title in pure perfection:
#AnimalTopTwentySongs
Weevil weevil Roc ewe— JamoTG (@SassyFacts_1) January 3, 2018
[2] Don’t think shared a boundary line that won’t be crossed:
I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do Cat) #AnimalTopTwentySongs pic.twitter.com/VcdFCBlBzK
— Dont Think Soooo Cold ❄️⛄️ (@DontThinkso555) January 3, 2018
[1] And in case you thought i had claimed one more F.L.O.P. than i’d delivered, i could not decide between these two as TOP F.L.O.P. tweet for this game and so i decided we need joint winners this week:
Luella for the imagery accompany this reworked song reconnecting it to the classic Ghost pottery scene – absolute brilliance:
Unchained Meowlody #AnimalTopTwentySongs pic.twitter.com/PdwxqplOwB
— Luella (@Luella_Kay) January 3, 2018
But best song line of the game has to be this Oasis nod from Stan which is just SO SO SO SO SO great! Well played, sir!
And after all, you're my one narwhal! 🐳 #AnimalTopTwentySongs @AFrikkinHashtag @HashtagRoundup pic.twitter.com/QtnGFEKBhF
— Stan Drews (@phizzwhizz) January 3, 2018
Edit: Just saw this one from John Lane and it deserves to be right up at the top so i’m adding it in:
You Can Leave Your Cat On. #animaltoptwentysongs pic.twitter.com/ISny5aFbqO
— John Lane (@JohnFPLane) January 3, 2018
And well played everybody – you can see how super hard it was to choose and anyone who made it into this post was amazing but i do feel like the F.L.O.P. SIXTEEN deserved their spots as well while others were unlucky not to be there [looking at you Mamba Mia!] but what an absolutely delightful game and you know what? One of the cleanest and familyest we have had which just goes to show we can do this stuff and still be brilliant!
Huge shoutout to The UnNamed Ones who are a great behind-the-scenes crew and a bunch of really amazing people from all around the world – you guys rock!
See you next Wed at 1pm South African and 6am EST for another great keep-the-WIT-in-the-Twitterer game
love brett Fish and No_bob [the world’s most famous stuffed dolphin]
[To see Part I of the F.L.O.P. with the invite and many of the verifieds that played, click here]
[…] But that’s not all because some of the best and funniest tweets came from the average everyday unverified accounts of people like you and me and so make sure you check out Part II of #AnimalTopTwentySongs […]
