Moopy's Greatest Dance Anthems: Semi 2 Results Gala. 9pm TONIGHT

[COB]

I didn't recognise this by name, but obviously it became familiar as soon as it started.

 

[dmlaw]

Who would have thought that one of the entrants in Festival di Soldi would come up in the dance anthems rate as well?

 

[ButterTart]

Another one sans video because the 'official' one came in at two minutes long and I refuse to believe that's right.

I didn't know what this was called until the last Dance Rate.

Even TEN minutes would never be enough!

 

[Kate]

Oh my GOODDD this is like all my favourites <3 <3

 

[COB]

Another Night

 

[ButterTart]

Staying firmly in the 90s here, Real McCoy - Another Night. This came fourth.

 

[Zu]

HOT AND SLIGHTLY DEMENTED E-TASTIC MIX ALERT (although I have now caught up )

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Can someone explain to me, someone born in the 90s, what this talking man interlude is all about? I like it, but I don't get it.

 

[straightorbroken]

I'm late.

Putting my finger on the disc at Felix is my guess. 90s shows music extravaganza. Everyone went after that riff: my favourite being the bored Norwegian porn duo who covered The Sun Always Shines on TV (Diva).

 

[ButterTart]

Even TEN minutes would never be enough!

There were some eight minute versions I could have gone for, but I've got work Monday so I didn't think it was wise to open the extended mix floodgate.

Rap bits were all the rage in the 90s. They were also very seldom actual rap.

We're on Real McCoy now.

 

[Alla]

AAAAAAAGHHHHHHH YAS!!!

 

[Kate]

If Mr Vain is up next I might have a coronary

 

[straightorbroken]

The Shamen were in this heat? Bloody hell, I really did panic skim my 25.

 

[COB]

@straightorbroken here just in time for LONNIE

 

[straightorbroken]

Real McCoy (with the add on of Amber) were firing on all cylinders with their first batch of singles.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

They were also very seldom actual rap.

That's very much the bit that baffles me. See also: Gunter.

 

[straightorbroken]

@straightorbroken here just in time for LONNIE

Hold my leopard print purse

 

[Kate]

Phew. Not dead

 

[COB]

God this is such a powerhouse!

 

[ButterTart]

We watched her desperately trying to grab the pink pound earlier with some true atrocities, here's Lonnie Gordon with Happenin' All Over Again.

This came 25th, and for some reason the video only exists in Taliban hostage video quality.

 

[COB]

Did anyone nominate This Time I Know It's For Real in any of the other heats?

 

[straightorbroken]

Donna Summer's trash is another icon's meal ticket.

 

[COB]

This WAS originally going to be for Donna's scrapped second SAW album, right?

 

[dmlaw]

It's Gordon Lonnie. With the word dance next to her picture, in the not-unlikely event that you couldn't tell.

 

[COB]

I knew I wasn't making it up

 

[Alla]

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

 

[ButterTart]

That's very much the bit that baffles me. See also: Gunter.

It was a weird fad that lasted right through Aqua and their 12000 imitators (One of which is coming up in a later semi...). I think you had to rap to be taken seriously back in those days, which is why they kept trying to make Mel B do it.

 

[Alla]

2 of my songs back to back, great results!

 

[ButterTart]

Here's Bobby Christina Brown - Two Can Play That Game. It came 17th, and I'm hard pushed to think of a song that represents the 90s better than this.

 

[ButterTart]

Did anyone nominate This Time I Know It's For Real in any of the other heats?

They certainly did, and you have @Alla to thank for it.

 

[straightorbroken]

The Whooo-wh-aaaa-oh's are a homosexual awakening. A fairy has just got their wings this very second.

 

[ButterTart]

It's such a shame his entire family had to die.

 

[straightorbroken]

I am always surprised Robin S didn't cover this. "Robin's got a brand new bag" certainly would have been a delicious, subtle irony.

Was she in that shouty Japanese girl band?

 

[ButterTart]

Hold onto your tits @Kate, here's Culture Beat - Mr Vain. This came 5th overall.
