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

[Alla]

Surprised Strike it up didn't make it!

 

[Kate]

This is all about the rap interjections (BRING THE BEAT BACK!) and the riff before the "hey hey" for me

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I am so confused right now. What were the 90s?

[ButterTart]

Jam & Spoon, Dutch Force, Layo & Bushwacka and LASGO (!) are the real shockers in that list for me.

 

[COB]

I am so confused right now. What were the 90s?

This song being older than you makes me feel ODD.

 

[ButterTart]

I had to check this because I thought it was an insane joke... it's ABSOLUTELY TRUE!

I thought she died of old age... she died YOUNG!

 

[ButterTart]

Semi-final 3 incoming very soon...

 

[Kate]

Oh well two more Phats & Small for everyone to ignore

 

[Alla]

I thought she died of old age... she died YOUNG!

I'm totally shocked and confused, I know she died little after J&A, but I thought she was in her 70s in that video! I'm still trying to process it.

 

[dmlaw]

Public Enemy in last place. Logic? was right about us.

Either that or it was atrocious.

 

[ButterTart]

I'm totally shocked and confused, I know she died little after J&A, but I thought she was in her 70s in that video! I'm still trying to process it.

Whenever I saw that video when I was young, she was always 'that old lady'. Watching it as an adult, she still looked old. I almost fell off my chair when I Wikipedia'd her for this rate.

 

[straightorbroken]

There are some top drawer rejects there.

Urban Cookie Collective and the recent Whitney jam spring to mind.

I enjoyed it but it's NOT DANCE

 

[straightorbroken]

I also got curious about revisiting Lasgo from this, not that I voted for it. Peter Lutz was consistent if nothing else: Will I Ever for Ian Van Dahl and The Rain for Peter Lutz and the Ukranian Kelly Llorenna were his peaks elsewhere ("and now I feel like such a goof" being his crowning achievement). The other guy seemingly went on to do Scream & Shout for Will.i.am and Britney. I also thought they were from Norway for some reason. Belgium obviously.

Maybe wikipedia is wrong? Surely this is not possible, what's next, Sinitta being 39? I need to check somewhere else.

I thought Whitney and Kygo were a shoe-in.

 

[Alla]

It looks it's true. One of the most shocking revelations I ever had here, thanks
Moopy's Greatest Dance Anthems!

 

[Kate]

SO yes this is where the Bucketheads track comes from and the lyrics are actually "Street sounds swirling through my mind". But I did like the Northern version

I'm being rocked to my core by all these bangers coming from MOR 70s and 80s songs. Still in shock at the Roger Sanchez revelation!

 

[Superstylin']

Playing catch up again .. the joy of being 8 hours behind old Blighty!

Sad to see Take Me By The Hand & Pearl River missing out but I'm pleasantly surprised (Actually OMFG!!&8* ) all my choice tracks survived the chop, even the bonus pick (which should never have been a bonus pick to be fair).

 

[Tisch]

Mr Vain is the first I have a memory about telling people "this is my favourite song!" I also thought she was singing about "Mr. Rain"

 

[Tisch]

Surprised about the muted resposnse to Sonique!

 

[Tisch]

We Found Love remains one of my favourite songs of all time. It has something. And it came along at the right time.

 

[Tisch]

When Love Takes Over is a fucking classic for the days and dont anyone forget it

 

[Tisch]

BETTER OFF ALONE IS THE BEST SONG EVER

 

[ButterTart]

WHAT ARE YOU?

 

[ButterTart]

I'm good at this.

All of the pre-1990 classics were yours, pretty much.

 

[ButterTart]

WHAT ARE YOU?

I didn't know that came from an olden days song! I was hospitalised the day I discovered Help! I'm A Fish was actually a Joan Armatrading cover.

Also, this only comes to 39 because Bucketheads was added after, lines had closed and it was a community choice.

 

[ButterTart]

I think you only had one in this round.
But never fear, you've got some big hitters coming up in semi 3.

 

[jyxz]

You do also realise that the Yomanda track samples Dance yourself dizzy doncha?

 

[Zu]

Jam & Spoon, Dutch Force, Layo & Bushwacka and LASGO (!) are the real shockers in that list for me.

Especially Dutch Force, which I see came 42nd

HONESTLY!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Despite a couple of WTF misses, what got through was the absolute tits.

 

[Zu]

Ooo Rising High Collective. Shall we have another?

 

[Zu]

Obviously I was too busy fighting in the other thread () but OH HURRAH regarding ‘Feel The Beat’ getting through and bravo @Lume for nominating it in the first place

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Feel the Beat is an absolute treat and marvellous at the gym back in the 00s when I used to go.
