Moopy's Greatest Dance Anthems - Semi-Final 5: THE RESULTS (starts at 9pm)

[Cerro de Casa]

Tracey Thorn aka The Queen Of Sad Bop POP

 

[ButterTart]

This has been a run of songs I didn't vote for cos I knew they would get through anyway

Yeah, I think I'm pretty much the same.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Hearing CGYOOMYH for the first time DRUNK at about 1am really was a SPECIAL MOMENT.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I think I just prolapsed.

 

[Tisch]

Don't know this one

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Kelly Mango now. Either through accident or malice, Can't Get You Out Of My Head only managed 22nd.

Oh that's just fine. It was never going to win. But it sounds AMAZING (as ever) following your opening gambits.

 

[jyxz]

Tit tape

 

[Tisch]

I *think* I gave it nil points because I was in the mood this morning of "if it's not dancy it shouldn't be on the list" but some beer and some wine in obviously is a huge BOP and isn't out of place on ANY list

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Me and the girls used to know ALL THE MOVES!

I was in a cheesy nightclub in Canterbury and I thought it was a new Ace of Base number.

Imagine!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh wow Sandra!

Some 80s EUROPOP how LOVELY!

 

[ButterTart]

Now this one I had NO IDEA where to stick it in the playlist. I just decided to bring the gay interest section forward a bit.

Sandra - Maria Magdalena. This came 35th.

 

[COB]

Sandra!! I'm agog this got through, but also VERY GLAD

 

[Tisch]

Me and the girls used to know ALL THE MOVES!

My straight friend demonstrated the moves in my lounge!

Spoiler: he's gay now

 

[Cerro de Casa]

YAS BITCH WERK

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Looks a bit like a young Mariah!

 

[ButterTart]

Yeah, it was EVERYWHERE on drunken nights out in 2001, so that's 'club classic' enough for me.

 

[Kate]

Meh, not dancey and a bit sub-Laura Branigan, I thought.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

That bassline. Ugh

 

[Tisch]

Timebomb was my nom for the same reason so I can't comment.

I don't know what this is and it wasn't on Spotify but I'm LIVING for the man's backing vox

 

[ButterTart]

80s fashion really does look like it was invented by an abstinence lobby. Just consciously unsexy.

 

[dmlaw]

I don't exactly dislike this but the production sounds very dated. It makes SAW sound modern.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Meh, not dancey and a bit sub-Laura Branigan, I thought.

Self Control is probably my No. 1 karaoke song of all time. And yes I always nail it (I fashioned a straw! You are a solarium addict! Cutie of the evening! etc. )

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Meh, not dancey and a bit sub-Laura Branigan, I thought.

I'll remind you... you NOMINATED WHITE TOWN!

 

[COB]

I once saw a YouTube comment saying Sandra looked like a younger and more beautiful Cheryl Cole in this video. Where is the lie?

 

[ButterTart]

Christ, that's like Greensleeves level.

 

[dmlaw]

Looks a bit like a young Mariah!

She actually only three years younger in this video than Mariah was. In 1985.

 

[COB]

Just remembered going to a bear bar in Berlin and being crestfallen they were playing generic current pop and not Sandra

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh holy fucking SHIT Kristine W,

I only discovered her about five years ago, but HONESTLY, it was revelation CENTRAL!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I once saw a YouTube comment saying Sandra looked like a younger and more beautiful Cheryl Cole in this video. Where is the lie?

NO LIES DETECTED.

 

[ButterTart]

And now here's Kristine W (The W stands for WHO?) - Feel What You Want (Our Tribe vocal edit).

This came 39th, and it was quite the discovery for me.

 

[Tisch]

I've always loved songs that fadeout as the singer continues to mime

 

[COB]

Two people were having a heated discussion in German about Amanda Lear though, which was nice.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

@straightorbroken needs to know that we're listening to Kristine.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

That IS nice!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I'm not familiar with Kristine W's oeuvre but I'm here to get schooled.

(And get in next week's top 10 potw)

 

[jyxz]

39th?

OMG

Gay emergency

 

[dmlaw]

I listened to all of the songs before voting, but I would swear that I have never heard this song in my life.

What sort of sick bastard gives alcohol to bears / makes bears work in hospitality? I'm phoning Greenpeace.
