JX – There’s Nothing I Won’t Do
Nominated by @straightorbroken


There's nothing I won't do
Anything you want me to
I can't keep my hands off you
There's nothing I won't do

1996, UK, No. 4 smash! Our old pal Jake Williams is back! This is his fourth appearance on the list (twice as JX, once as Rex the Dog and once as part of Planet Perfecto), and by far his most popular. The vocals here are lifted from ‘Heartbeat’ by Seduction, which technically makes this another notch on the bedpost for C+C Music Factory and a top ten placing for Michelle Visage. It also samples ‘Funky Drummer’ by James Brown. I absolutely love this and wanted it to win if none of mine could. Moopy must have got wind of this and summarily fucked it over. I’ve taken it personally and I will be bringing formal charges.
 
Every song that passes makes me feel more that I don't want Robin S to win. It's good but it's not on the level of these songs.

Haddaway – What Is Love?
Nominated by @Rita


I want no other, no other lover
This is our life, our time
We are together, I need you forever
Is it love?

1993, Germany, No. 2 smash! Nestor Alexander Haddaway bagged himself an international megahit with ‘What Is Love?’, topping the charts in thirteen countries (but not in BREXIT SHAME BRITAIN). He followed this up with another THREE top ten smashes, none of which you could hum if I offered you a tenner. In 2016, Haddaway tried to crowdfund a movie called Neverending Dream about the Eurodance movement. It wasn’t successful, which I assume was down to him not prominently featuring Karen Parry in his campaign material. A character apparently sings ‘What is Love’ in Black Panther, but I’ve not seen it and I kind of feel a bit racist for that.
 
Our top five:

Black Box - Ride On Time
Corona - Rhythm Of the Night
Everything But The Girl - Missing
Livin Joy - Dreamer
Robin S - Show Me Love

Unsurprisingly, Moopy has cleared out any vocalist not possessed of a fanny.
 
MEME TIME
