The offical Moopy Eurodance EXTRAvaganza: Fri FEB 12th 9PM

[AGinAg (37)]

love cheap 90s dance's UTTER THIRST for a hot anonymous DIVA VOCAL!

Yes! I lived for it back in the day and well FOREVER

 

[dmlaw]

Kelly O in her "slightly less terrible hair" phase!

God, what's it normally like?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

It strangely was #1 on the MTV European Top 20 countdown

They were just dropping hit after hit.

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Move On Baby is also an underrated gem.

NOT the TOTP performance though. I almost included it for a gag but didn't want to LOSE VIEWERS!
I can only find it in potato quality ALAS!

 

[Soldi]

Absolutely LOVING all these so far!

 

[Tisch]

LIVE THREADS ARE AMAZING!

I hope @ZenGiraffe retires on a nice handsome pot.

It's a beloved Moopy favourite.

 

[Kate]

God, what's it normally like?

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I feel like Kelly O would have been an AMAZING EastEnders actress, possibly a SLATER COUSIN

 

[COB]

Music IS the vibe!

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

ICE MC: Think About The Way (1993, and re-released in 1996, UK number 38 and number 5 in Scotland)

Another Eurodance CLASSIC that for some reason just couldn’t CATCH A FIRE in the UK despite charting well all over Europe, including number 3 in Italy.

TALKING of Italy - the chorus on this is sung by Alexia of ‘Uh La La La’ fame, and whilst ICE MC was British I believe the producers of this song were German. Truly a European DREAM TEAM!

Think About The Way featured in Trainspotting, and I think it’s been sampled many times over the years. I think it could have been a much bigger hit in the UK had it had a bit more SUPPORT!

 

[Tisch]

Don't know about you all but I have absolutely DIED AT HOME at all of these so far

 

[ButterTart]

God, what's it normally like?

Like she has Cilla Black's stylist.

 

[dmlaw]

Her face has a certain look of a beardless Andy Hamilton in that picture.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This is so good. Hearing Europop in Trainspotting was such a treat!

 

[COB]

number 5 in Scotland

 

[ButterTart]

BUMDIGIDIGIDIGIBUMDIGIBOM

 

[ButterTart]

One of my favourite songs of ALL THE TIME

 

[Kate]

I wasn't very familiar with this until Dance Anthems Rate.

 

[Krustmas]

"Think about the way" is certainly ICE MC's best track. He actually was around in the year1990, like Dr. Alban or Snap! for a not-yet-fully-formed Eurodance sound - Top 5 in Germany:

 

[RJN]

Another BANGER

 

[ButterTart]

I was thinking Bonnie Tyler Goes Reggae

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Guys I'm on my second bottle and have been smoking weed.

Hitting the spot.

Bravo @wurst

 

[COB]

Who was it on Moopy that used to talk about those incredible French Dance Machine concerts, with arenas full of people going absolutely insane to these acts (that probably couldn't get arrested in the UK for the most part)? Because they are life changing

 

[AGinAg (37)]

FIND THE FEELING!

 

[ButterTart]

Guys I'm on my second bottle and have been smoking weed.

Hitting the spot.

Bravo @wurst

Ooh, I could wash this playlist down with a bit of speed. I've not got any, I'd just like to.

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Whilst note-writing I discovered QUITE a lot of these selections charted higher in Scotland than "the UK"

ICE MC: Think About The Way (1993, and re-released in 1996, UK number 38 and number 5 in Scotland)

Another Eurodance CLASSIC that for some reason just couldn’t CATCH A FIRE in the UK despite charting well all over Europe, including number 3 in Italy.

mad to think that so many of these tracks were smashes on the continent - the good music buying citizens of mainland Europe really were just HOT SLUTS FOR A TRASHY PARTY in the first half of the decade

 

[Tisch]

(till quite recently I thought this was a eurovision night, not a eurodance night, but omg this was NEEDED!)

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Ooh, I could wash this playlist down with a bit of speed. I've not got any, I'd just like to.

I mean weed isn't my preference for these lovely e fuelled banger, but it's been a cunt of a day!

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Netzwerk - Memories (1995, Italian number 2)

So we are taking strides into a brief dalliance with ITALY here, with this sad and mournful Eurodance track that was huge in Italy but seemingly unreleased in most European countries.

I think this is really lovely, if a little LIGHT on first listen. A eurodance sad-banger, who KNEW!

Would this have been a UK hit had it been given a release? Who knows! But seeing how big it was in Italy I wouldn’t bet against it.

Oh and if you can’t tell, whoever the woman is in this video, she ABSOLUTELY does not SING the vocal on this song (I also don't know if this even is the ACTUAL VIDEO for this song, it's just what YouTube sicked up )

 

[COB]

Would you expect anything less from the country that blessed the world with Mary Kiani?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Thing is, there TONS of Europop hits in the UK.

 

[Kate]

Never heard of these

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I don't know this one. It's tragic beauty.

 

[RJN]

I went through the list (just to make sure nothing was blocked!) and I truly think we will all be dead by the end of this

 

[Krustmas]

Netzwerk is one of the tracks that I've only learned about much later - it was not at hit in Germany.

It's really basic (even for Eurodance), sorry.

We all had a GOOD RUN.

 

[Krustmas]

That Gala track is nice but has nothing on her two 10/10 tracks.

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

It's a GROWER!
