ASFM: dmlawdifestivalen: Forgotten Hits - Semi Final 1 listening party 20/04/2021 8pm

[Rita]

I quite LIKED this one.

 

[RS]

I know who she is but I’ve not heard this song. It’s fairly new, no?

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I like this a lot. The Van Halen-esque synths are fun

 

[dmlaw]

I recall this being a reasonable hit.

Number 9. The chart positions will be below the YouTube videos in my posts.

 

[Raining on Me]

Was this the only good thing she did?

It really should have been MASSIVE. What an anthem!

 

[Tisch]

This gets stuck in my head A LOT. It's even better hearing it actually in person

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I’ve never heard it!

 

[Berly]

This song is dying to be a lipsync for your life

 

[Lucille]

The soundtrack to Phoe outing Bluejeans.

 

[BoysForSeles]

I have this Gabriella Cilmi album, I thought this would be bigger than it was.

 

[ButterTart]

Number 9. The chart positions will be below the YouTube videos in my posts.

This went top ten? Jesus, the charts were so much better in olden days times.

 

[dmlaw]

I know who she is but I’ve not heard this song. It’s fairly new, no?

2010. So very new in the context of these entries.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

That outro

 

[Tisch]

I often think about poor old GABS. Her Wiki is quite scant after 2013ish

 

[Raining on Me]

"I'll never give up, I'll never give up"

 

[dmlaw]

SONG 2 - Merganser

Real McCoy - One More Time



Australia #3, US #27

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Ooh the McCoy, I don't think I know this.

 

[Rita]

This wasn’t her biggest song though?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I think we're in for a very different event!

 

[Superstylin']

OMG i had totally fogptten about On A Mission. All i ever remembered her for was Sweet About Me & the Christmas advert song

 

[RS]

2010. So very new in the context of these entries.

Very new in the context of my awareness of pop music.

 

[ButterTart]

This one's new to me.

I can already tell this is going to be an absolute cunt of a contest to vote on.

 

[Phoenix]

Hmmm this feels pretty dated (not in a good way)

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Was this from the Another Night album? The last McCoy single I was aware of at the time was 'Love & Devotion'.

 

[Tisch]

I KNEW we'd get some 90s dance bangers, GET IN!

 

[ButterTart]

I love the bleepy NES title music backing track.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

This is a BOP!


(I'm channeling @jivafox tonight. )

 

[RS]

This is joyful only because it’s so 90’s.

 

[Superstylin']

Ooh the McCoy, I don't think I know this.

Same!! Quite enjoying it though

 

[ButterTart]

@dmlaw I can give points to all songs in this contest yes?

 

[dmlaw]

Was this from the Another Night album? The last McCoy single I was aware of at the time was 'Love & Devotion'.

Lead single from the follow up.

 

[Lucille]

How was this bit of ROUGH TRADE ever considered POP STAR MATERIAL?! I wouldn’t even let him in to FIX MY BOILER.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Ooh the McCoy, I don't think I know this.

This sounds like it could be any one of 143 other dance acts from the era. Not a criticism.

 

[Phoenix]

I like the chorus, it’s the guy I have issues with

 

[Raining on Me]

Was this Real McCoy song not released in the UK then?

Why not, it's ace?! Never heard it before either...

 

[Phoenix]

How was this bit of ROUGH TRADE ever considered POP STAR MATERIAL?! I wouldn’t even let him in to FIX MY BOILER.

Is that what you’re calling your hole these days?

 

[Marilyn]

These 90s dance acts were nothing if not consistent in their sound

 

[Raining on Me]

It sounds like Steps with a slightly more 90s dance TINGE

 

[dmlaw]

Was this Real McCoy song not released in the UK then?

Why not, it's ace?! Never heard it before either...

Number 78 in the UK.

 

[Berly]

If I did know this I’ve definite forgotten it! That chorus is strong!
