ASFM: dmlawdifestivalen: Forgotten Hits - Second Choice Gala 07/05/2021 8pm

[Kate]

Took me way too long at the time to notice that this samples the Go-Betweens.

 

[Tisch]

Milky - Just The Way You Are

Another one that would have worked brilliantly with the forgotten hits theme. so much

 

[ButterTart]

This won't mean anything to the rest of you, but Milky looks a bit like my cousin Lisa except thin.

 

[Alla]

Hmm I think I don't know this Milky one, but I'm not sure, it's so similar to hundreds of songs from those days.

 

[Kate]

We were definitely talking about this recently. I think because MILK INC were in Dance Rate.

 

[ButterTart]

I'd have pissed points at this one.

Is it @Diddy?

 

[dmlaw]

This won't mean anything to the rest of you, but Milky looks a bit like my cousin Lisa except thin.

Imagine your cousin Lisa in that top.

 

[dmlaw]

When In Rome - The Promise

 

[ButterTart]

Imagine your cousin Lisa in that top.

It'll make a change to imagine her wearing clothes.

 

[ButterTart]

This is @Ag

 

[RJN]

@Ag has mentioned The Promise, so him

 

[Alla]

Oh The promise is such a great song.

 

[RJN]

I was very into this as a child, since it was on the Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack

It's still great

 

[ButterTart]

@dmlaw pls note I said this was Ag first pls give me the points.

 

[Kate]

Oh this was in Undercover right?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Yes. This was gonna be my entry, but I realised a cover of this had previously been sent.

 

[ButterTart]

Both versions of this we've had are fucking magnificent.

 

[Generic Account]

oh I'd have voted for this one.

 

[dmlaw]

This is @Ag

It sure is. I actually changed the rules to the competition after a couple of hours so that this would be eligible because it was only a number 11 US hit and didn't make the UK Top 40. No one noticed and then he changed it anyway.

 

[RJN]

A rare British song that was only a hit in America

 

[dmlaw]

@dmlaw pls note I said this was Ag first pls give me the points.

THERE ARE NO POINTS. You can have the no points.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I kinda wish I'd stuck with it.

It's FABULOUS

 

[ButterTart]

A rare British song that was only a hit in America

These are British?

 

[ButterTart]

THERE ARE NO POINTS. You can have the no points.

Still got more no points than everyone else, though.

 

[dmlaw]

We are getting towards the end. i don't want it to come as a shock to you.

 

[RJN]

These are British?

Yes

 

[AGinAg (37)]

These are British?

Yup from Manchester. The lead singer is described as a drifter poet on Wiki.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I love the video too

 

[dmlaw]

I kinda wish I'd stuck with it.

It's FABULOUS

It's better than dUb's cover. Don't tell him I said so.

 

[dmlaw]

Blancmange - Living On The Ceiling

 

[ButterTart]

Yup from Manchester. The lead singer is described as a drifter poet on Wiki.

I'll not hold that against him. He gave me this song so he gets a pass.

 

[ButterTart]

Don't know this one at all.

LOVING the northern singing.

 

[Kate]

Blancmange! Ha! Very much not forgotten in 80s nightclubs.

 

[Suomi]

IM UP THE BLOODY TREE

 

[Kate]

Don't know this one at all.

WHAT!

 

[Tisch]

Blancmange - Living On The Ceiling

I don't know why I know this but I love it so much. It used to have heavy rotation in the Tisch household back around 07/08. Properly bring memories back this one!

 

[Generic Account]

which city is this?

 

[ButterTart]

Lead singer's from Darwen, apparently.

They still can't get Channel 5 in Darwen.

 

[RJN]

which city is this?

California

 

[dmlaw]

Don't know this one at all.

You would struggle on Popmaster with Ken Bruce.
