Song 12: So Chan Whee - Tears (2000)

I feel like Tina Cousins missed a success trick not launching a career in South Korea.

I was only having a moment to Tina Cousins THIS MORNING!

 

[Diddy]

OMG I've fallen and I can't get up

SUBLIME AGONY

 

[Beverley]

is @ZenGiraffe listening?

 

[COB]

It's giving me Sash!, it's giving me Faithless, it's giving me Robert Miles FEATURING Maria Naylor, and most importantly it's giving me LIFE.

 

[COB]

is @ZenGiraffe listening?

He better be!

 

[RJN]

is @ZenGiraffe listening?

He's DEAD from this song

 

[Beverley]

its serving me turn of the century Balkan Eurovision entry

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

I hope you've included the Cantonese version of Take My Breath Away!

 

[COB]

The way you could absolutely just enter A Song For Moopy at ANY TIME and absolutely SMASH it @Haiku - the power!

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

I hope you've included the Cantonese version of Take My Breath Away!

knew I forgot something damnit

 

[Diddy]

Soaring vox, throbbing BPM, and a vaguely futuristic but nonsensical video

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

lemme add it last minute to the end of the playlist!

 

[COB]

I found an amazing J-pop cover of something in my research after the last round of this, and I hope it shows up

 

[Beverley]

knew I forgot something damnit

i'm OBSESSED with it!

 

[RJN]

Ready for this cover

 

[COB]

She got stuck to his tits

 

[Diddy]

The way you could absolutely just enter A Song For Moopy at ANY TIME and absolutely SMASH it @Haiku - the power!

OMG this is true

BUT FUCKING DON'T COME FOR MY GIG

 

[COB]

Mom's Touch

 

[RJN]

Mom's Touch

Papa don't preach

 

[Beverley]

just a little casual misogyny

 

[Beverley]

AND THEN SCREAM!

 

[Diddy]

HOLY SHIT
HOW did I miss this for Covervision?!

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Song 13: Yoko Oginome - Papa Don't Preach (1986 Japan)

From her 1986 album, Venus which also features covers in Japanese of "Venus" by Bananarama, "Two of Hearts" by Stacey Q and "Take My Breath Away" by Berlin. Future Moopy sync listen there!

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

HOLY SHIT
HOW did I miss this for Covervision?!

Yoko Oginome also did a cover of La Isla Bonita

 

[COB]

I feel like this song's subject matter might have been even more controversial in Japan than the US

 

[Beverley]

is it a direct translation, @Diddy ?

 

[COB]

is it a direct translation, @Diddy ?

The bit where she says papa don't preach definitely is

 

[Diddy]

is it a direct translation, @Diddy ?

I don't know exactly, but it seems ON THEME at least

 

[Diddy]

Maybe she's singing Poppadom Bitch

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Song 14: Julie Sue - Follow Your Feeling (1988 China)
Controversially, I may prefer this version to the original "You Always Win". A cute little take on the song!

 

[Beverley]

Maybe she's singing Poppadom Bitch

oh, don't START

 

[Diddy]

Song 14: Julie Sue - Follow Your Feeling (1988 China)
Controversially, I may prefer this version to the original "You Always Win". A cute little take on the song!

Holy cow, I'm loving this VIBE!

 

[Diddy]

Is this a cover of something?!

 

[COB]

The bit where she says papa don't preach definitely is

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

The Bee-Gees - You Always Win

 

[COB]

I don't think I know the original

 

[Beverley]

I don't think I know the original

me neither!

 

[Diddy]

Not "You win again"?
