ASFM: Forgotten Hits 2: First Listening Party Night 1

[OutSynk]

This is basically an 80s theme disguised as a Forgotten Hits theme. @ZenGiraffe will sue.

 

[Raining on Me]

Wow I'd totally FORGOTTEN all these obscure FRENCH HITS from half a century ago

 

[AGinAg (37)]

A disco robot

 

[dmlaw]

This Terminator remake looks really shit.

 

[Marina Salty]

3 songs, 3 men, 1 robot

 

[dmlaw]

This Terminator remake looks really shit.

Still better than Genisys though.

 

[RJN]

Is the running order based on the release date?

yes

 

[AGinAg (37)]

A number 20 hit in France. Even the culturally awkward French rejected it.

 

[RJN]

Wow I'd totally FORGOTTEN all these obscure FRENCH HITS from half a century ago

well...

this one is great!

 

[RS]

This is what they thought 2023 would look like

 

[OutSynk]

There are bits in this I enjoy and bits I don't.

 

[RJN]

This is what they thought 2023 would look like

and yet, here were are, not even able to post gifs

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Those in-between years were hard for Kate Bush.

I'm LIVID

 

[Tisch]

Imagine if Kate Bush was french, couldn't sing live, was techno, and had a robot and a penchant for leather trousers

 

[RS]

This is the perfect filler to use for when you run out of songs to vote for.

(which means it could get anything between 1-12 points)

 

[Raining on Me]

There are bits in this I enjoy and bits I don't.

Definitely on the fence at the moment. But poised and considering it

 

[RJN]

[dmlaw]

Imagine if Kate Bush was french, couldn't sing live, was techno, and had a robot and a penchant for leather trousers

This is actually a leak from her new album.

 

[RS]

It does feel a hundred year long

 

[ZenGiraffe]

@RJN anything from after the Year 2008 when music was invented please?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I mean High Energy is 28/10, but I'm so familiar.

I think that's the second lift from my GAY NIGHT SYNC LISTEN

 

[RS]

Lovely ”forgotten” classic

 

[RJN]

@RJN anything from after the Year 2008 when music was invented please?y

yeah tomorrow is all Lady Gaga songs

 

[RJN]

High Energy is best known for getting to #18 in France

 

[Tisch]

We've had Evelyn Thomas before I think? Or was that just [insert literally any other ASFM 80s deepcut here]

 

[dmlaw]

I’d question how forgotten this is, but I’m too busy being glad that we’ve finally gotten a competent 80s song.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

yeah tomorrow is all Lady Gaga songs

You joke but you have no idea how close I was to sending Chillin

 

[OutSynk]

That long note. This is shit.

 

[RJN]

If anyone is wondering, I was planning to play the music from my mother's laptop and my use my laptop to post

but I can't get her laptop to open youtube???? How old am I

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Her enthusiasm and presence 10/10
The song 28/10
Make up hun/10

 

[RJN]

You joke but you have no idea how close I was to sending Chillin

20 points honestly

[Kate]

Pretty sure it was in our ICONIQUE lockdown dance music competition amongst other things

 

[Tisch]

Pat Benatar and naked men

 

[Raining on Me]

Why did I just go to like a post and a screen popped up asking me if I was sure I wanted to like it? Is this a new thing? Is it a moopy ghost? Is it a BEE?

 

[dmlaw]

That long note. This is shit.

Not everyone can be Natalia Gordienko*.

*’s hidden backing singers.

 

[RS]

When you know your running order and what year your song was released…

…well you can only really feel sorry for @ZenGiraffe
