ASFM: Forgotten Hits 2: Listening Party part 2 (4 pm)

[OutSynk]

We'd better not be starting as we mean to go on

 

[RJN]

I don't think I'd heard this before, but I like it a lot

 

[RJN]

20. Susie enters the Big Brother House

Miranda - Vamos a la Play

Italy #4, Canada #9, Canada Dance/Urban (?) #8

1999

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Just going to pretend this is the first song of the night

 

[Kate]

Why is she miming both of the completely different vocal parts

 

[dmlaw]

You can come back @ZenGiraffe There’s a French slag pretending to be Spanish.

 

[RJN]

21. Jimmy Carter Attacked By Berserk Swimming Rabbit

French Affair - My Heart Goes Boom (La Di Da Da)

Number 1 in Austria and Germany

2000

 

[dmlaw]

Why is she miming both of the completely different vocal parts

She’s a talented woman.

 

[OutSynk]

The video reminds me of the last contest @Tisch hosted.

 

[RJN]

the color scheme of that last video was very rihanna at the super bowl

 

[Kate]

French Affair? Are you shitting me

 

[RJN]

Number 44 in the UK but 12 in Scotland

 

[dmlaw]

Miranda put a lot more effort into keeping her miming somewhere close to the backing track than Rihanna bothered with.

 

[Kate]

Seriously, everyone who didn’t participate in ButterTart’s Dance Rate over lockdown needs to be banned from ASFM

 

[dmlaw]

Number 44 in the UK but 12 in Scotland

I will never understand why they didn’t lead with that in the independence referendum campaigning.

 

[Kate]

I mean WHAT NEXT? ROBIN S?

 

[OutSynk]

Should've gone with Poison at least.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I will never understand why they didn’t lead with that in the independence referendum campaigning.

Bits n pieces got that honour

 

[RJN]

Surely Robin S is far more known than this? It was hardly a UK hit

Quite a lot of the dance rate songs are fairly forgotten by the world at large. Although this reaction is making me glad that I resisted entering Carry Me Home by Gloworm to this.

 

[RJN]

22. Alanis In A Nude Suit

Lara Fabian - I Will Love Again

Belgium & Poland #2, US #32, US Dance Club Play #1

2000

 

[Kate]

My point is that anything that made it to the final of that rate is VERY MUCH NOT FORGOTTEN!

Oh. My. God. @aquaplex you need to drop everything else now.

Forgiven, not forgotten.

 

[Kate]

Well I don’t know this and tbh I would have preferred it to stay that way

 

[Marina Salty]

Poor forgotten Mylene Farmer next please

 

[dmlaw]

I wonder if we’ll get a song from the unknown who beat this woman at Eurovision.

 

[RJN]

The “No no no no no no” bit sums it up really

 

[Kate]

Is the sound on this one this tinny for everyone or is it my hotel TV?

 

[OutSynk]

Bring back the 80s

 

[RJN]
