Anita Ward - Ring My Bell

[Penelope]

What a LUDICROUS LOAD OF OLD TOOT



Shout out in particular to the DELIGHTFULLY fey Greek chorus on backing vocals

 

[funky]

I’d probably like this more if it hadn’t been sampled THREE MILLION TIMES

 

[Shirley]

Why it's just EVERYTHING

DING DONG DING! Ring-a-ling-a-ling! Aaaaaaah! *syndrum*

 

[Shirley]

MORE THAN EVERYTHING including MORE COWBELL:



The comments are really weird. Apparently Anita's COSMIC VIBRATIONS will bring you GOOD FORTUNE

 

[dUb]

Never knew about this until relatively recently

Oh I DO HOPE SO

 

[Joseph]

A no contest TEN

 

[Sheena]

It’s ABSOLUTELY UNIMPEACHABLE GREATNESS and I don’t have a BAD WORD to say about it.

 

[Agneeta]

WHY IS THIS IN THE POP TOILET?

 

[Agneeta]

Feels like self hate.

 

[Penelope]

Wait I thought I posted this in CLASSICS?! Someone move it there please.

 

[hyperwoof]

Its got that slightly british funky fail that the Dooleys and Stylistics suffered from. I still like it though.

 

[Sheena]

MY LOOOOOOOOVE (love for you!)
FOR YOU! (love for you!)
So LOOOOOONG I’ve been SAVING

[Shirley]

The NIGHT is YOUNG (AAAAAH)
And FULL of POSSIBILITIES

Y'know I have very distinct memories of going into a RECORD EMPORIUM (possibly Boots or the Boslowick newsagents in Falmouth) and this being displayed as NUMBER ONE on some kind of WALL-MOUNTED CHART LIST.

 

[lolly]

It knocked Sunday Girl off #1, and was replaced by Are 'Friends' Electric?

What a GLORIOUS little run

 

[Shirley]

FORTY FUCKING SEVEN YEARS AGO

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE



IT'S ALL COMING BACK TO ME NOW

 

[Sheena]

TAKE ME BACK

Albeit I was 1 so don’t remember THAT much…

 

[lolly]

A year when even CLIFF was BRIEFLY GOOD

 

[Sheena]

A year when even CLIFF was BRIEFLY GOOD

DON'T FORGET 1989

 

[hyperwoof]

Cliff is bewildering. Moments of excellence, lots of shit - real quality control issues.
