6th place

Poppy Baskcomb

Luminescent Visualiser

Entered by @funky

Score - 69 points



The budget video in keeping with Poppy's pound shop Dua Lipa vibes on this one.

POINTS BREAKDOWN

HOT POP FACT - the England football team played one of her songs in training (so she says, anyway)

MOST APPROPRIATE MOOPMOJI -

 

[Tisch]

16th place

Sahra Halgan

Sharaf

Entered by @Kate

Score - 39 points



This chugged along very nicely but was never in the top 10 contenders. Full credit to her for surviving & thriving after the Somaliland war of course.

HOT POP FACT - Sahra would sing all night as a nurse on the front line to comfort patients in lieu of painkillers.

MOST APPROPRIATE MOOPMOJI -

Bonus points for Somaliland representation though

 

[AlgoAlex]

[Iguana]

Oh hello sorry I'm late WHAT HAVE I MISSED

 

[funky]

OMG!

Hadi Bakalim

Entered by @Sardonicus

I discovered this when my cousin brought her album on cassette back from Turkey - this was apparently THE holiday hit of 1994 there.

HOT POP FACT - Sezen co-wrote the original Turkish version of Kiss Kiss by noted woke lefty Holly Valance.

MOST APPROPRIATE MOOPMOJI -

Oh I think I slated this a bit. SOZ DARL.

 

[ButterTart]

Ooh top 5

Can everyone stop being so bloody SMUG when I'm grieving?

 

[funky]

I'll take 6th. Love the song but thought it might be a bit safe for ASFM.

 

[Sardonicus]

Oh I think I slated this a bit. SOZ DARL.

You liked it until she WANKED ON a bit too long

 

[ButterTart]

Just realised I've voted for the entire top five, which I think is a first for me.

Is poor @funky even aware Visualiser is not part of the title.

Black Honey

Insulin

Entered by @BoysForSeles

Score - 50 points



This was cool & glacial & intrigued me enough to maybe explore further tracks.

HOT POP FACT - The original name of the band was What's Your Vice

MOST APPROPRIATE MOOPMOJI -

Aw this was the last one that didn't get a point from me

 

[dmlaw]

I was extremely angry about the way Poppy Baskcomb pronounced luminescent. I don’t want to say that it cost her points, but it cost her points.

 

[Tisch]

10th place

Butcher Babies

Yorktown

Entered by @dmlaw

Score - 55 points



I stand by my initial assessment that this is Belinda Carlisle & the Go-Gos meets Iron Maiden. Top notch stuff.

POINTS BREAKDOWN

HOT POP FACT - the band took their name from the song Butcher Baby by The Plasmatics, who were fronted by iconic diva, the much missed Wendy O Williams.

MOST APPROPRIATE MOOPMOJI -

This was amazing! It was very Kate coded and yet not...

 

[funky]

The tradition of me and @jyxz giving each other lots of points continues

 

[Sardonicus]

5th place

Tina Arena

You Set Fire To My Life

Entered by @Iguana

Score - 74 points



This was my bet to win at the start, but poor old Ig doesn't even finish ahead of Tisch Very good, maybe not as good as Chains, but then, WHAT IS?

POINTS BREAKDOWN

HOT POP FACT - Tina's real first name is Filippina!

MOST APPROPRIATE MOOPMOJI -

 

[Joseph]

I thought she was cancelled

 

[Iguana]

Why thank y'all, was expecting to come DEAD LAST but should have had faith in OUR TEEN/FILIPPINA

 

[Tisch]

8th place

Beth Sacks

You Can Have My Heart

Entered by @rhythmbandit

Score - 61 points



While not bad, I kept having to replay this to remind myself how it went.

HOT POP FACT - SHE'S DEAD, LOVE (as of last year)

MOST APPROPRIATE MOOPMOJI -

This was also amazing!

Aww, at the update though

Who was keeping the DEADWATCH excel updated?

 

[Tisch]

That really is the most appropriate Moopmoji.

RIP Beth, I hope You Can Have My Heart was more than an empty promise and you were actually on the donor register.

Terrible/Very funny! [Delete as appropriate]

 

[Iguana]

Aww, at the update though

Omg yes that's really killed the buzz

 

[ButterTart]

Oh yeah, You Set Fire To My Face was ace, well done @Inguinal

 

[funky]

I can't remember who I gave 12 points to but I have a feeling it's also who I expected to win. They haven't appeared yet.

4th place

Venus

Amplifier

Entered by @Tisch

Score - 78 points



Speaking of Tisch...it was impossible to find out much about this lot with the generic name throwing up everything else from planets to Bananarama hits to Gillette razors.

POINTS BREAKDOWN

HOT POP FACT - the girls made a comeback in October last year after 3 years away.

MOST APPROPRIATE MOOPMOJI -

 

[Iguana]

@Inguinal

DON'T YOU START AGAIN!

 

[Tisch]

Weird Genius & Pepita

Catalyst.

Entered by @ButterTart

I toyed with giving this points & although I ultimately decided against it, it's a banger & a half.

HOT POP FACT - the band won Best Sound Production Team at the 2020 Indonesian Music Awards

MOST APPROPRIATE MOOPMOJI -

Oh check your fridge because this WENT OFF

 

[ButterTart]

Another excellent choice. I'm almost ashamed of how much I enjoyed Amplifier (or as @funky would have called it, Amplifier Music Video)

I don't get this joke

 

[ButterTart]

This is a fucking STACKED top ten.

 

[Sardonicus]

3rd place

Suzane

Champagne

Entered by @NatAlex Gordienko

Score - 92 points



If it's not from that region of France it's only a SPARKLING BOP. This would have made a worthy winner but was hampered by a lack of 12 point scores.

POINTS BREAKDOWN

HOT POP FACT - a translation of the lyrics reveals it to be about social anxiety.

MOST APPROPRIATE MOOPMOJI -

 

[ButterTart]

I don't get this joke

for some reason, your song was being referred to as Luminescent Visualiser but it was the visualiser FOR Luminescent.

No, I don't know why they call it a Visualiser either.

 

[Tisch]

You liked it until she WANKED ON a bit too long

STANDARD

 

[Joseph]

This is a fucking STACKED top ten.

I haven’t been around for a ton of these but this was easily the hardest one that I have voted in. So many excellent tracks submitted

 

[OutSynk]

OH

MY

GOD

 

[Sardonicus]

It's a fight for the crown between @OutSynk & @straightorbroken - who will prevail? All to be revealed...

@ZenGiraffe gave 8 points to a song in FRENCH. This may be the true winner of the evening.

 

[ButterTart]

I've just checked and both songs were MINT so I'm happy with whoever wins as long as it's not @OutSynk
