ASFM: Back To Basics - FIRST LISTENING PARTY

[Tisch]

Ooooooohhhh this was on @Frozen's country music playlist I think. It's properly lovely

 

[RS]

Oh dear, who is she?

 

[dmlaw]

I don't know why this woman is doing a Ronan Keating cover version.

 

[Soldi]

Not quite the PALI in the ASFM Greek song stakes

 

[Kate]

Well I got all excited seeing the name Womack and then it's some WHITE COUNTRY BITCH

 

[Tisch]

PLAY KENTUCKY FRIED CHRISTMAS

 

[Kate]

Is this the HEAP OF SHITE that @Rita promised us?

 

[RJN]

Lee Ann Womack??? I fucking love this song. It's a bit basic country but so moving, especially the background vocals in the second chorus on. It could make me cry in the right moment

 

[dmlaw]

PLAY KENTUCKY FRIED CHRISTMAS

Let's not get carried away.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

 

[Suomi]

this song shows the power of language though - imagine how much we’d all be queening out if ‘dance’ was replaced with ‘die’

 

[RS]

Now this is in dire need of Shania’s Blue album edition.

 

[RJN]

When I was a kid, I always used to tell my babysitter that she looked like Lee Ann Womack, but looking back she did not at all?

 

[win_the_game]

Now this is a REALLY VERY FAMOUS SONG isn't it?

Never heard of it before. Wish that was still the case.

 

[Soldi]

PLAY KENTUCKY FRIED CHRISTMAS

HOW ABOUT FUCK OFF

 

[Kate]

CHILDREN

 

[Tisch]

"I hope you dance"

Well, put something on with some GUSTO LEE ANN.

 

[COB]

Lee Ann Womack??? I fucking love this song. It's a bit basic country but so moving, especially the background vocals in the second chorus on. It could make me cry in the right moment

Am I correct to say that this was a massive hit in the US? I know it very well and I'm not a massive country fan, so I'm assuming it was big enough to somehow get through.

 

[Raining on Me]

Are we meant to know this? I don't and its gorgeous

 

[COB]

There's definitely at least one very gay dance mix of this IIRC.

 

[Lucille]

CHILDREN

Ok I gave it a chance but please BURN IT.

 

[Tisch]

OT: Is @Barnacle playing this time? Just curious x

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

I think this is the worst I’ve felt in 2022

 

[RS]

When will it ever end?

 

[RJN]

Yeah, and its still played all the time on the radio and in stores and stuff

 

[dmlaw]

It's very famous in the US and Ronan Keating did a characteristically appalling cover version, which I think was a top 3 in the UK.

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

OH FUCK OFF

 

[Suomi]

Sorry but that last 30 seconds with her children dead on the couch wtf

 

[dmlaw]

SONG 8 - Sweden

Caramell - Vad Heter Du?

 

[Soldi]

When will it ever end?

Once you’ve danced for her.

 

[RJN]

It got to number 40 in the UK, in what I believe was a LeeAnn Rimes-esque gay remix

 

[RS]

Omg what is this Swedish mess?

 

[Raining on Me]

She looks like she's just escaped prison, slung on that dress and is faking it hard, but I love that!

 

[COB]

OMG

 

[Kate]

Oh please god not THAT CARAMELL?

 

[Tisch]

She looks like she's just escaped prison, slung on that dress and is faking it hard, but I love that!

We still talking about Lee Ann?

 

[Suomi]

Dinah Nah

 

[RJN]

From the most American song possible to the most European

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

We still talking about Lee Ann?

Oh Lee Ann wishes!!!

 

[win_the_game]

Musically, I feel Moopy is regressing.
