ASFM: Forgotten Hits 2: First Listening Party Night 1

[ZenGiraffe]

We need to have a “find an old song for ZenGiraffe to like” contest, which will follow my soon to be “find a Eurovision song for funky to like” contest which is #comingsoon

Telegram being where that Venn Diagram would meet!

Is Sandra one of those ironic moopy celebrities like Nerys Hughes? Or am I just unaware?

Not really. She was an 80s dance star, who was also married to the guy behind Enigma, which she was involved in.

 

[Raining on Me]

This experience is so much better than the individual songs themselves. This is inspired @RJN, not sure anyone has done an ASFM in year order before. But it absolutely WORKS

What? Sandra was a STAR all over the continent in the 80s.

 

[Tisch]

Too shouty and messy

The Guardian review of Moopy is in

 

[Marina Salty]

Not really. She was an 80s dance star, who was also married to the guy behind Enigma, which she was involved in.

Also something like Madonna for a couple of years if you were at school in the 80s

12. Mary Kiani,Queen of Clubs, presents her ASFM results

9.8/10 Brits wouldn't know her. We were busily enjoying Sinitta

[AGinAg (37)]

This is Mary Kiani right?

 

[RJN]

I love this 90s Scottish dance (this, QFX, etc)

 

[Tisch]

This is Mary Kiani right?

It's also Straightorbroken right?

 

[OutSynk]

Hated this at first but I think I love it now.

I know her because I enjoy OLD DANCE MUSIC.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

 

[RJN]

I know her because I enjoy OLD DANCE MUSIC.

you're preaching to the choir here

 

[RS]

This is nice

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This is obviously RIGHT DOWN MY STREET. I only really knew Real Love before which is INCREDIBLE

 

[RJN]

13. Elton John's mother hiring an Elton John impersonator to perform at her 90th birthday because the real Elton John cut her out of his life

Euphoria - Love Me Right

Australia #1

1992

 

[OutSynk]

It's also Straightorbroken right?

Of course it is. Bitch always delivers.

 

[Raining on Me]

Can you FEEL THE ENERGY

It's like someone typed "gay" and "euphoric" into one of those AI chat machines and well, not TOO BAD results I guess

 

[RJN]

I discovered this one when @Alla wanted to send it last year but it wasn't on Spotify. but now it is

 

[OutSynk]

I mean this probably played at the previous results show.

Come on, I already sent this a few ASFM back

 

[Alla]

Oh!

 

[RS]

OMG

 

[RS]

Oh.

 

[OutSynk]

Back to

shouty and messy

 

[Tisch]

Why do I completely recognise this? What was this on?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

It wasn't really worth sending ONCE

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Why do I completely recognise this? What was this on?

ASFM

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I have no recollection of this whatsoever

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Well if Adele can win X-Factor twice

 

[RS]

I love this journey through musical history

 

[Alla]

At least she sent the correct version of the video.

 

[Tisch]

ASFM

I don't think so? I think a dance rate or a somethingfestivalen?

 

[RS]

The music might be shit, but it’s nice to go through the different trends and sounds

 

[dmlaw]

Why do I completely recognise this? What was this on?

It wasn’t on an actual ASFM. It was in the second choice gala that I did after the last forgotten hits round.

 

[funky]

Can’t wait to get to 2000 so I can switch off and head to bed

 

[Alla]

Why do I completely recognise this? What was this on?

I tried to send it but it was rejected as it wasn't on spotify then. I played it in one of those DJ sessions one night.
