ASFM: Forgotten Hits 2: First Listening Party Night 1

[ButterTart]

1. Paris Latino

Hmm... The video is okay; I like the idea of expressing a severe personality disorder through the medium of dance, I just wish the song itself were any good.

 

[ButterTart]

2. Who's Johnny?

I kind of don't care who he is as long as he's no longer involved in music in any way. Is this the famous Elder Barge that RuPaul forever bangs on about?

 

[ButterTart]

3. Under The Ice

This has @COB written ALL OVER IT. I love the cutting edge technology.

 

[ButterTart]

"He was beeping out for someone to lend a hand" DId I hear that right?

Roby's voice is ICONICAL.

 

[COB]

3. Under The Ice

This has @COB written ALL OVER IT. I love the cutting edge technology.

I'm not playing, so not guilty

 

[ButterTart]

4. OH HAI, ENERGY

I have absolutely no fondness for this genre and even I know this one

 

[ButterTart]

5. Sex As A Weapon

A poignant homage to the Cincinnati Dildo Murders of 1985. Quite good, to be fair. I could have guessed it was Pat Benatar even without being told, it's all very on brand.

 

[ButterTart]

6. When The Rain Begins To Fall

What in the b-movie training montage is this? It's actually GOOD

 

[ButterTart]

Actually, it doesn't really go anywhere. It's not their fault though; olden days people were just quite shit at writing songs.

 

[OutSynk]

Actually, it doesn't really go anywhere. It's not their fault though; olden days people were just quite shit at writing songs.

Another one from the Music Was Invented by L. Gaga camp I see.

 

[ButterTart]

7. In My House

8. After The Love Has Gone

These were both 80s songs. I literally can't think of anything more exciting or descriptive to say about either of them.

 

[ButterTart]

9. Ça fait rire les oiseaux

My A-Level French is telling me this is something to do with birds or eyes. I think it might be my favourite so far because they're colour coded like Power Rangers and the bloke in the pink blouse is living for every moment.

 

[ButterTart]

10. Around My Heart

This one looks a bit like Sheridan Smith and the song is actually quite good, but I can't tell you how relieved I am to discover this is from 1989 and we're on the verge of hearing music by normal people.

 

[ButterTart]

The quality I admire most in an 80s song is BREVITY, so well done to you Our San.

 

[ButterTart]

11. Don't Wanna Fall In Love

I don't think you need to worry about that with that hairstyle, me duck.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Actually, it doesn't really go anywhere. It's not their fault though; olden days people were just quite shit at writing songs.

PREACH

 

[ButterTart]

I swear to God we've had this song at least three times already tonight.

 

[ButterTart]

Jane Child, look at the state you're in.

 

[ButterTart]

12. New Emotion

MOTHER has ARRIVED

 

[ButterTart]

My leaderboard has emerged from the 80s portion more or less untouched, but the 90s are already serving weapons grade nonsense and I'm very much on board.

 

[ButterTart]

13. Love You Right

Holy fuck

 

[ButterTart]

I love the determination of 90s dance vocalists to give themselves a hernia through frenzied honking.

 

[ButterTart]

14. Right Beside You

Not forgotten at all It's a staple of Now That's What I Call A Mother's Day Gift I Bought From The Garage On The Way Over.

 

[ButterTart]

15. 7 FUCKING SECONDS!!!

It's about as forgotten as 9/11 but it may very well be the best song ever submitted to ASFM. I don't know how generous I can be with points given the wilful disregard for the theme, mind.

 

[ButterTart]

And there's a MIIIIllion voices

To TELL you WHAT you should be THINKIN' so you better SOBER up for just a second

 

[ButterTart]

2 Eivissa

What has happened to the theme please? Not that I'm bothered when we get such a BANGTACULAR run as we've just had.

 

[ButterTart]

How Will I Know

This sounds very of its time, but a pretty good representative of its era.

 

[ButterTart]

Touch It

This is quite the bop

It manages to be slaggy, yet just a bit classy, like an escort who advertises her services in The Independent.

 

[ButterTart]

Thanks @RJN The second half of the playlist was such stuff as dreams are made of. The first half was 80s.

Push by Dannii Minogue sampled it and improved on it
