ASFM Undercover Part II Watch Party 2

[dmlaw]

Who did the vocals on the original of that ABBA one? Was it Agnetha, Bjorn, the beardy one or Benny?

That is Her Serene Highness the beardy one, to you.

 

[ButterTart]

She's a right mardy old sort.

 

[RS]

It’s like @Soldi trying to get my 20 again but is only going to get a 4.

12. Cheese & Onion Taytos

Heather Nova - Gloomy Sunday



Originally a Hungarian song "Szomoru Vasarnap", first recorded in English by Hal Kemp in 1936 and then made famous by Billie Holiday in 1941.

It’s like @Soldi trying to get my 20 again but is only going to get a 4.

You're saving that 20 for three very metal girls, I see.

 

[dmlaw]

It feels like white people probably shouldn’t cover Billie Holliday. I guess at least it isn’t ‘Strange Fruit’.

 

[COB]

Oh I love a soundtrack song with really shoehorned in movie footage in the video

 

[Soldi]

It’s like @Soldi trying to get my 20 again but is only going to get a 4.

You’re not getting ANYTHING from me this ASFM anyway

 

[RS]

I haven’t heard this before but it’s the kind of song I’d listen to whenever I feel like dying, which is about everyday nowadays.

 

[ButterTart]

It's sort of like a Bond theme, except from a direct to video sequel to Octopussy (Nonapussy) rather than a main event one.

 

[Kate]

I haven’t heard this before but it’s the kind of song I’d listen to whenever I feel like dying, which is about everyday nowadays.

Apparently the Hungarian original is known as "The Suicide Song".

 

[COB]

The only other Heather Nova song I know is one that was used in an episode of Buffy. It's better than this, though this isn't bad either

 

[ButterTart]

London Rain and Renegade are both excellent, so I'll always have memories of those.

 

[OutSynk]

That was really boring ngl

 

[win_the_game]

Classy. Sounds like a Hooverphonic album track.

 

[ButterTart]

Apparently the Hungarian original is known as "The Suicide Song".

I bet it sounds like S Club Party by comparison to our Hev's version.

13. Pie & Chips

Betty Who - I Love You Always Forever



Originally by Donna Lewis.

 

[COB]

It's sort of like a Bond theme, except from a direct to video sequel to Octopussy (Nonapussy) rather than a main event one.

Maybe it could be used in one of the games, like that Joss Stone one

LICENCE REVOKED PLAYLIST STILL AVAILABLE EVERYONE

 

[RS]

Whatever happened to one hit wonder(?) Donna Lewis?

 

[ButterTart]

Oh fuck off, I've had this on my shortlist for ages!

Now at least I'll get to see how it would have done.

 

[ButterTart]

Whatever happened to one hit wonder(?) Donna Lewis?

She did a nice Christmas song.

 

[Kate]

Betty WHO? not as good as Betty Boo obviously.

 

[COB]

I don't know this song either! I just checked and it was a UK hit though, so this is my fault.

 

[RS]

Terrible cover though. Took the joy out of the original.

 

[COB]

Oh wait I've heard that chorus I think, NEVER MIND!

 

[ButterTart]

Betty WHO? not as good as Betty Boo obviously.

Both pale in comparison to Betty Moo

 

[win_the_game]

Oh wait I've heard that chorus I think, NEVER MIND!

It was one of the most overplayed songs of the 90s!

 

[OutSynk]

I've never heard it.

 

[COB]

It was one of the most overplayed songs of the 90s!

Not in my CIRCLES clearly

 

[ButterTart]

Oh wait I've heard that chorus I think, NEVER MIND!

Yeah I'd have thought you'd know it. It seems to get trotted out loads on commercial radio and I'm sure it's been on more than one advert where curly haired interracial women eat yoghurt and laugh on a promenade.

 

[jyxz]

I don't know this song either! I just checked and it was a UK hit though, so this is my fault.

Kept off US #1 by……

The Macarena

 

[dmlaw]

I’m just not sure there was any need to make this song even more lesbiany.

 

[Kate]

14. Chicken & Waffles Lay's

Lorna Fletcher - Just the Two of Us



Originally by Grover Washington Jr feat Bill Withers.

 

[RS]

Well this is lovely and all

 

[win_the_game]

I had no idea the Donna Lewis original spent 9 weeks at no.2 on the Billboard 100 in the US!

 

[ButterTart]

The voice!

 

[win_the_game]

Who the fuck eats an orange like that?

 

[ButterTart]

The album cover where nobody's told her you're not supposed to eat the plastic bit of a Kinder Egg!

 

[Kate]

There's definitely Oxo cube on that orange.

 

[COB]

Obsessed with this PIXIE!
