Moopy's Greatest Dance Anthems: Semi 2 Results Gala. 9pm TONIGHT

[Kate]

NOW DEAD

 

[straightorbroken]

The youtube still for Boom Boom Boom is veru Geru Schizophonic era. Sorry for the spoiler.

 

[dmlaw]

Was she in that shouty Japanese girl band?

Yes. Yes, she was.

 

[ButterTart]

NOW DEAD

Which one? Mr Vain himself or one of Culture Beat?

 

[Alla]

I didn't nominate Mr. Vain because someone else was gonna do it for sure, but it got my votes, obviously.

 

[straightorbroken]

Culture Beat woman's vocals are perfectly waspish for this trash bag who wants S E X and plenty

 

[Kate]

Which one? Mr Vain himself or one of Culture Beat?

No, me

 

[ButterTart]

This really is a good song.

 

[straightorbroken]

I just realised I didn't notice these guys were in this heat too. I think BT sent me the wrong list.

 

[dmlaw]

Love Mr Vain. Slightly more accomplished rap than Another Night, but only just. Maybe it's a German thing. Zu-Klara to confirm.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

FUN FACT: The Party Album was my first ever album!

 

[ButterTart]

No, me

I thought you were taking @dmlaw's job of pointing out the corpses in every rewatch.

 

[Kate]

Not my favourite Vengaboys one but glad they are representin'

 

[Alla]

This was part of the Eurodance invasion in the US during the 90s, with What is love, Get ready for this, Rhythm is a dancer, More and more... "Fun" fact: US radio went insane during 92-94 and played some of these songs without the rap part! They played Mr Vain without the male vocals! Who was in charge, Kala? They did the same with Get ready for this, some weir edits removing the rap, god knows why.

 

[jyxz]

HOT AND SLIGHTLY DEMENTED E-TASTIC MIX ALERT (although I have now caught up )

Peak E realness

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Not my favourite Vengaboys one but glad they are representin'

Rocket to Uranus obviously takes that spot

 

[COB]

Antifa ICONS

 

[dmlaw]

No, me

The DJ who founded Culture Beat is actually dead. Car crash.

 

[straightorbroken]

Same goes for Captain Hollywood and Planet Perfecto. More on More & More #soon

 

[ButterTart]

Obviously this is Vengaboys - Boom Boom Boom Boom. One of @ZenGiraffe's picks.

It came 23rd, which feels unjustifiably low. Even Ron gave it points!

 

[ButterTart]

Not my favourite Vengaboys one but glad they are representin'

Uncle John From Jamaica was mint.

 

[COB]

Validating @ZenGiraffe's choices - NOT EVEN ONCE.

 

[ButterTart]

VengaRate
1. The lead singer
2. The other ones.

 

[Zu]

Which one? Mr Vain himself or one of Culture Beat?

The producer Torsten Fenslau. Responsible for those infinitely superior (x 5,000,000) Abfahrt songs I nominated which nobody bothered to listen to

 

[dmlaw]

This is the only Vengaboys song that I really have any time for. I wonder where he got the red cowboy hat.

 

[straightorbroken]

They did of course provide tag team masterbation material and I'll always be grateful to them for that.

[COB]

PETE

 

[Alla]

Uncle John sent it from Jamaica.

 

[ButterTart]

Is it dance?
Is it not?

It's definitely a qualifier. Dead of Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like a diary room chair when they're arresting Pete's jacket).

This came 11th.

 

[Kate]

Now he IS dead

 

[COB]

I think I didn't actually vote for this, to be fair - I knew it would get through, plus I sort of don't think of it as DANCE though obviously it is.

 

[jyxz]

I was late too. Sorry!

 

[COB]

Now he IS dead

Jury's still out as far as I'm concerned...

 

[ButterTart]

The producer Torsten Fenslau. Responsible for those infinitely superior Abfahrt songs I nominated which nobody bothered to listen to

One of them is coming to a semi-final near you VERY soon.

 

[Alla]

OH I think this was mine too.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Flo Rida did it better.

 

[straightorbroken]

I almost nominated Nukleopatra and became a little obsessed with their 90s video for Sweetness during my intense selection process. I guess there can only be one song that should be nominated from them though. Pete's guttural splattering was a vocal like no other.

 

[ButterTart]

OH I think this was mine too.

This was actually @Ag, who couldn't be here tonight because apparently his badger baiting trip couldn't wait til tomorrow.

 

[Alla]

Flo Rida did it better.

REPORTED.
