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

[ButterTart]

Robyn, covering Calum Scott's Dancing On My Own.

This was winning for ages, then Moopy decided the winner needed to be even gayer. It eventually took the bronze medal.

 

[straightorbroken]

Sophie Ellis-Bextor: thoroughly modern Berri.

 

[COB]

I refused to give this points because it was the radio edit

 

[ButterTart]

Is this about her fancying a gay man or a straight girl? 'I'm not the guy you're taking home'.

 

[Alla]

Oh Sophie. I didn't vote for this but I really like it.

 

[COB]

AM I TOO FAR AHEAD

 

[ButterTart]

Freemasons ft. Sophie Ellis-Bextor. This came 12th overall, which was a nice surprise.

I forgot this song existed, and now I'm listening to it almost hourly.

 

[COB]

Pausing for about thirty seconds - just over a minute into Sophie.

 

[straightorbroken]

I'm going to dab my forehead and resume in a few minutes. I think I'm a song ahead.

 

[COB]

Sod it, I've unpaused.

 

[ButterTart]

AM I TOO FAR AHEAD

I went back a bit, then I realised I was too far back. I'm into the second verse of Heartbreak.

 

[dmlaw]

I had also totally forgotten that this existed, but it's excellent. Sophie is too posh for a lot of songs, but it works here.

 

[ButterTart]

@dmlaw Sophie Ellis-Bextor - yes or no?

 

[Alla]

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!

 

[COB]

The other problem with this is that it's basically just the Freemasons mix of Ring the Alarm, but as an actual song they have the rights too.

 

[jyxz]

Dahnser and ahnswer.

That’s not how we speak up north.

 

[ButterTart]

I remember when she was in theaudience and thought she was all cool.

 

[Alla]

This is definitely mine, I didn't think people would vote for it, it's a bit forgotten, isn't it? Well done Moopy

 

[COB]

Quite a topical video now

 

[dmlaw]

@dmlaw Sophie Ellis-Bextor - yes or no?

I'd initially have said no but she looks good in this video.

 

[ButterTart]

Another one that came as a surprise qualifier to me: Captain Hollywood Project - More and More.

This came 33rd.

 

[COB]

I know it was a pretty common sort of beat to use at the time, but all I can think of is Absolutely Fabulous by PSB when I hear this

 

[Alla]

Believe it or not this was a bigger hit in the US than in UK!

 

[ButterTart]

I'd initially have said no but she looks good in this video.

Precisely why I asked

 

[straightorbroken]

Love More and More. I knew it from the Now album and I hadn't heard it at all before. Also the same guy behind Twenty 4 Seven.

 

[Kate]

I didn't remember this one at all which I SHOULD seeing as it's the classic female-singer male-rapper 90s combo. I like it now.

 

[Alla]

Coronavirus

 

[Kate]

The SUPERIOR Corona track.

 

[ButterTart]

With regard to @jyxz's comment about Sophie's accent: Who here says 'larst' and 'arnswer', and who speaks properly? Show of hands please!

 

[Kate]

It's all about the COOOOOLLLLD CHEEEELS DOWN MY SPIIINE!

 

[ButterTart]

The SUPERIOR Corona track.

It REALLY is.

 

[straightorbroken]

Baby Baby - basically the clitoris of Eurodance.

 

[Kate]

With regard to @jyxz's comment about Sophie's accent: Who here says 'larst' and 'arnswer', and who speaks properly? Show of hands please!

I grew up in Kent innit

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Two Shoes did it better.

 

[ButterTart]

Corona - Baby Baby, just nudging in at no. 10.

 

[straightorbroken]

It's all about the COOOOOLLLLD CHEEEELS DOWN MY SPIIINE!

I remember always thinking she sang "coorrr" as in blimey

Are you a cockernee? I have a friend from Gravesend, so I'll just assume you sound like her.

 

[dmlaw]

The SUPERIOR Corona track.

Yeah, I agree with that. I wouldn't have thought so before this week, but it's a great song.

 

[ButterTart]

Baby Baby was a @straightorbroken nominee.

 

[Kate]

I'm not a cockernee, but I'm not quite Sophie Ellis-Bextor posh either.
