Moopy's Greatest Dance Anthems: Semi-Final 4. RESULTS 9pm

[BoysForSeles]

(Actually this is so different I'm wondering if it were Metro who did this instead )

I loved it and it was on the shortlist of songs for my wedding first dance before that all went tits up. It just missed the top 40 which was disappointing.

Well he deserves jail for denying your friends and family the wedding reception playlist of the century.

Let’s have a couple more votes before the end of the day.

 

[Kate]

A friend just sent me this.

 

[jyxz]

I wanted to hate this at the start and then it just became amazing!

 

[Kate]

Nonny nonny NOOOOOOOOOO

 

[ButterTart]

A friend just sent me this.

I love stuff like this. Brilliant.

 

[ButterTart]

It looks like they've done loads. There's also a link to a medieval cover of One by Metallica, which I won't share here because a dance rate on Moopy is neither the time nor the place for such things.

 

[ButterTart]

And now it's led me onto synthwave covers of 00s pop songs. This one being the most dance rate appropriate:


In conclusion, that's my night sorted. Cheers @Kate!

 

[ButterTart]

On tonight's edition of 'shit I should have nominated', DJ Aligator's confrontational anti-apartheid anthem 'Lollipop'. While it's no secret that @ZenGiraffe provided the vocals on this one, you may be surprised to discover that it was on this video shoot that he met @COB who, at the time, was a jobbing actor. Skip to 0:22 to see COB's star-making turn as 'Pleather Slag #1'.

 

[ButterTart]

And the women on the bed? Kate, Rita and Floppet.

 

[ButterTart]

I’ll be @-ing everyone later, so if you don’t want the incessant nagging I’ve got in store, get your votes in ASAP.

With Alison Limerick it was the tougher sounding Dancing Divaz mixed reissues of her two biggest hits I liked best in the mid 90s rather than when they first charted in 1990.

No

Sorry bab doing Soldivision first.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Been listening to the playlist today, and it’s giving me LIFE. Not as crazy strong as round two though.

Round two was a beast. Some of my absolute favourites are in this semi, mind. I'm not saying which ones because I don't want to influence anyone's decision, but if they don't get through I'm cancelling the rate and involving the police.

 

[Dark Carnival]

ACAB!!

 

[Kate]

I wonder if Dave Spoon is pals with Ralph Fridge.

 

[ButterTart]

I wonder if Dave Spoon is pals with Ralph Fridge.

He is, they frequently collaborate with Gavin Spicerack and DJ Lazy Susan.

 

[Kate]

Hoping noted MC Geoff Saucepan gets involved soon.

Hoping noted MC Geoff Saucepan gets involved soon.

He died four years ago

At least he died doing what he loved, being hit at 70mph by a stolen Land Rover.

 

[Kate]

RIP

I am assuming one of these is Southern Sun so I can only apologise for my forthcoming votes. Favourite previously unknown trance slag track this round is An Angel's Love. Thanks Mr M.O.R.P.H.!

 

[ButterTart]

M.O.R.P.H looking well in that picture. Who was his little beige friend who was a bit evil sometimes? Not Tony Hart.

 

[ButterTart]

A few more votes in today, and only 8 points separate the top 10! This one's going to be close.

 

[Kate]

C.H.A.S. wasn't it?

 

[ButterTart]

C.H.A.S. wasn't it?

YES! But he never made it as a trance auteur, so it's no surprise M.O.R.P.H fucking hated him.

 

[ButterTart]

11 sets of votes in now, and two days left to go.

 

[ButterTart]

Here's one from the 'shit I should have nominated vault'. I can let myself off for this one though, because I'd completely forgot it existed until I started doing this rate. Even so, pure early 00s feels incoming.

 

[jyxz]

Was BBE ‘Seven days and one week’ nominated? (I can’t find the finalists thread)

Sadly it wasn’t. I’ve just put together the playlist for the last semi and it wasn’t on there

 

[ButterTart]

Something called ‘Slant Magazine’ has just published their hundred greatest dance songs of all time.
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.slantmagazine.com/music/100-greatest-dance-songs/amp/

I’m sorry, but what a load of WANK. How can you call it a dance rate when it’s not even got Lasgo? Clearly Americans who wrote this.

 

[straightorbroken]

Whittled them down to 37. A fairly straightforward non-broken cull. Will have another private listening party tonight

Completely unrelated, but I do remember the legions of gays who would list their favourite music simply as "Hed Kandi" (I never owned even one of those bizarrely). I'm never not surprised at people's lack of imagination when it comes to dance music - look at how many times Eternal were nominated for Best Dance at The Brits.

 

[Rita]

I will have a bit of a BOP to them later @ButterTart and start whittling my list down darling.

Oh God, Hed Kandi! What even was that? I used to see the compilations all the time, but I never actually bothered to investigate further.

There are some songs in that Slant list that are just uptempo. The Hand That Feeds by Nine Inch Nails is uptempo, but like fuck is it a dance song.
