Moopy's Greatest Dance Anthems: THE RESULTS SUPERTHREAD

[Iguana]

Didn't this get released as a ballad too? How odd

 

[Rita]

Because you're banned from Buchannan street, we know dear.

THEY couldn’t afford ME.

 

[Alla]

It's Spain's finest contribution to worldwide music. Lovely.

 

[Tisch]

I wonder what Do is doing now?

 

[straightorbroken]

Now, I do enjoy the 2 bigger Dario G songs (and also Heaven Is Closer), but the vocalists are both atrociously soulless.

 

[Iguana]

Is she is Heaven with the angles?

 

[Iguana]

I wonder what Do is doing now?

Life oh life. Do do do do.

 

[dmlaw]

Imagine if VoR was doing these write ups. We'd still be here on Monday morning.

 

[straightorbroken]

THEY couldn’t afford ME.

The same line that got you lifted in the first place!

 

[Iguana]

Now THIS is WAY too low

 

[Kate]

Bloody kids. I was obsessed with Bryan Adams' Greatest Hits when I was 12 so this was just FILTH when it came along.

 

[COB]

Hopefully Eileen gets a nice mysterious chill wherever she is, knowing this has done well.

 

[Alla]

I can't believe Get ready for this didn't make it. No limit is good but it's not GRFT.

 

[Tisch]

Imagine if VoR was doing these write ups. We'd still be here on Monday morning.

Dance rate is meant to be a joyous affair!

 

[Kate]

Ahhh god bless our Eileen.

 

[Kate]

I can't believe Get ready for this didn't make it. No limit is good but it's not GRFT.

THANK YOU!

1993, Netherlands, No. 1 smash! This slice of early 90s lunacy was the first song I remember my Dad referring to as ‘just bloody noise’. It contains a sample of PKA’s ‘Let Me Hear You (Say Yeah). The original version features a rap which was completely excised from the UK release – maybe it was just a touch too ethnic for BREXIT SHAME BRITAIN. The Wiki article for this quotes a review from the Yorkshire Times. God knows, Europe won’t give a song time of day unless it can fill the floor at the Acapulco in Halifax.

I’ll get you a CROYDON FACELIFT if you don’t stop spreading these DISGUSTING LIES!

Doesn't appear when you @ him

Truly rip (in a suitcase on the M1)

 

[Alla]

AAAAAAAAHHHHH (a few haters of this one here, but WHATEVER )

 

[COB]

Ahhh god bless our Eileen.

Fingers crossed she takes a quick break from dying of cholera in Rhodesia to cut a rug to this.

 

[Alla]

They're going to dance
They're going to dance
They're going to dance
And have some fun

 

[Soldi]

 

[straightorbroken]

2 Unlimited were on another level. I'm just a lot more into Faces these days, but this is clearly their (2nd) pop culture moment.

 

[COB]

This is another one I appreciate more than actively like, though obviously Lady Miss is an icon.

 

[Alla]

I freaking love this.

Deee-Lite – Groove Is in the Heart
Nominated by @Alla

The chills that you spill up my back
Keep me filled with satisfaction when we're done
Satisfaction of what's to come

1990, USA, No. 2 smash! Warning! May contain traces of Vernon Burch’s ‘Get Up’; Herbie Hancock’s ‘Bring Down the Birds’; Bel-Sha-Zaar’s ‘Introduction’; the theme song from Green Acres; Billy Preston’s ‘Uptight’; Ralph MacDonald’s ‘Jam on the Groove’; Ray Barretto’s ‘Right On’; The Headhunters’ ‘God Make Me Funky’ and Hateful Head Helen’s ‘Hateful Head Helen’. Even the rap part was outsourced to Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest. I doubt that’s even Lady Miss Kier’s voice; she’s probably been dubbed by Britt Ekland.

 

[Tisch]

Is it me or does she have a whiff of Morgan McMichaels about her?

 

[COB]

The man who isn't Towa Tei is right up my street in this video, mind.

 

[ButterTart]

'The chills that you spill up my back' is the most horrifying lyric of the entire rate.

 

[dmlaw]

Whilst this is clearly towards the bottom end of the 50 for me, there's very little in this line up that I actually hate. I hope it's going to be on soon.

 

[ButterTart]

Is it me or does she have a whiff of Morgan McMichaels about her?

Yeah, I think it's the cock.

 

[straightorbroken]

Their charisma on display here is incredible. Lady Kier makes everyone else look like bums. No one has IT more than she did.

 

[Kate]

Waiting for Alla's "AAAHHHHHHH"

 

[Kate]

The video is tremendous yes.

 

[dmlaw]

'Hateful Head Helen' really is a fantastic name for both an act and a song.

 

[straightorbroken]

Speaking of Lady Kier's vocals here. The record label did not like this take at all and wanted it re-recorded.

 

[Soldi]

Omg UNDERRATED

My 10 is now GONE

 

[Alla]

'The chills that you spill up my back' is the most horrifying lyric of the entire rate.

Not worse than I'm serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer.

 

[Soldi]

LET ME BE YOUR FANTASSSYYYYYY
