Moopy's Greatest Dance Anthems: THE RESULTS SUPERTHREAD

[Soldi]

@Tisch just WENT OFF to this

VIDEO PROOF PLEASE

 

[dmlaw]

Bizarrely I'm playing Do It Again instead. Dancing On My Own has no place here, grossly inflated by an out of proportion fanbase here.

I voted down the songs which didn't really feel like proper dance anthems, but I couldn't with Robyn. It's too good.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Mr Vain is such as a BANGING!

 

[Tisch]

Mr Vain is the first song that was ever my "favourite song". I used to BOP to it at discos when I was 5.

I later turned into a gay (unrelated)

1993, Germany, No. 1 smash! I accidentally deleted the write up for this, so I’ll have to do it from memory. Basically, this lass called Tanya is the lead singer and she looks a bit like Sandi Bogle off Gogglebox these days. This song used to be on at the youth club disco all the time and I have many a fond memory of copping off with a year 5 to it by the pool tables. Slightly less whimsical when you realise I only started going to them in 2014. This is dead good and that, and they did some other songs. Or they might not have. @straightorbroken can fill in any gaps I may have left.

Stop making me read the write-ups

 

[Iguana]

I thought this song was a bit of a kitsch joke but she looks VERY serious in the video

 

[Kate]

My PERSONAL top 5 of what's left is Faithless, Haddaway, Real McCoy, Robin S and Gala.

You missed a dead. Torsten Fenslau, the producer behind this, should learn to drive more carefully.

 

[Soldi]

Whoever nominated Insomnia deserves a KNIGHTHOOD/MBE/OBE/ALL THREE

 

[Alla]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

This should be top 10!!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

obviously I love Livin Joy again. I suspect Robin S will did well.

 

[Tisch]

My PERSONAL top 5 of what's left is Faithless, Haddaway, Real McCoy, Robin S and Gala.

Marry me

 

[Kate]

Mr Vain also will always remind me of my 38th birthday where I danced to it on my own in an empty hotel nightclub in Cyprus, after drinking the entire all-inclusive cocktail menu. Mr Kate may have video footage.

 

[ButterTart]

I've thrown in a little interval act so we're all caught up in time for the top ten.

 

[Iguana]

The Rhythm Is A Dancer video is SO dramatic!

Black Box - Ride On Time
Corona - Rhythm Of the Night
Everything But The Girl - Missing
Faithless - Insomnia
Haddaway - What Is Love?
JX- There's Nothing I Won't Do
Livin Joy - Dreamer
Real McCoy - Another Night
Robin S - Show Me Love
Snap! - Rhythm Is A Dancer

WHO'S WINNING THIS, LADS AND KATES?

 

[Alla]

Glad that my last song standing made the top 10. I had a feeling it would do very good.

 

[straightorbroken]

My PERSONAL top 5 of what's left is Faithless, Haddaway, Real McCoy, Robin S and Gala.

I'd also be Berri happy for Queen Haddaway to snatch this.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I also quite like the male version. I know I'm not meant to. But I do. Eat my tail.

@Iguana HAVE A WORD!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Snap! Is such a SLAP!

 

[Alla]

I'm more on tender hooks about which version of Ride you are going to dazzle or subject us to.

I think that might have been in the write up I deleted. Cheers though, I hate to leave a corpse behind.

 

[Kate]

I SUSPECT it will be Corona or Livin' Joy for #1. But I hope not.

 

[Alla]

And another one I didn't know before this, god knows how this finished in the top 10.

I hope Livin Joy winning a again

What SNAP??

Do you mean Seek Bromance? It's the interval act, it's not in the rate. I just needed a buffer before the top ten.

 

[Kate]

errrrrm. My playlist has gone onto something weird.

 

[Soldi]

What’s this shit @ButterTart

Surely SAFRI DUO AND AQUA should have reunited for the INTERVAL?!

 

[Kate]

OH.

I FORGOT TO ADD A WRITE-UP!

Snap! – Rhythm is a Dancer

I’m as serious as cancer
When I say rhythm is a dancer

1992, Germany, No. 1 smash! Missing out on the top ten may not be quite as serious as cancer, but it must still sting like a bitch. This one samples ‘Auto Man’ by Newcleus. Thea Austin is the vocalist here, and I have no further information on her than that. This was apparently never intended for release as a single. Good job it was, or we’d have had to find another song to fill the number 11 slot. Bastille assaulted it as part of their 2013 war crime ‘Of the Night’. They’re due to appear before The Hague in 2021.

I need a H H H H @funky

I'm happy with a #15. WHAT A TUNE
