DO IT FOR HER
This brings back back memories. I took on a. New role at work and did SOMETHING a bit wrong and wrote an email to the colleague explaining what happened and that i was sorry and instead of acknowledging that I knew perfectly well what had gone wrong she went on a tirade on how I "could of done this" and "could of done that"... I'd have corrected her of I wasn't so fumming and sick to the back teeth.

Me too, but as I get no adverts I'm always ahead, I refuse to stop it now so no names.

IN THIRD PLACE:
Black Box – Ride On Time
Nominated by @Tisch

1989, Italy, No. 1 smash! ‘Cos it’s WIDE ON TIME’ isn’t just the Whatsapp message I get from @Kate whenever I update my Instagram, it’s also the lyrics to this as long as you sing them wrong. Originally released using a sample of Loleatta Holloway’s ‘Love Sensation’, rights issues meant it was re-released with vocals by Heather Small, who always sounds like she swallowed a boiled sweet funny just before recording each song. In fairness, Black Box believed Holloway was dead, so wouldn’t mind them nicking her vocals. Holloway has since claimed she’s not only alive but was never paid for the sample. Rigorous cross examination has failed to verify either of those statements.

This is Heather Proud's best vocal. After "Small" of course.

She wants to look after her vocal chords. All this shouting, she'll end up sounding like Gala.

I would have been happy for this to win actually. But not EBTG. It had BETTER BE ROBIN S!!

I didn't nominate Ride on time because it was gonna make it anyway, so I went for their biggest hit in USA, Strike it up, which I freaking love too, but didn't get enough love here. Shame.

Which means...
SECOND PLACE
Everything But the Girl – Missing (Todd Terry Mix)
Nominated by @Superstylin’
Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead of everyone
We’d walk behind while you would run
(Possibly my favourite lyric of the entire rate)
· 309 points
· 114 points from the vote (5th place)
· 195 points from the rate (2nd place)
1994, UK, No. 3 smash! An iconic miserybanger that Billie Ray Piper herself would flick her bean to, this was the handiwork of Hull-based duo Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt. If you’re having trouble placing Tracey, just picture the lovechild of Emma Wray from Watching and Head from Art Attack. EBTG enlisted American producer Todd Terry (last seen camping it up with Martha Wash and Jocelyn Brown further down this list) to transform ‘Missing’ into the house anthem they envisaged it as when writing it. It doesn’t contain any samples as far as I can find, but it was itself sampled in the original Tina Cousins version of ‘Deeper Shade of Blue’. A rare honour indeed.

I think I predicted the number 1. One of THE gay anthem of all times!

Fun fact: Tracy Stubbs was meant to record this. On the day she broke her fibia. Tracy Thorn kindly stepped in and history was made

Oh thanks for playing the version I suggested @ButterTart This club mix was the version they played the most on US radio.

The Choir of the Missing went on BGT and didn't think to have a bash at this. Silly bastards, no wonder their loved ones fucked off without telling them.

I do like Missing and I bought it on cassette single but I think it's TOO HIGH!
Mr Kate sees Our Trace around Hampstead now and again. Apparently all her neighbours hate her cos she keeps trying to dig out her basement and shit.

Digging out an entire basement just to have a shit seems like a lot of effort. Does she not have a commode?
