The offical Moopy Eurodance EXTRAvaganza: Fri FEB 12th 9PM

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Sin with Sebastian - Shut Up And Sleep With Me (1995, UK number 44)

As a 2 year old gay I remember this being advertised in Smash Hits and being QUITE CURIOUS, but wasn’t able to actually hear it until literally decades later when I looked it up on YouTube
How times have CHANGED! (See also: No Access by HONDY, which was a Smash Hits! Single of the week, and took me literally 20 years from reading about it until I heard it )

It was a toss up between Sebastian and an E-Rotic track for this TRASH SECTION SLOT, but Sebastian won out on the basis of being a FULLY FORMED CONCEPT

 

[ButterTart]

He looks like Annie Lennox, she sounds like her.

 

[COB]

Oh what the fuck

 

[RJN]

I don't know why I know Shut Up and Sleep With Me but I do and I listen to it at least once a week. Bizarre and and honestly relatable

 

[Kate]

Poor teddy bear

 

[ButterTart]

First dance at Tischguana's wedding, this.

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

It IS Very Annie Lennox isn't it? I'd LOVE to hear a Sin With Sebastian CHRISTMAS READING of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

 

[COB]

Getting vague repressed memories of BBC2's Gaytime TV coming back to me for some reason!

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

This got to number FORTY FOUR in the UK!

 

[Krustmas]

I've always thought the follow-up was even more hilarious

 

[ButterTart]

I have to say, I'm really enjoying this one

 

[RJN]

This got to number FORTY FOUR in the UK!

And number 1 in Spain!

 

[Tisch]

This got to number FORTY FOUR in the UK!

$ucce$$!!

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Trey D - Higher And Higher (DNC)

I don’t know anything about this, but it was suggested by @Krust and it’s VERY FUN, so enjoy all!
It’s basically every Eurodance song ever (especially Rhythm Is A Dancer) made SMASHED TOGETHER

 

[COB]

Fair play for something so unabashedly QUEER in 1995 tbh!

 

[ButterTart]

This must be the TreyD of the evening, then.

 

[Tisch]

Oh it's Rhythm is a Dancer again!

 

[COB]

I'm still agog at just how much some of these tracks ripped each other off, even down to the COLOUR PALETTE of the videos.

 

[ButterTart]

She's got snake bits where her legs and clack should be. Amazing the sort of people they can find to star in videos these days.

 

[Krustmas]

Thank you for this - it's basically like a parody of Eurodance but amazing at the same time.

[ButterTart]

The giant gob and House of Elliott haircut aren't really doing much for me, love. Good song though.

 

[Kate]

DEAD

 

[RJN]

The flashing horses

WHY?

 

[COB]

OMG!

 

[dmlaw]

Oh, here it is.

Just imagine me posting until the post length limit is reached.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Yes. Just yes.

 

[Tisch]

Oh my EFFING GODDDDDDD * DIES AGAIN*

 

[Tisch]

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Culture Beat - Mr Vain (1993, UK number 1)

I couldn’t not include this! One of the defining tracks of Eurodance, and a WORLDWIDE SMASH! I still have no idea what the song is all about
To my ears it remains Culture Beat’s best song, and the video has MORE than a whiff of an ORGY about it.

This is another that had a SLOW CRAWL up the UK charts, originally charting top 30 before it snatched the number 1. It’s be re-released multiple times since, and I think it even had further success in it’s RECALL version.

 

[ButterTart]

Mr Vain! Jesus, I took this for granted as a child.

 

[RJN]

I know I've called many things One of the Best Songs of All Time but Mr Vain actually is ONE OF THE BEST SONGS OF ALL TIME. Thank god I've switched from vodka sodas to double vodka sodas because it is time to dance

 

[COB]

I know WHAT I WANT
and I want it NOW

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Mr Vain! Jesus, I took this for granted as a child.

I didn't understand it lyrically as a child, and I STILL DON'T now!

Imagine going clubbing and this is the BIG SONG of the evening! The jealousy I feel for those who had that is EXTREME!

 

[ButterTart]

What time is it there?

 

[Krustmas]

"Mr. Vain" - has that version of the song in the video ever been released properly? The actual radio edit is inferior - same as with Dr. Alban's "it's my life" and Masterboy's "feel the heat of the night"

 

[dmlaw]

This was a question on Popmaster earlier this week. I had the correct answer before they actually played the clip.

 

[RJN]

What time is it there?

Stop time-shaming me!

 

[ButterTart]

I was a student years after this came out and it could still pack a dancefloor. When it was out and it was everywhere, it felt like overkill. Looking back, you realise how fucking lucky we were to have this music in the mainstream.

 

[Kate]

oh hi

It's My Life got dropped LAST MINUTE from tonight as it felt TOO FAMILAR! Perhaps I should have left it in and dropped that DREAMS song!
