ASFM: dmlawdifestivalen: Forgotten Hits - Semi Final 2 listening party 22/04/2021 8pm

[Phoenix]

I mean it's fine with one amazing bit that's all too brief

When did you become so negative?

 

[jivafox]

Was it like Germany's "This Is England"?

 

[GNL]

This is honestly GREAT.

 

[dmlaw]

Can't believe it lasted for 89 series

Even more than the Nightmare on Elm Street films.

 

[GinAg (39)]

It was also the theme to Deutschland 86 and Deutschland 89.

Yeah but 86 was shit and haven't watched 89 yet.

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

Weirdly, I think the chorus works a lot better in English and that’s not because of racism it’s because of placement of consonants.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Was it like Germany's "This Is England"?

no.

 

[ButterTart]

Well, that was quite the opener.

 

[Raining on Me]

When did you become so negative?

1983, but hang on I don't think I am really, and I don't think that comment especially was?!

 

[dmlaw]

SONG 23 - Loon

Lena Fiagbe - Gotta Get It Right



UK #20

 

[GinAg (39)]

Oh fuck, I REMEMBER THIS!

 

[Kate]

This is ringing a bell, but it might just sound like something else.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Oh I haven’t heard Lena in at least a decade. The opener had a great chorus but was it enough for points?

 

[ButterTart]

Never heard this, and had NO IDEA Josie D'Arby had a singing career.

 

[GinAg (39)]

This was a very middle-sized hit in about 1993.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

This sounds so familiar but probably because it’s so formulaic.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

The lyrics are very Des'ree

 

[Alla]

Lena Fiagbe, a name I recognise but I don't think I know anything she did. This is quite good.

 

[Alla]

The lyrics are very Des'ree

Yes!

 

[Kate]

The lyrics are very Des'ree

Yeah I think that's what it's reminding me of. You Gotta Be

 

[ButterTart]

The lyrics are very Des'ree

Gotta get it right
Gonna have a fight
About a pair of tights
Ooh I get the shivers

 

[GinAg (39)]

Can't believe it lasted for 89 series

Germany has been going on for well over 100 series.

 

[ButterTart]

Lena Fiagbe, a name I recognise but I don't think I know anything she did. This is quite good.

Yeah, I recognise the name.

 

[GNL]

This is very NICE. Very of its time, but I do LIKE that time.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

The lyrics are very Des'ree

Was going to say

 

[Phoenix]

Number 20 in 1993 is the rightful place for this.

 

[Raining on Me]

This is quite nice Des'ree-esque stuff. But not too memorable

(Too negative @Phoenix ?)

 

[Alla]

No idea how to pronounce Fiagbe tho.

 

[OutSynk]

The opener had a great chorus but was it enough for points?

Honestly there are better versions of it. Recently discovered this one:

 

[ButterTart]

It's nice but a bit wafty, I can imagine enjoying it on the radio but making no effort to find out who it was by.

 

[GNL]

No idea how to pronounce Fiagbe tho.

I'd assume Fee-ag-bay.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Oh this is

 

[Kate]

SPACEBOY!!! A very much NOT FORGOTTEN BIG FAVE here

 

[ButterTart]

 

[Tisch]

Ooh I know and quite like Hallo Spaceboy

 

[GNL]

Ooh a couple of UNDERGROUND acts here.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Oh this is on my list for the next GAY NIGHT. This is ridiculously camp.

 

[dmlaw]

SONG 24 - Flamingoes

David Bowie - Hello Spaceboy (Pet Shop Boys remix)



UK #12

 

[BoysForSeles]

No idea how to pronounce Fiagbe tho.

Fee-ag-bay

 

[Kate]

Do you like girls or boys? It's confusing these days
