Boardsies Greatest One Hit Wonder Song - Live Thread

I find the accordion music in Where Do You Go To very atmospheric and will vote for it on that basis.

The other two I am actively voting against. Sod it, How Bizzare....but not by much.

And Where Do You Go To is just cheese, and not good cheese. Average cheese at best.

What's cheesy about it?

Tell me how

R 2 Match 23 - Peter Sarsted - Where do you go to, my lovely. Such a delicious song.

R 2 Match 24 - OMC How Bizarre. For a period, very day, school lunchbreak, 13:05 I used to hear this, couldn't figure how it was on at that time so often until I finally clicked that's what Larry Gogan was at with his '1 at 1 on 2'. Fond memories, therefore, gets the vote.

First edit of mine to change choice. Crazy was good as well.

Ready to go. It’s a brill song

Crazy. Better of two bad options.

R 2 Match 25


Marcy Playground-Sex And Candy

Vs

Berlin - Take My Breath Away

R 2 Match 26


Chumbawamba - Tubthumping

Vs

Alannah Myles - Black velvet

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Sex and Candy - its a classic 90s song and well deserving of a spot in the next round. Take My Breath Way is a decent enough song, but personally I think it well to get through round 1 and this should really be the end of the line for it.

Black Velvet - as iconic as Tubthumping is, it just can't compete with Alannah Myles here... Black Velvet is a potential Finals song.

Cos it's better than sex and candy by miles.

This is painful, I love both these songs but I'm backing Chumbawamba here as I nominated it.

Tell me how

R 2 Match 25 - Berlin - Take My Away. Second only to Law and Order for iconic use of the 'Dun Dun' tempo.


R 2 Match 26 - Chumbawamba - Tubthumping. More of a novelty act than a great song but it was a hit.

Take My Breath Away, great song and better than the alternative

Black Velvet, great song, a slightly tougher choice, but is a better song than the alternative.

Sex and Candy because I hate Take My Breath Away.

And Black Velvet because it's the better song and holds up better on repeated listens; Tubthumping is really only suited to particular moods/occasions.

Take my Breath Away, an absolute classic, and of course, Top Gun

Tubthumping due to the famous Homer Simpson line 'I drink a whiskey drink, I take a chocolate drink, and when I have to pee, I use the kitchen sink

Berlin - Take My Breath Away

Chumbawamba - Tubthumping

Green&Red

Tubthumping was a college anthem


Berlin is a classic

Take My Breath Away. Sure why not?

Chumbawamba. One of my nominations so sticking by it.

Berlin, I guess.


Black Velvet is brilliant.

Take My Breath Away You can actually feel the emotion in it.

Black Velvet I saw two lesbian strippers gyrating to this track in Santa Ponsa in the summer of 2005.

Token vote as this will lose but I do like it better tbh.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Ever Fallen In Love - superb song, far better than Pass The Dutchie, and it deserves to be in the next round.

2-4-6-8 Motorway - it's the better song here. Easy to tap the foot along to.
