Boardsies Greatest One Hit Wonder Song - Live Thread

Ficheall

Buzzcocks and the Calling, but I'd be perfectly happy if none of them got through.

#27 - Ever Fallen In Love... is the better song.

#28 - Not a fan of either of these tbh and can't think of any reason to go for one over the other. Pass.

ArnoldJRimmer

Ever fallen in love, classic tune

2-4 6-8 Motorway for the second, that Calling tune is fcuking awful

Mam of 4

Pass The Dutch ie On The left Hand side... ha , great pick whoever nominated that

2 4 6 8 Motorway , class tune Q B !

Pretzill

Ever Fallen in Love 'cos it's a better tune and I love Tom Robinson so his (one?) hit gets it for me too.

Zaph

Match 27

Ever Fallen in Love. Have to vote for one of my own nominations.

Match 28

2-4-6-8 Motorway. Such a catchy song.

Dee-Lite-Groove Is In The Heart

Vs

Furniture - You Must Be Out Of Your Brilliant Mind

R 2 Match 30


Marc Cohn - Walking in Memphis

Vs

The La's - There She Goes

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Groove Is In The Heart - great song, way better than that other one.

There She Goes - tough choice, but have to go with The La's on this one, just better memories connected to that song.

Walking in Memphis. Great song. A lot of memories attached. And my nomination.

ArnoldJRimmer

Groove is in the Heart as its a better tune

Walking in Memphis even though it ruined the weekend I spent in Memphis by being stuck in my head the whole time.

Groove Is In The Heart - Not only is it funky, but it's funky fresh.

There She Goes - Quintessential late 80's early 90's fluff.

Memphis

Electric Nitwit

Groove Is In The Heart, because I can't read those words without my brain fitting the tune

There She Goes, because I love it

Ficheall

Furniture. The other thing is painful to listen to.


There She Goes, but both good songs. Actually saw Cohn opening for Bonnie Raitt a couple of years ago - needless to say, everyone only knew one song...

R 2 Match 31


Rubber bandits - horse outside

Vs

Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart

R 2 Match 32


Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's Delight

Vs

The Vapors - Turning Japanese

Green&Red

Joy division cause it’s an amazing song


Second one is tough but I’ll go with rappers delight

Love Will Tear Us Apart - I mean it's just objectively far superior, as fun as Horse Outside may be.

Rappers Delight - again, just a better song. And less irritating than Turning Japanese.

Zaph

Match 31

Love Will Tear Us Apart. An amazingly good song that just has to beat a novelty song.

Match 32

Turning Japanese. Much and all as I love Rapper's Delight, I have to go with the one I nominated.

R 2 Match 31
Rubber bandits - horse outside
Vs
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart - My Vote.

R 2 Match 32
Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's Delight
Vs
The Vapors - Turning Japanese - My Vote. - I like both it has to be said.

Ficheall

Horse Outside and Turning Japanese.


Neither great, but about the only thing the competition is "objectively superior" to is a wet fart in a bucket of beans.

quickbeam

Would have voted against Horse Outside regardless of what it was up against, but Love Wil Tear Us Apart is an epic song and deserves to go through in its own right.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Love Will Tear Us Apart - as tempted as I was to vote the other lads for a laugh, there's already enough jokey songs gone through to the next round in the place of actual good songs, and I'd hate to see Love Will Tear Us Apart suffer the same fate.

Turning Japanese - it's just the one I prefer of the two. Rapper's Delight is such a long song, whereas Turning Japanese gets right down to business straight off the bat and gets the job done in no time at all.

quickbeam

And Turning Japanese, marginally better, though not a fan of either really.
