Boardsies Greatest One Hit Wonder Song - Live Thread

I love, love, love Luka but it’s gonna have to be Wicked Game for me. It’s just in a class of its own.

Not too pushed on the second matchup

First one is a very tough choice but Wicked Game just edges it.

Did you not vote against Sarstedt earlier because you felt it was cheese? Wicked Game is about the sappiest cheese you could find..

I don't find Wicked Game cheesy at all.

I like both but there is more listenability to luka, if i listened to wicked game twice your mans voice would start to annoy me.

Luka

There she goes better song for me

Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight

Only voting for Eagle Eye Cherry and only barely over There She Goes. Just prefer it a bit better, song of my youth tbh.

The other two can go suck a lemon I dislike both.

I'm now very curious as to what your definition of cheesy is..


Content-free, repetitive gushing at its finest..

Breaking news just in: different people have different opinions on different songs! (edit, sorry, rolleyes may have seemed a bit aggressive, not looking to cause any fights!)

Maybe naff would've been a better description for Where Do You Go My Lovely than cheesy, I don't even hate it I just find the tune a bit flat and the lyrics are quite OTT and kinda smug. I'm not saying Wicked Game is a lyrical masterpiece but the melody and the vocal are haunting and really creates a mood.

I'm just trying to understand what you mean by these slang terms.. What's "naff" now? :P

Squall Leonhart

I don't know if my vote is needed, but.

The La's - There She Goes.... just a perfect pop song isn't it?

Chris Isaak - Wicked Game, really like the song, unique sound

Kolido

Current scores

Suzanne Vega - Luka 2 7 Chris Isaak - Wicked Game.
The La's - There She Goes 5 4 Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight

quickbeam

Woulda gone Wicked Game.

Going Save Tonight though both are good songs.

sKeith

Its a fun song you can sing along to.

R 3 Match 5


The J. Geils Band - Centerfold

Vs

Nena - 99 luftballons.

R 3 Match 6


Divinyls - I Touch Myself

Vs

The Vapors - Turning Japanese

Tell me how

These matchups have a real Barcelona/Real Madrid in one and Panathanaikos/Brondby in the other.

R 3 Match 3 - Chris Isaak - Wicked Game. Just gets the vote, largely because of a YouTube comment which read 'I feel that I need a cigarette when this song is over.....I don't even smoke.'

R 3 Match 4 - Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight. Sneaks the vote because more effort went in to the video.

Tell me how

R 3 Match 5 - Nena - 99 luftballons. Classic

R 3 Match 6 - Divinyls - I Touch Myself. True love. Of a different kind.

ardinn

Nena

and

Touch myself

Just because I want to see nena touch herself and it reminded me of that!

Again I think some of these songs are going a bit further than they prob deserve but voting for my preference.

Nena and her balloons get it here.

The Vapors - Turning Japanese

A battle of MEH, turning Japanese being the less meh than the guy who sings about touching himself.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

99 Luftballons - two great songs, but 99 Luftballons is the one I listen to more often, and I'm glad it's the original German version of the song that has been included in the competition.

Turning Japanese - two songs about masturbation going head to head... classic! It was a close a call and my vote very nearly went to The Divinyls, but listening to both songs again and Turning Japanese is just a lot more fun to sing along to.

99 luftballons its a lovely song

Turning Japenese is a really lovely song

sKeith

R 3 Match 5


Nena - 99 luftballons. centerfold is good, but does not knock my youthful memories of nina and her 99 laft ballons,I even have spawing images of red ballons now for me to go chase.


R 3 Match 6

The Vapors - Turning Japanese the vapors comes out better on this round. The singer of the vapors reminds me of a friend from my childhood, and I think he actually turned japaneese, so this song gets my vote for that.

Declan A Walsh

R 3 Match 5 -
The J. Geils Band - Centerfold - annoyingly catchy.
Vs
Nena - 99 luftballons. - Better than the English version, and annoyingly catchy.
No vote here as I don't believe in voting for songs I don't like much!

R 3 Match 6
Divinyls - I Touch Myself - tedious.
Vs
The Vapors - Turning Japanese - Great new wave pop tune with a bit of an edge to it, and damn catchy! My vote.

Zaph

Got to go with my nominations here, so

Match 5 - 99 Luftballons

Match 6 - Turning Japanese

Voting for 99 Luftballons

and

I Touch Myself.

Just personal preference this time, no deep reasons beyond that.

Green&Red

Nina and her 99 balloons

I touch myself is an absolute classic, was it on the Austin powers soundtrack?
