Its like someone put Erasure, the lads who did Safety Dance and the Barenaked Ladies into a blender and served it to me. An odd song that isnt bad, but I am not a fan of the chorus and the song does not bring me back for more.

A swing and a miss.

Flying Lizards wanna bet?

I just love this track. No matter if its the original or sampled, I just love everything. The vocals, the hook, the riff’s, the bridge to the chorus, and the flow. Its just an epic track, it gets you feeling awesome. Just amazing from start to finish. Wonderful choice

A nice intro sets me up and has me swaying my head in appreciation , as the song settles in it's a nice but it gets repetitive very quickly. It's not quite annoying me with the repetitiveness, as the tune is nice, but ultimately its not the bands best work. The song never really takes off for me.

Not their best work, but I was really struggling with this category and I didnt want to submit one of the obvious ones

This is a great version of the same song ::

Also check out their bathroom session of One Week

Understandable. I didn't think this at all, just went with the first thing that popped in my head. C'est la Vie. . .

I also love them, a splendidly awesome group who have so many bangers.

The OJays had to win it for me. Just such an iconic tune.

I'm shocked nobody went for Barrett Strong or the Flying lizards.

Me too.

I was first introduced to this tune when Charlie Baltimore sampled it for the soundtrack of A Long Kiss Goodnight.

Just love the guitar riff

Yeah that's a great song too. I sort of made up my mind pretty quickly once I saw the category though.

Was thinking of this one either, but wasn't sure if it would have counted

Its a bit like heeps, I thought picking ABBA would be too obvious and score low

I thought this too and instead I picked the same song as two others
