    Luka is a great song, surprised she didn’t have another top 3 hit, Tom’s dinner and Marlene on the wall we’re two great songs too

    Cannonball grinds off me now, so Maria McKee

    The New Radicals - You Get What You Give
    Really like this song

    Len - Steal My Sunshine
    Kind of terrible, but can't help but enjoy hearing it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    You Get What You Give - Amazing song, amazing band, shame they split up so early pn

    Steal My Sunshine - Feel bad for not giving it my vote the first time, and as much as I love Safety Dance, Steal My Sunshine is just class.

    Glenn Medeiros because he aptly describes how I feel for this contest :D

    And....

    Glenn Mederios - Nothings Gonna change my love for you I HATE that get what you give song. Like seriously hate it. I wanna strangle the lead singer.

    Men Without Hats - The Safety Dance Harmless auld gick.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 6,921 Mod ✭✭✭✭Irish Aris


    Match 3: I won't vote, because I like both, Glenn Medeiros' song is like a guilty pleasure - I was 15 when it came out.

    Match 4: vote goes for Safety Dance, a song I grew into the last few years (I don't even remember Steal My Sunshine :o and listening to it doesn't tell me anything. . .)

    2025 gigs: Selofan, Alison Moyet, Wardruna, Gavin Friday, Orla Gartland, The Courettes, Nine Inch Nails, Rhiannon Giddens, New Purple Celebration, Nova Twins



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,026 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how


    R2 Match 3 - Glenn Mederios - Nothings Gonna change my love for you. Best of a bad lot

    R2 Match 4 - Men Without Hats - The Safety Dance. For the conviction of the singer winging about such a meaningless topic.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    My last two remaining nominations up against each other. :( Wish I could put both through but if I'm being forced to choose I think Safety Dance is the better song overall. So I vote for Safety Dance, but it'll be bittersweet whichever one goes through.

    I must listen to Glenn Medeiros before I make a call on the other one.
    EDIT: Oh I do that know song. And it's not good. Vote You Get What You Give.

    Match 4

    The Safety Dance, cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance, well they're are no friends of mine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,909 ✭✭✭✭Mam of 4


    You Get What You Give is my vote , because Glenn whatchacallhim had a whiney voice

    Safety Dance , love it , senseless song just fun !


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 6,310 Mod ✭✭✭✭mzungu


    You Get What You Give. Your man Gregg Alexander is a good songwriter, writes hits mostly for other people these days.

    Steal My Sunshine. Wouldn't be mad about it, but the lesser of two evils comes into play here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,699 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    New Radicals - really disappointed they never went on and did anything else

    Len - great summer tune

    First one is no contest for me.

    DRAGOSTEA DIN TEI!!!

    NUMA NUMA GUY!!


    Second one a little tougher but Cutting Crew is a fantastic song and should not be denied passage. So just watch and see as it is :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,404 ✭✭✭✭sKeith


    nena 99 red ballons - brings me back to my childhood years instantly.


    O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei - what a fun song.


    edit: red ballons - luftballons, doesn't matter, they the same song to me.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Dragostea Din Tei - catchy

    I just Died In Your Arms Tonight - tough one this, but a marginally better song.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    #5 - Voting for I Ran, because it's a good song in its own right but also because I can't stand that O-Zone one.

    #6 - Voting 99 Luftballons simply because it's the better song of those two.

    99 Luftballons I give it 99 votes, the words are melancholic about the destruction caused by a false alarm.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    I Ran - its one of my nominees and its class.

    I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight - also one of my nominees and also class.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,386 ✭✭✭✭TheValeyard


    R 2 Match 5

    O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei (more memorable)

    R 2 Match 6

    Nena - 99 luftballons (its a classic, great cold war song)

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.



  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,371 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Match 5

    I Ran. A song that was a lot better than the haircuts of its singers.

    Match 6

    99 Luftballons. Classic 80s track that's unfortunately still relevant today.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 6,921 Mod ✭✭✭✭Irish Aris


    ah, nice, 2 of my nominations in this one!!

    Votes go to:
    A Flock of Seagulls-I Ran
    and
    Cutting Crew-I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight

    (I will admit though that the German version of 99 Luftballons is classic 80's too!!)

    2025 gigs: Selofan, Alison Moyet, Wardruna, Gavin Friday, Orla Gartland, The Courettes, Nine Inch Nails, Rhiannon Giddens, New Purple Celebration, Nova Twins
