Match 7: Stacy's Mom - because she's got it goin' on...

Match 8: Banana Boat Song - great song and because it was used perfectly in both Beetlejuice and Legends of Tomorrow

Match 9: Moonlight Shadow - it's a song I love and listen to frequently.

I'm not sure what's going on here - I am presuming we are voting for the funniest/most annoying track (like why is Mike Oldfield in this at all?)

Anyway The frog with Axel F gets my vote (because it's so irritating.)

Ah that one is already sorted.

Okay keeping it with frogs I'll.also vote for the frogs chorus and in the next one... I got high...because it's supposed to be comedic...again why is Moonlight Shadow here??

I can only put in what people nominated, if you think a song is better suited to the crap side then vote for the other song and vice versa, hopefully it'll all sort itself out as the voting progresses.

Fair enough, indeed Spook - strange nominations - so these rounds I'll just go for what I prefer;

Stacey's Mom is a better track than anything by Adam and his ants.
The Safety Dance because it nearly made it to the top of the One Hit Wonder

Dragostea Din Tei - O-Zone over YMCA because that (though they all looked like eegits) was actually a public service video!

Baby Shark because of it's irritating factor

24-12-2019 4:32pm

#10 Safety Dance - it's a class song that manages to be loads of fun while still not being a mere "novelty" song. Would rather see it do well in the Best 80's Tune thread than here though.

#11 YMCA - because OZone bugs the hell out of me.
#12 Baby Shark - I can see why the Scissor Sisters might fall into the category of a "feelgood tune" but it doesn't really fit either chuckle or cringe for me.
#13 Star Trekkin' - funny song and not Jedward (though tbf Lipstick was probably the least bad thing they recorded so won't begrudge them that)
#14 and #15 No opinion, pass
#16 Do The Bartman - seems to fit the brief better to me

Match 17: Barbie Girl - both great songs, but this one wins because of the "come on Barbie, let's go party" bit.

Match 18: Sweet Like Chocolate - better song, simple as.

Match 19: The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?) - surely this is the type of song that deserves to go far as it's equally funny and cringey.

Match 20: Teletubbies Say "Eh Oh" - if this came on in a club, it's the one more likely to get me on the dancefloor of these two songs.

Match 21: Rat Trap - Absolute classic, Dustin at his peak and Geldof with his two black snots hanging out of his nose. Also, it was one of my nominations.
