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

Spook_ie · 23-12-2019 01:25PM

Stacey's Mom goes through 5:2 against Adam Ant

Pretzill · 23-12-2019 01:25PM

Match 13 of 32
Star Trekking it became so irritating but in a better way than even looking at Jedward

Match 14 of 32

I've Got A Little Puppy best of two brutally unfunny ones.

Match 15 of 32
Fog On The Tyne - Gazza & Lindisfarne - The original by Lindisfarne was a great track Gazza just ruined it enough.

Match 16 of 32
Do The Bartman - The Simpsons - It was of its time.

Do the batman- from when the Simpsons were brilliant

The smurfs - fantastic take on I want to be a hippy which is hope is also nominated somewhere lol

Star trekking across the universe always going forward cause we cant find reverse!

To be honest I didn't laugh at any of the above? Prefab Sprout? Am I missing something here - I was expecting parodies and silly stuff.

I'm in the same boat as you. I expected actual funny songs. Not just.... songs

Rikand · 24-12-2019 12:32PM

Also incase they have t been decided yet

Baby shark - cause my kids love it
Ozone - cause of Gary Brolsma
Stacey's mom - cause Stacey's mom is hot

Safety dance - because you can dance if you want to, you can leave your world behind

Also some of my original choices didn't make the top 40 - I think many funny songs don't chart overly well or even go into the charts.

I wouldn't be worrying too much there's another 32 entrants yet including the number 2 seed

Spook_ie · 24-12-2019 02:20PM

Will be calling some of these on majority votes before casting deciders on any that are closer in votes....

Match 10 Safety Dance 4:2 King of Rock n Roll
Match 11 Dragostini 3:4 YMCA
Match 12 I Don't Feel Like Dancing 4:3 Baby Shark
Match 13 Star Trekkin 3:2 Lipstick
Match 14 Witch Doctor 2:3 I've Got A Little Puppy
Match 15 Fog on the Tyne 2:3 Neanderthal Man
Match 16 Do the Bartman 2:4 I Useta Lover

24-12-2019 03:32PM

#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.

Voting this in protest of that other abomination of a song it's up against. Also, Wonderwall

Rat Trap because I prefer it.

Gonna vote for these:

#17 Barbie Girl (Aqua were strange but Turn Back Time is a legitimately great song)
#18 Wonderwall (unironicaly prefer this to the original!)
#19 The Fox (Wa pa pa pa pa pa pow!)
#20 I Don't know the Lego one so pass for now, might come back to it later
#21 The Chicken Song, because it's absolutely mental (although I do like a good bit of Dustin every now and then)
