amazingly (unless i'm going blind) this hasn't been done.

my choice : 'showing out (get fresh at the weekend)' - mel and kim.
fcking ace. played it at very loud ear-hammering volume last night, and it beats 'you spin me round (like a record)' into the ground.
i guess because it's more *brutal* than the dead or alive fave,
and i like that.

"I'd rather Jack!" by girl and another girl. Protest Music!

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 11:19 (twenty-one years ago)

The Reynolds Girls! We need them right now.

"You Spin Me Round", though. Or "What Do I Have To Do?".

Well I suspect if those SAW vs Judas Priest songs ever escape from their metal boxes I would want to nominate them. Apparently there's three of these songs.

Is Bananarama's "Shy Boy" a SAW production? If so, then that.

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 12:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Swain and Jolley there mate.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 12:47 (twenty-one years ago)

"You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" seconded.

Mmmm, lovely.

― Wooden (Wooden), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 12:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Probably 'Respectable' by Mel and Kim.

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 13:14 (twenty-one years ago)

My impulse choice: Bananarama - 'Love In The First Degree'

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 13:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Put my name next to the Reynolds Girls. Or maybe 'Tell it to my heart'.

― Affectian (Affectian), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 15:59 (twenty-one years ago)

"never gonna give you up"!

― motown modown (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 16:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Whilst I don't have massive SAW knowledge, it would be difficult to beat "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)".

― Nick H (Nick H), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't really know anything about them, what artists did they work with? what's their steez?

― JaXoN (JasonD), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 16:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Respectable

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

"once in a lifetime" by bananarama. yeah.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 17:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Better The Devil You Know, knee-jerkly, but so. many. possibilities. There really does need to be a box set of everything they ever did ever at some point.

― Alex in Doncaster (Alex in Doncaster), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 17:15 (twenty-one years ago)

"Together Forever" by Rick Astley, for nostalgia value. And because nobody else has said it yet.

Bet no-one votes for Cliff Richard's "I Just Don't Have The Heart".

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 17:23 (twenty-one years ago)

well, i said "never gonna give you up." close enough. :-)

― motown modown (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 17:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry, never saw that ;)

I found this a lot more difficult to think about than other OPOs. I almost said "Last Thing on my Mind" by Steps, or "Step Back In Time" by Kylie. And virtually everything else mentioned so far.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 18:17 (twenty-one years ago)

A half-hearted vote for Donna Summer's "This Time I Know It's For Real."

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 18:44 (twenty-one years ago)

why half-hearted?

― motown modown (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 18:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Because I've forgotten many of their productions and I'm sure I'll be reminded of something far superior to TTIKIFR.

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 18:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll go with "Venus" because "You Spin Me Round" has already been said.

― Seb (Seb), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 19:33 (twenty-one years ago)

another vote for "Together Forever"

― derrick (derrick), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 21:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Another vote for Dead or Alive's "you Spin Me...'. What a tune! It's great.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 21:14 (twenty-one years ago)

"Roadblock". Seriously, no shitting you, this and "Cross The Track" were THE tunes of the 1987 Notting Hill Carnival. Respect!

― mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 22:00 (twenty-one years ago)

"Love in the First Degree".

(With honourable mentions to "Happening All Over Again" by Lonnie Gordon and "This Time I Know It's For Real" by Donna Summer.)

― Richard C (avoid80), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 22:04 (twenty-one years ago)

If I can only have one, it'll have to be "What Do I Have To Do?"

Kylie--Turn It Into Love!

― dr. phil (josh langhoff), Wednesday, 27 October 2004 00:19 (twenty-one years ago)

everyone on this thread: if you don't already own "wow" by bananarama, get it now.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Wednesday, 27 October 2004 00:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow was my favourite album when I was six I think.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 27 October 2004 00:33 (twenty-one years ago)

five years pass...

reynold's girls or roadblock for me. honourable mentions for happening all over again and tell it to my heart. actually no, say im your number one towers above all the rest

just read this on the pwl empire site:

Q: "Who provides the spoken vocals on the 12" remix for Divine's 'You Think You're A Man' - is it Pete Waterman?"

A: Yes, it certainly is Pete talking on the 12" remix; although it wasn't the first time that Mr Waterman had appeared on vinyl - check out his work under the name of 1418 for a full Pete Waterman vocal treat! (You may need to look pretty hard for this material - it originally surfaced in the late 1970s)

anyone heard this 1418 thing?
