songs which are on all early 2001 dance compilations and were hit singles but no one remembers them now

santos - camels
hatiras - spaced invader

Oh boy, I *totally* remember 'Spaced Invader' - I could sing it to you if you wanted!

'Camels', on the other hand, I have literally no memory of.

emil.y, Monday, 8 April 2024 16:43 (one month ago) link

Glad then that Spaced Invader erasure hasn't been totally successful, it's a cracking record

Other uk/european dance hits of the periods which I feel *are* remembered/still used on comps:
Safri Duo - Played-a-Live
Jakatta - American Dream
Planet Funk - Chase the Sun
Public Domain - Operation Blade (but not so much its inferior twin, Warp Brothers - Phat Bass)
Rui da Silva - Touch Me
M&S/The Girl Next Door - Salsoul Nugget

And more which could join Camels and Spaced Invader:
ATB feat York - The Fields of Love
Voodoo & Serano - Blood Is Pumpin'
Fragma - Every Time You Need Me
Simon - Free at Last (only a minor hit though)
Rhythmkillaz - Wack Ass MF (ditto)

Songs in which a woman takes a pregnancy test:

Nilsson - "1941" (positive!)
NRBQ - "It Was a Accident" (negative!)
Lovedrug - "Skeleton Jill" (we don't find out!)
Squeeze - "Up the Junction" (positive, although the narrator seems ambivalent about impending parenthood)

Any others? Implied in Madonna "Papa Don't Preach", though it occurs before the song begins so not sure if it should count.

Older songs that invoke this trope usually reference seeing a doctor, as home pregnancy tests weren't widely available yet. I wonder if younger listeners innately understand what the doctor visit is for.

Aerosmith - "Sweet Emotion"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_test

budo jeru, Thursday, 11 April 2024 22:39 (one month ago) link

Wow, I had no idea what "the rabbit done died" meant in Sweet Emotion. Apparently "the rabbit died" was code for "I'm pregnant" in lots of vintage films, and the "rabbit test" was the procedure performed in the days following the aforementioned doctor visits. In actuality the rabbit always died, pregnant or not.

"Album covers what display only a single bandmember?"

Two others are Groundhogs' "Hogwash" and The Runaways' debut

Brimstead's correct. (There was a fourth one I was trying to remember, like maybe Chris Mars on the back of a Replacements single?)

But MYB's on to something. Not sure about the two listed there, where it's the "star" or the primary member or Angus Young appearing on every other AC/DC cover. More like some random model who just happens to be in the band, like Clam Dip & Other Delights with Karl the bassist or the back of Mike's head on Double Nickels.

Not sure where London Calling would fit into this. It's different from the other two, you know?
