ASFM: Back To Basics - FIRST LISTENING PARTY

[RJN]

This comment on youtube:

my parents took me to every musical that was to hit our shores when i was a child..and this is one song that brings back so many memories of my mum especially when she was fighting breast cancer..this was her theme song she used to dance around the lounge room to this song saying to me it doesnt matter what the out come is ..shes gonna have fun..and she is still with us to this day i believe because of this positive attitude

It's the straight Your Disco Needs You

 

[Lucille]

I don’t hate it!

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

What a memorable opener!

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

He's got a massive bell and he knows how to use it.

I’m noticing a bit of the ocean so I’m not raising the subject of the flag.

 

[COB]

The DANCING DANCING DANCING part was a bit Disco Tex and the Sex-O-Lettes

 

[ButterTart]

A flag with no colours, a song with no video. Who is our mystery minimalist?

 

[Kate]

It’s a bit ABBA tbf

 

[Raining on Me]

Well I'm not hating this silly twee rubbish. I mean, it's a curveball at least.

SONG 2 - Glückstadt City

DEAD BLONDE - Мальчик на девятке

 

[ButterTart]

Okay I've given Dead Blonde a 10 based on intro alone, please don't make me regret it.

 

[COB]

First of MANY Russian songs, I'm assuming from the flags.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I'm on board with this. I'm just going to pretend that this is the first song of the night

 

[dmlaw]

First Russian song and it's not from one of the Russian flags.

 

[RJN]

This is more like it

 

[ButterTart]

What a shit car to steal.

 

[COB]

Fancy the bald one x

 

[Tisch]

Amazing already yes I know we're up for lots of songs with 3's and backwards R's in the title aren't we?

 

[Kate]

Cyrillic bangers bandwagon NOT DEAD YET THEN.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

This Russian genre has overtaken the Asian ditto in terms of basic.

 

[Lucille]

The twitch in my bussy slowly turning into THUNDER

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

I do enjoy her particular brand of charisma

 

[ButterTart]

Yes, this will do nicely. I feel like the curse of 2nd place might face its first serious challenge tonight.

 

[RJN]

Russian ✓
Slut banger ✓

[Soldi]

First of MANY Russian songs, I'm assuming from the flags.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Yeah no sorry, this isn’t as good as previous similar Russian songs we’ve had.

 

[COB]

That first-person DOOM style shot

 

[ButterTart]

I do enjoy her particular brand of charisma

Sort of like a disdainful hooker who's made enough money she can shop in Tessuti instead of JD Sport these days; we all know the type.

 

[Raining on Me]

Fabulous emotionless tat with a fit bald bloke. WIN WIN

 

[Suomi]

it’s good but it basically copies the video for Lisa Scott Lee - Lately

 

[RJN]

I do enjoy her particular brand of charisma

This is how I'll be describing people I don't like from now on. "particular brand of charisma"

 

[Tisch]

Bit early but I'm probably definitely voting for that! Love the boopy choon!

 

[dmlaw]

SONG 3 - Ust-Yansky District, Russia

King Princess - Talia

 

[COB]

BISEXUAL LIGHTING ALERT

 

[Lucille]

For a second I thought this was going to be TALIA STORM

 

[Kate]

Haven't we had King Princess before?

 

[Suomi]

from a night out with big Ron round to Lucilles

 

[COB]

Margo!!!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Oh this has taken a turn and I'm here for it

 

[RJN]

When it comes to kind of famous lesbians, Muna is OUT, King Princess is IN
