In before lock/move.

Classic song.

"Just a small town girl..."

Duggy747 · 14-08-2007 4:53pm

Journey are making a come back. Yer man on 2fm (can't remember his name) has been trying for months to get them popular again.

Any Way You Want It is a classic, fist-clenching, party-out, keg-swilling 80's song!

AlmightyCushion · 14-08-2007 4:54pm

Yah it's been in a couple of films as well I believe. Great song though.

Sorry I wasn't saying its a bad thing I just couldn't understand why everyone was picking up on it all of a sudden. I'm guessing the season finale of sopranos had something to do with it, I never watched the sopranos so thats why I missed out on it.

The_B_Man · 14-08-2007 4:57pm

i never seen a single episode of sopranos either. i jsut always liked it. scrubs helped tho!

whassupp2 · 14-08-2007 4:58pm

Ray Foley from The Ray Foley show has been trying to get it to no 1

Pffft... figment of your (very active) imagination, Karl. Boards.ie and AH = same thing.

Well the mods can obviously move it if they want. I thought it was suitable for here as has become clear it because of tv shows, and radio presenters that its become popular so maybe it should go in the TV forum, or the Broadcasting forum, or the Radio Forum. Nearly every thread in AH could be put in another forum.

No it really couldn't go in tv. It's a song and the thread is specifically about a song so should go in the music forum.

You know the way we have "Fields of Athenry"
The americans have "Don't stop believing".
You always hear it in the bars here and we eeven heard it being sung by the crowd in Yankee stadium when the Yankees were losing.

I'd say 'yer man on 2fm' had a lot less success than the series finale of the Sopranos.

[semi randon]DJ's annoying me. [/semi random]

popebenny16 · 14-08-2007 5:33pm

It's not 2fm, it is really that poor-mans Chris Moyle's effort on TodayFm thats wheeled out at lunchtime in an effort to make everyone slim down by puking their meals up.

Actually, I think we cant mention him on the Radio forum anymore because he took personal objection to reality.

You do hear it a lot.Especially.Not as much as the fields of Athenry in Ireland.

Puck · 14-08-2007 5:43pm

Because it rocks!

Nailz · 14-08-2007 5:47pm

I think it was the Sopranos too. It went back on the charts at no.5 after the finale aired on RTE. Thats my guess. I wouldn't think it was a coinsidence that a song that was made way back in the 80's made it back in the charts after it was heard in the final scene of the Sopranos for seperate reasons.

gucci · 15-08-2007 1:29pm

i always had the song at back of my mind as a "cool" song, then i seen the family guy thing where they all sing it in kareoke and everyone loves it, so i realised it was alot more popular and ever since its been in EVERYTHING iv nearly watched, ok slight exaduration there, but its been in Scrubs, Cold Case, Sopranoes finale, the movie monster with charleze theron and some other one i seen on tv lately........i forget what one

condra · 20-11-2007 6:06am

I thought it was a parody thing like The Darkness. Being genuine 80s, I suppose, it is slightly less dispicable.

Yeah its a catchy tune. One of those cultural things which does well with students because so many of them feel that liking it makes them somehow unique and individual.

sigh.

V9 · 20-11-2007 6:10am

Great song, now to get Whitesnakes Here I Go Again back on the radio \o/

shane86 · 20-11-2007 9:10am

Awful song made popular by a woeful Sopranos episode. Ypur right, its everywhere, radio, pubs, nightclubs, jesus would it ever go back to the 80s and leave us alone. Never heard it or Journey before the Sopranos.
