    Ok, so I totally F 'D this up!!!!
    That list should have been the other way round, sorry :(
    First Surlaw for me, My fault. No point changing anything now!
    My fault, you had them numbered correctly, just everyone else had them ordered the other way around

    All my pms vanished. Had to get everyone to send them again, sorry about that :o I did remember Dana getting a rather high score from someone :pac:

    Ah yes, I see your post explaining that in the FG thread now. The thread that I stopped checking after I sent my list! :o Sorry about that.

    Let me just say that I have no time whatsoever for Dana as a person or her terrible political views, but I will not have an Irish Eurovision winner disrespected.....and particularly not in the company of Vanilla Ice and Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep!

    This was my list anyways:


    12 - The Archies - Sugar, Sugar
    10 - Chicago - If You Leave Me Now
    8 - Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now
    7 - The New Seekers - I'd Like Teach The World To Sing (In Perfect Harmony)
    6 - Johnny Logan - Hold Me Now
    5 - Dana - All Kinds of Everything :D
    4 - Brotherhood of Man - Save All Your Kisses for Me
    3 - Tight Fit - The Lion Sleeps Tonight
    2 - Edison Lighthouse - Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)
    1 - Mud - Tiger Feet

    The 35+, skinny jeans and converse wearing, gig-goers are too cool.

    The rest of your usual bs aside... :rolleyes:

    What the f**k is wrong with converse? They're one of the most comfortable and universally loved shoes. What are you walking around in? Uggs? Penny Loafers? Reeboks?

    Anyone over 35 realises their arch support is terrible and you need a much sturdier shoe for walking in :p

    Fair enough, I have my own insoles for heel and arch support no matter what shoes I wear, so not something I had considered.

    Fun game and reveal Shane. Well obviously listening to the music wasn't fun, but apart from that... :pac:

    Am I the only one who actually liked all their choices? :pac:

    I think there were only two songs I really didn't like - Dana & Uptown girl(only because it painfully reminds me the Westlife version)

    Great show Shane.

    Some great tunes there but that was my stand out winner when I saw the list. A brilliant tune.

    I am under the impression that Starship have been in a previous Surlaw and did fairly well.

    Thank you for organising this Shane, an interesting category and some songs that I really like - and Vanilla Ice is getting reentered in my playlist.

    It has been submitted in at least 3 walri as well. its hugely popular!

    A lot of those songs did not deserve to be in a list of terrible number 1 songs

    -edit-

    Actally, well, some..... well, maybe 6 didnt deserve to be there. The rest were fine

    I just had a look back, myself and Shane were the only people not to give it any points. I really hate that song! :D

    Happy enough that Starship won, mainly because I assumed Wham! would win and I really don't like Wake Me Up Before You GoGo. I like some of George Michael's solo stuff, and there might even be some other Wham! tunes that I'm ok with, but something about that song just annoys the hell out of me. :o

    It was actually the only song of the 20 that I wasn't able to listen to from start to finish (though I had heard/endured it several times before, so I didn't really need to).

    Santa got me a keyboard for christmas when I was a kid way back in the late 80's/early 90's and Wake me up before you gogo was the demo track on the keyboard. I just listened to it over and over. Absolutely loved it then and still do now :D
