[Haiku Rewrites]

They're leaving this game and nothing's gonna change that. For 8 songs, the desire for them to stay was not there for Moopy and so it's a send-off to a Round 1 exit.

WHAT A YEAR! Struggled to whittle it down to 7.

Kylie kut aside, this was kwite straightforward. I really didn't realise 1988 had this many corkers.

That Fairground Attraction song is a little gem

 

[RJN]

I just listened to the Fairground Attraction song for the first time. I don't usually hate much music, but it kind of made my skin crawl

 

[GinAg (39)]

I think it was on an advert. All I remember is that she was serving pure cunt on a barge and I hated her. It's the daytime TV of 80s pop.

 

[RJN]

Wikipedia says an ASDA ad. And even grosser is the album title, The First of a Million Kisses

 

[Vicky the Vole]

I love 'Perfect' - and the follow-up single 'Find My Love', which you sadly never hear anymore.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I'm sure there's a half decent song in there, at best up there with Celebration or something similar. Pure mumsy platitude with a twee production.

This is a UK supermarket, full of screaming kids

Perfect, it's fucking not. Imagine choosing THAT GREEN as your branding.

If there's one thing I've learned on Moopy, its every UK supermarket

 

[Halli]

I'm surprised the ASWAD track is not a little more popular

Let me have a quick listen!

And which is your fave

 

[RJN]

And which is your fave

ASDA Hulme

 

[dmlaw]

ASDA Hulme

Not Gay Sainsbury’s?

 

[GinAg (39)]

Obviously Ace of Base is the gay version. Although the single version of it was an Aswad remix.

 

[Soldi]

Not Gay Sainsbury’s?

Gay Sainsbury’s doesn’t have a McDonalds inside though.

 

[Funky]

This list is also known as "artists who've had MUCH better songs elsewhere"

 

[Funky]

Except maybe Fairground Attraction

 

[lolly]

Except maybe Fairground Attraction

I prefer Eddi Reader's The Patience Of Angels.

Not entirely sure it warrants her being nominated for all those Brits, though

 

[Inner Smile]

I am hoping for Belinda to win this whole thing and I know you MOOPY DIAMONDS won't let me down
