The History Of Pop Part 64 aka Make you work hard make you spend hard

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

And NOW, the end is near. We were rating some of these songs only LAST WEEK on Stevem's monthly pop polls, so apologies for the necessary duplication. The long heatwave of June/July 2006 - how long ago it seems eh?

Now 63 was won by Gorillaz, notching up their second poll winner with "Dirty Harry" on the frankly apalling score of 55% tickies - this would have put it in 8th place on the first Now poll. Make of that what you will.


[Poll #789802]


TH-TH-THAT'S ALL FOLKS!

I heart Lady Sov but I cannot stand this version.

L. Allen = from London -- she is 'urban'
O. Boys inc. LADY SOV -- they are 'urban'
N. Furtada0 : is urban AND IN THE LEAD!
Gnarls B: is (RUB) and urban AND DOING PRETTY WELL!

If you're not careful I'll go back and tick the Zutons because the lady trumpeter is Hot.

I think that actually people hate AMERICANS.

DONT TICK THE ZUTONS PLS.

Furtado not urban since she is from Canada and Canadians by def'n are not urban, unless they're from Montreal.

'Touch It' has a cool beat but the sample is annoying and Busta even more so. Guy has lost it in a massive way (esp. with the new one).

Mary J's verse is amazing though.

Re: the now-traditional lexian outrage on behalf of overlooked 'urban' acts

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

She's not on the original though.

Re: the now-traditional lexian outrage on behalf of overlooked 'urban' acts

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

The original is a bit dull, it doesn't have the best verses or the insane "everyone in the world ever on one record" feel of the nine-minute remix.

Re: the now-traditional lexian outrage on behalf of overlooked 'urban' acts

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

oh yeh i forget the Mary J/Rah Digga/someone else version

Re: the now-traditional lexian outrage on behalf of overlooked 'urban' acts

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Missy's on it too. I don't know what she says on it though as whenever I see the video her bits are bleeped out! The filthy mare.

Re: Busta

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

I like "I Love My Chick". Not saying Busta's particularly good on it or anything, but he's at least endearing (and the song is silly = a good thing).

YESYESYYES What IS Wrong with people.

Though that Milian pun is UNFORGIVEABLE
