The History Of Jop Part 19 aka You have so many relationships in this life

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I decided to do a Jop poll after all, so here's 1997. With "Lovefool" left off for appearing twice, you have nine picks on twenty-five songs - a generous allowance!


[Poll #861316]


Joptimism 1996: Predictable, Us?

1. Common People (38 votes)
2=. California Love (33 votes)
2=. Born Slippy (33 votes)
4. Lovefool (31)
5. No Diggity (30)
6. Woo Hah! Got You All In Check! (28)
7. Setting Sun (23)
8. 1979 (20)
9=. Ready Or Not (19)
9=. Macarena (19)

Thank heaven the Macarena scraped in there ahead of Beck!]

TYPO ERROR: That should be "Cornershop" doing Brimful of Asha, not Chumbawamba - apologies for Cornershop and all their fans. Also it's "Da Funk" not "The Funk". Mondays, eh.

I still don't really like 'Around The World'! Or to be honest any Daft Punk song which isn't 'Da Funk'. There's something about the relentless vocals which is off-putting to me.

Whereas I think "Da Funk" is kinda boring, though I like its central riff/idea enough that I still wanted to tick it)

That's just it! 15yr-old IndieSnob Kat should have found this record boring. But that pounding beat could not be ignored!

Around The World goes on and on without doing a great deal, is the problem. Da Funk does the same but like 'Flat Beat' its dirtier groove makes this more acceptable somehow.
