poptimistsAugust saw 'Toxic' walkover the 2004 vote, with 33 ticks, whilst even Band Aid 20 got more ticks than Brian McFadden. Ha! Today we have a curious mix of soap stars, charity singles and... Jive Bunny. It's 1989!

Jive Bunny Syndrome
Date: 2007-10-03 02:29 pm (UTC)the 'is it a medley or is it a megamix' thing is quite interesting (to me) tho. i think we may have established at some point that megamixes have to feature elements of songs not in straight linear sequence so you don't just switch from one to the next in turn. this could be cobblers tho. maybe medleys have to be all songs by the same artist? seems silly too.
many (most?) of the songs used in the JB singles are okay in themselves. there's a possible smugness or triteness in how they're presented in this context perhaps but i'm not sure about that. even the fiddling with the "C-c-come on everybody" bit is no worse than all the "Aw yeah!" and Lyn Collins samples going on at this point...is it?
at the time of JB you also had Latino Rave/Deep Heat 89 in the charts by The Various Artists and this is clearly a megamix. see also 'The Brits 1990'.
