Best Song of 2000: Heat #8

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Still D.R.E., Spinning Around and The Real Slim Shady led the pack in Heat #7, while Stronger and Stan fought off a last minute surge by The Bad Touch to join them in the 2000 final.

Last heat today! And there are some proper bangers below the cut...

[Poll #1423267]

You have until Friday lunchtime to vote, at which point I'll post a full list of the qualifiers for the 2000 final. HOWEVER we're not going to be voting on that straight away (to try and avoid tick-fatigue on the same songs). Instead, next week we're going to start nominations for 2001. There will be a slight change in nomination procedure (more details to follow) but there'll still be plenty of time to get your thinking caps on.

The ones I care the most about, besides sure winners like "There You Go" and "Try Again," are Teddybears STHLM's "Yours To Keep" (couldn't find the original streamed anywhere, but I linked the remix, which I'm not so hot on but it's poptasticuk's favorite version, I think)(anyway, what was nominated features Paola, not the inferior remake that came out years later f. Neneh Cherry) and "Wishin' All These Old Things Were New," which I couldn't find a stream of, but maybe you'll have better luck.

The Paola version went down really well at my uni's indiesoc once. I have no idea why they let me play records there tbh but anyway; Paola sounds so sweet and desperate for a bit of adventure.

It's Sheryl Crow on the later version isn't it? Either way it's absolute rubbish compared to the original, especially the extended mix.

[koganbot]

Neneh Cherry, not Sheryl Crow. You're confusing them with Kid Rock.

Ah, probably. To be honest my brain is so fried from data entry I'm surprised I didn't say it was TRAD IRISH.

Ack! I called "There You Go" a sure winner, and there it is in one of those mad scrambles for fifth.

Unsurprising given that 'Most Girls', which I think is even better than 'There You Go', never looked like progressing. But still sad.

Actually, "Most Girls" fell one short of a runoff!
