Best Song of 2005: Heat #3

Feb 23, 2010 13:26

Ladytron, Gorillaz, LCD Soundsystem and Mylo go through (check out our electro credibility!), along with t.A.T.u who win the Heat #1 run-off. However the girls are in ANOTHER run-off for heat #2, this time with Kanye! Gosh you lot are indecisive sometimes :)

On to business: who the hell nominated Lisa Scott Lee for Heat #3?

( Rules reminder - SIX TICKS only. )

Much tougher heat for me, this one! Sorry J-Lo and Mylo - your ticks will have to come from elsewhere.

Ditto. No tick for Britney? Unheard of!

"Flavoursaver" doesn't seem to be on YouTube. Might be on spotify I s'pose but I'm not bothered either way as I want to save the track for some future Orgafun really, keep some element of surprise y'know?

Here's (I hope) Feel AM however. Gooodness knows what "[LBP-PSP]" is though. Hopefully the vid isn't NSFW or a piece of cult propaganda/brainwashing or anything.

LBP = Little Big Planet
PSP = PlayStation Portable

i can only assume it's in the PSP version of the game (can't hear from here to tell if it's in the PS3 version (ha, also i am only about halfway through, ftb RUBBISH at computer games these days...))

Rich Boy "Get To Poppin"; produced by Brian Kidd, who throws giant chemical drums at our heads and simultaneously hypnotizes us with a Mexican chant, while Rich Boy sways with the thunder. As they say on YouTube, the beat is SO FUCKIN SICK MAN damn:

Daddy Yankee "Gasolina":

Lindsay Lohan "First":

She used to be a girl who could let a guy breathe.

Gasolina is AMAZING. Anyone who thinks otherwise is WRONG.

AGREEEEEED.

(I am STILL smug about catching on to it half a year before it blew up internationally. Because I am JUST THAT MUCH OF A LAMER. :))

For a while Denver had its own "Hurban" station (Hispanic urban), which played "Gasolina" regularly, also the Pitbull remix of "Get To Poppin" - I like "Get To Poppin" even more than "Gasolina," the contrast between Rich Boy's roundabout drawl and the tight twist of the sample.

I hated this song for ages but something happened to make me suddenly EMBRACE the Dollz and their h0-n-B/minimal vocal effort combo. Alas we'll have to wait until 2006 for that, but in retrospect this song holds up pretty well, esp Busta's bit.

'Dorant' is super-moody microgoth scuffing its feet through a haunted forest. I played this song (and most of the others off Kompakt Total 6) to death at the end of 2005:
