The folk country song near the end.

Also the beautiful song by Fatoumata Diawara, which is probably getting my 5. It's none of those genres. It's more a traditional/folk/indie rock kind of song.

Did you suffer a small stroke Porps?
Not many African folk with red hair and freckles.

Wtf lol. It's a hip hop song! Great beat.

Very dancy

Sigh lol. This is retribution from the SC gods after I allowed Woke Up This Morning through and therefore winning the Italy round

Is the other 'folk/country' track you were referring to earlier the Gospel number?

 

[Plugger35]

Has anyone put together a playlist? The OP still has the soundtracks playlist.

My Chic song should be included, if people want to billy it they are welcome to it but it really should be a podium contender, 70s disco/funk at it's best.

Chic would have been on high rotation when all the famous people at Studio 54 were snorting coke and engaging in other debauchery.

Nile Rodgers would have some stories to tell, went on to work with Michael Jackson, Bowie and then Daft Punk, the ultimate hitmaker.

Mate its not going to be a podium contender, it was nommed two weeks ago.

 

[ChappyUK]

Which ones apart from Pluggers?

Anderson.paak is more disco than my first nom which was soul. Chic was also disco.

 

[por_please_ya]

Thanks, looks like I'm in with Londonbeat then, will probably cop the billy now everyone knows that's my song.

Good to see Cutty Ranks representing Jamaica, I'll probably give it 5 just for his name alone, such a Jamaican name.

Anderson park is shit R n' B.
Chic was accepted purely for your benefit.

Aww shucks.

If people want to billy Londonbeat they are welcome to it but they should be aware that song went to no.1 in 6 countries and was top 10 in 3 other countries.

Pretty amazing when they shot that video in one of those DIY music video places in the UK for about 50 quid, the strength of that song still took it places.

I might have to re-think giving Cutty Ranks my 5 too, the guy's no Bob Marley, he's closer to Crazy Frog.

 

[Loonerty]

Because going number 1 is always a good indicator of quality

If this round and the previous round was combined this atrocity would have sufficed.

Can't see how an artist can go from your 5 to sounding like Crazy Frog....no wait. Yes I can.

Whenever I see your posts I think I'm posting SC stuff in the werewolf game.

Only four billy botes so far.

An atrocity indeed.
Vanilla ice was about 25 years ahead of his time.
Atrocities passing as hip hop are all the rage these days.

Even the Arctic Monkeys scored a no.1 in the UK so you're quite right there.

I made the mistake of actually listening to his song, he had my 5 due to his cool name.

A comeback almost as predictable as your noms.

Lots of different styles of Reggae Plugs.
Cutty Ranks is probably best known for the first line of this:



Im not particularly a fan (although I dont mind him) but there is some excellent Dancehall.

You can't beat DJ Bravo.




As far as I can make out he's a champion, Chris Gayle is a champion and Michael Jordan is a champion, they don't mind themselves the West Indians.

 

[William Wonka]

Good Theme idea in fact...
Reggae sub genres.

"IRIE?
Praise Jah and pump dem wicked riddums, souuundboy killa!!!"

 

[Plugger35]

I'd like to see a white reggae theme.
