3) You! Me! Dancing!
2) Wood
1) The Masterplan

BM: Three Little Pigs

Clearly some people like Three Little Pigs, that song is as obnoxious as hell. PokeRap was probably worse, but I did not include it as it wasn't a serious nom AFAIC.

Sweet Like Chocolate robbed, how that only got 5 votes with so much other shite there is beyond me, at least the top 3 was decent if not predictable.

5. Black Bugs
4. Fell in Love with a Girl
3. The Masterplan
2. Wood
1. One More Time

Billy - Shelter
Only thing it was robbed of was the Billy. Only instabilly Daft Punk saved it from mine.

Just wondering why Daft Punk is an instability. Is it just based on genre or is there another reason. Not having a go, just curious as amongst people that like and listen to dance music One More Time is consistently named as one of the greatest dance tracks of all time.

I billied the winner. Can't believe a later paint by numbers Oasis song won. Are we seeing another change in the comp with the addition of new players?

At least I'm usually surprised by the winner now. Never used to be the case.
Added vanilla has a tendency to turn things a bit beige. 100% with ya on the Oasis song - formulaic in the extreme.

It was a top 10 hit around the world back in the late 90s, a dance floor classic and a ground breaking 3D computer animated video for it's time.

I swear most people here just vote for bands rather than songs which is probably why that Oasis song won and Burn the Witch did so well despite being shit.
Maybe you should've nommed the original 90s version instead of a shitty latter-day remix.
Then you might've finished 16th instead of 20th

Original...

Remixed...

Sweet Like Chocolate was anything but. Got my Billy, am amazed it didn't get more. Awful.
Agreed
It was sickeningly saccharine rather than pleasantly sweet
I would've Billied it if I myself wasn't gunning for the Billy (I considered it my strongest competition )

"Dance music" isn't high on my list of favourite genres but all the Daft Punk stuff I've heard is over in the first 20 seconds - it just repeats from there. Bass line is plain as white bread, the robotic vocals, the lyrics are pointless ........... ughhhh.

Agree with all of the above
And even tried to nominate it because I thought it would be a good Billy bet because it has podiumed before
But got beaten to nominating it haha

Pretty sure they are the same song, I chose the latter one to nom because the sound was better, either way I don't think it would have changed the result.

In. Dunno how it'll play, especially given that while the song itself is a virgin, the band really isn't.

Catchy as **** though so IDC.
