| Anyone else watch Match of the World Cup last night? Some great early 90s music there... Which leads me to suggest: Unbelievable by EMF. Or, a song that topped the charts in the same week that Unbelievable was released - The KLF's 3am Eternal. | ||

gf said: With the likes of New York, New York you won't go far wrong. A classic, used by the Fitz Swing Band at the end of every gig for as long as I can remember. It never fails to get everyone up and dancing, even if they've been ignoring the band all night... | ||

Former CUR presenter Simon Blackburn said: No! Do not have a slow last song - it doesn't work, I've tried it (with the admittedly not slow enough Toploader Dancing in the Moonlight ) (which should be in there as your opening track). Have one of the usual jumping up and down songs... and if you want to be really clever have whatever song the second eight have used earlier that evening (unless it's a hymn, or a slow song, or both). Last song selection is less to do with tempo and more to do with participation, which is invoked through a combination of ultracheese and danceability (i.e. everyone trying to do the same thing, not anyone being good at dancing - boaties being co-ordinated out of a boat being unthinkable). With the likes of Zorba the Greek or New York, New York you won't go far wrong. | ||

| Have we got "Take on me" by A-Ha? No cheesy bop is complete without that. | ||
| ||
| by dw - Tue 28th May 2002, 12:48pm | ||
| L'Amour Toujours is a dance track.
The jump up and down songs are there - more than ever in fact. I confidently predict this is the best bop I've done (not saying much perhaps!). | ||

| My personal requests are...
L'Amour Toujours - Gigi d'Agostino Diva - Dana International My Name Is Frank Butcher What do people think about Gigi? Last song material? | ||
| ||
| by Bad Taste - Mon 27th May 2002, 9:41pm | ||
| I vote for What's Up by DJ Miko (preferably the original), scatman, and maybe some jamiroquai. | ||

| 'I have a dream' that'I will survive' my exams even though 'everything I wanted' to know by tonight I emphatically do not. When 'I get around' to revising for my Pol 4 will it be 'easy'? When my DoS told me I should work harder 'He was really saying something' but I just didn't 'think'. Now though I've got 'nowhere to run'. I suppose 'there are worse things I could do' and at least I'm not 'uptight' about my revision etc. I know as soon as I finish my exams there'll be a 'heatwave' and I'll be 'dancing in the street' or on the Backs at any rate where we'll all feel 'the warmth of the sun'. If it rains though I hope I find 'shelter from the storm'.
The Bumps at least will go well and we'll earn lots of 'respect' even if my exams will be 'better best forgotten'. It's not a 'tragedy' after all though I'm not sure my nuclear dropout excuse will hold much 'sway' with the dean's committee. Then there will be the dinner (which will be on a 'saturday night'). We'll all 'walk right back' to the WPR where 'one of us' at least will find 'everlasting love' and we'll all enjoy lots of funky tunes. Hopefully there'll be no 'murder on the dance floor' but if the guys take their shirts off it's a distinct possibility. I think we'll all say 'thank you for the music' to Dan before going to bed. | ||

| No for Dr Demento - too hard to mix and dance to.
How about "My Name is Frank Butcher"? | ||
| ||
| by RTT - Sun 26th May 2002, 5:09pm | ||
In my single scull said: Some pretty impressive cheese there, but I think you've over looked the Village people classic:
In the Navy. Clearly appropriate and also cheesy.
"I'm ready for the Eighties" (YMCA and Macho Man would be too obvious) How about Dr. Demento and 'Star Trekkin'? | ||
| ||
| by c heese fan - Sun 26th May 2002, 12:27pm | ||
| how about....
Rick Asley: Never Gonna give you up Pj and Duncan: lets get ready to rumble (watch us wreck the mike...) Jive Bunny and the master mix (i think thats the name) anything by the KLF anything by Bros anything by New Kids on the Block anything by Steps (especially Tragedy) what is quite worrying is that posess most of those poptastic hits | ||

| Guy, you are truly the all time God of Cheese. I worship the shrine of your brie-like knowledge.
Please can we have 'Hey Mickey' - the one by Toni Basil not the naff Lolly version? | ||

Or for the people who like the slow song at the end of the bop, Mr Lionel Richie has some corkers: "Three times a lady" "Sail on" "Easy" The list just goes on and on..... ;-) | ||

| Guaglione does give you guys an excuse for looking like twats when you dance.
Can we have Shakira? I'm keen to watch Rose singing like a twat again | ||
| ||
| by dw - Sat 25th May 2002, 4:29pm | ||
| Hmmm - I see Guy is a cheese fascist. I will endeavour to include some of those, however I'd like to point out that Guaglione is rather hard to dance to...
"My love has got no morning, he's got his strong beliefs." Classic. | ||

dw said: The Bop is in progress...
ALL the obvious tracks? I suspect not.
I have all the obvious cheese tracks in, so please supply me with more ideas. I'm sure you've thought of the novice cheese - Macarena, anything by Steps, Saturday night, Tubthumping etc. But do you have: Guaglione - Perez Prado and his Orchestra Hip to be square - Huey Lewis and the News Come on Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners. Concrete & Clay - Unit 4 plus 2 Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison The Reflex - Duran Duran Mony Mony - Billy Idol (I hope you don't have this, it's an awful song) Sex Bomb - Tom Jones and Mousse T The First, the last, my everything - Barry White The Queen of 1964 - Neil Sedaka? Well, maybe not the last one (but very funny lyrics). And in the 'not cheese' category, can we have Free from desire - Gala (more and mooooore) and Old before I die - Robbie Williams. Some people might call these cheese I suppose, but it's about as non-cheese as I go. | ||

Simon said: Does anyone else remember the Chris Moyles remix of the "Choose Life" song (a dance remix of the speech from Trainspotting) which was all about cheese?

Everyone always moans about there being too much dance music, but I think it may just be the vocal minority. I have all the obvious cheese tracks in, so please supply me with more ideas. | ||

| You should talk to Austin Lamacroft (spelling?): I was doing a long erg and he put on one of his CD's - the dance mix sampling "Working 9 to 5" was pretty bad, but the one using parts of "Jeu le Taxi" totally finished me off!! | ||
| ||
| by Anna - Thu 23rd May 2002, 3:40pm | ||
| 1st and 3rd needs cheese! Saturday Night, the Macarena and anything by Steps, these make a bop what it is. You know I'm right.
The formula is something like this: Rower + Alcohol + post bumps high/low = Insatiable urge to dance. Also, COME TO THE DINNER cos it'll be fab. | ||

To be fair, only the occupants of the shit hire car were taken in by this terrible song, hence its notable absence from the video diaryAnyway, Who Let the Dogs Out is a great tune, and has particular resonance for those who went to Canada in 2000. | ||
