Not out I say said: Right. Who was scoring at the cricket and who typed in the score card? I believe the score card isn't quite finished - I'm not sure Neil intended that it be online yet, so some mistakes are thereby my fault. That said, I guess he would be happy to hear any corrections... Neil?

Right. Who was scoring at the cricket and who typed in the score card? Very disappointed to see that my innings now ends with "run out" - I was standing by the other stumps when the ball was thrown in.

mjb said: In 1999, FaT II were immediately behind Catz I. Indeed. We had two row-overs behind Catz 1 on the Friday and Saturday evenings. On Friday, we didn't row particularly well and rowed over on station. On the Saturday, the crew was effectively down to 7 rowers from before Ditton as I was suffering from food poisoning which I'd picked up from Bella Pasta the night before. Despite this, we still rowed over on station with Catz. Of all the "What if..."s that suround bumps, this one - "What if I'd been healthy?" is the one that still hurts the most. So yes, it is the 1999 2nd VIII's fault, but in turn, we blame Bella Pasta.

Hurrah Hurrah Hurrah Hurrah!!!!!!!!!!! That was the first time ever that Catz have bumped you guys. Apparently Catz can now have your boat house. I've already put a claim on the lard cupboard and maybe the weights room so I can perve at you when you get changed in our tiny old crappy boat house. Well done to the 2nd and 3rds. You deserved it.

by Simon - Thu 13th Jun 2002, 8:43am
Any chance of that Elvis remix from the Nike advert (would make a change to have something from this week's charts!) plus something related to England football - they will have been playing that day after all (cf June 2000).

Anna said: Is Ray the Barber a little known rowing guru who is giving you all psychological preparation for the Mays? Reminds me of that shoe-shine guy Frank Drebin would always go and see in Police Squad

by Anna - Sat 8th Jun 2002, 4:34pm
Good to see the men are making an effort for the Mays this year. I've only been in my kitchen twice today but the first time Mr Glass was having his tresses tamed and the second Mr Talbott. What gives? Is this some kind of crew bonding? Is Ray the Barber a little known rowing guru who is giving you all psychological preparation for the Mays? Who knows? It's a very suspicious. (Should perhaps clarify that my kitchen looks over All Saints Passage and that Ray hasn't set up shop in the gyp room).

Can we have the Jackson Five, I want you back.

by mjb - Sun 2nd Jun 2002, 5:56pm
Some more songs for request House Of Pain - Jump Around Spin Doctors - 2 Princes Eiffel 65 - Blue

by gf - Fri 31st May 2002, 8:46am
Jump by Van Halen and Step On by Happy Mondays ought to feature.

by Inspired - Thu 30th May 2002, 7:10pm
And how about Smooth by Santana. Also, We are the Champions is always the best song to end on, but is kind of dependant on a successful Bumps...

by Just a Babybel by comparison... - Thu 30th May 2002, 1:57pm
Oh good lord. I had no idea how much big cheese lovin' went on out there. It's amazing. The message board is becoming a musical education in itself. Can we have Waterloo? Please?

by cheese fan - Thu 30th May 2002, 8:01am
Additions........ said: On a more cheesy note.... Spandau Ballet's Gold, and Build me up Buttercup. Yey, Build me up is quality, however being as its catz college song i wouldn't recommend playing it after we bump you:) I think Insomnia is a more relevant Faithless song but We come one is top class and gets my vote every time

by Simon - Thu 30th May 2002, 7:03am
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.

by mjb - Wed 29th May 2002, 10:55pm
I forgot to request Eye Of The Tiger

by Additions........ - Wed 29th May 2002, 10:38pm

by Just to be unpopular - Wed 29th May 2002, 9:12pm
Oh, and something by Faithless. We come 1 perhaps?

I don't think this counts as work..... said: 'I have a dream' that'I will survive' and so on Good effort, but you've missed Honeybus' classic "I can't let Maggie go..."

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...

by Simon - Tue 28th May 2002, 2:44pm

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.

by Chris - Tue 28th May 2002, 2:25pm
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!).

by dw - Tue 28th May 2002, 9:41am
Oh, and Iain, there is no way I am playing DJ Miko. That bastardisation of a good Cranberries song is awful!!

by dw - Tue 28th May 2002, 9:38am
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.

by Cheese fan - Mon 27th May 2002, 12:04pm
Damn it; i was going to ask for Chaka Demus and Pliers. Can we have anything by Aaron Carter Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine (remember them?) and EVERYTHING by Will Young?

by Simon - Sun 26th May 2002, 9:47pm
Martin, can you set up a voting thing (like on the Schooldisco.com website) so that people can nominate songs and then the rest of us can vote?

by Extra Mature Cheddar - Sun 26th May 2002, 8:24pm
I appreciate that some/all of the following may be too slow/too fast/unmixable/thought to be crap by Dan/already in the bop(not likely), but for what it's worth... Aztec Camera - Somewhere In My Heart Blur - Song 2 Bonnie Tyler - I Need A Hero Roxy Music - Dance Away Chaka Demus & Pliers - Twist And Shout Chris De Burgh - The Vision Daft Punk - One More Time Dire Straits - Walk Of Life Elton John - I Don't Wanna Go With You Like That Erasure - Blue Savannah Falco - Rock Me Amadeus Freddie Mercury - Livin' On My Own Genesis - Jesus He Knows Me Glenn Frey - The Heat Is On Love Affair - Bringing On Back The Good Times Monaco - What Do You Want From Me New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle Pet Shop Boys Right Said Fred - Wonderman Robert Palmer - Bad Case Of Loving You Steps - Summer Of Love Texas - I Don't Want A Lover The Communards - Don't Leave Me This Way The Offspring - Want You Bad Traveling Wilburys - Last Night Van Halen - Jump

cheese fan said: how about.... Rick Asley: Never Gonna give you up I second that vote - heard it on the radio this afternoon and had forgotten how great it was. Also voting for Beat it - M Jackson You only get what you give - New Radicals Gold - Spandau Ballet (but only one verse) Marvellous - Lightning Seeds Sunchyme - Darrio G

by I don't think this counts as work..... - Sun 26th May 2002, 7:04pm
'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.

by dw - Sun 26th May 2002, 6:48pm
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: "I'm ready for the Eighties" (YMCA and Macho Man would be too obvious) In the Navy. Clearly appropriate and also cheesy. 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

by Anna - Sun 26th May 2002, 10:48am
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?

Danish Blue said: Come on Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners. Concrete & Clay - Unit 4 plus 2 Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison The First, the last, my everything - Barry White Some pretty impressive cheese there, but I think you've over looked the Village people classic: "I'm ready for the Eighties" (YMCA and Macho Man would be too obvious) How about any of Kylie's early work.... 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..... ;-)

by cheese fan - Sat 25th May 2002, 7:29pm
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.

by Danish Blue - Sat 25th May 2002, 2:51pm
dw said: The Bop is in progress... I have all the obvious cheese tracks in, so please supply me with more ideas. ALL the obvious tracks? I suspect not. 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? I remember Ben Simkin and I trying to erg when it came on the radio and having to stop because we were laughing. it was comic. even I can remember that one

by dw - Sat 25th May 2002, 10:44am
The Bop is in progress...(good bit of revision avoidance). 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.
