The Eurodance thread

[Ellestin]

Eurodance: needs a dedicated thread I'm sure

Not my favourite song but a good entry point:

 

[Ellestin]

In tune with today’s weather:



2’56”-3’11”: Best punchline ever or what?

 

[Vittra]

are you fucking serious

 

[NAD]

Every time I think Europe is a neat place this kind of thing reminds me that y'all are just as terrible as the Colonies.

 

[einride]

oh man

i can do this all day











this one is a particular favourite because it has the cheapest "riff" ever but it still fucking works


and it has REALLY terrible lyrics that are almost literally about nothing (as these tend to be)

this is the whitest of all the white rappers

Come with me baby, give me something irie
Me born and raise in the New York City
In the dance hall, on the dance hall, on the dance floor,
We do the ragga dance mana
Ragga man yes, it is a ragga man jam
People drinking champagne fun full of fashion
Pump it up start to swing your body
While you listen to the music jump up and party

Ragga this, ragga that, and a rabba-dub style
Feeling OK, me feeling so irie
I'm a white man, I'm a white man
Ragga with me and get ready to dance man
Boom shakalak truly open your mind
I'm the white ragga man Baby one of a kinda
Ragga man yes gonna make my day
Open your mind, I'm your getaway

Biribiribi, me feeling irie,
Come back again, with the sign of a party
On the party, I'm the dance man
Flipping around to the ragga-man style
Drinking champagne full of fashion
Party people to the ragga dance mana
In the club man, on the dance floor
Everybody do the ragga dance mana

truly eternal hails

the bad times in life is like a telephone

 

[Ellestin]

Maxx is the fucking king indeed

gotta love La Bouche as well:



[EDIT] we didn't get that Basic Element stuff in France if I recall. Glad to catch up on it now

 

[Ellestin]

are you fucking serious

ooh yeah babe

I'm loathe to call The KLF a Eurodance number because they actually made whole albums if I'm not mistaken, but this song is top of my list forever and ever

 

[einride]

 

[Ellestin]

The "Mu Mu" choirs are definitely where it's at

 

[Ars Magna]

Honestly, when I think of Europe I've always imagined all dance club-type places playing stuff like this exclusively. Sure, there are pubs and metal/punk/whatever bars, but as far as dance and/or metal markets...this is it.

 

[einride]

this is 1990-94

no one plays anything like this anymore

 

[Ellestin]

sadly

 

[Ars Magna]

Damnit. One less reason to travel.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Röyksopp

 

[Krilons Resa]

KLF is gonna rock ya.

 

[Ellestin]

Röyksopp

doesn't sound bad but it's not Eurodance, sounds more like a crossover between Moby and dubstep à la Burial.

THIS is Eurodance:



this guy be Swedish yo

 

[Ellestin]

I used to be in love with that chick when I was 18 or so, go figure.

n 2011, Gala performed the new single "Lose Yourself In Me" at the show Dance in the Summer in Beirut, (...) the song ranked #1 in Lebanon RFX Radio for 3 consecutive weeks.

lol

Well, Burial ain't technically dubstep SO THERE!!!!

Gonna listen to every song in this thread. Sans MDMA.
