Like quite a few of these groups, it includes a song I like by an act I generally dislike and one I don't like by an act I do like. No names though.
In this case, the Clubhouse having a hit in the early 80s are the same people who had a bigger hit in the 90s, but the song isn't very similar.

+10 Freemasons Feat. Amanda Wilson – Love On My Mind (2005 had 4 dance tracks peaking at number 11 which is a lot, this is definitely the best of them for me)
+09 Phats & Small – Tonite (Freemasons' two producers were of course both connected in some way to Phats and Small too, this is a very good tune, even if it is not really remembered and I only discovered it recently)
+08 Nirvana – Lithium ('Yeah yeah-ee yeah')
+07 Marina & The Diamonds – Primadonna (loved this at the time and still do, what a great tune)
+06 Electric Light Orchestra – All Over The World (great uplifting song, I really like a lot of ELO's songs)
+05 Lighthouse Family – Ocean Drive (what a classic of the easy listening genre this is, I assume this still a favourite of Heart type radio stations, surprised it only reached number 11)
+04 Angelic – It'S My Turn (not one of the better trance songs of 2000 imo but still good though)
+03 Stone Roses – Ten Storey Love Song (definitely one of my favourites from Stone Roses)
+02 Gala – Let A Boy Cry (good tune, only heard this today, the vocal reminds me a lot of TaraElla's vocal style tbh)
+01 Coldcut Feat. Lisa Stansfield – People Hold On (knew this as it was made into a remix in 2005, 'Lil Love by Little Love' which imo makes it much better, the original is still good though)

RESULTS:
Wildcard Round
10. Lighthouse Family - Ocean Drive (48 Points)
One point between #10 and #11 Anyway, just making it in is Ocean Drive by Lighthouse Family - a song which only reached #34 when it was originally released, but soared up to #11 on the re-realease. Interestingly enough, the song is named after a road in South Shields (although everyone else probably already knew that)
9. Ellie Goulding - Still Falling For You (53 Points)
Sqo aq #9 we hqve Ellqe Goqldqng (is that how you do it cqm?) with Still Falling For You - her most recent single,featuring on the soundtrack to Bridget Jones' Baby. It was co-written by Tove Lo as well, which probably explains why cqmerqn has popped into this thread for the first time to vote for it. Good thing as well - otherwise it wouldn't have made it!
8. Nirvana – Lithium (57 Points)
Now here's a song everyone knows - even if you don't recognise the name, I can guarantee you've heard it somewhere. A song about a man who turns to religion amid thoughts of suicide, the Wikipedia page has a massive paragraph about the band falling out as they recorded it which I'm not going to read.
7. Beastie Boys - (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party) (61 Points)
Another song I can guarantee you've heard - the fourth single from their album 'Licenced to Ill' and one of their most popular songs, apparently the lyrics were intended to be irony (more ironic than another #11 we all know then ) however most people have never realised this.
6. Girls Aloud - Untouchable (63 Points)
Just missing out on an AQ place is Girls Aloud's 'Untouchable'. When I searched this on Wikipedia a South Korean band came up before it so I guess the trace inspired rave ballad from 'Out of Control' has lost most of its relevance now, Although you guys clearly like it!
There Dan, you can host your wildcard round now
Auto-Qualification
5. Kaiser Chiefs - Modern Way (66 Points)
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSS
Ahem. Sorry for that outburst.
Anyway, auto-qualifying for the Final are everyone's favourite alternative band from Leeds - the Kaiser Chiefs! The fourth and final single from 'Employment', this is a song about loneliness and regret, and has been covered a number of times.
4. Fountains of Wayne - Stacy's Mom (76 Points)
Or 'Stacy's Mum' as I like to call it - a song from American rock band Fountains of Wayne's third album 'Welcome Interstate Managers', about... well I'm sure you can figure that out yourselves. Definitely a staple tune of the 00s though!
3. Brandy - Afrodisiac (80 Points)
And as we enter the Top 3, we get to Brandy, with her song about an addictive passion for a special person from the album of the same name. Clearly a popular one on here though!
2. Marina & the Diamonds - Primadonna (82 Points)
Just in time for the release of 'Disconnect'! The lead single from the Welsh singer's second album 'Electra Heart', this song reached the Top 5 in Australia, New Zealand and Ireland, but stalled at #11 here!
1. Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know (90 Points)
And topping a very low-pointing results group is the Arctic Monkeys' 'Do I Wanna Know' - A song I definitely wan't expecting there! It was the first Monkeys song to reach the Billboard Hot 100, was nominated for a Grammy and is now in the Final of Ultimate UK 11s!
Poor Love On My Mind didn't qualify
Love Primadonna and Ocean Drive though, Do I Wanna Know is a good tune to win the group!

Wish I switched Madonna and Girls Aloud in my vote to give her the extra point she needed to qualify
a good indie representation in that top five! shame Freemasons just missed out though and I would've liked to seen will.i.am (solo and as part of the BEPs) make it in too.
