June 26, 20232 yr Dobbo joining me in sending a song that was mostly instrumental and just had incidental female vocals :D but that was another tune, rather different to the other song I know from The Grid. Thanks Yobnedor, surprised at you voting for this one but those are the 3 points I needed for this to be my highest scoring entry in one of these to date, hooray!

June 26, 20232 yr The Heart song was also rather different to the one song I knew by them before - in a good way though, really not a fan of 'Alone' at all but 'Barracuda' is quite a banger, shame that one isn't doing too well so far. Monsoon is a more acceptable new leader *.*
June 26, 20232 yr Back to back golds :cheer: thank you Cow! 4th is as high as I'll get tonight so I'll enjoy it. 8,000th post *.*
June 26, 20232 yr Author Did I say earlier that Aptit were the only non-english song in contest...that was wrong :kink: Here is another one. Roba sent german based band Nena (who majority just like me thought Nena was a singer and not a band lol) with their single 'Nur Getraumt'. Roba votes: +12 Saint Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart +10 Monsoon - Ever So Lonely +08 The Grid - Floatation +07 Heart - Barracuda +06 Blondie - X Offender +05 Olive - Miracle +04 Ozean - Scenic +03 Shakespear’s Sister - My 16th Apology +02 Cocteau Twins - Iceblink Luck +01 Bõa - Duvet Commiserations Texas - Tell me The Answer Saâda Bonaire - You Could Be More As You Are Total Touch - Touch Me There
June 26, 20232 yr Thanks Rob! I thought Nena was yours from your earlier comment :kink: mind still blown at the Come With Me interpolation discovery!
June 26, 20232 yr I was thinking I was sure I remembered there being another foreign language song :kink:
June 26, 20232 yr Author Suedehead is up next. He went with alternative/indie band Belly and their single Gepetto released in 1993.

June 26, 20232 yr Author I was thinking I was sure I remembered there being another foreign language song :kink: Believe it or not I'm doing this as I'm going...I had zero time to prepare the results besides adding them to the score...I'll explain later everything lol.
June 26, 20232 yr Thanks Suede! I wasn't particularly keen on this Eurythmics song ngl but happy it does have some points at least, don't want to see nul pointers becoming a regular thing here. Aw at Portishead falling back a bit from the leaders now - definitely rooting for Monsoon to take this now.
June 26, 20232 yr Author Next up is drum roll....Addy!...we went with something I wanted to sent to BJSC but then I thought why not sending it here and that is Saint Ettiene with 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart'. Here are my votes: Olive - Miracle 12 Total Touch - Touch Me There 10 Saâda Bonaire - You Could Be More As You Are 8 The Grid - Floatation 7 Nena - Nur Geträumt 6 Monsoon - Ever So Lonely 5 Blondie - X Offender 4 Collide - Violet's Dance 3 Ozean - Scenic 2 Heart - Barracuda 1 Scoreboard: 1 Monsoon - Ever So Lonely 122 2 Saint Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart 120 3 Portishead - Roads 89 4 Blondie - X Offender 69 5 Saâda Bonaire - You Could Be More As You Are 60 6 The Grid - Floatation 58 7 Cocteau Twins - Iceblink Luck 45 8 Bõa - Duvet 42 9 Total Touch - Touch Me There 41 10 Siouxsie And The Banshees - Peek-A-Boo 40 11 Nena - Nur Geträumt 40 12 Ozean - Scenic 37 13 All About Eve - Flowers in Our Hair 34 14 Collide - Violet's Dance 34 15 Aptit - Så'na Här Gånger 31 16 The Cardigans - Sick & Tired 29 17 Olive - Miracle 29 18 Heart - Barracuda 22 19 Shakespear’s Sister - My 16th Apology 18 20 Belly - Gepetto 12 21 Texas - Tell me The Answer 11 22 The Eurythmics - Aqua 3 The tension :drama:
June 26, 20232 yr oops, votes dried up a bit there, but at least I'm still just about top half for now! My personal top 3 still being the actual top 3 *.*
