July 5, 20241 yr Good Times has to be the most ironic title of those! Blood on the Dancefloor very apt for 1997!
July 5, 20241 yr So it was Shakespears Sister's fault in 92! 2019 is quite funny too Edited July 5, 20241 yr by AcerBen
July 6, 20241 yr I believe in 2017, an artist called Captain Ska tried to get the "election number 1" with a song about Theresa May being a liar. I think they got to number 2? I'm a bit surprised it isn't a bigger thing, considering the popularity of protest songs over the years!
July 8, 20241 yr Is there a reason for you not recognising Tones And I's stage name or x It wasn't via an election but this thread can't go without a mention of Liz Truss becoming prime minister while 'B.O.T.A. (Baddest Of Them All)' was at #1, truly apt.

July 8, 20241 yr Author It might make sense, but it gives me the ick, so she remains Toni Watson in my lists.
July 10, 20241 yr That's just bizarre. Do you go round referring to Stormzy as Michael Owuo, or Pink as Alecia Moore, or Tom Jones as Thomas Woodward? :lol:
