Took me forever to come around on post-Ladies' Night K&TG. But I have.

67?! I think we already went crazy, man.
Well, that's all but three of my top ten that have shown up so far. And those three are absolute shoo-ins.

Kid Creole's songs are so fun (and easy) to karaoke.

tooooooo lowwwwwwwww
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 16 May 2017 15:10 (nine years ago)
Erotic City would've been top 10 if I voted--the way the call-and-response lines flow together in the chorus, the irresistible groove, the brilliant use of negative space.
― meekseeks mill (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 16 May 2017 15:14 (nine years ago)
And the Beat Goes On is an amazing song, and one of like 4 or 5 on this list that I first discovered through Will Smith's rapping career.
― meekseeks mill (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 16 May 2017 15:15 (nine years ago)
bienvenido a miami
Perfect song, should've been in the top 20.

it's just sinking in after 34 years, but the parenthesis in that song title is a thing of wonder

― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Tuesday, 16 May 2017 16:26 (nine years ago)
(An inevitable selection and I can't argue against it.)
Yes! Not the biggest fan of Richie, but this tune is undeniable, so sweet and warm and full of joie de vivre.

Huh! I wouldn't have expected it to show up this late in the game, but I welcome it.

Whenever I see this title I think of the Scottish coloquialism 'square go' and that's abut as familiar as I am with it

Hi!

my #1, I believe
Another pleasant surprise! The last two were trimmed from my ballot last minute.

Any curveballs at this point much appreciated!
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Tuesday, 16 May 2017 17:04 (nine years ago)
yes!! an amazing song. i love how the women's backing vox in the chorus sound, like a voice in your head or the ~truth descended from the sky
― dyl, Tuesday, 16 May 2017 17:07 (nine years ago)
they're barely different but i think i slightly prefer the mix on the album version to the single/video mix (which is in the youtube link)
― dyl, Tuesday, 16 May 2017 17:08 (nine years ago)
actually upon listening to the single mix again not even slightly, the album version >

"I'm Coming Out" was my #62, so this is an acceptable position.

Criticize far too low. Does that mean Fake won't place now? :(

I voted for I'm Coming Out but I had My Old Piano much higher on my list. That's always been my favourite of the singles from that album.
Glad to see Criticize make it. I guess I'll have to give up on A Broken Heart Can Mend making it now?

― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 16 May 2017 17:35 (nine years ago)
Yay! One of the greatest a capella intros in pop music, and the rest of the tune is just as solid. I've never actually seen the video before, they're so cute in it! :)
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 16 May 2017 17:38 (nine years ago)
Also, how many other pop hits there are which are odes to a long-term relationship and the work it takes to keep it working? This song is just so awesome in every way.

The first salvo in refining this (amazing) style, but I like some of the subsequent ones even better.

this countdown has been a weird combination of songs I heard a million time during my childhood and things I've never heard before, not a lot of middle ground
