Massive cheesers that should get you bottled off but actually lift the vibe

[Solid State]

Rotter 3's idea, this thread, after the Love Is In The Air 'debate' ... scroll down... http://195.238.232.184/~djhistory/forum/showthread.php?t=27101&page=4

So Im going to get him to contribute first! ;)

[Solid State]

OK, while we wait... here's one - having heard it on a BS mix, I played out 'Sky High' (Disco version) by Jigsaw, which literally made me rush when I listened to it at home.

Here's one that SHOULD have done all the above in my opinion... but in the event it just kind of split the crowd into those who could tolerate it and those who couldnt... the latter group leaving the floor en masse.. Not quite the hands in the air ecstatic effect I was hoping for!

I blame the crowd.... you TRY to educate them and they just throw it back in your face... ;)

Queen - Don't Stop Me Now , every wedding it doesn't fail.

Groove Armanda - Superstylin, this makes a whole generation jump and down.

I've got no credibility left now of the little I didn't have.

Does Fatback Band - I Found Lovin' fall into this category?

Does Fatback Band - I Found Lovin' fall into this category?

Hmmmm...

I think there has to be more of a grey area as to whether it's even good or not! This one is clearly good, just a bit overplayed (maybe.. and only then to crowds of a certain age).

Think GM is on the case/money with Queen!

PHEW! Thought so - don't know why I had me doubts!

[Solid State]

Ive taken to digging up 'Can U Party'?' by Royal House of late, a track that was SO overplayed in its day (and in the end a big chart hit, of course) it would have once been a dead cert for this thread, being an absolute dancefloor banker for years before almost being forgotten, after Timmy Mallet made 'check this out' samples a crime against House.

Buuuuut now?... well, it's still KINDA cheesy, sure... And it definitely lifts the vibe... So I guess it ticks all the boxes ;)

CHECK THIS OUT!

Spiller - it's a fookin' cracker of a tune but was so massive and spent ages at number 1 recently enough i think it'd annoy a lot of club-going types who like to hear music that doesn't remind them of BBC commercials.

great wedding tune tho - maybe one of the best vocal house tracks for that purpose - but that's another thread!

That tune rocks Solid, it makes me smile every time I hear it.

If the crowd (or any other member of the "party" for that matter) have a sense of humour failure I reckon they're either taking the wrong drugs, drinking too much, deaf or in the wrong club.

People who think they're too hip to dance to record like that kinda irritate me.

As Greg Wilson so aptly put it...

After all, it’s not school, it’s a party!

A few soundtracks: National Lampoon's Animal House, Blues Brothers, good Morning Vietnam - all of which do the business.

[Body Language]

Ive taken to digging up 'Can U Party'?' by Royal House of late,


Great tune! Which leads really nicely into 'I'll House You'. Another totally-played-out cheesy winner.

[jaime s]

teehee.

another good moment was when danny wang played boys by sabrina. :-D

[Richard Carnage]

Ce Ce Peniston - Finally

Always a winner on the TAPE dancefloor back in the day (er, meaning about two or three years back...). Nothing wrong with Ride On Time either - I'm pretty sure that came out too!

[Richard Carnage]

Also Robin S's 'Show Me Love' - both the original and Kerri Chandler mixes. Banger!

[deepconcentration]

Talizman - Only You.

Cheesy as hell but when it works, it works.

i used to play that, with the fake military snare breakdown in the middle... pretty dope.

another cowboy record that was corny, but worth the mention "purity" by the aloof.

[greg wilson]

OK, while we wait... here's one - having heard it on a BS mix, I played out 'Sky High' (Disco version) by Jigsaw, which literally made me rush when I listened to it at home.


I wasn't a fan of this record at all when it came out, but remember Terry Lennaine, the local Soul Show presenter, who I very much respected, being hugely into this. He obviously never played it on the Soul Show, but you could almost guarantee that if ever he was doing another show, with a more commercial playlist, 'Sky High' was in there.

He's still on radio today (a small station on Merseyside), and I stumbled on his show in the car one day. Some things never change as there it was, I couldn't believe it, 'Sky bloody High'! It was good to hear it, somewhat akin to bumping into an old friend you haven't seen since school, albeit someone who was a bit of a dickhead.

It just doesn't sit right with me personally, but there's no denying that it's a very dynamic record that clearly excites some.

Nice tale, Greg.

I had a similar deja vu flashback to our local Radio Hallam/childhood... I could never have told you who did the tune, but it came off BS's mix like a lightening bolt from the dim and distant past - and here was a record that I hadnt heard in almost 30 years I found I remembered clear as a bell... so I googled the lyrics to get the artiste name!

I played i my mate and he thought it was the worst thing ever.... the Marmite effect: could it be the sign of a truly great record? ;)

In fact any hip-house record, even the shit ones (i.e 99% of hip-house from the late 80s).

In the same vein - Silver Bullit - 20 Seconds to Comply

Not strictly cheesy but one you could imagine bombing that has always been good to me.

Comment wasn't directed at you Boogie Monster, sorry if you saw it as such, must have been someone earlier in the thread who nominated 'Never Can Say Goodbye'. Your post was obviously positive, but someone must have viewed it as 'a massive cheeser' for you to mention it.

[Rotter3*]

We weren't meaning to dismiss any of these tracks Greg - this thread came about because of the Love is in Air debate. It was a celebration rather than a dismissal.

[greg wilson]

We weren't meaning to dismiss any of these tracks Greg - this thread came about because of the Love is in Air debate. It was a celebration rather than a dismissal.

Yeah I know, but it's is a pretty dismissive term for such influential records. It's not as though it's celebrating the positive aspects of the tracks.

If the thread was called something like 'Classic tunes that are a bit cheesey to my ears', or something like that, I'd understand (as I say, it's all subjective), but to pick out tracks like 'Rock Your Baby' and 'Never Can Say Goodbye', from all the records that could have been chosen, as examples of 'Massive Cheesers that should get you bottled off but actually lift the vibe' is what I find confusing.

I've never heard either of these records previously mentioned in the context of cheese, and to my ears they're both out and out great tracks - maybe I'm out of touch with what people feel about them nowadays.

I would certainly have never considered these as the type of tunes that might get you bottled off - I'll have to be more careful when I play them in future :-).

[Rotter3*]

It really wasn't meant to be disrespectful mate - it was just a joke between me and Solid that became a longer lived thread than expected.

From a personal perspective, I'm 40 - I grew up with Rock Your Baby on the stereo at home. It was the kind of thing that my old dear listened to alongside Barry Manilow and The Carpenters.

At the time I had no idea of it's place in the disco cannon.

Cheese, like you say, it's very subjective.

The next time I heard that record was in 1990 on an E at the Promised Land and sounded fucking amazing.

It certainly lifts the vibe!

That explains a lot! Heard within that context it's no wonder it had that connotation for you (although Karen Carpenter's wonderful voice rises above the cheesiest of cheese - something that can't be said of Barry Manilow).

Not sure why, I just do!

Londonbeat... much better... Anyone else got that T Humphries Zanz/Garage-style cover version from 1992? (Camille, I think it was by, on Martru) It's not great or owt, but it made me feel better about liking the OG at the time!

[Padraig]

ok i f we 're talkin on the 'funki' house vibe - i still love Flawless - by the Ones

( and its causes mayhem - its bassline is LARGE )

Last time I heard this in a club was at Wiggle, i.e. about the last place you'd expect to hear it.

And yes there was much mayhem to behold.

I played "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" at Late Night Audio 18 months ago.

Same here - Amsterdam 1989, believing that we really could make the world a better place :-)

Is there a dub? I just play the really long sex mix (although there are a few different sex mixes all called the sex mix).

i ', m just talkin the Sex mix , its the b side i think , it s got no vocals till 3/4 the way through , but its defintly dubbed out ..and synth-tastic


I tink that the one that you are referring to is the confusingly titled "Original Mix"

Jeez, those 2nd hand copies on Discogs are WELL expensive! Like most people, I owned this when it was new, but like many, Id imagine, I sold it off at some point, believing it would never sound good again...

Must remember next time I see it to pick one up - Never bothered in the past, and you still see so many copies in the chazza shops. And blow me (as Holly Johnson would have said) it DOES sound good now, doesnt it? There's a time and a place, obviously, but yeah...

back to back cheese confessions... buffalo stance-into-crystal waters(gypsy)-into- this.. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ai6Xd6a-2HY) and then into a deep dark hangover from which i thought i'd never see the light of day again...

Does it go down well?

[Sell By Dave]

I once played Elton John's 'Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting' at best before:. It got a great reaction, somewhat bizarrely. Cheesy as hell and wrong, but in my drunken state it made sense. I also used to have a thing for 'Modern Love' by Bowie.

[Martin Red]

Get Down Saturday Night - Oliver Cheatham (Massively overplayed, but still good)


Had this from the off, and it wasn't overplayed at all, quite underplayed for may moons. Until that cunt version came out and it was re-found and the original went onto lots of Disco compilations.

Then it went into "relight my fire" territory, where cheese laden moms would fill the floor, literally. Vannessa Feltz and her chap doing it, now there's a mental image we can all do without.

do it! ladies completely loose their minds to it... age/race/transgender...

and oliver cheatham is next to impossible to find around here on lp or 12...
and the MF is from detroit. tune times a million...

NOW matthew wilder on the other hand is another guilty pleasure, that will either work or people will throw their drinks at the booth...
also legs (extended) by zz top always kills at the gay bar...

I don't know the Oliver Cheatham by name. I'm guessing I'd recognize, but everyone has been mentioning, and I have no idea.

Legs is another one I've taken with me in the past, but never quite had the bottle. Haven't played a gay night in years (but have been looking for one to play - maybe I'll make a mental note of this as a secret weapon).

I did post a few lines earlier but didn't spell it out - Malcolm Maclaren's Double Dutch. Has never failed me as a peak time 'cool cheeser'.

[Quirkes]

Also 'Young Turks' by Rod again (on a bit of a Rodney tip at the moment) - Wedding-pleaser again! (the old dears love it!)

i cleared an entire bar playing this once
id say the bartenders would have left too if they could have

I played Steve Miller's Abracadabra at our boat party a couple of years ago. The party totally erupted and never looked back from that point.

so i was at no ordinary monkey in september and they played this. everyone went nuts. i couldn't have been happier.

[Paul H]

I don't know if anyone can confirm this (Mike P?) but I heard that Sasha played 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' at the end of a night once?

I like the song and have thought about what it would sound like in an altered state with loads of likeminded folk...either very right or very wrong I reckon.

Yes! 'everybody everybody' was my fave black box - esp the extended remix -huge record in 1990

At the time it was a big end of night tune lapped up by an appreciative crowd

Tho that was probably more to do with the little white doves theyd taken rather than it being a classic

I heard him play it several times, think it was at his Thursday night residency at "The Park" in Chorley. BTW, that old school anthems thread is hilarious... scroll down the page. ;)

Nah Acapulco's gone Grime & Dark Dubstep, it's the Yucatan where cheesy 60s rave covers are in these days. FACT.
