PJOPS XI: Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!) Edition - Ceremony at 8pm!!!

Welcome to the 11th Edition of the Popjustice Oldies Pre Shit Contest or PJOPS for short. In the light of you all being foolish enough to let me win and thus host, the theme this time is 'Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!).

[video=youtube;gy2ut2Q4q-A]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy2ut2Q4q-A[/video]

That's right folks I want dance choons. But not just house and disco it could be 'Rumba and Tango, Latin Hustle, too'. I don't care what type of dance it is as long as the music was specifically made to dance to. Remember Glenn Miller was 'dance' in his day.

Whilst it probably won't be a vetoing offence I would urge you to try and enter actual 'dance' songs by 'dance' artists. I don't want this to be like the Grammy's hopeless 'Best Dance Recording' award, which given out to the likes Janet, Britney, Justin and Gaga because they've released a song with a bit of a beat to it.

Standard PJOPS rules apply I.E. NO SONGS FROM THE YEAR 2000 ONWARDS YOU WILL BE VETOED IF YOU DO SO basically anything pre 2000 counts. Obviously don't enter very well known groups e.g Abba, The Beatles, Spice Girls, The Supremes etc as they will be vetoed.

- When submission opens you must PM the host which is myself your entry including a link to listen to the song (Youtube/Soundcloud etc) in the following format:

Artist: (Name of Artist)
Song: (Song Title)
Link: (Youtube/Soundcloud link)

- Submission Updates will be posted here on the first page and you will be notified by PM if your entry is vetoed. If you are vetoed you may pick another entry.

- When submisson closes voting will then commence you must send your votes in a Eurovision format:

12 points (Your Favourite)
10 Points
8 Points
7 Points
6 Points
5 Points
4 Points
3 Points
2 Points
1 Points (Least Favourite)

Then no points for everyone else and obviously don't vote for your own entry.

- You must not reveal your entry until voting closes and you must not talk about your votes until the host has revealed them.
- Non voting will result in your score being halved and disqualification from the next contest.
- The winner of this contest will be given the opportunity to host the next round though this is not compulsory and this may be passed on to the runner(s) up and so on.

Submission: Saturday 17th May - Sunday 25th May
Voting: 27th May - 4th June (This may get extended when it turns out I have no idea what I'm doing.
Results: Fuck Knows.

I would like to thank Sophia for stealing this template. As you can tell this edition is going to be a very high tech affair with me using all of the very latest computer wizardry to keep you all dazzled (Or maybe in keeping with the PJOPS ethos just a pen and paper).

Get submitting!

Re: PJOPS XI: Dance, Dance Dance (Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!) Edition - Submissions Open!!!

Well then - a theme with a bit of a challenge. I'll have to dig for this one!

 

Re: PJOPS XI: Dance, Dance Dance (Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!) Edition - Submissions Open!!!

Really???

I specifically chose this because it would be easy (And fun).

 

Re: PJOPS XI: Dance, Dance Dance (Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!) Edition - Submissions Open!!!

Maybe I could try submitting Neoton Familia again.

 

Re: PJOPS XI: Dance, Dance Dance (Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!) Edition - Submissions Open!!!

This is my new favourite thing!

I actually have a couple of immediate ideas for this theme, which is better than I normally manage.

 

Re: PJOPS XI: Dance, Dance Dance (Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!) Edition - Submissions Open!!!

I thought I would put my artistic skills to good use.

It was supposed to be a man with an afro dancing but my friend Clews just told me it looks like a Russian cossack.

 

Re: PJOPS XI: Dance, Dance Dance (Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!) Edition - Submissions Open!!!

Amazing.

This is going to be fun! I'll channel my inner funky monkey and scour all my dance/groove compilations....

 

Re: PJOPS XI: Dance, Dance Dance (Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!) Edition - Submissions Open!!!

Ooh I like this theme so much I already entered the tightest funk song ever last time... Can I just do it again - with a bit more DANCEY video to boot:

Re: PJOPS XI: Dance, Dance Dance (Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!) Edition - Submissions Open!!!

I'm getting entries already.

How exciting!!!

 

Re: PJOPS XI: Dance, Dance Dance (Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!) Edition - Submissions Open!!!

Amazing.

I was stymied for a minute and half-prepared to submit an Archies flop, but then I remembered a choon off one of my dad's 45s I listened to as a child...

 

Re: PJOPS XI: Dance, Dance Dance (Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!) Edition - Submissions Open!!!

That category is just woeful.

The list of genre defining dance acts that have won include those above (Justin has won twice????) as well as Rihanna, Kylie and The Baha Men. Gloria Estefan has been nominated along with Lionel Ritchie, Enrique Iglesias, Jennifer Lopez, Mika!!!

It's like Paul Potts winning in the 'Opera' categories.

I'll let Madonna and Cher off because at least they specifically made dance albums even if they are popstars.

Things have got better in recent years but for the first decade it was a complete mess.

 

Re: PJOPS XI: Dance, Dance Dance (Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!) Edition - Submissions Open!!!

Gloria and Kylie have made actual dance records and had a strong influence on the field (at least in the US), but "Come Into My World" isn't a dance track, like, at all.

 

Re: PJOPS XI: Dance, Dance Dance (Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!) Edition - Submissions Open!!!

Submitted.

Fingers crossed Eric doesn't try to veto me as usual.

 

Re: PJOPS XI: Dance, Dance Dance (Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!) Edition - Submissions Open!!!

So strange, I was just thinking dance would be a great theme!

 

Re: PJOPS XI: Dance, Dance Dance (Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!) Edition - Submissions Open!!!

It will be a close run thing. I'm just annoyed you entered it before I did.

 

Re: PJOPS XI: Dance, Dance Dance (Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!) Edition - Submissions Open!!!

Great entries so far by the way.

I'll start sending them out to the veto panel in batches as soon as I get a few more.

 

Re: PJOPS XI: Dance, Dance Dance (Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah!) Edition - Submissions Open!!!

I wish people uploading video/audio clips to YT would actually take the trouble to check they are okay first! I had to mess Mr C around because my original video was a vinyl rip that started buggering up 95% of the way through.
