What's even more interesting is that for the Rapino Bros mix which was pushed as the single version in the U.S. has some vocals on it by Sandra Chambers who sang on the other songs. Some of these dance producers had no shame. A few of the vocals on "Baby Baby" are from the Alysha Warren song they sampled which also formed the melody for most of the song, uncredited of course (the Alysha song also contains an uncredited sample of Siedah Garrett). "Baby Baby" is a remake of a song called "Babe Babe" which came out a few years before. The chorus hook is based on Siedah Garrett's "K.I.S.S.I.N.G." The lyrics were slightly modified for the "Baby Baby" remake. Curiously, Olga did a 'live' performance and for whatever reason, she lip synced the older "Babe Babe" song! Either it was intentional, or they used the wrong song. It is also possible that there were plans to cover it to be the next single and it hadn't happened yet so this was a 'placeholder' so she would have more than one song to perform. Olga apparently can sing a little and has tried to sometimes. Most of the releases under the Corona name after 2000 or so were sung by Olga herself.

Sometimes the production histories of these songs are just as fascinating, or more so, than the songs themselves.

Well I was right on Wicked Game missing the top 10, but it still deserved to be in the top 10.

You can always tell when an artist is Australian in a rankdown :kii: Who else is gonna give the Aussies their props? Also 'Chains' is an iconic piece of Australian music history, and the Tony Moran mix is fantastic.

Rooting for everything except What Is Love and You Gotta Be since those are the only two songs left I don't love

15: This is a song I helped move down from #22 to #24, so hopefully one of my lower ranks to come. And oooh nice, it's my #40 of "The Impression That I Get." I'm good with this showing up as this was my 3rd lowest rank remaining. I liked the sound of this song and hmmm, I am kinda surprised I didn't rank this higher as I do like the sound of this. I guess it's one of those songs where I like the chorus much more than the verses, which I'm not that crazy about? Good song.
14: Ahh here it goes, the song that I helped push down from #20 to #29. Plus there's a #56 for the lowest rank. So pleaseee this has to be my #56 here! Oooh yess, it's my #56 of "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand" that finally shows up. Yeahh this is just a song that doesn't appeal to me and just really bores me every time I hear it. I try to give it the time of day but it's not working for me. Definitely not surprised with this being the 6th-Highest SD. Although I was expecting this to be higher up in the SD ranks though. Whoaa at this having 15 Top 10 ranks. :o That's impressive though I was expecting more polarizing ranks. I'm good with this missing the Top 10 as I was worried there. Sorry to CJ3 for my rank.
13: Hmm a song that I helped push down from #10 to #12. I'm down to just two ranks outside of my Top 20 so fingers crossed it can be one of those, haha. Ah yay nicee, it's my #34 ranking of "Praise You." I do like this song but it's never been one of my favorites. Although it's one of those songs I've grown to like and appreciate more since it's release. I think I didn't care for this at all when it was out but I do like it now. Nice that this didn't have any Bottom 6 ranks though.
12: A song I helped move up from #13 to #11. Hmm probably one of my higher ranks but that's to be expected with most of my lower ranks showing up. *checks* Oooh nicee, it's my lowest Top 20 ranking of my #19 of "Rhythm Is a Dancer." I do really like this song and think it's a very fun song. But I'm good with it showing up now as it's my 2nd lowest rank.
11: This is a song that I kept stuck at #7, so probably something in my lower Top 10 or my higher teens? Oooof dangg, I was kinda off here as it was my #4 of "Wicked Game." Darn sad to see this song show up and just miss out from making the Top 10 as I do love this. :( This is such a beautiful and sensual song and I've just always really enjoyed the sound of it. Timeless song and video.

Of this Top 10, I have the following left: 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10 12, 14 44 Pretty strong and solid Top 10 that overall, I do really love! Got 7 out of 10 of my Top 10 remaining and 9 out of 10 of my Top 14 left. Just need that pesky #44 to show up sooner. I think I can see it making the Top 5 but hopefully it doesn't win, lol.

They really tried to break Tina here in the U.S. and sadly they were unsuccessful. :'( and the Tony Moran mix is fantastic. This was the 1st of several remixes he did around this time where he brought in additional vocalists to record additional backing vocals, harmonies, and hooks to further enhance and elevate the song in its remixed form. Nicki Richards, Michelle Weeks, and Craig Godwin were the ones who performed those duties this time around.

Solid top 10. Primitive Radio Gods got robbed, as did Everlast (but that's another story).

What I'm finding fascinating is that most of us tend to like most of the songs here but have a couple of songs we don't like as much, and seem to have picked different ones that we don't like as much. I'm curious to see if we will get a consensus #1 that all of us enjoy or not .

add me to the chorus of people who are surprised that Wicked Game didn't make top 10. But OTOH that top 11 was killer, so anything that just missed the cut would have felt like a shock to me.
Biggest surprises thus far in this rankdown: 1) I made it to the top 30 before losing any of my top 10s (I immediately took a major hit thereafter, lol) and b) I Gotta Man being my last bottom 10 song to exit the rankdown (I almost never come into these rankdowns expecting much for the lesser known male rap/r&b songs).
1 2 3 10 12 13 14 16 18 29
I love all of my top 20, and like my #29 fine enough (it's only that low bc I find it a bit too mellow compared to other songs on this list that I like), so I'm very pleased with this final set! I have no clue what will win out here; there are only three songs that I think definitely won't pull it off.

2,6,8,9 11,12,14,19 22,32
I'm a bit surprised Apple is still in, otherwise nothing else is really that surprising.
I can see 8 of the 10 possibly winning.

Dayum, I can see why it could be a bit annoying for some people, which I respectfully disagree that it’s annoying at all, but wow a 56 last place is a bit harsh.

I heard this song so much when I was a teen, but it only gives it more of a nostalgic feeling rather than making it annoying.

I have no idea what this one could be, maybe Closing Time? Don’t think anyone would tank that. But I think it could be top 5.
Or could be You Gotta Be as well.

This was a great discovery for me. Surprisingly I wasn’t familiar with this before the Rankdown. Not surprised it doesn’t have any tankers at all. Who could dislike this?

Haters? No. I enjoyed almost every song on this whole rankdown. The question is which I enjoyed more.
