They do improve upon the original in fairness, but there are several better here.

Isn't it based on a James Brown song?

I couldn't get on this site yesterday as it was apparently being upgraded so surprised to see everyone else could and the game continued (with the death of 3 of my favourites). Anyway... 13/7/2024 66 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Souvenir 61 The Vapors - Turning Japanese  57 Madness - Baggy Trousers 44 Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry 37 Earth, Wind & Fire - Let’s Groove -6 13 Spandau Ballet - Chant No. 1 (I Don’t Need This Pressure On) +4

Everything left (inc My Girl) is good. My least favourites are EW&F and OMD but would still rank them above 90% of the stuff we voted on in late 80s, 90s and noughties.
