Of these remaining songs, there's none I particularly like, but I Feel Love gets the vote for Giorgio Moroder; KM,KY loses points for Alan Partridge.

Three Abba songs in top five? Come on they're good but suggests a lack of imagination - we're better than that

 

(plus I've given Rod Stewart most of my points this round - will be really depressing at a difficult time of year if he doesn't make the top 5 )

When I jumped on this bandwagon yesterday, it was more in hope than expectation, but seems to be gaining traction. I fully accept its unimaginative, but of the bottom 3 songs, I prefer Fernando. Sorry GUN...

[Toast 14,800]

What a boring bunch of fuckers you are.

[TQR 12,058]

ABBA is fine, but 3 in the top 5? That’s not.

There we go - and tbh, I'd much rather save Fernando than Knowing Me Knowing You.
