MD can work in a soundtrack setting but I would be twiddling my thumbs after 2 minutes of listening to it without distractions.

Midnight To Stevens totally blew me away on first listen as I was expecting a CR-era type b-side. Instead it has this wonderfully organic sound that I wish they'd pursued on Combat Rock. There is also real songwriting there, not just vamping on a couple of chords like a lot of the 81-82 stuff. I'm genuinely mystified as to why it seems so unpopular.
Not to mention the genuine sentiment.
Indeed. Joe sounds like he's feeling the lyrics rather than reading off a lyric sheet, which is my problem with some songs on CR.

MD is probably my secoen favorite track of this lot. Great little mix. I actually prefer Mustapha Dance, but that already got eliminated.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead

Fuck, Stop the World pulled level, just as I was warming to it.

We now have the best two songs on the list heading out.

Are you insane? TIRC is there. I know you like RC more, but it's not THAT different.

Magnificent Dance, let's see the end to these non songs.

How people are voting for Midnight against said non songs is beyond me.
Yep, I've been voting MD every time. Without the lyrics it just gets tedious.
It's something nobody would ever choose to listen to.

And Midnight's getting the votes...
MD was the theme tune for that TV show a few years back. The one that had the funny scene where they had a lip reader in court lip reading a CCTV clip of a guy singing Bankrobber 🤣
Found the earlier scene which is then lip read in Court.
