Shoulda been Geno, though. It's incomprehensible at the best of times, imagine it Karaoke style when pissed! :-)

Oooooo, I'm going to enjoy this one, I think. S'about time they went for specific decades. There's a 95% probability I'll win against my girlfriend as she won't know most of these! :D

Can't wait to see what else is on the playlist - and what new features they pop into this new one.

You'd win against me as well MikkyX, your girlfriend doesn't know them and i've blanked them from my mind. :)

They'd be better served releasing "SingStar: Vice City" i reckon.

I think I climaxed twice before I reached the end of that list.

Stop the presses - this is clearly *the* single most important event in gaming history.

but will this version actually mean you have to sing well or just in a monotone dull way that the game likes?

I know which method my vocal chords favour.

Why The Power of Love from Frankie? Not the most rousing singalong they've ever done, is it?

Still, A Little Respect should break a few vases and windows in a comedy fashion.

MikeD, I don't know but in my head it's always in German.
Bad Top of The Pops flashback or something. :)

Sure. Nena has made both a German end an English version. Björk has made one in English as well I think.

Too bad they won't include both the English and the German versions, that would have been ace.

hmm, using the English version would suck. I can't imagine 99 red balloons sounding anywhere near as good as the ole' German version.

luftballon(s?) just sounds so much better than red balloons.

Why "Running up that hill"? Surely "Wuthering Heights" would have been far better?

"Ice, Ice, baby. Oh yeah, Ice, Ice, baby."

I think those were the only lyrics. I hear Vanilla Ice is a drug addict now.

Excellent. Worth it just for The Final Countdown. The list is looking good - just needs a bit more 80s "rawk" imho.

80s rawk = Def Leppard and Bon Jovi. Let's just leave it alone, eh?

As for Vanilla Ice, didn't you watch The Farm last year? He's a fucking idiot, but I don't think he's a druggie. Or maybe that's happened since. Must be his 'renewed' 'fame' that did it.
