My mistake, no #Poppelgangers on the copy of the Index I have access to.

They DID reach Pollhalla though - the final, in fact, see below.

(and they're on @meikle.bsky.social's Pollhalla playlist)

So I take it all back. Not eligible.

bsky.app/profile/peop...

(and now I just have to choose between "the OPEN GOAL missed by everyone in #Poppelgangers" and "my actual favourite")

(still get pangs of regret about not doing 'Candy' in #Poppelgangers as well, damnit)

Can't help wishing I'd nommed this as my bonus for #Poppelgangers, with Rosalia (whose song references a third 'Candy').

It won't come up in BPHM 86-89 unless Word Up is somehow missed, either.

Coming round to 2006 more now.

I realise Maneater and Rihanna’s SOS need the same redemption arc as ABBA’s SOS, after they were so carelessly omitted from #Poppelgangers.

Went to see A Midsummer’s Night Dream in the park, it had an 80’s theme and they played Power of Love by both Huey Lewis and Jennifer Rush - made me think of #poppelgangers

(I think SOS is better, but I would have picked Mamma Mia had we not inexplicably forgot SOS in #Poppelgangers...

anyway, needn't have worried, it's already been mained and quite right too)

It’s a shame this didn’t come out in time for #Poppelgangers as we could have had two songs called “Slowdive” neither of which are by Slowdive

Day 11: 🟡 "Golden," Zella Day 🟡

I kinda regret not doing this as my half my nomination for #poppelgangers (paired with My Morning Jacket, natch). I think a lot of you jokers On Here don't know Zella Day but would appreciate her neo-disco offerings.

Monumental convergence of #ClassicAlbumThursday #Poppelgangers and

I just found my early #Poppelgangers Notes. Dang it, STITCHES by Shawn Mendes/Pigspigspigspigs etc was a great one!

Ten years later I'm only just learning of Robin Schulz's impressive commitment to a #poppelgangers bit

how this song failed to set #Poppelgangers alight will forever remain a mystery

(the failure obviously not being that of the song - or its partner - itself)

So CONGRATULATIONS to the WINNER of #Poppelgangers

🥇"I WISH" - Stevie Wonder & Skee-Lo

and to the runners-up

🥈"The Look Of Love" (Dusty Springfield/ABC)
🥉"Dreams" (Fleetwood Mac/Cranberries)

Skee-Lo... in the world of people's pop, you ARE a baller
