I thought I Want to Be Alone from Christmas ’94 was a terrific parody of East 17 and the Pet Shop Boys, by uber-laddish ’90s comedians who got all the girls. I thought it would establish my gangsta/hipster credentials, given the last time I made a similar pun on Popular it was based on. * Not necessarily a good thing, but just wanted to crowbar in a reference to the Disposable Heroes of HipHoprisy. Obviously No Limit was, but its brilliance is in the fact that it doesn’t try too hard and its schtick isn’t based on sub-Inbetweeners innuendo from the end of the sixth form common room which spent less time thinking about music and politics* and more guffing in pint glasses and sticking clingfilm to the toilet seats.
Outhere Brothers ’bout to rip it on another tip, slip”īut FFS, I’m so sorry for comparing the people who wrote “Maggot Brain” to this. Here comes the brother with the offbeat flow In fact this toasty/rappy/dancehally bit two minutes in is a bit of manic genius, in a perfect world it’d be channeling the spirit of George Clinton: Spotify hosts this on a compilation called “LA Deep House.” Megalolz.įar less of an ordeal to listen to than Don’t Stop (Wiggle Wiggle.) I otherwise love Supergrass but if I never hear Alright again, that would be fine by me. Oh yeah, and it kept the supremely overplayed and, as a consequence, highly irritating Alright off #1. It’s still much worse than the other chart toppers around this time mentioning the word Boom though, both Will Smith and a bunny to come, due to its blaring background and aggressively bad vocals – pretty much just like DS(WW). I’m a bit of a sucker for call and response though (give me Land of 1000 Dances or something similar though, please), so that will be my own biases speaking likely. Shy Guy is marvellous I reckon, particularly the clash between the patois of the verses and the brakes coming off in English for the bridge to the chorus which is never less than thrilling for me.īoom Boom Boom has more going for it than Don’t Stop (Wiggle Wiggle) but not by much – mostly I think this is down to the chorus. This, in my view, is more cause for dismay than the Common People/Unchained Melody situation. This kept Shy Guy by Diana King off the #1. I found it tolerable then and I still do now, although there’s absolutely nothing you can really get your teeth into. I have to say that “Boom Boom Boom” seemed to be everywhere in my neck of the woods whereas “Don’t Stop (Wiggle Wiggle)” was rather underplayed, which doesn’t seem to chime with anyone else’s experiences. As it turned out, they went one further and tried to tackle their dance routine instead. Really, as an act they were an appalling choice for a student graduation ball – if they weren’t going to upset the feminists then they were surely going to upset the music snobs, and if they weren’t going to upset those then a drunken rugby boy was surely going to at the very least heckle them for being naff. Fun and works better a track than Don’t Stop, just that little bit before my time to enjoy it further.ĭid I mention on the other Outhere Brothers entry that they were booked to do a special show at my university’s graduation ceremony? Two songs in, somebody at the front grabbed one of the brother’s legs and pulled him over, and they left the stage in a huff never to return (although who knows, perhaps their set only consisted of two songs). Instead it wasn’t until about 2004 when I first heard it and immediately thought “It’s a bit No Limit/I Like to Move It, isn’t it?”. Had it come out a few years later I’d have absolutely loved it, and I’ll be feverishly writing about the positives of a future bunnied #1 with one more ‘Boom’ than this one in four years time. This, despite a clean radio edit, was perhaps not seen much on any of those.
Top of the Pops very occasionally although by 1995, at least in my household, it was never a family viewing thing and was something that just happened to be on if it proved interesting enough in competition to the other three channels.
