The History of Pop Part 33 aka Got the cash, feeling flash in Leicester Square

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Back. Back! BACK!!! It's the Now poll, this time muscled into 1996 by an Oasis track on each arm. Now 32 was a second win for Pulp, closer this time though with Coolio and Shaggy trailing. Can Pulp make it 3 in a row? On paper this looks like a weak opposition but who knows which way the whim of Poptimists will wend?

Can't Remember

East 17 - "Thunder"
Gusto
Ken Doh
this Louise song

Ken Doh makes me think of Ken C made out of play-doh, so no tick there.

I can't remember Gusto or Ken Doh either but ticked them on the basis that they're probably a bit ravey.

Louise goes "in walked - love! in walked - you! in walked something something something". bouncy pop fun as per.

they're both handbagtastic. although this won't be the original version of 'Disco's Revenge' which had a fantastic tomtom breakdown and no shitty vocals.

Gusto no doubt heavily inspired that late '90s/early 00's song that was rereleased under different names all the time (and was the true revenge of disco): Music sounds better with you/Turn Around/Groovejet/Lady.

funnily enough i know which songs were sampled for MSBWY, Turn Around, Groovejet and Lady but not sure where Gusto plundered his groove from.

he went on to cover 'Let's All Chant' for his second single of course.

amusing pop fact: the original title of the Ken-Doh track was 'Nagasaki'. DYS?!

it's average handbag fare. worth another listen sometime. i don't have it tho.
