The History Of Pop Part 38 aka My baby's got no money, he's got his true belief

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The last of 1997, and if you think some of the big hits are being held over until next time...you'd be right. But the nation was in NO MOOD for pop party fun as - sob! bawl! - DI DIED, and weren't we all glad that Sir Richard Ashcroft was there to help us through it. There's no sign of Elton on this Now, by the way, even though he bossed the charts - to sully such a beautiful track by including it on a compilation would of course be unthinkable, so you'll have to save your ticks.

Hanson's "Mmmmbop" won Now 37 at a canter, after tying with the Spice Girls for a long time. The Cardigans ended up in third. And now, over to you lot.

EVERYONE at my school was an RHCP fan. I think they were probably the most popular band in my year. I remember people being annoyed that they changed the gender of the city.

I also remember seeing some Year 7 girls singing the chorus while everyone was waiting to be picked up, and people pointed and laughed and were all like OMG they don't know it's really about DRUGZ!!!111 but we do therefore WE ARE SO COOL!!!!!1111
