The History Of Pop Part 40 aka Whats She Gonna Look Like With A Chimney On Her?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Popfrenzy '98 continues in Now 40 with Billie, Fatboy Slim and DJ DAZ!!!! making their first appearances on a Now (the latter in the guise of BUS STOP). The Spice Girls slide towards their end but the pop world they left behind is thriving.

Now 39 was closely fought but "Never Ever" pulled ahead to win it - double All Saints for your consideration this time - with Pulp, Cornershop and the Spice Girls close behind among a number of high-scoring contenders.

Also, that Karen Ramirez song was bloody massive wasn't it? She must surely join the Poptimists' legendary one-hit wonder canon?

Oh I've forgotten Karen R too - how did it go?

Kind of downtempo handbag house - Sade-esque voice, "I didn't know I was looking for love - until I found you". It's quite brilliant.

Is it a cover of the Hazel Deane song?

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

I don't know! I don't know who Hazel Deane is :(

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

it was a cover of Everything But The Girl, tho that may in turn have been a cover of Deane?

I don't think EbtG would have covered Hazel. Now I come to think of it, her song may have been called 'Searching (looking for love). It was an original hi-NRG stomper, back in the block party era.
