A kung fu fighter in a disco

I have forgotten -

Boris Dlugosch
Aaron Soul

I have an gigantic meeting at half 1 which is why this Now poll has come out slightly earlier than usual.

From:

"Upside Down" by A*Teens is going to get hardly any ticks. ANYONE TICKING S CLUB (which is everyone) - YOU WOULD LIKE THIS!

From:

It sounded tantalisingly familiar - hum a bit of it for us?

From:

Is this really the first appearance of Eve and Outcast?

From:

carsmilesteve.livejournal.com

is it the diana ross upside down?

can NO TICKY finally win a section???

From:

Outkast even. Hey

stevem78, has anyone ever hilariously mashed up Outkast and Cast? And do you have their home address?

From:

"Upside down! Bouncing off the ceiling!
Inside out! A stranger to this feeling!"

is the chorus.

It starts "My grades are down from As to Ds", it's about first love at school, it's irrepressibly joyful, it's got a Max Martin big pop sound, it is basically 1xTUNE.

From:

Aaron Soul = yer general rude-boy who's just missed the 2step bandwagon, banging on about his mobile phone.

From:

Boris Dlugosch - Never Enough (http://base58.com/trax/temp/neverenough.mp3)

aping 'The Time Is Now' somewhat.

outkast, cast AND ut!

From:

Eve's debut single innit and Outkast never had a hit until this one, although all of their singles before this one were ace too.

From:

Blandest Ibiza chillout song EVAR.

EVE TEH SCORPION QUEEN (http://base58.com/trax/temp/whosthatgirl.mp3)

From:

And Tin Tin Out!

From:

Urg, just relistened to it - it's worse than I remember! It's WORSE THAN DIDO.

I have a feeling these were both of their first hit singles in the UK, which would explain it. But Destiny's Child were on their third album before getting on - which is criminal.

From:

I can assure you there is far, FAR blander in that vein (the stuff from their later far-less-rich-sounding albums for starters).

From:

Man that Eve song is good. It might even be better than Sclub.

From:

!! It's off her SECOND album!

(Eve tends to bring out the Lex in me)

So was B.O.B. not a hit, or was this rereleased after wards? I=confused.

Ms Jackson is of course made even more classic by being a Karaoke honeypot - the punters step up, confident that they can belt out the chorus, and how many words can there be in the verses anyway?

From:

I thought at the time, and still think now, that this was a really fabulous, exciting time for the charts - loads of singles bending pop in exciting directions - Wheatus, Destiny's, Outkast, Eve, Mis-Teeq, Basement Jaxx. It seemed to offer the perfect response to various broadsheet bores who claimed that pop had no new ideas, no characters, no style...

...which makes it a bit baffling to me that S Club 7's serviceably jolly disco pastiche is so many people's absolute favourite!

From:

not to my knowledge m'lud

From:

Not a hit - in fact it flopped.

From:

'BOB' was a hit, a quite big one I think, but just not on a Now (this is DC's first Now appearance too!).

Lots of hip hop acts are quite um lackadaisical when it comes to a) releasing and b) promoting singles in the UK - Eve bothers to do it more than most, which is to say that she still doesn't really bother at all.

From:

the best S Club single imo - deserves the love for it's dancefloor power
