The History of Pop Part 52 aka It's all about the dog in me

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Great rejoicing at Lex Towers as Aaliyah finally wins a Now poll - she's in it again, as are a few other former winners, as are the Sugababes, and Scooter, Ms Dynamite, Nelly and...Idlewild. Summer 2002 - it was really hot, there was some terrific pop in the charts and a World Cup was on. How times change...


[Poll #746498]


TICKNO TICKNO TICKNO TICKNO!

This will be the LAST Now poll for over TWO WEEKS as I'm on holiday from Wednesday, so enjoy it while you can. The final 12 volumes in the series will occupy us nicely during July and August I'm sure.

Ms Dynamite

It's the preachy one which was actually good - mostly thanks to an incendiary vocal performance.

Now who gives a damn
About the ice on your hands?
If its not too complex
Tell me how many Africans died
For the baguettes on your Rolex?

She was still better as an MC though - everyone knows 'Booo!' I assume, but there's a track she did with Ed Case called 'Deal With The Matter' which is absolutely incredible.
