Re: REPPIN' TIME: OSYMYSO

Along with ALL BOOTLEGS EVER tbh. Osymyso was the one I hated at the time, partly b/c I never actually recognised more than 3 of the intros.

did it matter if you didn't recognise them? i suppose if you'd never heard any of the songs on it before you'd be indifferent (a lot of the hate for this kind of thing is based on fans of the originals not liking the re-context or supposedly show-off editing aspect, i suspect) and wouldn't get it as a joke. it was relying on most people knowing most of the songs tho of course.

i did actually compile a list all the intros (it was for boomselection obv) - only a couple i'd never heard of (kowkube wtf - many mistook this for The Monkees 'I'm A Believer' tho)

indifferent and vaguely annoyed by the stop-start rhythm which you couldn't dance to. plus, I hate jokes.

it's clearly not a dance track (nor intended as such)

it is pretty much my kind of joke record (unlike recent US stuff)

lots of people made lazy jive bunny comparison but actually there is something in that (i am looking forward to "defending" jive bunny on popular one day ha ha)
