To think this song can't be serious. Please tell me it was created as a joke?

Just came across this song and video on my youtube. Apparently it reached number 1!

I'm traumatised from just watching it!

It was meant as a joke surely?

Seriously?? SERIOUSLY!?? My DD1 was born in 2007. DD2 was 2009. Both love B*witched's absolute classic tunes! Even DS1 (2012) knows enough to sing along to Cest la vie!

I can't believe "Don't Speak" was 1992. That has freaked me out.

Faez Thanks, now I'm watching those Trapped in the Closet songs... You know I don't think I've ever heard of these.

You know I don't think I've ever heard of these.

You've missed out on life! Beautifully poetic lyrics such as "I pulled back the cover oh my god a rubber, rubber, rubber" and "He points the gun in his face, the midget say god i think i just shited on myself" await you Wink enjoy Grin it's the most brilliantly wtf thing ever!

Ah, but @Hudson10, the Vengaboys Ibiza was a cover of this song from my 70s childhood

Oh dear, not heard that version before - what did I just listen to? Grin
Give me Vengaboys version any day lol
(although liking the fact I'm exapnding my cheese knowledge, so filing away under Cheese Grin

Showing my age, but I remember this so well from the summer I turned twelve. Utter cheese and super-dubious video but still make me smile when I hear it (admittedly very rarely).

I err lost my virginity was kissing my boyfriend in the back seat of his red Escort whilst his friend sat in the front and tubthumping came into the radio. Every time I hear it I imagine I can smell Charlie Red and condom lubricant.

Memories... ahem Confused

To redress the balance, The Connells had an amazing song - 74-75 with a great video of their class mates grown up. They updated it a year or so ago now and a couple of them have since died. Still makes me tear up...

Great stuff, are you from Mablethorpe duckSmile

I heard this today

woodhill · 11/07/2017 17:06

I like Betty Boop and the clever interjection of Captain of your ship at the beginning.

Hudson10 · 11/07/2017 17:07

Sabrina Boys Boys Boys brings back all the nostalgia for the school disco, Panda Pops, boys dancing in one corner, girls in the other!! Sigh, memories Grin
This one too -

It's just dawned on me.
If you were born in 1999 you're an adult.

But the 90s was only 3 years ago!
...
as you were

B*Witched on the radio this morning. Still awful.

Hudson10 · 11/07/2017 17:19

If you were born in 1999 you're an adult.

You don't want to go down that road, it's too depressing... Grin

We can't have 90s and 80s cheese without the King and Queen of 80s cheese - Jason and Kylie.
I so loved Jason as a very young teen
