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

[whattheactual1]

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?

Also BoneyBack WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!! Was poor Kirsten a bit broke? Had the acting jobs dried up after Marie Antoinette?? That was hilariously bad 😂

Oh well if we're doing 80s stuff too....

Do you think OPs coming back?

TheWitchAndTrevor

someone mentioned 80s and 90s :)

Oh no I feel so old now! I loved B*witched!! Had the album, went to their concert! I've made sure my 4 year old knows this song though so some of the future generation will know it haha

What?!? No. You're not serious? This is BRILLIANT!

I feel old.

Fuck I feel old now. I never thought I'd come to terms with the fact that song is 18 years old. It can't be.

Basteriskwitched, call them by their name.

Do you think OPs coming back?

I think we've scared her off

(Although I love her a little bit for starting this thread, there's some great songs on here)

"Tech fly boss walk jam nitty gritty, you're listening to the boyz from the Big Bad City, this is jam hot..."

Nicest thing I've ever heard said about them was from Bob Mortimer who said they look like they'd been brought up on crisps!

I won a competition of walking like an Egyptian to this song at a disco

Back to the 90s

Good grief OP. Have you been weaned yet? Way to make a person feel old

Thanks for posting this op, I'd forgotten what total joyous filth this song was. Funny how some clever marketing and promoting them as innocent pop meant they got away with it! tries to imagine Nicki Minaj singing it

My best friend routinely torments me with this song. She posts it to my Facebook page, and sings it at me. Because she knows once I hear it, it's in my head for days. I'm not clicking on the video...

One of my happiest memories of DCs childhood was being at a school BBQ when the DJ played this. All the children were dancing around in a spot lit section of the playground whilst parents sat around on the grass eating picnics and drinking wine . When the Irish bit came on all they all suddenly jerked upright like little automatons and gave it their best jig (Catholic school where even the African, Indian and Phillipino children all went to Irish dancing lessons on a Saturday morning). As soon as that bit was over they slouched back to normal.

Don't call me baby

"Tech fly boss walk jam nitty gritty, you're listening to the boyz from the Big Bad City, this is jam hot..."

I could never get my tongue around this

Informer!
Dadadadadadadadadaaaaaa
A licky boom boom dooooooowwwn

One of them lives in my village, shall I ask her next time I bump into her in Aldi?

Music was much better and much more simple (in a good way) back then. Life was also much better and much MUCH more simple. Please take me back to the 90s 😭

This is possibly the best thread on Mumsnet ever!

Love this song! :o

Didn't like it at the time but now we play it loud in the car with all the 90s boy band songs too....Love it!!
