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?

Love this one from my angst ridden teen years!

Does anyone remember Coco Jambo!?

Does anyone also remember Freed from Desire? When we were kids at school we used to sing

Your mom has got no money
Your dad is on the dole
So you went down to Aldi
And stole a sausage roll
You're on the run with an Aldi sausage roll
You're on the run....

paddypants13 · 12/07/2017 18:29

Mission - I loved both of these songs.

I have to say I prefer your version of Freed from Desire GrinGrinGrin

How old are you? 12?

I was 8 when I was bought their first album for Christmas. I used to listen to the Blame it on the Weatherman song over and over.

B*witched isn't that bad!

Now barbie girl... that's utter filth!

MissionItsPossible · 12/07/2017 19:21

paddypants13 me too Grin

I don't know what song this was set to (I think perhaps a football chant) but it went:

Let's all go to Tescos
Where name of victim buys their best clothes
They're really really nifty
At only one pound fifty

Upyourdaisy · 12/07/2017 19:23

MissionItsPossible oh my god I'm downloading that NOW!!! (coco jambo)

classic daily

LalaLeona · 12/07/2017 20:45

Why is everyone saying this is a classic? It was shit when it came out and still is!!

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 12/07/2017 20:46

Layla you're wrong.

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 12/07/2017 20:46

*lala

LalaLeona · 12/07/2017 21:10

I'm sorry I'm so shocked that people still listen to it! It was a throwaway pop song that has not aged well and there's a reason you never hear it on the radio anymore! Come on guys! Smile

Imbeingunreasonable · 12/07/2017 22:34

Jimmy Nail with his shit music vid saying 'she's lying' over and over again

HolyShmoly · 12/07/2017 22:41

Speaking of Jimmy Nail. Fog on the Tyne isn't on Spotify and it ruined a recent day out cause I couldn't add it to a playlist and we were on a boat on the Tyne!!

It wasn't foggy though.

Gingernaut · 12/07/2017 23:33

LalaLeona, it's the memories they evoke when they're hoisted from the archives.

They were playing on the radio at our first jobs, down the disco local nightclubs, they were the last tunes on the radio as we left for school, they were in the shops as we browsed the unsuitable clothes that gave our parents the horrors and as we shopped for glittery make up.

The tunes are cheese, but they bring back fond memories of our wasted and youth.

Gingernaut · 12/07/2017 23:44

wasted and youth.

Don't know where that stray and came from....

Choccywoccyhooha · 13/07/2017 02:37

Do you know what I loved?
Joey Lawrence (aka Joey Russo, Blossom's brother)'s single: Nothing My Love Can't Fix. I videoed the video off The Chart Show and watched it a zillion times.

I just looked him up. Woah! He is HOT!

TheWitchAndTrevor · 13/07/2017 07:02
