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?

So many good songs!

Not much has changed but they live underwater...

Serious face for a moment

But Edele (or is it Keavy?) from B*witched retrained to be a counsellor soeaviling in helping victims of rape and sexual assault.

She lived near where I used to and whenever I saw her I used to want to high 5 her for basically trying to make folks lives more bearable.

Can Gina G get a big shout out too? Classic Eurovision anthem. Total banger.

Mollie85 · 10/07/2017 21:15

Yep, this song was so bad it was bril! I was born in 81 so all these "delights" that have been mentioned were firm favourites of mine...

Myself and my friends thought we were quite "edgy, urban and street" (we're from Guernsey for the love of God -the place of cliff walks and ice cream cones) and so pretended to be the four from All Saints. Beanies, vest tops and cargo pants... cringe. Made mum drive me to the Army and Navy stores every Saturday to spend my £3 pocket money on "pleather" chokers with silver charms that made my neck go green...

I'm 36, but so very old... Grin
Also, how is it that I remember the lyrics to almost every song that was released between 1994 and 2006 but still have to do 8x9 on my fingers?

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 10/07/2017 21:15

”They were before my time I'm afraid.”

I'm not old, I'm not old, I'm not old. If I say it enough it will be true.

I have a picture of me & 3 friends, all in double denim, convinced we were just like B*witched

WhipMaWhop · 10/07/2017 21:15

Ha, I was dancing to this tune in a club only on Friday night! Great song!

OohMavis · 10/07/2017 21:15

Busted! Hahaha.

I used to try so hard to make sure everyone knew I was a proper grunger, and not a poser who liked Busted

I don't think anyone has mentioned steps yet

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 10/07/2017 21:17

Mollie You clearly (ahem) knew where it was at.

Surely the ketchup song deserves a mention?!

Soubriquet · 10/07/2017 21:17

I do love a good 90's cheese fest

1988 birth year here so definitely not that old

Rockhopper81 · 10/07/2017 21:17

Say what you want about B*Witched, Aqua, Vengaboys and all of them, but I WILL NOT have a word said against Steps!!

Ah, many a-night spent in the pub (I was 18 in 1999 - I've never felt old until I typed that...) seat-dancing along to the Steps routines...those were the days...

Sparklingbrook · 10/07/2017 21:17

Oh yes Steps. I always liked the 'Queen of Bitterness' Lisa Scott Lee, she had a spin off reality show 'Totally Scott Lee' and it was hysterical.

ememem84 · 10/07/2017 21:18

This is my contribution.

Oh stick you your mama too and your daddy

Daphne and celest. Classic. Saw them at reading festival. I threw a can at them. They warmed up for 50 cent I think it was.

Whosthemummynow · 10/07/2017 21:18

Gosh OP if you think that's rude don't listen to Crazy Town - butterfly..... Cum my lady... Cum Cum my lady 😂 😂

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 10/07/2017 21:18

Ketchup Song is Noughties trash. bangs gavel

GreeboIsACutePussPuss · 10/07/2017 21:19

Reastie my DD didn't believe me either, so I put on youtube, then she said 'whats hanky panky?'

Mollie85 · 10/07/2017 21:20

Keira - that actually made me "lol" as the youngsters (ahem) say...

I also bought the single from Woolworths of Billie's "honey to the B" and made my dad play it on repeat when he picked me up from my youth club on a Friday night.

Still a tune!! I had my hair cut like her too. Oh God

Reastie · 10/07/2017 21:20

Ememem I had forgotten all about daphne and Celeste. Who could forget 'you UGLY!'

NuffSaidSam · 10/07/2017 21:20

OMG Vanilla. I'd forgotten about that 'No way, No way mnamana'. That has to win the thread for most shite song ever.

TatianaLarina · 10/07/2017 21:20

Ahh the days before female popstars were lap dancers...
