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?

I remember going out once. Spice/space buns, blue eyeshadow, blue lipstick, shitty wee choker, pink (??) vest top with a diamante dragon (no bra) and a pair of purple trousers with a skirt over the top

This all sounds very "Babylon Zoo" to me

"Spaceman
I always wanted you to go into space, maaaaaan"

I remember standing on the wall in Primary School singing "Boom Boom Boom, let me hear you say Wheyo (wheyo!)" Blush

Glitter hair spray to go with your glitter body spray & a glitter roll on for top ups while out Grin Blush

I had a silveryblue lipstick that turned pink in the heat. So it basically made me look like I had a heart condition. And I remember going to a school disco with my hair in butterfly clips with a white trouser/skirt combo I'd borrowed from my mum's friends older daughter... And a brown plastic choker (the ones that are 'cool' again now) I felt amazing! I bet I looked like a total clown.

ghostyslovesheets · 10/07/2017 21:38

class!

MyPatronusIsAUnicorn · 10/07/2017 21:38

Ok, since it has been brought up, I've always wanted to know, wtf is the chimney on her thing actually about?! Confused It's always baffled me.

PantPlot · 10/07/2017 21:39

I loved Babylon Zoo 'Spaceman'. Before it was released it was used on an advert for silver jeans (remember them?)

EccentricPickle · 10/07/2017 21:39

Massive platform shoes a la Spice Girls. They were hideous but bloody comfy - could dance all night and not need to sit down!!

yellowfrontdoor · 10/07/2017 21:39

Oh god what was that song 'I'll bring you flowers in the pouring rain, living without you is driving me insaaaane'

I played it so much I think I drove my mum insane.

Love a bit of B*Witched! Think I'll go and hold up a lighter to 'Blame it on the Weatherman'.
She puts her Tiffany bracelet in a river (or summat) in the video. I had that exact Tiffany bracelet. A real one too, not from the market!

I've just remembered that someone I work with broke their arm dancing to C'est la Vie at the Xmas party last year 😅😅

Flowers was by sweet female attitude

Op you are VVVV unreasonable!
I love this thread :D tunes of my childhood. DH is going to hate me this evening Grin

Ollivander84 · 10/07/2017 21:40

I remember my friend dancing to Kung fu fighting and her shoe flying off and hitting someone in the head. That was an interesting night Grin

Sweet Female Attitude

Shit name
Banging tune

squoosh · 10/07/2017 21:40

I think a chimney was a black eye

MyPatronusIsAUnicorn · 10/07/2017 21:40

"I remember standing on the wall in Primary School singing "Boom Boom Boom, let me hear you say Wheyo (wheyo!)"

Um, I actually have this on my ipod Blush. And Lets get Ready to Rhumble but I'm not ashamed of that, that is a tune! Even got the DCs on that and it was played at my wedding.

Mollie85 · 10/07/2017 21:40

A "chimney" - black eye. It was a verbal threat. Stay away from my man, else you'll get a whack...

I only read that years later

fourinabedfan · 10/07/2017 21:41

I still have a tattoo choker with matching bracelet and ring. I'm going to take photos of them tomorrow to post here.

PantPlot · 10/07/2017 21:41

All of my trousers were low rise (we're talking two and a half inches from mons venus to waistband) and had fly buttons instead of zips

EccentricPickle · 10/07/2017 21:41

Don't Call Me Baby by Madison Avenue.

I used to love Sonique on a night out! It always used to play in the bars (yes, I was underage).

Was it squoosh?! That literally makes no sense Grin.

Remember Hypercolor tops, NafNaf/Naff jackets, McKenzie jumpers and Joe Bloggs jeans?
