To ask people who were kids in the UK during the 90s a question?

[plodalong12]

Did anyone else's school used to play this song at their school disco? I was 9 when this came out and remember dancing it to with everyone else, complete with hip thrusting actions

I randomly remembered this and mentioned it to a friend yesterday (same age, different school) who was shocked and questioned what kind of effed-up school I went to. Did I!? Or was this an often played song at yours too!?

Do not remember school discos but definitely remember this song around that time lol

Haha, I knew before even clicking on the link what song this was going to be 😂

Yes, I vaguely remember being in primary school and this being played at one of the discos. The teachers were all standing wide eyed and mouths open while a bunch of small children thrust their hips to this song. It was never played again.

Yes standard school disco song

I had no idea how dodgy "Boom Boom Boom (Wayo)" was until I revisited it for this thread just now! Vivid memories of dancing to that at a disco birthday aged 4 and winning some colouring pencils for my efforts!

See also Barbie Girl- which was the first tape I ever bought myself aged 7 - and 2 become 1. How on earth it took me years to clock the lyrics when I clocked "do it like they do on the discovery channel" pretty quick I'll never know! Venga Boys - Boom Boom, the bitch next door at boarding school had it as her alarm tune. 7am sharp 6 days a week. I hate both it and her.

@CoffeeWithCheese - that's hilarious. I visited ex BF on an academic summer placement in France in 2010, stayed in uni halls. The guy next door liked The Offspring and had a strong accent. We used to hear "geeve eet to me bebe... and all ze girls say
.ahm pretty fly for ze white guy".

Our seniors did

@MotionActivatedDog

Also strong memories of singing about a woman with a chimney on her

Crikey yes. That song was everywhere

I was at primary school in the 90s, we definitely used to have a giggle at the words "sex on the beach"

Our school didn't really have 'discos' but I remember that song being played all over the radio for weeks, so it was definitely 'mainstream'.

It was banned in our school. I remember us singing and dancing to it on the playground and a teacher asking us did we really know what we were saying.

Every disco everywhere. School. Weddings. Christenings. Birthdays. Anniversaries. Etc etc

Oh god yeah!

the white guy doing the Caribbean accent at the very beginning

I don’t know who that guy was but there are white people from the Caribbean!

I imagine sand being a problem.

Sex on the beach was quite the fantasy of mine. Reader, I had not thought it through.

I think we need to have a MN 90’s cheese disco when restrictions are all lifted

@riotlady

Yep! And the horny horny horny one.

Does anyone remember the one that was like

At half past one we were having lots of fun
Singing ooh my baby, diddy dum, diddy doo
At half past two he was taking off my shoes
Ooh my baby, diddy dum, diddy doo

Etc.

OMG - I remember that one - we said something like that on school bus circa 2005 aged 13/14 ...

Ours was -

one by one, the fun has just begun
two by two, he’s taking off my shoes
three by three, he’s got me on my knees
four by four, he’s got me on the floor
five by five - can’t remember (possibly shagged me alive?!)
six by six - can’t remember (something that ended with tricks)
Seven by seven - he’s taking me to heaven
Eight - dr at the gate
Nine - twins are doing fine
Ten - do it all again ....

Either we shouted that or played DJ Cammy/DJ Rankin (horrendous squeaky music) on mobile phones ... we thought we were cool at the time .

I remember horny/honey as well ...

Yes. Allegedly it was about the cocktail!
I always though Benga Boys sang this - completely wrong!

Haha yes here too! I didn’t quite know what to do a few years ago when, DD’s church school disco, they played Timber

‘Face down booty up’ sang the 7 year olds.

Hahaha yes, and Tom Jones - Sex Bomb. Imagine that now! My boyfriend at the time (very serious, we were both 8) dedicated that to me at the school disco. My mum was helping with refreshments and wasn't best pleased!

@CaffiSaliMali

It was a primary school disco classic in the late 90s - I remember dancing to it at my year 5 school disco and at my year 6 leavers disco.

They also played 2 become 1 by the spice girls and that 'I'm horny, horny, horny, horny tonight' one. And the Vengabuoys 'boom boom boom boom, I want you in my room' one. Aqua's Barbie Girl too 'you can brush my hair, undress me everywhere'. And Gina G of course. Oh and 'I believe in miracles, where'd you come from, you sexy thing'.

I miss the 90s, those discos were great. We used to wear a glittery dress with a feather boa, a load of that body glitter on our faces and arms, blue mascara my friend 'borrowed' from her mum, a pale frosty lipstick I got free with Sugar, Bliss or Mizz magazines and hair mascara with those little butterfly clips.

Then the school served orange and blackcurrant squash which was barely diluted with water, accompanied by foamy banana sweets with those teeth shaped chewy sweets which came in a jumbo sized tub.

I used to get a fiver from my mum about 2004 when she worked in a nursing home, was allowed to walk to the shop to get a sweet and sugar/bliss magazine . They were an education and a half; I was a very naive catholic teenager - I still remember an article that suggested teenager girls should always carry a packet of chewing gum, a condom, a tampon and a £2 coin .... used to rub the magazines on my wrist as I wasn’t allowed proper perfume (just So Kiss Me or boots natural collection stuff) ...

My mum promptly took Sugar off me after finding a page with a diagram of a vulva - goodness knows what harm she thought that would do .

Previous to that I was an avid subscriber to S Club Style - which came with free ‘make up’ and tat. Including tattoo stampers that I actually wore to school ...

I miss being that age hugely; going to town was a huge event - Internationalle, Claire’s, Tammy ... used to get lots of body glitters from Boots glitter babes .

I will always remember DS primary leaving disco, around 2000 seeing one of his classmates dominate the hall, snake hips gyrating around, full on busting moves to Hot Stuff and Sexy Thing.
Put the original Errol in the shade.
The kid could dance!

This was literally a stands kids disco song when I was 10! Id totally forgotten about it!!

*standard!!

Yes!!

Fond memories...

They were a bit later than the 90s, early 00s but I used to rap along to the Ying yang twins. Don’t think my mum was too impressed with ‘to the window, to the wall, till the sweat drop down my BALLLLLS’
Also the Whisper song which was just pure filth
