Heard this in a taxi today.

It's been copied about a million g'zillion times. Because its a fantastic tune.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IVPAE0sPH0

I remember it being a lot better though for some reason

You'll be posting some Urban Cookie Collective next. ;)

Although i did love that tune. And Urban Cookie Collective!

With KWS being one of those that copied it - KC & The Sunshine Band did the original. Even worse, it wasn't even an original cover version of the original, it's pretty much an exact copy of the Double You cover.

No

I feel as though this thread did not start well

Allow me to redeem myself:

The 90's were fucking great.

Lots of happy memories.

Ta. I would have done Ride on Time if you hadn't got in first. Love that track - some very messy memories!

Is that her? Oh beejaysus is it innit.

the misses is sleeping right now, good call Jonathon

Leather, short shorts and a school uniform. What more could a teenage boy want?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TByqESZekxc

Hmmm, I never dressed like that when I was a teenage boy but whatever floats your boat I guess

A quality tune from the nineties.

Brings back memories of New york New york (the night club in theatre square), Bristol City and Poxford away and of course Sunderland at Wembley.

Absolute top fucking quality this one.
All this 90's stuff has got me wondering, what was the best Night club in Swindon during this era?

Close call between Cairos and New York New York, although Pascha's was always good for a really rough end to the night!

Absolute all time favourite tune!

What about this little blinder:

Level 3.

New York New York was only good on a Thursday, empty at the weekend. Cairo's had its moments but was never that good. Hardings and Route 66 had some decent periods as well.

Ah, and the loverly Gillian on keyboards, do like a bit of JD/New Order

http://tinyurl.com/dz7lr9

Thank fuck for that. The last couple of pages have restored my faith in the forum. Some of the earlier stuff made me quietly ashamed. The fucking Venga Boys FFS! What were you thinking?

Good memories - reminds me of when I saw them at the Reading festival in 98, bit of a treat because they did World In Motion (very rare live). I remember Keith Allen at the start saying "Chris Evans is a fucking ginger cunt"......for some reason......other than Chris Evans being a fuc......

Ceremony was the first song I (nearly) learnt on the guitar by choice.


"Chris Evans is still a ginger cunt" (Allen)
"no he isn't" (Barney)
"he fucking is" (Allen)

Remember it well, I have the concert on bootleg somewhere. NO were supposed to be headlining the Pheonix Festival that year but it collapsed so had to joint headline with Garbage at Reading. I watched them then fucked off before Garbage started playing!

Saw new order at glastonbury in 1987.  I think the live shots in true faith video were filmed on the night as I can certainly remember a camera next to barney.

Also saw them a couple of years later (90?) at Reading.

This goes to prove nothing apart from the fact that I am old.

this thread saddens me.

fantastic contribution to the thread lumps.

All it takes is to paste a you tube url of your choice.

Sacrcasm aside, I am rather confident that this thread is not wasted upon yourself.

I love this tune yet hated the whitey's whom where "jumping around". I still love to hate those wannabee's and a little nit of me was a wannabbee

This thread's started to lose it's original late 80's, early 90's, fun, cheese-fest direction. It was an ace thread, but it's just too serious now. :)

Not really my sort of thing, but fek me the memories! This was played and played and played and played, everywhere you went. Plus Lisa Stansfield was stunning. I was in love with her - probably still am a little bit. Couldn't believe it when I first heard her talk with that strong Rochdale accent;

I remember thinking she was a dog then, and saw that and could see why. However, i did see her a few years ago and you most definitely would. Repeatedly.

I think this fits in with the intended theme;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KztNIg4cvE

Black Eyed Peas during their near credible years, pre-pop and pre-woman who pisses herself on stage. Late 90's ahoy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDYcRVE4WSA

Whaaaaaaaaaaat!!! A DOG?! Unbelievably harsh. You can see but you are blind  ;) No, different tastes an' all that.

That smile.....those teeth.....the smoky eyes...... I can only assume that you look like George Clooney with standards THAT high.

You're right about her ageing very well though.

Classic British country music from the early 90's....

I went to an 18th birthday party tonight, the DJ played nearly every song in the first 10 pages of this thread.

I give you...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5lm9nwHR9c

What synth was it, a Korg Electribe? Can't think of many other synths we sold many of in the shop. The few people that bought stuff on Hope all swore blind it was the best thing since sliced bread, never got it myself though.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9cci8iWv-g&feature=av2e

Yeah, an Electribe. Still boxed up somewhere after I moved! Hope is/was the best (sometimes). Although Nick Warren became head of a&r and it certainly improved. I've still got treasured tunes you recommended to me and one classic I somehow stumbled across in it's final days - Way out West - Mind Circus.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you:
