no iam serious

gotta be ... the timelords 'dr in the tardis'

The KLF under a different name wasn't it?

Cheeky Girls - The Cheeky Song I actually have their cd hanging around somewhere

yes the record label it was on was called KLF

was it? i didnt realise that, but yes the timelords were caulty/drummond aka the klf, pop/rock dance fusion act creating some of the most influencial music of their period (88-92) and godfathers of 'trance' , apparently.

'dr in the tardis' was brilliant on so many levels, cleverly using samples of gary glitters rock n roll parts 1 and 2, and sweets 'ballroom blitz'. add in abit of contemporary humour (loadsamoney referance) and more p taking with the 'house' scene, dr who and yob culture and this gem was born!

Cheers.

I actually think MMMBop by Hanson is a really good song. I love it and refuse to wipe it from my iPod. I also liked C'est La Vie from B*Witched, if you can call it novelty.

And a lot of Spice Girls...

i've loved a couple of the world cup ones:

skinner and baddiel: 3 lions on a shirt

and the other one with john barnes doing is rap in it.

also liked Vindaloo

Tune!

Doctorin' the Tardis was a song by KLF released under another name so although it was a novelty record it has a large cult following (as stated above )

Russ Abbott's Atmosphere & Claire & Friends' Orrible Being In Love spring to mind. Don't see what the stigma attached to them and others of their ilk are - 'proper' songs with 'proper' music & lyrics; now, The Birdie Song, Black Lace and all that poo I can quite understand rancour towards.

love all of those

Remember You're A Womble!!!!

Yeah Atmosphere was a top tune as was Russ's follow up All Night Holiday. Make the point about Black Lace being crap, best example of a good novety song with dodgy words is Shaddap You Face IMO even if it did keep Vienna off No.1

Ahh bring back memories!

Well it did lift a lyric from The Sugarhill Gang's Rappers' Delight.

Well, Hanson were an established band way before and for long after Mmbop, so you might like some more of their stuff.

Mmmbop was actually a refrain from one of their earlier tracks.

I don't think I could live with the shame of having more than one Hanson track on my iPod lol

My wife's a big fan and has 3/4's of their back catalogue on her iPod. Mmmbop was a piece of annoying crud, but some of their stuff is actually alright.

Mike Batt wrote great tunes. check out Tarot Suite

This, obviously
