yes the record label it was on was called KLF
'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! |

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... |

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.

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