I'm listening to this song which was a massive hit in 1992 - I think it got to number 2. It is absolutely brilliant, one of my favourites and Tammy Wynette is great on it.

The video is great too!

One of my favourite ongs from the 90's.

Anyone else like this song?

All bound for Mu Mu land......

I actually like this song a lot - it's one of those tracks where you can have a bit of a dance, or can just as easily play it while you're driving somewhere in your car!

It's awful....i mean i appreciate that the KLF were a 'joke' act but this record was a shocker as were all their others. Actually, my favourite of their tunes was 'Doctoring The Tardis' as Timelords.....

I`m surprised that `'Doctoring The Tardis' hasn`t been released to cash in on the new Doctor Who show.

Me too...it would be such an obvious move.
Who knows, maybe the former memebers of KLF/Timelords are Digital Spy members

The story was that they got fed up of the music indistry so just left

BTW I prefer the 1st 12" releases of What Time Is Love, 3am Eternal & Transcentral - but I'm just a completist geek

Awesome song, so many great memories, the whole 'White room' album was the best!

Chill Out and What Time is Love? were their best efforts IMO

I suspect that the reason is that it is based on a Gary Glitter song and nobody wants to give him royalties. I can't see radio playing it either.

It's an excellent track but not as good as JAA with Tammy. I don't think thjat the KLF were a novelty band. A lot of there stuff was tremendous. Their version of what time is love with Glenn Hughes (ex Deep Purple) rocked.

I ended up buying a bootleg DVD to get the videos. FAB.

i'll second the chill out recommendation - not so much like their other stuff, but absolutely brilliant, as the title suggests, chill out album.

I appreciate it now more than I did when it was originally released. At the time I just thought that it was a really weird song!

I love The White Room - one of my all time favourite albums, and as said above, great for driving to!

I've got a VINYL album (kids you're dad will explain ) from HMV called SHAG TIMES

It had the Downtown remix and Whitney Joins The Jamms

Somewhere I've got a bootleg of their first album, the one they had to bury in a landfill because of copyright infringement

I'll have to dig (no pun intented) them out

Mu Mu Land is a bit further down the road from Moo Moo Land,

I don't where it is, the KLF were bound for there but I couldn't go (I was busy that day)

Bootleg copy !!! You beginners !!
Some of us have the real thing

Having said that though, bearing in mind the blatant sampling going on in the first album (Abba's Dancing Queen springs to mind) there is a certain twisted irony in owning a bootleg copy of it. For that sir, I salute you
