Seemed so wrong now it seems so right

Although it wasn't as bad as that BUS STOP remix

That DISCO RAP era of 1994 or whenever it was really was the WORST
 
IT WAS A NIGHT THAT I WON'T FORGET
I HAVEN'T HAD ANOTHER ONE LIKE IT YET

Where's my rhyming couplets thread
 
What was the point in Clock? :D They ended up just a glorified wedding band, who seemingly knew their time was up SEVERAL SINGLES PRIOR but kept releasing cheap covers anyway to see if they could get away with it :D
And to be fair it worked - the amount of high-charting singles they racked up was quite shocking.

Was Everybody their only original song? It's the only one of theirs I would ever play by semi-choice, and mainly in a Poundland Cappella kind of way -

 
It adds nothing to the original. The rap is truly dreadful.

Clock were indeed utterly pointless. I'm an apologist for all kinds of 90s dance pop music, but I doubt I ever play anything of theirs. Even their couple of original tracks they released are weak and derivative.

01 Oh What A Night
03 It's Over
00 U Sexy Thing
-1 That's The Way I Like It

I refuse to rate the rest.
 
Compare it to Cappella that would largely be a solid run of 9s and 10s.
 
I have a fondness for it because me and my mate got into trying to make music on the Amiga and we had a tracker composer (come ome @Eileen) which had a demo with Axel F on at the same time that came out, it felt like we were close to a smash dance hit.
 
There was another band at the time who largely did the same thing, who was that?

I think I’ve actively blocked it all from memory. 1993 and 1994 had some fantastic dance and R&B but the chart pop music was the worst…
 
Wasn’t it also the era of Bitty McLean and all that dreadful pop reggae?

And I know she’s popular here but Whigfield

And all that German hard dance

I have a very love hate relationship with this era.

The most notable thing about Clock for me is that they're weirdly resistant to getting their music on streaming and were really quite rude to poor old @aquaplex

It does seem like music that is best listened to in the whole album format, vinyl preferably, so it makes complete sense
 
So I was WHISTLING this at home last night loud as you like for no reason other than FUCK YOU MOOPY, and this morning I could have sworn I heard a neighbour leaving the block singing it.

Forget Corona, the true deadly virus has now just left my building and is no doubt currently circulating around town, heading to a home near you SOON.

I just don’t know why I’d play this when I have the original. Sorry beb!

Britney Spears What GIF
 
Oh God Americans were spared this phase of European pap pop weren't they?

NEVER BEEN SO JEALOUS
 
The only Clock number I don't put on snooze:



I loved Oh What A Night at the time on my Now CD, just not actually now though.
