  • Yeah, this is a classic no doubt about it but you wouldn't think it from this performance on TOTP.

    The problem is that these kinds of tracks never lent themselves to a performance on TOTP, or live anywhere for that matter. There are no vocals or vocalists (the sample doesn't count), and no instrumentalists. With neither vocalists nor instrumentalists, you need to work hard to make an engaging performance. There are 100s of other classic dance tracks that would've suffered the same fate.

  • @MrMikomi Yeah to be fair this is from a loooong time ago and we did ask to perform the track live with live scratching etc but TOTP were having none of it.. so we had to go down funky dancers/miming route and yes many 'dance acts' also fell into this TOTP trap :(

  • omg this is so lame.. whats the point of the lil mic on the black guy....... sad....

  • @TheFatCampCrew The black guy is Roger "Wildchild" McKenzie, the guy who wrote the track.

    Top Of The Pops wanted a "Live" performance from Roger but didn't cater for an actual live set hence the miming with the small Mic, just how it was those days really, unfortunately Roger died a month later.. now that's sad.

  • Yes that's correct.

  • reel 2 real is better than this and children by robert miles is a classic it might be 99 but i think its 2000

  • @dom123435 You're probably right mate, still sold enough copies to get to number 11 though, so can't be that bad eh ;)

  • No the turntables weren't connected, we asked for them to be plugged in so i could scratch over the top of the backing track but they weren't having any of it!

  • I don't like Cher's head

  • @dmitrilessy r u kidding?? fatboy slim mix is terrible! Stripped of all its raw house groove. original 4 life. RIP roger

  • @cutlaroc2 love the track. tragic death indeed, i heard he died inside a club? everything at some point would seem lame, fortunately, things are not always what they seem. this track is out of this world and the fatboy slim old skool version revoltionalized the way the human race perceive music as we know it. okay i might have exaggerated a bit but... if you know the song, you know what i mean. D for Damager, Power To The People. Back Once Again For The Renegade Master.

  • such a tune

    

  • Lee and Herring presenting T.O.T.P.!
