You can see why I was starting to get tired of the Latin music, can't you? For one week the Top 3 was this, 'Mambo No 5' and 'Mi Chico Latino'. This Shaft are not the same ones who did that novelty version of 'Roobarb & Custard' in 1991, but the difference isn't vast: it's still a sample-based track fitting in with a current trend. This Shaft were also Da Muttz, who did a 'Wassup' cash in...
The sample in this instance was from Rosemary Clooney's version of 'Sway', initially a UK hit for Dean Martin, although for legal reasons the released single uses a soundalike vocal. Either way, it's treated in the typical way of the time, looped in the usual way, treated with the usual effects and so on and so forth. It turns out better than many of these things do, which I'd attribute to the source material: it's good and was of course always intended for dancing, but it's not so unimpeachable that you can really object to it being played about with. Still not exactly my scene though.
