Chart Peak: 2
YouTube
I have this strange memory that either Hot or Juicy (can't remember which) phoned in for a competition on Mark & Lard's radio show a few years later. Before that, their calling card was the vocal on this dance hit, although it's since been reported they actually only sing the verses (complete with the in-no-way-dated lyric "I sent a message through the Internet but it rejected"), the chorus having been laid down earlier by American singer Inaya Day - the title supposedly indicating the presence of brass instruments. I presume it's the extra vocals that the '98 refers to.
Anyway, harmless as it is, this did sound quite annoying at the time. It's still obviously rubbish, but so many worse records have been made since, several of them by Mousse T, that it's gained a bit of a glow in nostalgia. Indeed, even this track got worse when it was combined with the unecessarily ubiquitous Dandy Warhols hit 'Bohemian Like You', a monstrosity that found its way to Now 64.
Mousse T also appears on: Now 46 (with Tom Jones), 59 (with Emma Langford), 64 (with the Dandy Warhols)
Available on: True 90s (3 CD Set)
