#Pictures of color me badd now tv
I remember pretty much every TV advert shown during my ’90s childhood, but I can hardly ever remember what the exact product was that they were advertising. I will probably end up doing a whole post soon about how advertising doesn’t work in this respect. Um, googling was inconclusive, but it did tell me that it was definitely Fruit-Tella that did the ‘I’m Too Juicy’ takeoff of Right Said Fred’s I’m Too Sexy, so I’m fairly sure they must have done this one too). I think it was also popularised by the ‘Let’s Talk About Juice’ version in the Fruit-Tella advert (was it Fruit-Tella? Let me google that a minute. This was a favourite for kids in my class to sing loudly in my primary school playground in 1991, probably because it was risque and hence kind of rebellious in the thinking of a six-year-old. Track 10: Salt-N-Pepa – Let’s Talk About Sex Something about the vocal annoys me here. Love it.ĭreary vocals, boring backing track. Great instrumentals, wonderful atmosphere on the vocals, nice upbeat tempo, and that sax-into-piano solo is mega.
I know I said before that the ’80s are my favourite Simply Red era, but this is definitely my favourite individual song of theirs. Track 7: Simply Red – Something Got Me Started I’m a huge fan of OMD’s stuff, and this is a good solid track, even though it’s not quite as synthy as their earlier work. Track 6: Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark – Sailing On The Seven Seas This is a good example of a sample from a classic tune being used in a track that actually suits it. Sorry, Bono & Co.Īnother solid synth track from Erasure – gotta love that I Will Survive sampling. Track 4: Pet Shop Boys – Where The Streets Have No Name (I Can’t Take My Eyes Off You)Īnd speaking of U2…being a synthpop nut, I do actually prefer this cover to the original. Dull tune, repetitive vocals, no fun anymore. Vocals are a bit overblown here for my liking, but I do like the track, especially the rockier edge.

Track 2: Belinda Carlisle – Live Your Life Be Free There’s enough folky instrumentals here to make it quite different from the original – good stuff. Track 1: Vic Reeves and The Wonder Stuff – Dizzyīig Wonder Stuff fan – have seen them fairly often – so I really like this cover of the Tommy Roe classic that they did with Vic Reeves. I doubt any of the following tracks will be as pleasing as my pompom dress, but let’s have a listen anyway. My dress with the pompoms was super cute though…and I still have that scrunchie. Maybe my parents were always too distracted by TV adverts for Now! compilation releases to take any photos during those months?) It’s more timeless rocks, just like yesterday, for which I apologise. This is the way the world looked in November 1991 (actually October, so we’re in the wrong month with the photos for the fourth day in a row. Day 20’s Now! compilation was released on 18th November 1991.
