    Absolute and utter crap. If you know anyone in Britain who bought this,
    do them and us a favour and shoot them!
    
    Bring back Wet Wet Wet.

    The interesting thing about this, is that WWW sold 60% MORE last week
    than previous weeks and it still failed to retain the No.1 slot. It's
    very difficult to imagine that such high sales could be legitmately
    exceeded by such a *questionable???* single. I would have thought Kylie
    or LVD + Maria Carey could have pulled it off, but NOT Whigfield.
    
    You know the answer, go out and *mass-buy* the WWW single ;-)
    
    All I can say is, perhaps the people who were wishing for the Wets
    downfall now appreciate what a good record it actually was.
                                                    

    
    You wouldn`t have liked the Mark Radclif (sp?) show on Radio One last
    night then - he was quite enjoying the fact that WWW had been knocked of 
    the Number One spot - and was even happier that it had been by Whigfield !
    :)
    
    Plus of course there were all his usual comments about the Spin 
    Doctors ! :)
    
    Nick

    
    However I hasten to add he wasn`t implying in any way that the
    Whigfield song was good ! :)

    
    I think this is all part of the "Holiday Record" syndrome.  Remember the
    dodgy holidays abroad of your youth ?  Y'know, the one where you were
    so drunk that you actually thought that 'Tarzan Boy' by Baltimora was a
    great song ?  Remember how you rushed out to buy it when you got back
    home to remind yourself of how great a holiday you just had ?
    
    This Whigfield character is just 1994's answer to Baltimora, Opus (Life
    is Life nah nah nah nah-nah), etc.  One hit wonder, then back to
    selling carpets of whatever.
    
    Hopefully.

    This was one of 2 Wigfield singles that were out in Spain this summer..
    No Doubt her Follow up single to this will be "Another Day" Which
    sounds almost the same but without the Da Da Da De Do De Do bit...!!
    
    She comes from Denmark and not Britain as mentioned in the base note
    so we can safely call it Euro_Crap
                           
                    
    Steve.
    
    
    

    
    Re -1, 
    
    'not Britain as in the base note'  .......
    
    Nope ! .... have a re-read !,
    
    "Fortunately it's in Spanish with only an English chorous so at least 
    we are spared the trauma that it may be British , and not euro-cr*p."

    PS: Mark Radcliffe (sp?) show ..brilliant ! ...."Fancy a brew"
    and all that  :-}   ..was this on last night then ?...I tuned in 
    at 10 & got the Mercury awards :-{ 
    
     

    
    Have you heard the show recently - there was this item on the news
    about a week ago - about some supermarket selling beans for eight pence
    or something like that.... Ever since then he has been asking all his
    quests whether they have ever seen a tin being sold that cheap ! - they
    will be in the middle of a really serious conversation about something
    - and suddenly this question will be dropped in ! :)
    
    Also his sarcastic comments about the Spin-Doctors (and also William
    Shatners record (which he played last week)) are brilliant ! :)
    
    Nick.

    
    re .8
    
    Yes I'm a devotee of Mark,Mark and little Mark  :-} 
    
    The William Shatner track was pretty awful  ...the amusing 
    bit was that WS actually thought it was a real gem !...mind
    you compared to Whigfield I'm willing to think again !!
    
    Sandie../

    
    I was surprised to hear a song by Leonard Nimoy on that same show - it
    was quite fun to hear - but I won`t be adding it to my record
    collection ! :) - It was going on about how illogical everything is !:)
    - typical :)
    
    I heard that William Shatner released that album to try and change his
    image of being nothing but a star-ship captain - but that the first
    thing you hear on the album is the Enterprise shooting past - or the
    Star Trek theme tune... hmmmm - that is illogical ! :)
    
    Nick.
    
    p.s. I wonder what Mr Spock would say about Whigfield getting to the No
    1 spot !

    It must be the beer. I found the song strangely appealing on
    Saturday night; but then I was p*ssed out of my tree. Might have to go
    and buy it!
    
    Dave
    

    
    If you do buy it will you copy it for me - if I give you a tape ? ;)
    (otherwise I might have to buy it myself)....:)
    
    Nick.

    The deed is done; I have my very own copy of this in my anorak pocket
    (next to the well-thumbed copy of Puffins' Guide to Trainspotting).
    
    I heard the trance mix on the radio last night and that convinced me
    that I should buy it. It's less naueous than the radio version.
    
    Dave

    
    Re:-1
    
    And might I say Dave , that it's a very nice white anorak 
    .....with  long sleeves tied behind the back to keep your 
    little handies warm for winter no doubt ?!

        According to TOTP2 Whigfield is being sued by The Equals.  
        Apparently "Saturday Night" bears a very close resemblance to
        their 1969 hit "Rub A Dub Dub". 
        
        I guess there must be a very large sum of money involved for
        them to admit to this.
        
        Ian.

    "Rub a Dub Dub" eh? Sounds like a musical masterpiece doesn't it. I
    always thought that was cockernee rhyming slang for "off down the pub"?
    Well I s'pose they will be if they prove their case in court.
    
    I wonder if they have a natty little dance we can do that as well.
    
    Andy

    
    Anyone heard the new Whigfield ditty?
    
    Sounds like she's been inhaling quite a lot of helium, and reminds me
    quite a bit of Summertime by Mungo Jerry! Same sort of melody to the
    lyrics (if that makes sense!).
    
    Maybe she ought to get a season ticket for the court?
    
    Steve.
    

    You are joking. She hasn't released another @!#$@!# single has she?
    Dear God, no.
    
    8-(     

    Parts of the Whigfield song reminded me very much of an old song, but I
    can't remember what it's called. I don't think it's the same one as the
    one she's being sued about. So maybe she, or the people behind her,
    plagiarised several songs.
    
    
    Rod

    I wouldn't admit to Whigfield having plagiarised one of my songs.
    Oh the shame would be too much to bear.
    
    Jane.

    The new single sounds just like the last one. Utter guff.
