Released 20 years ago in September 1998, this single by Dodgy reached number 32 in the UK charts, and turned out to be the last song the classic line-up would release for almost a decade. 60s pop flavours and ominous vibes lead into a bright singalong chorus on this track, which doesn't suggest a band in crisis, but in reality 1998 was not a happy time for Dodgy.
Having risen as one of Britpop's best-known band's in the mid 90s, the trio were rising high in the charts during 1996 and 1997 with the hit singles from their album Free Peace Sweet. However, just a year later the group and frontman Nigel Clark announced that they were parting ways, and that this would be their final single together. It was released as part of the best of compilation Ace As And Killer Bs. Mathew Priest and Andy Miller would recruit a few new members and continue under the Dodgy name for a disastrous album, before bringing the band to an end in the early 2000s. Later that decade the original line-up reunited and began touring again. They have since produced two brilliant albums, and are currently writing material for their sixth studio LP.
