Remember the 90s?

Keith Flint's nan used to live down my road, so met him a few times. Also Liam Howlett used to frequent the pub I worked in at the time, both him and his other half were really nice people :)

 

If we're talking raves, we've got to mention Exodus. But only with the original crew, got full of muppets late on.

 

 

Also...

 

 

Snow! Spent a whole evening once with a mate trying to figure out the lyrics, with comedic results.

Did you go to any of the Exodus raves?? Great reputation but kept it all down South. There was enough going on in the North to occupy us Northern boys!

What a great topic, nothing like reliving your youth!

 

Gladiators was religiously watched and remember seeing Jet and Lightening at a few bike shows! My mate is married to a girl who was one of the champions and knew Phil Norman, also a champion.

 

A couple of my best mates were top dj's but never really got into the scene although did go to a few of their sets :)

 

Bizarrely enough on Friday i spotted an old school retro Bmx whilst out at my sprayers, a Diamond Back, made some enquiries and bought it cheap, just trying to identify it but think its a silver streak or hopefully a turbo, worth a mint done up so thats the plan :) but will keep hold of it!

 

I used to while away hours playing Jet Set Willy on the Spectrum 64 and Donkey Kong on an Atari!

To think how quickly and easily this can be done now. It's not even a challenge anymore :(

 

The internet also killed taping songs off the Top 40 and trying desperately to get as much as possible before the Radio 1 drone opened his big mouth :lol: 79p off iTunes now - simples.

 

 

[CHORUS:]

Informer

You know say Daddy Snow me, I'm gonna blame

A licky boom-boom down

'Tective man says Daddy Snow stabbed someone down the lane

A licky boom-boom down

Informer

You know say Daddy Snow me, I'm gonna blame

A licky boom-boom down

'Tective man says Daddy Snow stabbed someone down the lane

A licky boom-boom down

 

Police-a them-a they come and-a they blow down me door

One him come crawl through through my window

So they put me in the back of the car at the station

From that point on I reach my destination

Now the destination reached was the East Detention

Where they whipped down my pants and looked up my bottom

 

[CHORUS]

 

The bigger they are they think they have more power

They're on the phone me say that on hour

Me for want to use it once to call my lover

Lover who I'm gonna call is the one Tammy

I love her from my heart down to my belly

Yes Daddy Snow, I'm the coolest daddy

The one MC Shan and the one that is Snow

Together we are like a tornado

 

[CHORUS]

 

Listen for me ya better listen for me now

Listen for me ya better listen for me now

When I rock the microphone, I rock it steady

Yes sir Daddy Snow me are the Article Don

When I'm at a dance they say, "Where you come from?"

People then say I come from Jamaica

But I'm born and raised in the ghetto

That's all I want you to know

Pure black people man that's all I man know

My shoes used to tear up and my toes used to show

Where I'm born is the one Toronto, so

 

[CHORUS]

 

Come with a nice young lady

Intelligent, yes she's gentle and irie

Everywhere I go I've never left here at all

Yes, me Snow roam the dance

Roam the dance in every nation

You'd never know, me Daddy Snow

I am the Boom Shakata

I'll never lay down flat in one cardboard box

Yes, me Daddy Snow I'm gonna reach to the top, so

 

[CHORUS]

 

Why would he? [repeat]

 

Me sitting round cool with my dibby dibby girl

Police knock my door, lick up my pal

Rough me up and I can't do a thing

Pick up my line when my telephone ring

Take me to the station, black up my hands

Trail me down 'cause I'm hanging with the Snowman

What am I gonna do, I'm black and I'm trapped

Smack me in my face, took all of my gap

They have no clues and they wanna get warmer

But Shan won't turn informer

 

[CHORUS]

 

I never would've worked it out :lol:
