Precious

TOTP 28 MAY 1999

Posted on by 80stastic

Two days before this TOTP aired, Manchester United completed an historic treble when they dramatically came from behind to beat Bayern Munich at the death and win the Champions League to add to their Premier League title and FA Cup. It’s one of those sporting moments which everyone can remember where they were when it happened. For me, I had spent the day at work in the Our Price store in Altrincham which is only six or seven miles from Old Trafford. As such there were plenty of United fans in Altrincham (I worked with a couple) that day. The plan was to stay out after work, settle down in a pub and watch the game that way. What our group hadn’t banked on was how busy the pubs would be on the evening. We went into one place where it looked like the guys in there had staked their claims for their seats hours before and just stared down anyone who came in thinking that they had a chance of securing a decent spot. We left quickly. In the end, we resorted to our old faithful the Bricklayers Arms where we would often go for a post work drink. Inevitably, it was packed and they only had a small TV screen at the far end of the pub so it wasn’t the best vantage point. However, it was too late to find anywhere else so we stayed and watched the action as best we could.

For much of the match it seemed that United had stage fright and were blowing their chance of achieving the treble. Then came that finale. As the clock on the screen clicked past the 90 minutes mark and the score still 0-1 to Bayern, I recall saying to a United supporting colleague that it was all over. Three minutes later it was but with United with their hands on the big-eared trophy. It was truly gripping stuff. After the game, I got the tram home to Manchester which was full of celebrating reds wondering if my beloved Chelsea would ever be able to win the Champions League. Thirteen years later I would have my answer as we also beat Bayern Munich in dramatic style giving cause to doubt 1999 final commentator Clive Tyldesley’s remark that “nobody will ever win a European Cup final more dramatically than this”.

It seems like I might be back to a themed post so let’s get to it. First of all though, I should mention that this episode was quite historic, not for the music featured in it but its location. Filmed in Archaos nightclub in Glasgow, this was the first time ever a show was recorded outside of a studio environment and the first in over 30 years to be filmed outside London. Why? Well, Glasgow was the location of the BBC Music Live 1999 festival featuring over 100 events including performances from Ray Charles, Idlewild, Travis, and The Delgados. As part of the promotion for it, a nice little tie-in with TOTP saw the show shifted to Glasgow for one week only. As such, executive producer Chris Cowey seems to have squeezed as many Scottish acts as possible into the running order alongside Edinburgh born presenter Gail Porter. As for a link to the events at the Camp Nou, Barcelona two days prior, well, Glasgow is home to Celtic, the first ever British winners of the European Cup.

We start though with a performance back in London from the UK Eurovision entry Precious and their tune “Say It Again”. This was always going to happen as the song contest was held the day after this TOTP was broadcast (blimey, it was all happening this week in 1999 wasn’t it?) so the BBC was bound to plug our entry*. So how did we do? Not great, not great at all actually. Twelfth position with just 38 points received and to think we had won the thing just two years before and came second in 1998. These days, that sort of result would probably be seen as standard but it must have been a bit of a shock back then though I can’t recall the actual reaction at the time. As for Precious, they limped on for a couple more minor hits but their only album completely bombed and they split in 2000. Perhaps their biggest claim to fame is that one of their number – Jenny Frost – would go in to great chart success when she replaced Kerry Katona in Atomic Kitten.

*In fairness, they had gone straight into the Top Ten at No 6 as well.

Manchester United Treble link: Well, Gail Porter does say in her intro that Precious were hoping to do a Manchester United and become Eurovision champs and then mentions Alex Ferguson in her outro so there’s that.

It’s the first performance from Glasgow next and when I said Chris Cowey had squeezed as many Scottish acts as possibly the running order, I didn’t think he would have gone this far. What am I talking about? Well, Texas were there to perform their next single “Summer Son” but it wasn’t out in the shops until the 16th August! That’s nearly three months on from this TOTP! I’m sure it was viewed as a legitimate promotional opportunity by those involved but it didn’t help those poor saps working in record shops (i.e. me) who would be asked the following day for the new Texas single only to be told it’s not out for three months despite the fact that it was on TOTP the night before. Look, it was performed twice on the show when it was finally released so I’ll leave it until then to discuss the actual song.

We’re back in London next for a band with a hit single which sounds very familiar. Who is it that Sugar Ray and their song “Every Morning” reminds me of? Well, take your pick from any of this lot:

  • Smash Mouth
  • Fastball
  • OMC
  • Len

Catchy, breezy, summery – yes, it was all those things and it had a flamenco flavour to it which seemed so popular in the 90s after the Gypsy Kings had crossed over at the start of the decade.

Not quite a one hit wonder but close to it, Sugar Ray had formed in 1992 – yes, they were a band not a person as in the boxers Sugar Ray Robinson and Sugar Ray Leonard – as a funk metal outfit in the style of the Red Hot Chili Peppers but shifted to a more pop sound in 1997 with their single “Fly” which was a No 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart. They fully embraced that more mainstream sound on their third album “14:59” from which “Every Morning” was taken. The album went triple platinum in the US but failed to get any commercial foothold in the UK. Diminishing returns set in after that peak but the band are still together mainly playing live with their last album having been released in 2019. Ethan Hawke lookalike singer Mark McGrath would eke out a parallel TV game show host career but for some people Sugar Ray will always be that band from the Scooby Doo movie…

Manchester United Treble link: Author Simon Hughes, who has written biographies of Manchester United legends such as Tommy Taylor, Dennis Viollet, Jimmy Murphy, and Denis Law, also wrote a book about the boxer Sugar Ray Robinson.

Well, this is fortunate. A Scottish band who have a new entry in this week’s Top 40 and who are available to perform in this Glasgow based TOTP in support of the BBC Music Live 1999 festival. Having made the leap from post-Britpop indie rockers on the fringes of the chart to the mainstream of radio friendly pop/rock with their Top 20 hit “Writing To Reach You”, the next release for Travis would be an important one. At the very least it needed to consolidate on that breakthrough success and that’s exactly what “Driftwood” did when it became the band’s highest charting single to that point. A gentler, more acoustic sounding track than its predecessor, it showcased their melodic side with a lovely bridge part into the floating chorus. In some ways, it’s an almost semi-forgotten single compared to the what came after it but it helped to pave the way for next release “Why Does It Always Rain On Me?” which is surely one of their best known tunes. Global success was almost within reach and they didn’t need to write to anyone to get it.

Dagnabbit! Well, that just dills my pickle! Or something. It’s only Shania Twain again with a reshowing of her performance of “That Don’t Impress Me Much” from last week. Do I have to review this again? I made my feelings about it quite clear in the last post. I’ve told my Shania tribute act story before haven’t I? Yes, I’m sure I have. Erm…what about her fashion choices and specifically that leopard print all in one hoodie. What was all that about? Apparently, Shania loves leopard print. There’s even a video on YouTube which she made for Elle magazine in which she explains why leopard print is her neutral. How can that be?! How can leopard print be neutral?! It’s one of the most eye-catching/garish (delete as appropriate) things you could ever wear. To be fair, I didn’t watch the whole video – two minutes of Shania describing her ‘cowgirl’ fashion was more than enough – so maybe she does give a reason for that bizarre statement but I guess I’ll never know. I’ll live with(out) it.

Manchester United Treble link: United midfielder Roy Keane was famously suspended for the final (alongside Paul Scholes) so he missed out on all the drama and glory. However, how many of his team mates have a song about them to the tune of “That Don’t Impress Me Much”?

Now here’s a song that immediately takes me back to late Spring/early Summer 1999 when I hear it. It also has strong connotations with a certain American teen drama series but I’ll get to that later. Sixpence None The Richer formed in 1992 as a Christian alternative rock band (I never knew there was such a genre!) taking their name from a passage in a C.S. Lewis book. However, it wasn’t until 98/99 that they emerged from the closet (that’s a Narnia reference rather than any comment on their sexuality) into the pop mainstream with their worldwide hit “Kiss Me”. A rather lovely, jangly guitar piece, it was in a similar vein to “Stay (I Missed You)” by Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories from 1994 and the soundtrack to the film Reality Bites. Perhaps a bit more indie in nature though. Certainly the music press likened it to something that The Sundays might have recorded. Like Loeb’s hit, “Kiss Me” was also the theme tune to a film – teen rom com She’s All That starring Freddie Prinze Jr and Matthew Lillard who, coincidentally, were also in that aforementioned Scooby Doo movie that featured Sugar Ray.

However, it’s not that film which is its strongest association for me. That would be its inclusion on the soundtrack to the US teen drama Dawson’s Creek. Featuring some of the most overly earnest and verbose teenage characters ever seen on TV, this show used to be shown on a Sunday morning on Channel 4 as part of their T4 output and it was perfect ‘hangover programming’ for those of us who’d had one drink too many the night before. Some of my Our Price colleagues were well into this show and would play its soundtrack constantly in the shop. Perhaps by osmosis, I also got into it and actually went back recently to finish watching all five series (I stopped initially at two). Was it worth my time and effort to see whether Dawson or Pacey ended up with Joey? Probably not but at least it was a more satisfying ending than Lost. As for Sixpence None The Richer, they would have one more UK hit – a brave possibly foolhardy cover of “There She Goes” by The Las – before splitting in 2004 and subsequently reuniting three years later and were still gigging with the likes of 10,000 Maniacs as recently as 2023.

Manchester United Treble link: Sixpence None The Richer are known for having a “jangly” guitars sound – a high-frequency, treble-heavy tone characteristic of 90s college rock.

After three different boybands occupied the No 1 slot in recent weeks and with ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell unable to dislodge them from their throne, it was time for a different strategy from women in music. Instead of all girl groups, a new wave of female chart hopefuls arrived in the form of all girl bands who played their instruments. Now of course this wasn’t a completely new phenomenon. In the 70s we had South African band Clout of “Substitute” fame, whilst in America came The Runaways. Into the 80s, the same country also gave us The Go-Go’s and The Bangles whilst in dear old Blighty we had heavy rockers Girlschool. In the 90s, we had a rush of almost all girl indie bands like L7 and The Breeders but an out and out all girl mainstream rock/pop band? I’m struggling to think of many before Hepburn. Obviously named after Audrey, their debut hit “I Quit” wasn’t a cover of the old Bros track (thank God!) but a song co-written and produced by Phil Thornalley who’d been one of the people behind Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn”. Indeed, the ex-Neighbours actor had been offered “I Quit” but had declined to record it. I think she might have made the right decision as it’s not the strongest track. I mean yes, it’s got a rather shouty chorus hook but there’s not a lot else to it. The lyrics are a bit clunky (rhyming ‘liar’ with ‘messiah’ for example, or is that actually genius?) and the lead singers vocals aren’t the best (is that southern twang affected or natural?).

As with Sugar Ray and Sixpence None The Richer, there was a TV/film tie in with Hepburn as “I Quit” appeared on the soundtrack to Buffy the Vampire Slayer which starred Sarah Michelle Gellar (who also starred in the Scooby Doo movie).Apparently, the band were meant to appear in an episode of Buffy in the background of a scene but it never happened. Talking of Sixpence None The Richer, doesn’t the intro to “I Quit” sound a bit like “Kiss Me”? I don’t know why I’ve been trying to shoehorn connections to Manchester United into this post – there are plenty of other links all over this TOTP! In Hepburn’s wake came Thunderbugs (bizarrely, the follow up to “I Quit” was called “Bugs”) and 21st Century Girls but the whole scene was short lived with all three bands named above barely making it into the new millennium before collectively saying “I Quit”.

Manchester United Treble link: David Beckham’s wife Victoria has cited Audrey Hepburn as a favorite actress. Their former home – ‘Beckingham Palace’ – famously had a bathroom featuring walls covered entirely in photos of Audrey Hepburn.

The boyband-at-No 1 sequence has been broken by a record that was an underground club sensation and his since secured a near legendary reputation in the UK Garage scene. Despite working in a record shop at the time, I didn’t pick up on any of this and to me, it was just another dance hit by some anonymous producers. The names Steven Meade and Danny Langsman probably don’t mean much to those of us on the outside of the world of garage music but the monikers Shanks & Bigfoot probably do cut through. “Sweet Like Chocolate” was the track that assured their fame and legacy. Originally released just as a promo with a limited run of 1,000 copies in 1998, it was heavily promoted by KISS FM despite not having an official release. Its saturation rotation caused a record label bidding war for the rights to the track which was eventually won by Jive and when it was finally made available in the shops, it stormed to the top of the charts selling a quarter of a million copies in the first week and more than the rest of the Top 5 combined.

Thankfully we don’t get a forced studio appearance here with the usual staging conundrums associated with a dance act but the rather sweet animated video which added to the song’s appeal, perhaps picking up some sales from the younger end of the record buying public to boot. I could have done without the personal message from Shanks & Bigfoot themselves though. Why was it so successful? Don’t ask me. I didn’t dare go near the dance collections section of the Our Price I worked in so confusing were the myriad of genres. It was genuinely more challenging to me than shoplifters.

TOTP 12 FEB 1999

Posted on by 80stastic

With a couple of exceptions, the running order for this show looks uninspiring at best. Bloody awful would be another way of putting it. There’s no relief to be found in the presenter either as it’s Jamie Theakston. Again. Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to get on with it.

We kick off with…ooh…a bit of a milestone actually. This is the final hit (and therefore last TOTP appearance also) for M People. Eight years and nineteen singles on from their chart debut, it was the end of the road for Mike Pickering and his band of merry men (and woman). They exited in a considered and appropriate manner with a Best Of album and tour and a decent sized hit in “Dreaming”. Except it wasn’t really the end – the end of their run of chart hits certainly but the end of the band? Not quite. They went on hiatus as the new millennium dawned rather than split. However, it seemed to go on longer than expected due to Heather Small’s successful solo career. Then, in 2005 with a new Best Of collection out, they convened once more to do a small tour in support of it. More live dates followed in 2007 before another long break meant they weren’t seen again until 2012/13 when they toured to commemorate 20 years since the release of their Mercury Prize winning album “Elegant Slumming” though Pickering did not take part.

Back in 1999 though, here they were with yet another mid-paced, soul/pop tune that was pleasant but hardly captivating. In fact, whisper it, but I think their formula and sound was starting to get a little bit dull and repetitive by this point. Dare I say, they were all starting to sound the same? Maybe the band felt the same way as well and that was a factor in their decision to step back at that point. Anyway, thanks for everything Mike, Heather, Shovell and…erm…the other one.

What was it with the 90s and hits based on pieces of classical music? Look at this lot:

  • The Farm – “All Together Now” – Pachelbel’s Canon
  • Coolio – “C U When U Get There” – Pachelbel’s Canon
  • Sweetbox – “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” – Bach’s “Air On The G String”
  • Take That – “Never Forget” –
    Verdi’s “Tuba mirum” from the Requiem Mass
  • Puff Daddy – “I’ll Be Missing You” -Barber’s “Agnus Dei”

And that’s by no means an exhaustive list! Another one that could be added to it came courtesy of someone called A+. This guy is an American rapper (real name Andre Levins) and he was only 16 years old when this TOTP aired! He must be the oldest looking 16 year old ever! What does he look like now that he’s 44?! Talk about a tough paper round! Anyway, back in 1999, he brought us “Enjoy Yourself” which samples the 1976 Walter Murphy song “A Fifth Of Beethoven” which itself was adapted from the first movement of Beethoven’s Symphony No 5. Theakston seems unaware of the Walter Murphy track despite its presence on one of the best-selling soundtrack albums of all time with sales figures of over 40 million copies – Saturday Night Fever. Yes, although not a Bee Gees song, it was yet another example of source material taken from that film which had supplied so many hits around this period. Interestingly, “A Fifth Of Beethoven” wasn’t the only classical based track on the soundtrack – there was also “Night on Disco Mountain” which was essentially a disco reworking of Mussorgsky’s “Night On Bald Mountain”.

Anyway, enough about its classical origins, was “Enjoy Yourself” any good? Erm…well, it wasn’t terrible and it made good use of those dramatic strings with its coda especially enhanced by the final flourish. Having said all of that, I was never going to buy it. A+ stepped away from the music industry after just two albums in as many years at the end of the 90s citing family reasons and a desire to concentrate on raising his son. He has yet to return to the rap universe.

After a hit based on retro track called “A Fifth Of Beethoven” based on Beethoven’s Symphony No 5 comes another numerical leaning number – “Six” by Mansun from their “Eleven EP”. All these numbers were too much for the mathematically challenged Theakston who says in his intro that they’re driving him mad. Himbo. Anyway, I really liked Mansun’s debut album “Attack Of The Grey Lantern” but I very quickly lost sight of them after that. Why? I think it was that follow up album (also called “Six”) saw the band try out a more experimental sound with a collective commitment to coming up with a new guitar sound for every new riff. Lead singer Paul Draper would later describe the album as “commercial suicide”. Yeah, that’ll be why I lost interest. And yet, the track “Six” sounds like it could have been on “Attack Of The Grey Lantern”. There a reason for this – it was a left over from the sessions from that debut album when it was known as “More”. It’s a good track – atmospheric, slowly building but resoundingly engaging, mysterious but melodic. Maybe they should have led with that as the lead single from the album? Mansun would continue into the 2000s with the No 12 album “Little Kix” and a Top 10 hit “I Can Only Disappoint U” but by 2004’s “Kleptomania” and its chart peak of No 135 (!) the end of Mansun was nigh. Numerous retrospective releases have shown that the band are bothered about their legacy which was also the name of their 2006 Best Of album.

After one of the two exceptions I referred to in my opening to this post, were bank to the crud with..,who? Mirrorball? I’ve nothing down for this at all. Their track- “Given Up” – is based around the 1978 hit “Givin’ Up, Givin’ In” by The Three Degrees but that shouldn’t distract us from the real story to this one which is what the hell is going on in this performance?! Clearly the TOTP production team didn’t know what to do with it as it’s a very repetitive, beat driven dance track which might have been celebrated in a club setting but which doesn’t lend itself to a three minute performance on the BBC’s premier pop music show. The answer? Distract the viewer with some visual effects and some rather creepy stage setting. All the juddery, time lapse camera shots did for me was make me think that there was something wrong with my WiFi connection and that it was buffering although I accept that couldn’t have been any kind of issue when the show was originally broadcast in 1999. It still looks crap though. Then there’s the two blokes sat on a sofa to the side ogling the three performers on stage. It gives off a lap dance club vibe (I’m imagining!) especially when said performers start removing their top garments. The lead singer even goes and sits with them at the end of the song. It’s all very unsettling. Let’s move on…

Really? Another here today gone tomorrow dance track from some anonymous producer, fronted by a female singer under an artist name that meant nothing?! After Mirrorball, here’s Soulsearcher with a hit called “Can’t Get Enough”. Ok, it did spend four weeks inside the Top 40 (albeit descending the charts every time) so not quite the here today gone tomorrow hit I suggested but you get my drift. And yes, the vocalist here was Thea Austin who was the voice on and co-writer of Snap!’s “Rhythm Is A Dancer” so not completely anonymous either but let’s be fair, how many people remember this without any prompting? Not many I’m willing to wager as it’s a fairly underwhelming track which, also just like Mirrorball, has sampled a 70s dance tune, in this case the 1979 disco hit “Let’s Lovedance Tonight” by Gary’s Gang (which were nothing to do with Gary Glitter I should immediately point out). Why were the charts full of this sort of stuff around this time? Was it just bandwagon jumping? Was it the penetration of club culture into the mainstream? If this show is typical of how these 1999 TOTP repeats are going to play out, this might be the worst year of the whole decade.

My mood is not improving with the next hit which is “Boy You Knock Me Out” by Tatyana Ali. This was the sitcom star turned singer who was benefitting from an endorsement by Will Smith whom she starred with as Ashley Banks in The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. Indeed, Smith provides a video intro here for her performance and yes, almost inevitably, he turns up halfway through the track with a rap that he again delivers via video. It always just struck me as just too comfy and easy a relationship as if all Ali had to do was ask Smith and he would grant her the pop star career she wished for – essentially he was acting out his role as the genie in Aladdin 20 years before the film was released. As for the track itself, it was yet another song that used a sample and an interpolation in its structure (Kool And The Gang and Bobby Caldwell respectively) – wasn’t anyone writing original material back then?

Just like A+ earlier, Ali failed to progress beyond the 90s as a solo female singer releasing just one album under her own name though she has occasionally made available the odd recording down the years. She is currently a children’s author and is also involved in mentoring and advocacy working with various organisations focused on maternal, reproductive, and public health.

It’s the second of those exceptions to the dreary running order now and what a surprise it was! Eighteen years and two months since their last UK No 1, Blondie were back at the top of the charts! This was the then third longest gap between No 1s in chart history but those top two were achieved with rereleases of old hits by The Hollies and The Righteous Brothers not a brand new song. This was quite the achievement. Indeed, apart from a few remixes from their back catalogue, this was Blondie’s first visit to the UK Top 40 since their minor hit “Warchild” in 1982 which made No 39. In their pomp between 1978 and 1980 though, they’d had five No 1s over here – they were a phenomenon. Drug use issues, a resentment of power couple Debbie Harry/ Chris Stein by the other band members and a tail off in commercial fortunes had caused the group to split. In the intervening years, Harry had cared for Stein who had been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease of the skin and pursued a fitful solo career that seemed to have more troughs than peaks. Come 1997, with Stein’s health more stable, he and Harry sought to put the band together with original members Clem Burke, Jimmy Destri and Gary Valentine (Nigel Harrison and Frank Infante from the classic line up did not ultimately feature in the reunion). This was no nostalgia trip though – the plan was to record an album of new material which they did in “No Exit” which was trailed by the single “Maria”.

This was a good, solid, proper rock/pop record with a retro feel that stood head and shoulders above the rest of the chart pap. I mean, it wasn’t a “Heart Of Glass” or an “Atomic” but it was pretty good. Written by Destri recalling his Catholic school days, it was straightforward and uncomplicated but catchy as hell with hooks a plenty like that descending chime sequence and bouncing bass riffs. The album sold well enough going to No 3 over here and achieving gold sales status though subsequent singles released from it failed to have anywhere near the success of “Maria”, one of the most unexpected chart comebacks of the decade let alone 1999.

Despite having played this week’s No 1, the show isn’t over as TOTP was dragged into promoting this year’s selection process for the UK’s Eurovision Song Contest entry. Having already narrowed the hopefuls down from eight to four via a semi final stage played out on the Radio 2 shows Wake Up To Wogan and The Ken Bruce Show, it was the job of TOTP to feature one of the four finalists every week for a month leading up to the televised final of The Great British Song Contest on the 7th of March with the viewing public voting for its favourite. In a very tight competition with only just over 1000 votes separating the Top 3 acts, Precious were crowned the winners with their song “Say It Again”. Yes, the first act to be showcased on TOTP would be our entry which means we’ll have three further BBC repeats featuring artists who were doomed to fail and be consigned to the rubbish bin of pop history. This could be excruciating. As for Precious, the five piece all girl band had a pre-Atomic Kitten Jenny Frost in their ranks and a song that was pleasant but predictable sounding like anything Eternal, Honeyz or Solid HarmoniE might have released. How did they get on at Eurovision? Ah well, we’ll get to that in time.
