Kula Shaker Hey Dude, taken from the album K, from 1997 was todays Tedious Link. Fronted by posh toff Crispian Mills, they bagged a Best British Newcomer at the Brit Awards that year but followed it up with a contrived unpopular album in 1999. It didnt help matters that Crispian was a bit stupid with his mouth about Naziism. Crispian now fronts the band the Jeevas. Hey Dude was in fact their biggest selling hit and reached number 2 in 1996.

A Bit of Class. Its MC Hammer and U Cant Touch This. If youre under the age of 15 you might not remember this classic slab of popular rap. This got to number 3 in the UK Charts, although im sure you probably thought it went to Number 1. Taking a classic sample from Rick James Super Freak

M/A/R/R/S' lone single Pump Up the Volume remains a watershed in the history of sampling, heralding its gradual absorption from hip hop into dance music and ultimately the pop mainstream. The 1987 record was the brainchild of 4AD chief Ivo Watts-Russell, who assembled M/A/R/R/S' line-up from the ranks of label acts Colourbox and AR Kane.

Vanilla Ice Ice Ice Baby. Come on now, dont knock it, its a good tune. Taken from the hugely popular (at the time I must add) To The Extreme album from 1990. Ices career was a one hit wonder in the UK and his burnout culminated in making programmes for Granada Men & Motors at the end of the decade. Celebrity Boxing beckoned in the US and was soundly beaten by Willis from Diff'rent Strokes.
