CD SINGLE Sunday!!
INNER CIRCLE - SWEAT
I gave this single to my younger brother for Christmas once - along with a pop ball. You know the balls that look like a rubber ball cut in half, you flip them inside out and they pop up and flip the right way? Toys were sophisticated in my day. In the true spirit of Indian giving though (is that considered racist?) I reacquired the single a few years ago. Singles used to be $10 or more so your purchase was carefully considered into several categories of motivation.
1 - You love the band so much you must own everything by them
2 - the single has songs you wouldn't otherwise get on an album - remember this is the time before i-tunes and file sharing
3 - the song is considered a one hit wonder so the single is the best option
4 - the album is an extra $20 and worth buying
Inner Circle falls comfortably into category 3, with no compelling follow up I can think of. We used to make up our own words:
Girl I’m gonna make you poo
Poo till you cant poo no more
And if you cry, you need to push it some more - or - or…
Lyrics too, were sophisticated in my day. This song used to be recognised by 'la la la la la long'.
While of course there wasn't a separate follow up of note, this single is unique in that you got the 'Bad Boys' original mix - the theme song for the show COPS - CLASSIC!
