For the most part, what I listened to in 1998 could best be described as “eclectic” and is best left in my music files for my own enjoyment when nobody is home. There’s rock, there’s rap, and there’s a bunch of hybridized stuff that sounds like a cross between rap, electronic stuff, house party music and other elements that I’ve long ceased to be able to identify. And a lot of it I had forgotten about, but while cleaning up house earlier today with YouTube set to “whatever”, this gem popped up. Where else but the end of the 1990s would you find a dance song with breakdancers and a demolition derby in the music video? It was the demolition derby part that got me hooked on the song!
The group is Freestylers, and they are a collective of DJs and producers from the U.K. that have been active since 1993. “Here We Go” was one of their more successful songs in the U.S., and it was probably due to the popularity of the video that helped with the sales figures…this was back in MTV’s “Total Request Live” era, and there were plenty of viewers who wanted to see two dirty, evil little kids in a Torino wagon threatening to drive straight through a jumping Chevrolet. The song might not be your jam, but the video is one of those rare gems that has to be shared simply because it exists. Check it out below!
Setting youtube “to whatever” just doesnt work for me. I could set it to the most random far out country music, and within 10 songs, it will somehow make it’s way to Free life films, 1320, or something of sorts. Stupid Youtube. It’s like it knows me.
