![]() “i was only temporary” by my head is empty &. “Tilted Tower Dance (Go Tilted)” by KeepUpRadio “Sleigh Bells (PhatCap! Trap Remix)” by Ronettes "We were at this huge three-day rave and I ended up partying, partying, partying. We went back to my house and Brendan Canning from Broken Social Scene was DJing and played More, More, More by Andrea True Connection. ![]() I ended up sampling it that morning and looped it, it sounded great. Somewhere in the next couple of days I recorded it, I know Deryck Whibley from Sum 41 was there in the room when I put down the lyrics. It's just a song about what happened that night of the party." How was the video made?ĭirected by Marc and Bradley Walsh, the shoot lasted one week, with a budget of $100,000 – most of which, Marc says, was spent on alcohol. Often drunk while filming the video, the band weren't allowed to ride proper motorbikes for many of the scenes, so were given scooters instead. Reading on mobile?

"One of the finer cinematic treats this year, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, had as its plotline the residents of South Park declaring war on Canada. The punchline being, of course, that Canada is far too benign a country to ever stir such warlike sentiments. However, after one spin of Steal My Sunshine, perhaps Kyle's mom has a point … Canada gave us Neil Young gave us Dan Aykroyd, John Candy and Rick Moranis gave us Kids In The Hall. Eh, what's that aboot?" wrote Stevie Chick for the NME in 1999. The single was No 1 in Canada, and at its peak was reportedly selling 16 thousand copies worldwide per week. You Can't Stop the Bum Rush went platinum in the US and sold approximately 2m copies. The song is held together with a simple, sugary-sweet chorus, but its raspy, rambling and drug-addled verses have more in common with hip-hop or metal than mainstream pop. What was the musical climate like when it was released? Now the funny glare to pay a gleaming tare in a staring under heatĪnd I'm not only among but I invite who I want to come My sticky paws were in to making straws out of big fat slurpy treats I was frying on the bench slide in the park across the street l-a-t-e-r that week Sharon's part, in particular, is bamboozling. In the summer of 1999, the airwaves were packed with white American guys with guitars – the New Radicals, Sugar Ray, Lit, Blink-182, Limp Bizkit and Offspring. The UK was experiencing an intense pop overhaul following the Britpop boom – 911, S-Club, Vengaboys and Westlife roamed the charts. Len's single straddled the gap between bro-rock and chart pop perfectly, but despite being released in 22 July, Steal My Sunshine was a sleeper hit and didn't enter the charts until the very un-summery week of 18 December. The rest of the Top 10, 18 December 1999:Ģ Artful Dodger featuring Craig David – Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta)ģ Vengaboys – Kiss (When The Sun Don't Shine)Ĥ William Orbit – Barber's Adagio for Stringsħ Progress Presents the Boy Wunda – Everybodyġ0 R Kelly – If I Could Turn Back The Hands of Time How did Len handle the fame? The track dropped to No 16 the following week, but it stuck around the top 20 for a further 13 weeks – creeping back up the charts, first to 15, then 12 and back into No 9 for two weeks. "The Len project was supposed to annoy people, but suddenly we were rock stars. It was really amazing, but fame freaks you out. When people used to come up to me in the street, I thought they were trying to fight me! But they just wanted to tell me how much they loved my song. ![]() We had a lot of fun, but it was like baking a cake and suddenly the whole world loving you for it." What happened to Len? I love the fact the money was great and there were a lot of girls, but to sit there afterwards and think – 'What next? How do you top that shit? I don't want to top it!' – that messes with your mind a little bit. The band spiked in popularity quickly, but knew they would plummet at some stage – after Steal My Sunshine. They went on to release Feelin' Alright in the UK, which features Poison's CC DeVille on lead guitar, but it didn't chart.
