Tooth decay sweet, baggy/Madchester pop turned into low-slung groover by Andrew Weatherall. Is it 1991?
The original version of this track sounds like a Hypnotone Remix of a Screamadelica-influenced Flowered Up b-side with the kind of nursery rhyme gibberish that would make Sean Ryder a happy man in his dotage.
It also makes me think of the 'imagined bands' of Saint Etienne's Icerink label. I always assumed most of them were just Stanley and Wiggs letting loose in the studio and then thinking of a concept later - whether it was glorious dub minimalism or saccharine pop metal-lectro.
The baggy retro nature of this track makes it seem fitting to get Andrew Weatherall to go back in time and create one of his long, long low-slung dancefloor detonators. The ice cream van chime of the original melody and a snatch of vocal occasionally being spliced in.
