funky's journey through the 90s (again, again)

[Ellie]

The first time I heard Emotions was on Des O’Connor. I was FLOORED

 

[Sheena]

I hated The Commitments on principle, but I can't remember what that was any more. Most likely because everybody else liked it

YES! Me too! Mustang FUCKING Sally on straight pub jukeboxes ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

I saw PM Dawn live supporting Deee-lite.

WHAT A NIGHT!

 

[Joseph]

Same with Cool As Ice featuring QUEEN MOTHER NAOMI CAMPBELL

She also a stunner in the video

 

[VoR]

I must confess I’m still not entirely sure what The Commitments WAS

I know there was a film, which I’ve never seen. And they released a few covers of pub rock ‘classics’.

Was it a real band? Or just a fake biopic with a successful soundtrack? I’ve always assumed the latter because whatever it was, was evidently quite short lived.

It was a Roddy Doyle novel and then a film about a group of friends who formed a soul covers band. The soundtrack was very successful but it was never meant to have a follow up because the band weren’t really professionals in the story.

Niamh Kavanagh did some of the vocals, so it’s technically Eurovision adjacent.

 

[funky]

It’s a GREAT film.

[STRAIGHT OLD MAN FUNKY]

It’s a GREAT film.
