Bucky O’Hare

Let’s croak some toads!
Captain Bucky O’Hare was the early 90’s cartoon character who graced our screens with an intergalactic battle against space toads. Remember the psychic cat “Jenny” who could read minds through the purple jewel on her head or the mad eye duck who could shoot with four arms at a time.
For those of […]

Rednex - Cotton Eye Joe

Apologies to those of you who rightly assume that I’ve just been mining a rich vain of 1995 tracks. I actually got a “Dance Tip ‘95″ cd for christmas one year (1995 would seem logical). Cotton Eye Joe was one of the tracks on that very Dance Tip ‘95 CD.
I never really liked it, but […]

Freddie Mercury died before he could perform at the opening of the Barcelona Olympic Games but his favourite opera singer, Montserrat Caballe went onto perform a spine-tingling live version of the theme penned by Queen:

Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby

Vanilla Ice in hindsight seems laughably unfashionable, but I’m reasonably certain that at the time Ice Ice Baby came out and took the world by storm, the old V dog was pretty cool.
The baseline was stolen (out of court settlement apparently) from Queen’s “Under Pressure”, and apparently it might be questionable whether, er, Ice himself […]

Aqua - Barbie Girl

Barbie Girl by Aqua was a huge success, and despite the slightly silly words and light hearted look of the video, this is an incredibly catchy and was really a la mode at the time it came out in the mid-late 90s.
Even the mums and dads liked Barbie Girl. Dads particularly enjoyed the video on […]

The Cartoons - Witch Doctor

The year was 1998. A good vintage for Bordeux. A very good vintage musically, for this was the year the world woke up and realised they had ears: every single piece of recorded or live music they had heard up until the point The Cartoons released Witch Doctor would soon be akin to white noise.

Sctaman John - Scatman

Was it 1995? Or was it 1996? I really can’t remember. Who gives a Jacob’s cracker anyhow, if a Scatman can do it, so can you.


Where’s the Scatman?
Scatman John surprisingly didn’t seem to want to hang around for long. If memory serves, he only released one other (popular) single - […]

Eiffel 65 - Blue

What can I possibly say about the lyrical genious that is Eiffel 65 Blue. Not much. Just listen to it, enjoy the video, and remember what you were doing during the latter half of the 1990s!


I’m blue too!

Rugrats

Tommy, Chuckie, Phil and Lil battle it out with Angelica in the sandpit. My abiding memory of Rugrats is that everyone used to know how to play the theme tune on the piano. Angelica also got on my nerves. The babies talked in silly toddler speak with lots of missing teeth and spittal - getting […]

Trainspotting - Irvine Welsh

Trainspotting was incredibly famous for being really disgusting and nearly getting banned. You get to see Ewan McGregor’s tackle and a baby’s head spinning round like on the exorcist. It was like gold dust to young teens at the time - the most horrifying film available. My friend managed to one-up us all by reading […]

Some people chew it, some people smoke it, but no-one seems to sniff tobacco anymore.
In our local pub (very oldy worldy CAMRA type), there’s a rack by the door filled with little metal pots. They have funny flavours written in old school lettering on the lids. This is snuff and you won’t find many pubs […]

Ascot History

It was Queen Anne who first saw the potential for a racecourse at Ascot, which in those days was called East Cote. Whilst out riding in 1711, she came upon an area of open heath, not far from Windsor Castle, that looked an ideal place for “horses to gallop at full stretch.”
The first race meeting […]

The Queen’s involvement with racing stretches back to before she came to the throne in 1952, with her first winner, owned jointly with her mother, the late Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, being Monaveen in a National Hunt race at Fontwell.
On the death of her father, King George VI, the Queen inherited the Royal string […]
