Moogy's Complaint


First of all, the title.  It goes back to when I was writing PopKornTekno,
and one of me mates Moogy (AKA Moggs, really Muriel) really liked the 
voice/dialogue element that featured in the early version of that mod,
which I removed from the finished version(s)

So she...  compained...

So my next dance-tastic mod, I said, would have talking in it.

The talking in question was sampled from a late-night music review
program, which interviewed little-known at the time (except to me and
some mates) dance/techno musician called Moby.
Moby is currently quite in the limelight with many high-profile tracks,
and is quite sensible, but back then was.... off his head... ;)

The interview consisted mainly of him saying weird stuff, and by
strange camera-work, hovering about a foot off the ground and floating
about, hence the sample "Let me show you how to flyyyyyy!!!"

Stuff not in the mod that was in the interview included him describing
the noise that the local kids/drugs dealers make with their 
motor-scooters: "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooooooowwwwwww"

!

Anyway, the mod also features a short singing sample, which actually
me taking the piss out of all the dance songs of the time which were
singing about "Moving on up" and "Take me higher"  None of them 
actually stated where they were going up to, so neither did I, I just
assumed they were going to some "higher place" ;)  Well, I thought it
was funny at the time..

The singer in *this* version of the mod is an old flatmate of mine
from my London days, Rhody (Turner I think) and she was a sweet 
australian chick, with quite a good voice, for all of the 7 words I
got her to sing for me.. ;)

In the initial version of the mod I had another female chum do the 
singing bit for me, Hazel Sim, and her bit was just as good, but it
became a bit of a "chat-up-line" for me asking chicks if they
wanted to "sing in one of my songs, babe?" ;P  

What a sleazy git ;)

This mod - along with PopKorn and the sex/hardcore/nu-reality mods -
have had the honour of being played in a couple of Covent Garden
clubs in London, much to my ever "Cheshire-Cat" grinning. ;)
