(3) FUNK: GROOVE ARMADA –
\nI SEE YOU BABY (1999)
\nB-side: Paper Romance (2010)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“This is the house that funk built – Groove Armada style!”<\/p>\n
Nuff said.<\/p>\n
Or perhaps not – Groove Armada (English electronic music duo Andy Cato and Tom Findlay) is another big beat funk entry from the 1990’s.<\/p>\n
This entry, I See You Baby, is arguably their signature single and certainly one of the defining songs of 1999-2000. Although the original single was funky in itself, I prefer the even funkier remix by Fatboy Slim. (Interestingly, the duo DJ’d Fatboy Slim’s – or rather, Norman Cook’s – wedding). Watch out for that video – it gets a little raunchy<\/p>\n
“You got to get on the dance floor\u2026Oh this party got it going on!”<\/p>\n
Don’t look for much in the way of lyrical depth (or lyrics) there – it’s all about the funk.<\/p>\n
For my B-side – their 2010 single Paper Romance from their album Black Light (also remixed with other songs in their White Light album that year)<\/p>\n
As for the balance of my Top 10 Groove Armada songs:
\n(3) Song 4 Mutya (2007)
\n(4) If Everybody Looked the Same (1999)
\n(5) Madder (2003)
\n(6) Superstyling (2001)
\n(7) My Friend (2001)
\n(8) Think Twice (2002)
\n(9) Purple Haze (2002)
\n(10) But I Feel Good (2003)<\/p>\n
