OK - I've no hope of solving this, as 99% of the time I have to rely on Google for anything to do with pop music. :(
So what's the answer?

OK, got it, but only by guessing from the clues already given what some of the other words might be and then Googling - I'd never heard (or heard of) the answer.

Just Philed it in using the same method as Fill.

Absolutely tiny, from what I've heard. Anyway, it was rap (with the silent "c") - not a song.

A cover version that was neither necessary nor appreciated, apart from the good old substitution of "constipation" for "reputation".

Well, it spent several weeks at number one, and the (c)rap was only a small part of it, Lindy Layton sang the main vocals.

As shit as the "puzzle" may have been (you do realise that was the intention, right?), it's still not remotely as shit as the people who hadn't caught on by page 2 despite it being practically spelt out for them.

Remember to vote for me in the "awesome person" awards too, thxbai

Since when was being number 1 for several weeks a mark of quality? Was it as good as "Shadd-ap-a-your-face?" :roll:

I have the excuse that I'd never heard the song before. I remember "Dub Be Good to Me", but not this remix thing.

I would have to be some kind of colossal bell-end not to.

As those were supposed to be clues, what was their relevance? :?

Why do you say they were supposed to be clues? They were never described as such. I believe they were intended more as self-fulfilling prophecies. :roll:

That was a rebuttal to it being "tiny", not the crap part. If you re-read you'll notice I actually agreed with that bit.

And you also picked a really poor comparison there - that Joe Dolce classic was the first 7" owned by the guy in my dad's avatar :D

Alice Moore on the 19th June wrote:Here's another. What are the next 5 letters in this sequence?

F,U,K,A,W,W,R,A,Y,R,D,U,K,A,W,W,L,T,E,E,T,K,E,Y,R,Y,E,W,N,U,K,A,R,Y,O,E,E,W,T,U,T,D,O,E,E,W,N,U,K,A,R

Clue: It's going on a similar principle to the last one (which is why it uses single letters: too easy otherwise). God knows whether anyone'll get it though.
I think the answer must be "no" by now . . .
