Pop Music Notes

It was 15 years ago that a vocalist named Roula joined forces with a dance act called 20 Fingers and stormed the world with “Lick It”. Okay…it wasn’t actually a massive hit, but it was definitely memorable. 20 Fingers actually had a bigger hit with “Short Dick Man”, or “Short Short Man”, depending on the territory you lived in at the time.

So here we are 15 years later, and as we are watching dance music make a comeback on the pop chart, I’m starting to see some parallels in the songs that are making waves. Take the house-flavored 20 Fingers formula, give it more of an electronic/techno feel, and you’ve got Richard Vission and Static Revenger’s former Top 5 Australian hit with Luciana entitled “I Like That”. The jam is currently at #38scratch that…#36 on the US Pop Airplay chart and just barely on the iTunes 200 at #192. All we need is another remake of “Total Eclipse of the Heart”, and it would be 1995 all over again.
