It's been a while since I did a special post like this. But when I was reminded of this Adina Howard classic (more on how I was reminded in a second), I remembered how sexy and hot and freaky this song was. Relying heavily on George Clinton and Bootsy Collins samples, the song just slaps.
It was also a HUGE hit in 1995, reaching #2 on the US pop chats and charting similarly worldwide.
In 2001, producer Richard X put together a bootleg mashup that combined Adina Howard's song with Tubeway Army's "Are Friends Electric". He released it under an alias, Girls On Top, and called it "We Don't Give A Damn About Our Friends". It became a huge underground hit.
Adina Howard was not a fan of releasing this version commercially, which Richard X wanted to do.
So, he called the Sugababes.
Who recorded this.
It was well recieved in the UK, where it was a #1 hit.
Now, for some reason, the Spotify AI DJ thought I would want to hear this song last week, and boy, was the Spotify DJ.... spot on. It made a hot and sexy song so much better.
By the way, Sugababes are still together, and performing, and getting a bit of a bump. Here they are performing live this summer at Wembley Stadium.
Adina Howard is also still performing her song live, as she did last summer in Rochester, NY. Sure, it isn't Wembley, but hey, it's still pretty awesome.
