1995 The Outhere Brothers: Don't Stop (Wiggle Wiggle)

A Chicago born, dance cum hip hop duo, the very name 'Outhere Brothers' raises the hackles with its self promoting suggestion of the off the wall wackiness to come. And on that score at least 'Don't Stop (Wiggle Wiggle)' takes those initial fears and cubes them; basically a four minute frat boy keg party on a disc, 'Don't Stop' is banality writ large, a repeating "Don't stop movin' baby ooh that booty drive me crazy, Wiggle wiggle, wiggle wiggle" chorus that unsubtly chug-a-lugs its one 'joke' down the throat via a funnel and hose until it vomits its own tedium back over itself with a 'Yo Dude' thumbs up. Neither dance nor hip hop, 'Don't Stop' is a junior school playground chant for pre-pubescent boys just starting to notice girls but with no clue what to do about it (there's an X rated version that's all "pussy", "ass" and "dick" that is, if anything, even more clueless). Who was buying it? Gawd knows. Maybe it fed into the emerging, Loaded fired 'new lad' culture of the mid nineties - the accompanying video of the brothers mud wrestling with a bevy of blonde, busty, bikini babes suggests as much anyway. To modern ears though it's as embarrassing as your mother recounting to your new girlfriend how you still regularly wet the bed at age twelve - that is, something best forgotten.
