RE: Our First #MusicForLife Comment Contest ✍️

Ohhhhh we're going to have to back to 1997, before secondary school, I was about 9-10 years old and this was the era of Brit Pop classic anthems coming in! Every day at school, we were allowed to have the radio on during break times and there would be no end to the amount of cheesy pop singles getting churned out each week. Well, some stuck in your head more than others even if you didn't want it to!

However, thankfully, the first CD I think I bought after searching in my CD collection was Tubthumping by Chumbawamba or more readily known as "I Get Knocked Down But I Get Up Again" - spare a thought for those who are still searching for the original as the song title doesn't get mentioned at all in the track itself!

Anyway, this is a high energy power track that had us all dancing at the school discos and those catchy lyrics you can't help but sing along to. This brings back some nice memories and as with all ear worms, you can't get them out of your head and so I went to Woolworths (UK legendary store) the next day as I couldn't get enough and yes, I still have the CD!

As with all single releases at the time, there were 5 other remixes on display, my favourite named remix being the "Butthumping" mix which can so easily be misinterpreted in this day and age! You just can't beat the original though and this is my first CD I bought and I have no regrets :)

Going to tag in @gribbles @stickupboys and @mipiano for this challenge :)
