The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #threetunetuesday tag that would be great, as that is what I use when sifting through all the entries every Wednesday. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize.
This week we hit the streets with Mike Skinner and some songs from the early to mid-2000s. These were some iconic songs around the early 2000s which were sort of rap/garage or how would your describe them?
In his first release, he looks so young now. Mike is actually the same age as me and that is hard to believe when I think about it now.
The first song I remember was Has It Come To This and I liked the tune when it was released. It was something new and different to all the pop tunes being churned out.
Probably his most famous song is Fit But Don't You Know. It was a catchy tune but I think could get annoying quickly! haha In the video are some clips from the iconic film The Football Factory which was about fighting between football fans.
My favorite song of all though is Blinded By The Lights. The video seems to highlight the drink and drug culture that may or may not have been around at that time. This is showing in my opinion the bad side (is there a good side?) of this and as with the last video, it seemed to escalate with violence. If ever a reason to not consume them, these songs seem to show how it will come to no good.
Very fashionable at the time was wearing Burberry or Stone Island clothes and I see that Mike had his scarf on.
Do you have a favorite The Streets tune?
