Bit short.

Harsh, stiff production.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue May 24, 2022 7:03 pm

Sounds like the Spice Girls.

Track 3 - The Clapping Song (Clap Pat Clap Slap).

Whoever thought 90s house music was inspired by the Belle Stars.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue May 24, 2022 7:06 pm

This had an actual writer.

I'd always assumed it was by Trad. gasp
