I heard the Dizzee Rascal song 'Dreams' today. For the first time. And yes, I now know it's at least a year old. But...
He's sampling Captain Sensible's "Happy Talk". Dear Gawd. A number of interviews done at the time seem to have picked up on this, mostly with Dizzee saying it was just something he saw on TOTP2 and wanted to play with?
Odd. Now, how about a Captain Sensible version of Dizzee Rascal's 'Dreams', then? Just to bring it full circle. :)
