No Way No Way

Product Information

Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. The band members were sisters Frances and Alison Potter, Alida Swart and Sharon Selby. They released two singles for EMI in the late 1990s. What a song. It's got everything you could possibly want, especially when paired with the can't-afford-LA-let's-go-to-Droitwich Spa video.

Only in hindsight am I now seeing that it had real novelty value.” However, because people weren't taking them seriously by that point, and 98 was such a strong year for music and it had lots of competition, it debuted at number 34 in the charts and then they got dropped by their record label.Oh how my friends and I would be glued to "The Box" when this came on, it is impossible to drag yourself away from the TV and woe betide anyone that tried to turn it over. I had it on CD single and was devastated when it went missing.

Novelty records may have evolved over the years but many of the principles that made Benny Hill’s Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West) a No 1 in the 1970s would still work today, despite changing consumption habits. The cooler corners of the internet are currently tying themselves in knots over QT’s Hey QT, a deranged electronic pop record fronted by a girl purportedly selling a made-up energy drink.
