I can’t remember where I first heard this song but I do know that I loved it so much I went out and bought TLC’s album FANMAIL and transferred it my favourite tracks (which include this one) to my new ipod when I finally moved up to 80GB!
It’s odd to look back and realise that this song and that album are now twelve years old as it doesn’t seem like five minutes ago I was playing the CD on my Walkman on my way to work at Tower Hill.
I remember watching a documentary about TLC on MTV some time later which was covered their music, their brushes with the law, fights with each other and their record label which made for some pretty interesting viewing! I love ‘No Scrubs’ as it is a song that it not ashamed to say ‘Sod Off’ to the kind of guys that beep their horns and harass pretty girls in the street, which is something, that always amuses me! The lines ‘No! I don’t want your number, No! I don’t wanna give you mine and No! I don’t wanna meet you nowhere, No! Don’t want none of your time!’ are particularly amusing despite the double negative!!
This is a great song. Enjoy….
