The Go! Team
Bottle Rocket
Label: Memphis Industries Release Date: 26/09/2005
A song apparently written to make you spontaneously dance like Carlton from the Fresh Prince, ‘Bottle Rocket’ is probably the finest moment from the Go! Team**’s Big Prize nominated album.
If they chose to, this lot could probably sell any product on earth by soundtracking the adverts with their happy-go-lucky-pig-in-chocolate-mud beats and broken biscuits happy-hop collages. Fortunately, they don’t. So just because Jimmy’s happy-slappy killing an old lady in East London, he can’t blame it on ‘Bottle Rocket’ being the reason why he bought that flash phone in the first place. Which is lucky.
The Go! Team: not killing anyone.
