e have always been massive fans of Shirley Ellis, so this cover was a no brainer. Although we recorded it in 2001 under the name "Da Muttz", it wasn’t until subsequent mixes in 2003 that this track made it out onto vinyl to become one of our best selling EPs to date.
& of course.. Big kisses, hugs and thank-yous to the original & perennial skee-girl, the wonderful Charlise Rookwood! (who has just this morning joined the cloud!! go follow @charlise-rookwood)

lyrics
"Sooner or later baby, here's a ditty
Say you're gonna have to
get right down to the real nitty gritty
Sooner or later baby, here's a ditty
Say you're gonna have to (x4)
ditty say you're gonna have to
gonna have to
get right down to the real nitty gritty
Now let's get right on down to the nitty gritty
Now one, two nitty gritty
let's get right on down to the nitty gritty
Now one, two nitty gritty
let's get right on down to the nitty gritty
gonna have to
get right down to the real nitty gritty
let's get right on down to the nitty gritty
Now one, two nitty gritty
nitty gritty
let's get right on down to the nitty gritty
Now one, two nitty gritty
gonna have to
get right down to the real nitty gritty
let's get right on down to the nitty gritty
Now one, two nitty gritty
let's get right on down to the nitty gritty"

Almost impossible to pick a favourite from this bunch, they're all so cool. For now, I'm singling out the Kinks one because it's such an original song choice but ask me tomorrow and it'll be a different one! themichaelmoran

Just what the doctor ordered: three winsome, toe-tapping tracks that combine top-notch funk breaks, slinky pianos, and sultry soul vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 31, 2019

Really hard to pick a favourite out of these four tracks that make me want to, against all good sense and character, use the phrase "absolute bangers". The rework of "Mama Said" edges it because it must have been hell itself finding elements to add to that track that didn't end up making it worse not better. Leo Stableford
