Justified and Ancient (1991)

[Macfan4life]

Who remembers this song? OMG this takes me back to college when this song was popular. KLF was a British dance music band that had some big club hits. Their drummer was a Tammy Wynette fan and dared to ask her to sing on one of their songs. They call this the biggest crossover success that ever was. I remember when I first heard this song I thought it was cute they had someone sound like Tammy Wynette on the song. It was not until I saw the video that I learned it was really her. Everyone was trying to understand what the hell she was singing about. What the hell is Mu Mu land? It turns out Tammy had the same concerns and asked them what was Mu Mu land and was not even sure what an Ice Cream truck was. Tammy got to sing next to people dressed as ice cream cones. All of this was so crazy but it worked wonderfully. Not only was it KLF's biggest hit, it went to #1 in European countries and on the Dance charts. It hit #2 in the UK and only blocked by Queen when Freddie Mercury died. It hit #11 in the states and was all over MTV.
