I'm intrigued and surprised by this - it's one of the most frequently covered/remixed songs I know, has been a staple in DJ sets since it first became popular and most people I know in the UK would instantly recognise it.
Some covers:
Hackney Colliery Band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKHtfjXrUzs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKHtfjXrUzs
Aphrodite (drum 'n bass): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20SezMmyE6w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20SezMmyE6w
Chet Faker (downtempo): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIfFA8-RaHQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIfFA8-RaHQ
Boeboe (trap): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qqw18evmVA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qqw18evmVA
- globular-toast 6y agoAll of those covers are in niche genres. I've no idea why you think that means the song should be more universally well known. I'm not sure what it is about music but some people find it very hard to relate to people with radically different musical tastes. I'm sure much of it is on purpose, though, to make people seem more cultured and refined.
- crtasm 6y agoI disagree that downtempo and drum and bass are niche genres, but in any case I'm not saying "these covers show it should be better known". I'm giving examples of how big a tune it is within my (and friends) musical bubble, didn't mean it as a dig against yours. Sorry if it came across that way. edit: This made me curious what comes up on a search for "radio 1 no diggity" - here's Backstreet Boys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zg8vknZ9L0M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zg8vknZ9L0M Ed Sheeran: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uijKNxpRCQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uijKNxpRCQ Klaxons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGqyUzPMHDo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGqyUzPMHDo
