Baby Ford and the BBC Ban
22/09/05
| Pete Adshead who was to become Baby Ford was sent up to my Whitley bay studio to collaborate with me by his manager Joe Chibley. We co-wrote several songs. The usual way of working was that Pete would send me a bunch of suggested titles in the post and I would work up a track, send it to him and when we got together there would be a framework. One such title was "Disco Me To Estacy". Now to me, this was a perfectly harmless title but Pete was doing all the London clubs and listening to this acid house stuff so the drug reference can't have escaped him. Anyway the thing was coming out as a single so the title was changed to Chikki Chikki Ahh Ahh. No probs we thought, that'll fool the BBC. No such luck, they banned it and it of course became a hit. Don't know what I am more proud of - the hit or the ban. To the right is another one I did with Peter - Beach Bump, no probs with that title huh?
