WHERE THE HOKEY POKEY "IS" WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches

Posted 9 months ago



Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches was the third album by British band Happy Mondays. It was released in 1990 and was produced by Paul Oakenfold and Steve Osborne at Eden Studios in London.

In 2000 Q magazine placed Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches at number 31 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. In 2005, the album was voted the 51st greatest album of all time by Channel 4 viewers.

In November 2007 the album was rereleased by Rhino records with extra tracks and a DVD of music videos. "Step On" was originally intended as a contribution to the Rubáiyát: Elektra's 40th Anniversary compilation for their US label Elektra, but they decided to keep it to release as a single.

It became their biggest-selling single, peaking at Number 5 in the UK and even making it on to the Billboard Hot 100 chart at Number 57.

I've always liked this tunes groove.
