The TikTok hit that samples Nightcrawlers has been edited by Riton for release this Friday, and it's already going on the Capital playlist!

Posted by: Stu1985 14th January 2021, 11:03 AM

Ok ready for this!

Posted by: gavindeejay 14th January 2021, 11:31 AM

Oh dear

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 14th January 2021, 11:40 AM

This sample has been done to death already, but I'll reserve judgement.

Posted by: JulianNial 14th January 2021, 11:41 AM

As soon as I saw Nightcrawlers... I knew.

Posted by: danuary 14th January 2021, 12:16 PM

how many times does this have to get sampled??? almost has as many versions as Show Me Love this now.

Posted by: TheSnake 14th January 2021, 06:09 PM

I only remember the Big Narstie version a few years ago, and the sample being used in AJ Tracey - Dinner Guest and in Pitbull's Hotel Room Service.

This new version with Mufasa, Hypeman and Riton sounds good anyway from the itunes NZ preview.

How can i describe it, it actually sounds to me rather like what you would have expected a remix of Push The Feelin On would have sounded in 2010 with the vocal style (there's even a guy that sounds like Example in it) and also the style of vocal effects towards the end of the iTunes preview.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 14th January 2021, 06:26 PM

I can't unhear Example in it now

Posted by: Bjork 14th January 2021, 06:42 PM

bit why are they releasing it now? wasn't it a TikTok thing last summer?

Posted by: awardinary 15th January 2021, 12:50 AM

It’s... ok I think?

Posted by: Stu1985 15th January 2021, 01:23 AM

THIS SLAPS MY FACE

Posted by: lewistgreen 15th January 2021, 07:15 AM

LOVE IT

Posted by: TomHo 15th January 2021, 07:48 AM

They included the tiktok meme lol, this song is ok but I am kinda tired of the different versions but it’s not bad, I added it to one of my playlists

Posted by: gavindeejay 15th January 2021, 07:54 AM

This isn't as bad as I feared it would be actually, it's a bop!

Posted by: Dan17F1 15th January 2021, 08:42 AM

Really really love this! I can definitely see it doing well commercially too.

Posted by: SimpsonFan 15th January 2021, 10:52 AM

The new vocals are quite underwhelming, I thought it would just be those two guys from TikTok

Posted by: lewistgreen 15th January 2021, 12:54 PM

I think they're needed. Otherwise it would be boring if it was just a TikTok sample and nothing else

Posted by: Klumzee 15th January 2021, 12:58 PM

Eh this would be the kinda thing I'd like drunk but other than that no. Think it's just a cheap hit based off that meme that I never found that funny in the first place unfortunately. My gut instinct is this will flop as there's not much to go back to other than the sample and the clubs are shut so no pre-drinks etc. but I wouldn't rule it out completely.

Posted by: James Montague 15th January 2021, 03:28 PM

This song has been covered so many times.

However, after listening to this version, it seems a bit more fresh and energetic.

Posted by: Liam.k. 15th January 2021, 03:44 PM

Agreed, it's really cheap and 'Push the Feeling On' is still a hugely relevant song in its own right so there's no use for this version.

Posted by: TheSnake 17th January 2021, 01:55 PM

That recent If U Seek Amy thread on Buzzjack has made me realise what the style of vocal effect at 2:11 in the song remind me of - Britney Spears songs in the early 2010s - the whole song does have an early 10s feel with the style of female vocal in it too and with what sounds like Example singing in it too as I said before.

I am up for this making the charts anyway, this re-edit doesn't ruin the classic original when added to it and the additional bassline in the second verse by Riton is a great feature I think.

Posted by: hlavkus 17th January 2021, 09:32 PM

MK himself (the one who made the version we all know, Push the Feeling On is a Jazz song originally) used the meme as an intro of his Defected Virtual Festival set.

Posted by: lewistgreen 18th January 2021, 07:23 PM

#57 in the mids today *.*

Posted by: lewistgreen 22nd January 2021, 08:19 AM

Tune of the Weekend on Radio 1

Posted by: Liam.k. 22nd January 2021, 08:24 AM

Already back-tracking... this is annoyingly infectious.

Posted by: Dobbo. 22nd January 2021, 10:21 AM

Completely agreed. Those female vocals are terrible and sound cheap AF.

I get they couldn't just use the meme parts on loop but they could have padded it out with better vocals. I'd even have taken a rap over what we've got.

Anyway, this might the first time ever I've been ahead of the curve when it comes to TikTok memes charting!

Posted by: TheSnake 22nd January 2021, 05:16 PM

I think the female vocal sounds quite early 10s EDM vocal though so there is a bit of a nostalgia factor there for me.

Posted by: awardinary 22nd January 2021, 05:49 PM

Enters the UK Top 100 this week at a respectful chart position of #60.

Posted by: Bré 22nd January 2021, 07:48 PM

I personally find that chart position kinda disrespectful tbh

Posted by: lewistgreen 22nd January 2021, 07:50 PM

Absolutely, it deserves to be MUCH higher.

Posted by: Bré 22nd January 2021, 07:55 PM

((that was a joke about Wardy typoing 'respectable' as 'respectful'))

Posted by: Tombo 24th January 2021, 07:00 AM

I wouldn’t be averse to this teaching the top 40 tbh

Posted by: Jason 25th January 2021, 06:31 PM

It looks like it will be finally top 40 this Friday. #31 today.

Posted by: Santa Bré 25th January 2021, 07:41 PM

'Finally'

This is its 2nd week xx

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 25th January 2021, 08:17 PM

This looks like a future top 5 to me.

Posted by: Tomato Bré 26th January 2021, 12:32 AM

Now that I've actually heard this...

why does this exist

Maybe if I was familiar with the meme it's based on I'd understand it more but it just seems like a cheap rehash of the original song with completely pointless added vocals and randomly throwing a TikTok sample over it? Why would anyone ever listen to this over the original song?

edit: I found the original TikTok this is based on and sure I kinda get why that went viral but it doesn't translate into turning it into a full song, as shown by the unrelated female vocals having to be added to pad it out which add absolutely nothing to it. :')

Posted by: danuary 26th January 2021, 09:49 AM

Will need to give it a few more listens now that it's looking likely to be a big hit then, hopefully it starts growing.

If anyone is interested, the uncredited female vocalist is Harper.

Posted by: ElevenSnake 26th January 2021, 11:28 AM

I don't have TikTok but looking at the YouTube reupload of Mufasa dancing yes it is quite a good meme I think. Also Gordon Ramsay did a version of it!

The female vocal is to make it sound more like a modern dance song I think as that sort of vocal house is popular now. Also it is more likely to be a hit now if it has a bit of a poppy vocal to it.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 26th January 2021, 12:29 PM

This is so cheap, like even moreso than 'Turn Me On' was.

Posted by: ElevenSnake 26th January 2021, 02:01 PM

Are you referring to the Cheat Codes cover of the Kevin Lyttle song?

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 26th January 2021, 02:02 PM

The Oliver Heldens & Riton song, I'd presume

Posted by: ElevenSnake 26th January 2021, 02:23 PM

I do like it but it would have been good if they got Big Narstie to do a verse in it after he did this version of the Nightcrawlers track a few years ago.



Which version is better by the way, this or this new version, I like both but will go with the John Reid and Big Narstie version.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 26th January 2021, 02:38 PM

Yes, which I thought would have been obvious.

Posted by: ElevenSnake 27th January 2021, 03:01 AM

I don't know that Riton and Oliver Heldens song. I genuinely thought you were referring to the Cheat Codes song because it was also a rework of an old song and that you were comparing them

EDIT I do know it actually, yes it samples Yazoo and is the song that should have been called 'Dr. Love' so as to not confuse people like me. I agree that was a bit 'cheap' as you call it, as it does rely a lot on the sample. I prefer this new song 'Friday' even though it also relies a lot on a sample, as I think because Yazoo's Don't Go was a full song with lyrics that I really liked, it annoyed me a bit that just the instrumental drop of Don't Go was sampled in the track, whereas Push The Feelin On is is sampled in a more complete manner with original lyrics in a part of the song.

Posted by: Jason 30th January 2021, 05:28 PM

Another cover version being top 40. Predictable but I like it.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 30th January 2021, 06:03 PM

I do like this, i liked some of the nightcrawlers stuff back in the day, especially lets push it.

Posted by: lewistgreen 3rd February 2021, 10:19 PM

Radio 2 support oh my

Posted by: lewistgreen 5th February 2021, 07:08 AM

And now Radio 1 support too!

Posted by: gavindeejay 5th February 2021, 09:22 AM

Surprised Radio 2 are playing this. Great to see Radio 1 support. I know it's cheesy, but it's not that bad

Posted by: awardinary 5th February 2021, 09:47 AM

It’s going to be a big hit isn’t it, but I ain’t complaining.

Posted by: Dobbo. 5th February 2021, 09:53 AM

Oh Mufasa, what have you started.

Posted by: awardinary 5th February 2021, 08:21 PM

Big climb to #24 this week. Top 20 next week?

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 6th February 2021, 04:53 PM

iTunes number 1 so hopefully it c add n at the least go top 20.

Posted by: k👠th 7th February 2021, 12:40 PM

Not gonna lie I am totally bopping to this at the moment

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 8th February 2021, 10:40 PM

Ya me too, really enjoying it right now.

Posted by: awardinary 12th February 2021, 06:40 PM

#16 this week!

Posted by: awardinary 19th February 2021, 05:54 PM

Now a Top 10 single! At #10 today!

Posted by: dan :: G 19th February 2021, 10:21 PM

this really doesn’t deserve to have outpeaked Rinse and Repeat and Turn Me On but I guess with the double whammy of a obvious sample and TikTok meme it was always going to.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 20th February 2021, 02:00 AM

i wonder will we hear anything more from the nightcrawlers after this.

Posted by: Bré 20th February 2021, 04:12 AM

Riton's chart singles have each been significantly worse than the previous one while charting higher. Oops.

('Turn Me On' was still decent but not a patch on 'Rinse & Repeat')

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 20th February 2021, 11:20 AM

Even Ant & Dec are getting involved!

Posted by: JOTA 25th February 2021, 02:01 PM

the music video drops tomorrow

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 25th February 2021, 02:46 PM

This really needs to die.

Posted by: TheSnake 2nd March 2021, 12:20 AM

I am still enjoying this, really well produced with its various parts, hopefully it starts a trend and leads to more upbeat and fun dance songs making the chart.

Posted by: lewistgreen 20th March 2021, 01:00 PM

#1 on Spotify today

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 20th March 2021, 01:37 PM

Quick question I keep forgetting to ask: what makes it a 'Dopamine Re-Edit'?

Posted by: Bré 20th March 2021, 05:03 PM

Dopamine is another artist name, not exactly sure what they have to do with it though or how it is a re-edit when there isn't another version of the song as far as I can tell.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 23rd April 2021, 02:34 PM

I just found out that this was co-produced by The Invisible Men, which contains two members of Orson of 'No Tomorrow' fame!

Posted by: JackTheeStallion 23rd April 2021, 02:42 PM

I genuinely can't think of a worse big Dance hit of recent years. Absolutely f***ing awful.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 23rd April 2021, 03:16 PM

It's definitely up there for me also!
