"Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta)" is a song by English garage band The Artful Dodger featuring Craig David on vocals. Released in the UK in 1999, the song reached number two, giving David his first taste of chart success. In his dean's list for the annual Pazz & Jop critics' poll, Robert Christgau of The Village Voice named "Re-Rewind" the fifth best single of the year.[1]
Background
The melody in the verses was lifted from an older Craig David demo called "Last Night" which was re-recorded for his debut solo album Born to Do It. A slightly different version of the song, simply titled "Rewind", was featured on David's debut album Born to Do It and was credited solely as Craig David and contained no vocals but David's.
The single is notable for being the first record signed by influential label Relentless Records and as such the one to first establish the imprint as a pioneering force within mainstream music.[2]
In popular culture
It is from this song that Leigh Francis's comedy series Bo' Selecta! took its name.
Chart performance
The single reached number two on the UK Singles Chart.[3][4]
