When I was at the Woodford Folk Festival about 6 years ago a bunch of kids drove past in a ute with some techno/electronic music playing that really caught my attention. It was a version of the Pipkings song “Gimme Dat Ting” as well as other similar high bpm electronic stuff.
Does anyone know what this music might have been?
It would have been released late 90s. I thing that “Gimme Dat Ting” was used in a Whiskers ad.
David Lindley & El Rayo X covered Gimme da’ Ting (Alan Roberts & Lord Kitchener, Kutie Music, BMI) on the CD Very Greasy. That was in 1988 on Electra/Asylum.
Slight nitpick: the 1970 tune was called “Gimme Dat Ding” and the group was the Pipkins. A search of allmusic doesn’t reveal who may have done a techno cover of it.
I believe the song in question is “Gimme Dat Ding” by The Pipkins, composed by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazelwood. The Pipkins were yet another British studio group with Tony Burrows singing. He was the voice on a lot of late '60s - early '70s hits out of England by groups known as one- or two- hit wonders. He had the amazing ability to change the sound, range and timbre of his voice to sound like completely different persons on each record.
Now, who did a techno version of “Gimme Dat Ding” is another question.
I am fairly sure it is late 90’s techno.
Sorry … Ding not Ting :smack:
Ahh found this. It might be from Frank Zanders Power Pack.
Anyone heard this stuff?
