12 years old.
12. Years.
That's a lifetime, yet it only feels like yesterday! Is this how it is from now on? Because it genuinely feels like but a millisecond ago that I was rapping 'Bountykilla an' No Doubt! Jump on da stage coz we goin' crayzaay!' etc etc at the TV and going cross eyed at Gwen's outfit. However, despite the time leap, 'Hey Baby' has stayed with me, and I'm almost shocked at how I still love every ounce of the song just as much as I did when I was 8 to 9 years old!
Their 2001 album, Rock Steady, may actually be my favourite No Doubt album; as ska and new wave as the band were and are, dancehall and reggae really suit them, and it's a testament to them that the album still sounds fresh and current; I'd love to see the reaction to this song had it been released in 2013!
I also have an irrevocable love for Gwen Stefani; that woman neither ages, nor loses her energy! Can I have some of that juice, please!
Are you a No Doubt fan? What's your favourite song and/or album?
