Overall Meaning

"Re-Rewind" is a song by Craig David and Artful Dodger that became a popular hit in the UK garage scene in the late 1990s. The lyrics describe the excitement and energy of a dance floor at a club, with the crowd shouting "Bo Selecta" as a call-and-response to the DJ's mixing. The song is essentially about the connection between the DJ and the audience and how the DJ's skills can create a frenzy among the crowd.


The verses set the scene, with the singer making moves and dancing hard, as he says in the chorus "Re-rewind, when the crowd say Bo Selecta." The phrase "Bo Selecta" is Jamaican slang for "big selector" or "great DJ," and the song reflects the popularity of reggae and dub music in the UK at the time.


The repetition of the chorus and the catchy beat make the song easy to dance to, and the call-and-response element encourages the audience to participate in the club-going experience. Overall, the song captures the feeling of being in the moment on the dance floor and the sense of community that can be created through music.

Having had no clooo of the lyrics when this was a hit I decided on my own version ‘Rigobert Rigobert Song Titititititi Camara’ (instead of re re wind etc). Maybe because they were names we heard a lot in the Premiership at the time. Ah well.

Miss this Garage....The Streets....nineties/early noughties....music. Such a shame that I only lived through its prime whilst in primary school.
