Welcome to the 109th edition of PJ Retro, a contest in which Popjustice forum users pit their favourite obscure pop songs from before 2000 against each other.

As this is my first time hosting Retro, and I got the gig by not-quite-winning with a 1996 song, I've sent a copy of MS Paint backwards through a time vortex to my 1996 self and asked him to draw me a co-host.

Here it comes back through the vortex now...

Oh, yeah, I was 5 years old in 1996.

Presumably my drawings were still in the "tadpole person" phase?

Okay.

So here's the usual link to the PJ Retro rules. PM me a song to enter. Please include the artist, title, and a YouTube link (or somewhere else it can be played on the web). A Spotify link would also be nice, if applicable. There is no theme (because I'm not allowed one).

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: Friday, 14 February, 23.59 (GMT).

DEADLINE FOR BALLOTS: Tuesday, 4 March, 23.59 (GMT).
