Anyone see the SAW history doc last night?  I was coping ok, got a bit sad during the Mel & Kim section, but loved the top-tucked-in-to-jeans look everyone sported.  Then they spoiled it all by plaing the Reynolds 'Jack' song and I have it stuck in my head, even to the point of nearly trying to emulate the moves.
 
Tiny control rooms at PWL though.  I always imagined much grander fare.

What channel was it on?

I was working in the industry at the time, and remember how we hated the Hit Factory sound and methodology - but looking back now it really was a fantastic model.

It's been on before, very interesting actually.

I never realized most of those songs came from the same people.  I remember thinking about disecting some of the most popular songs to see if I could figure out why that particular song was so much better than others that seemed to be similar...

Without even watching, I'm betting that was Pete Burns from Dead or Alive 

I guess it might be, but he's gotten his lips botoxed then!
