I remember turning up to the studio, Mel and I, and we looked up on the screen in the control room and there was this title that said Respectable. And we all just fell about laughing, because we knew immediately what the song was about. The boys had written a track around what happened, because they couldn’t believe how unperturbed we were.Like all demos, Respectable started out sparse, but it already had a really groovy bassline.
Respectable topped the dance chart in America, too, and exploded in Australia. On a trip to Paris promoting the single, we were walking over a bridge and there were 60 Japanese teenagers walking towards us. All of a sudden, they just started screaming.
