''You Boyz Make Big Noize'' is a UK-only single from the same year and after Slade's 1987 album ''You Boyz Make Big Noize'' by rock band Slade. It was written by lead singer Noddy Holder and bassist Jim Lea. The single was released in August 1987 and peaked at #94 in the UK, spending only 1 week on the UK chart. Despite the poor charting in the UK, the single went straight to #6 in the Sounds Magazine Hot Metal 50 Chart.〔()〕〔Slade International Fan Club newsletter July - August - September 1987〕 The track featured on the American album release of ''You Boyz Make Big Noize'', replacing track 4 titled "Fools Go Crazy". == Background == The single was the first released under Cheapskate Records for years, Slade's own label. By this time, Slade had permission from RCA to release one single independently, with RCA handling the single's distribution. The single featured a Beastie Boys rap styled verses where some lines were sung by each member of the band except drummer Don Powell. The single also featured the first female singer on a Slade single since 1976 on the single ''Nobody's Fool''. The album ''You Boyz Make Big Noize'' did feature female vocals on the first track, ''Love Is Like A Rock'', a cover of Donnie Iris & The Cruisers. This particular track featured Vicki Brown, wife of singer Joe Brown.〔()〕 The artwork for the single is an exact copy of the same titled album, released earlier in the year. The track references Slade's 1972 hit ''Mama Weer All Crazee Now'' at the end of the song with the line "''here come the boys who make a lot of row, mama, mama, mama we're all crazy now''". Holder explained the track in a mid-1987 interview for the Slade fan club shortly before the release of the single. ''"Well, the situation here is that, although all the members of Slade really like this new song and want to see it released as the next single, RCA don't want to release it themselves. They have, however, given us the option to release it independently on our own label, with RCA distributing it. Our deal is not up yet at RCA, they've just agreed to let us release this one single on our own. CBS really like the song as well, so it looks like the American version of the album will include this song as the title track. The song is an up-tempo rock thing in the 'Beastie Boys' sort of ilk. The B-side will probably be an instrumental version of the same song. There will also be a 12" extended version. At the moment there are several different versions of this song with different lyrics, so we've got to try to decide on which ones we are going to use."'' Before the release of the song, Hill described the song as ''"a 'rock rap' thing with a Beastie Boys feel to it."''〔()〕〔Slade International Fan Club newsletter April - May - June 1987〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「You Boyz Make Big Noize (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
