Released 2007
“Flex (Dave Spoon Reflex)” by Dizzee Rascal appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2008. It was first released in 2007. Its best result is #96 on the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2008. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #656 alternative song of 2008.
This is Dave Spoon's "Reflex" rework of "Flex", the Dizzee Rascal track XL put out in November 2007 as the third single from his third album, Maths + English, and his ninth single in all. Dizzee wrote it himself, and its UK garage bounce was an open invitation to a remixer.
"Flex" itself stalled at 23 on the UK Singles Chart, one place below the single before it, but sat on top of the indie chart for 2 weeks. The video is the fun part: Dizzee dozes off in front of the TV and dreams up "Flex Factor", a send-up of The X Factor where the contestants dance instead of sing, with Reggie Yates on the judging panel beside him and Mike Skinner of The Streets, the magician Dynamo and footballer Gabriel Zakuani among the hopefuls. "Dance wiv Me" came next.
