“Tingly” by Pop!

"Tingly" was a one-off. Pop! was the solo side project of Amy Flower, who wrote the song with John Richards of About Six Feet, and the voice belongs to Angie Hart, then singing in the hugely successful Frente. They got it down in an hour on Good Friday 1995, and it glows with a lush, retro pop feel.

Triple J's Richard Kingsmill played the demo over and over, and White Records, Frente's label, at first asked him to stop, since Hart hadn't been given permission to make it. White feared it would muddy Frente's move toward a more grown-up sound, so the song came out grudgingly, as a 5-track single with no video. It was never a hit, peaking at 92 on the ARIA chart, but it made the Hottest 100 for 1995, became a regular sound on Neighbours and Home and Away, and kept on selling.
