HERITAGE: Cleopatra Go Full '90s With "Cleopatra's Theme" At Smash Hits Poll Winners Party (1998)


January 23, 2018

Want to feel old? This clip of Cleopatra at the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party is 20 years old. 20. Twenty.

There are so many fantastically '90s things in this clip—not least Cleopatra themselves—that it's hard to keep count. First of all, there's the words "Smash Hits Poll Winners Party", itself a phrase guaranteed to plunge you into the past. Second, there's that jerky shoulder dance move thing with the slide... Fantastically '90s. Finally, Cleopatra are introduced by none other than Big Willy Smith, Melanie Sykes and Stephen Gately. No one will ever embody the late mid-late '90s the way these three do. Apart from, y'know, Cleopatra themselves.

This truly is the most potent nostalgia fodder we could've found and we're pretty sure there's some solid maths to back that up. Although, if you want to binge further on the happy-go-lucky trio, maybe check out this episode from their adorably dated CITV show.
