Naughty Boy
Phat Beach

Ministry of Sound

WE SAY

Naughty Boy are currently running second in the race to have a hit with the Baywatch theme, but don't rule them out just yet. This was played by Colin & Edith on Radio 1 prior to Sunblock's Baywatch theme being playlisted there and also won the listener vote on Judge Jules' Radio 1 show. It adds a Leftfield Phat Planet sample into the mix. Which is your favourite version? Can Naughty Boy do a Sunset Strippers and shoot into first place in the race? Let us know via the message board.
