Scooch are a British bubblegum dance group, comprising performers Natalie Powers, Caroline Barnes, David Ducasse and Russ Spencer.
Scooch represented the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Helsinki with their song "Flying the Flag (For You)", finishing joint 22nd out of 24 entries after receiving 19 points in the final. The song reached number 5 in the UK Top 40 Singles Chart on 13 May 2007 after having been available for download for two months prior.
Auditions for an "all-singing, all-dancing pop group" were held between autumn 1997 and spring 1998 in front of the songwriters and producers Mike Stock and Matt Aitken and future manager Steve Crosby. Heidi Range auditioned for the group but was declined after it was revealed she was only 14 years old. The final foursome was formed in October 1998. For the first few months the group were kept low-key and spent time on their image and sound. The group's name comes from a term used to ask someone to move up or along a bench or sofa.
I've heard every kind of love song,
Cried unrequited tears,
I've lived all the lines for so long,
But never felt you near.
And I listen to my radio,
Every record in the chart,
When you said 'be my baby'
It made the fires start.
Now that's what I call music,
Music to my heart,
Now that's what I call music,
Music to my heart.
(Call music, music,
I call music, music to my heart,
Music to my heart.)
And I've moved to every rhythm,
And danced to every beat.
All the hits I've sung along to
Never really got a hold on me.
All the time I've ever known you,
Never thought we'd come this far.
When you said that you even cared,
Well, that was music to my heart.
Now that's what I call music,
Music to my heart,
Now that's what I call music,
Music to my heart.
(I call music, music,
I call music, music to my heart,
Music, music to my heart.)
Music.
I've heard every kind of love song,
Cried unrequited tears,
I've lived all the lines for so long,
But never felt you near.
And I listen to my radio,
Every record in the chart,
When you said 'be my baby'
It made the fires start.
Now that's what I call music,
Music to my heart,
Now that's what I call music,
Music to my heart.
(I call music, music,
I call music, music to my heart,
I call music, music,
I call music to my heart.)
Now that's what I call music,
Music to my heart,
Now that's what I call music,
Music to my heart.
