Boy Band Alert! 5ive were put together by the team behind The Spice Girls (yeah, they were manufactured - so much for Girl Power!) and followed most of the boy band rules, including featuring your band's name in your (mostly rapped) lyrics and having a percentage of the group (in this case 60%) do little more than the requisite posturing. Still, they were pretty huge in the UK in the late-90s and never took themselves too seriously. This 'classic' features the riff from 'I Love Rock 'n' Roll' and such fine examples of English usage as: "You gots to keep it real.
You gots to keep it raw. I'm lyrically blessed so don't try to ignore" - as if we would...
By the way, I used to adjudicate exams when I was a college. It was nothing like this!
