    The KLF Reaction
    Tammy Wynette Reaction
    90s Reaction
    Empress Reaction
    "Justified & Ancient" is a song by British band The KLF. It was featured on their 1991 album, The White Room, but its origins date back to the duo's debut album, 1987 (What the Fuck Is Going On?).
    The song is best known for its remake that was released on 25 November 1991 as a pop-house single subtitled "Stand by The JAMs", with verses featuring the vocals of American country music singer Tammy Wynette. This version was an international hit, reaching number two on both the UK Singles Chart, and the US dance chart, number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and hitting number one in 18 countries.[2]
    "Justified & Ancient (Stand by the JAMs)" was the final release by the KLF through retail channels before Drummond and Cauty quit the music business and retired the KLF name.

    The story goes that KLF was working on this song, and they couldn't figure out how to do it. Then one of them said, "You know what this song needs? Tammy Wynette!" So, they made some phone calls, got in touch with her, played her the song. She loved it, and agreed to do it. This is actually one of the last songs she recorded.

    This song captured the boundless optimism of this time and the dawn of this new type of music. It was cutting edge and the fact it melded the old with the new, you really felt like we were all bound for Mu-Mu land. Anything was possible and okay, as long as it was coming from a place of Peace Love Unity and Respect. The fact this has elements of hip-hop, techno, Tammy, and just an unfettered feeling that anything was possible, it was extremely special.
    KLF were so dope, do damn catchy, and so out of left field. It's still amazing they had mainstream success considering they were trying to disrupt the system and I adored that they shunned their success and actually sort of stopped making music because they were actually striving for a non-commercial sound that would disrupt the industry, but the masses started to love them and make them wealthy/etc, so they realized they were becoming too commercial and put it to an end (that is the story I always heard, anyway).

      Jimmy Cauty said to Bill Drummond (British founding members of The JAMS (Justified Ancients of Mumu), KLF, the K foundation etc) one day that they should do a track with Tammy, they called her and to their surprise she agreed to doing it, after asking about the lyrics of course.
      Later, after it was too late, Jimmy said "I think I've made a mistake", he was originally thinking of Dolly Parton I believe. Maybe his mistake was a blessing in disguise, I couldn't imagine this with Dolly instead of Tammy.

    I think this song came out in 1991, the year I graduated high school. I think I can explain your amazement in how Tammy hooked up with KLF.
    The cold war had just ended, the Berlin Wall was torn down and the USSR was allowing the countries in the Eastern Block autonomy in self governance. At that time everyone was heaving a sigh of relief because the constant threat of nuclear war was over. Everybody was happy and open to learning about other cultures.
    The electronic music scene merged with Tammy's sound during that time. There was such a sense of unity during that time that artists started crossing over to different types of music as, basically, a show of support for worldwide peace. This song, at the time, nailed the feeling of different people with different beluefs being able to come together and make beautiful things if they only believed we all were looking for harmony instead of division.

    I loved this song as a kid. I had no idea who Tammy or the KLF were, but later learned that the KLF were this reclusive rave/house group who only put out a couple of albums. What I love about the late 80s and early 90s was how there were so few genre boundaries. Rap and house music were interchangeable and then bringing in a country singer like this didn't even really seem all that strange.

    This was Tammy Wynette’s huge comeback song to a new generation and experimentation with a new genre. It was a huge hit simply because the mashup was so unexpected and the novelty of hearing Tammy sing about Mumu Land! 🤪 It’s unexpected, but it actually works and proves how different genres can blend into something greater than their individual parts.
    And it was also a successful collab because each party, both Tammy and KLF, got a huge boost in radio exposure and industry credibility. Go figure... however l still don’t fully understand what the lyrics mean!

      Ironically, Tammy was one of those hardcore country “purists” that would have frowned on such a collab 20 years earlier. You know she was furious about your girl ONJ winning a Grammy for Best Country Female and ACM award for Most Promising Female for Let Me Be There in 1973? Tammy was so livid she stood by her man George Jones and they left the ACM to establish the ACE (Academy of Country Entertainers) in protest.

      They were heavily inspired by the Illuminatus! Trilogy, which was basically three books about sex, drugs, and conspiracy theories, mid-'70s style. It's surrealist satire steeped in Discordianism, which is a religion disguised as a joke that's disguised as a religion. It's a bit of a rabbit hole to go down, but if you do you might start to see the fnords.
      The Justified Ancients of Mummu (referencing a Mesopotamian god involved with crafting and practical knowledge) is an anarchist secret society in those books. Mummu got mixed up some - both by characters in the books and in reality - with the land of Mu (in part because Mummu sounds like Mu Mu, so people hearing it think whoever says it is talking about that) or Lemuria, which is a mythical lost continent similar to Atlantis.
      That gives context for some of the lyrics but, honestly, I would not be at all surprised if a degree of incomprehensible weirdness was intentional.

      K.L.F were no rap group. They were two anarchistic provocateur music industry insiders who sacked off the music industry 'game' and made what we in Britain call 'Piss Take' music simply to make a point about the general crapness of the music scene in the 80s. I guess americans call it 'busting balls'?'
      They are Bill Drummond (Kingboy D) and Jimmy Cauty (Rockman Rock). Bill was an A&R man who created ZOO records, signed and then managed the band Big in Japan. He got fed up with the corporate label's BS, so he quit, made a crazy solo album called 'The Man' before hooking up with Jimmy, who was a guitarist with an interest and technical skills in sampling. They put out one of the seminal early trance tunes in the form of "What time is love?.. (Pure Trance)" ua-cam.com/video/kUs504Xdd8E/v-deo.html
      After that they created a visual and auditory masterpiece road movie film (dressed as legendary British 1920's Mount Everest enigmas Mallory and Irvine) and soundtrack album "The White Room" ua-cam.com/video/vYgny12u61c/v-deo.html
      In the meantime Jimmy created the ambient acid house collab "The Orb" with Alex Paterson: ua-cam.com/video/TQ8nTbS9mOE/v-deo.html
      Next up as The KLF they put out the seminal, mind blowing and still relevant "Chill Out" ambient house soundscape stoner's album: ua-cam.com/video/bWebqCRw7o4/v-deo.html
      The next concept was 'Stadium House' which is where Justified and Ancient with Tammy comes in. Essentially it is sample heavy Pop Rock with country, rap and house music influences coated in a massive, tongue in cheek veneer of cheese. They were the biggest selling act in Britain in 1991!
      They won the Brit awards Best act prize in '92 and turned up at the awards ceremony where they blew the minds of the audience of music industry insiders by performing with harsh death metal act extreme noise terror, Bill fired a blank firing machine gun into the crowd and the stage went black, and they were gone. Forever. ua-cam.com/video/NtqW7MB5Dmo/v-deo.html
      They announced they were finishing, deleted the entire back catalogue, making it unobtainable and the original Vinyls worth a fortune. They took off to the Scottish islands, went to an abandoned old cottage and filmed themselves physically throwing £1 million of British banknotes onto the raging fire in the hearth.
      Or did they? 😁
      Legends the pair of them and rightly they have a cult following. They of are still about, making art, music and generally taking the piss.
      Have a little watch of this and wonder in awe at quite how they managed to pull it all off.

    Even when I was 12 (when this song came out) I knew this was something special. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve only grown to appreciate this song more and more as a genre-blurring master stroke of a track, and it makes me sad that it ended up being the straw that broke The KLF’s back, with regards to commercial pressure squeezing their artistic tendencies. I’m just glad I was able to hear it and grow up with it, as I think it gave me the ability to enjoy a finely crafted piece of music, regardless of its sonic lineage or background.

    It is one of those genius one-off songs. KLF were apparently a collective that eventually invaded the south-pole and set up a radical democracy there.

    Oh Lordt! Such a great collaboration, and HUGE club hit… plus all the DJ remixes. Although duets and collaborations weren’t new, it was somewhat rare to have them across genres and generational age differences…
    Presently, it’s been ramping up that artists, especially iconic artists like Miley Cyrus and Kelly Clarkson have throwing out “covers” to the point that NOW, fans are begging for an album of covers only… that’s when you know that that artist could sing the phone book (do those still exist?!?!) and get a Grammy!
    I mean, look at Dolly Parton - there can’t be anyone who doesn’t respect her and would pee their pants to sing with her… The Queen 👸🏼 of Country Music, who was just inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame said, “but I’m a country singer; I guess I’ll have to make a rock and roll album now”, and if you’ve been following the news, she did! It getting released soon…
    I think fans “expect” what we’ve been given, yet those iconic artists have been changing things up, demanding more creative freedom - THANK GOD! Tired of being pigeonholed by record labels, wanting to sing whatever genre they want, often having multiple genres on the same album…
    Here are two examples. A heavy metal band, Metallica, collaborating with Miley on vocals, and several icons like Elton John, Yo Yo Ma, and others, creating this brilliant cover of “Nothing Else Matters”, and you can really get lost in the brilliance each artist’s feature throughout, with a captivating video… ua-cam.com/video/DqoQY9bobow/v-deo.html Please react to this one and see if you can pinpoint each’s contribution; it’s amazing!
    Another surprise is this one, which would be a great reaction from you… I listen/watch it when I need to be simply “taken away” and decompress… I know you appreciate vocals, but how about in Italian?!?! Such a beautiful, calming masterpiece (IMO) that might surprise any Ariana Grande fan; singing in Italian, opera, with Andrea Bocelli … the orchestration and vocals are sublime! And, a hint of that “Disney” vibe I’d commented about on Donna Summers “All Through the Night” reaction… I just love great vocals, the genre doesn’t matter… if they can “touch me” and give me goosebumps, I’m in! ua-cam.com/video/Z8SYtmvEI9U/v-deo.html … AND a bonus? Learn to sing in Italian using the “Lyrics” video version… that’s how I learned! 😁
