Mike Skinner Realises His Rapping Is Rubbish

Mike Skinner has rubbished his own rapping on the B-side of The Streets latest single ‘Prangin Out’ and says he wanted to recall every copy of it.

Skinner says that the track ‘Dreams’ is so bad he made the request to his manger who in turn said no.

Writing on his official website Skinner said: "I just listened back to my b-side on my last single and came to the conclusion that I wasn't clear in my delivery of the words in the chorus."

"So I phoned my manager and told him I wanted to recall all the singles, remove the download from iTunes and ask if all 38 million people with it in their Limewire directory could delete the file and await the new re-mastered version with clearer words."

After the rejection of the request Skinner says he went to bed and had a strange dream that helped him resolve the problem.

"While I was asleep I dreamt that I met Carl Jung and he was giving me a classroom lesson about rapping - also in the room was Claire Rayner, Alan Titchmarsh and Wilma Flintstone who was chatting the ragga which really annoyed me."

"When I woke up, the answer was etched on my mind - write out the words to the chorus on my award winning blog so everyone can understand."

The lyrics are:

My dreams teach me which dreams I need seek/ Reveal the deceits I speak but keep believing/ But dreams, speak in speech meaning squeak to me/ Which is the reason I'm weak to see what I need
