’The Girl Next Door’ was an alias used by
M&S; the companion project of
The Guy Next Door. Both projects were originally released on the Strictly Rhythm label in 1996, with the tracks Deeper and Justify.
In 2000,
M&S re-used this alias for ’Salsoul Nugget’, a funky house cut composed of replayed samples taken from Everyman by
Double Exposure (1976) and of Hit and Run by
Loleatta Holloway (1977). The title is a reference to Salsoul Records, the label from which both tracks originally come from. After a significant success in clubs, the track was re-released commercially in 2001 with new vocal mixes performed by Natasha Brice.
Although the sample of ’Everyman’ sounds like If you wanna right the rumble with me babe all through the night, the original lyrics, once looped, makes no sense (If you wanna / that the road would be paved all smooth and nice...).
