"Superfly Guy" is a song by British dance music act S'Express, released as the second single from their debut album, Original Soundtrack (1988). [1] The song was a hit on the charts in Europe and reached number five on the UK singles charts in August 1988. [2]
Critical reception
James Hamilton from Record Mirror wrote in his dance column, "Chugging and thumping 117+1⁄2-0bpm percussive jiggly thudder with chanting girls, wailing guys, dialogue samples and various breaks, quite bright but monotonous and less catchy than their number one." [3]
