"Favourite Things" is a song by British hip hop and R&B group Big Brovaz from their 2002 debut album, Nu-Flow. The album was re-released for a third time only six weeks after the previous re-issue to include "Favourite Things", which was not contained on either of the previous two issues of the album. The track was released as the album's third single (second in Australia) on 5 May 2003. The song is based on "My Favourite Things" from the musical The Sound of Music.[2]

"Favourite Things" became Big Brovaz' third UK top-10 hit as well as their highest-charting single, peaking at number two and spending three months inside the top 75 of the UK Singles Chart. It also entered the top 10 in Australia, reaching number three to match the peak of the group's debut single "Nu Flow". The video for the song consists mainly of the group at a funfair with bright lights and a merry-go-round.

Background

[edit | edit source]

The song is based on a popular song from the musical The Sound of Music, "My Favourite Things".[2] The single follows the same basic tune of the original song, but lyrically as the "favourite things" are focused on expensive and glamorous objects that the group wanted, such as "diamonds and rubies and crazy bow Bentleys, Gucci dresses and drop top Kompressors". This is in contrast to the original song that typically focusses on thoroughly simple and non-glamorous pleasures. The group also recorded a version of the original "My Favourite Things" song, including it as a bonus hidden track on their debut album and also featuring it on the CD singles of "Favourite Things".[1]
