"History Repeating" is a song written by Alex Gifford and originally performed by the Propellerheads featuring Shirley Bassey in 1997.
The single was released shortly before the Propellerheads album 'Decksanddrumsandrockandroll' (their only album to date),
released in 1998 by Wall of Sound in Europe and DreamWorks in the US and Japan.
The Propellerheads had previously worked with the James Bond composer David Arnold on the Bond tribute album
Shaken and Stirred: The David Arnold James Bond Project, where they remixed the John Barry composition On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
The track is a fusion of several different styles of big beat, breakbeat and Jazz combined with the powerful vocals of Shirley Bassey.
The sleeve cover, an illustration by Duke D. Jukes takes it's inspiration from classic album sleeves,
such as those used for the Capitol 1959 release No One Cares from Frank Sinatra.
The retro style was also continued with the video, filmed in monochrome, the opening is themed on a TV Jazz show called Jazz 1200 and clearly harks back to the serious music shows of the 1960's. Scenes from the video shoot were included in the Divas are Forever DVD.
