From the singles boxset:
'No Good Advice was written by Brian Higgins and Miranda Cooper when they were known as Moonbaby and were signed to London Records in the late 1990s. The band didn't take off and No Good Advice was one of the tunes that summed up the relationship with London Records turning sour- it also took on a special significance years later with Girls Aloud thrown into the mix. The song's chorus began rather differently- with the phrase 'I don't like fried rice'. No Good Advice was sung over a rave backing track and it was only when different Xenomania musicians were asked to contribute new backing tracks to the song that the familiar No Good Advice sound took shape'.
