Swings and Roundabouts is the only album by the British dance music duo Shanks & Bigfoot, released on 31 July 2000.[5] The album contains the 1999 hit single "Sweet Like Chocolate", which reached No. 1 in the UK as well as being a top 10 hit in Australia and New Zealand.[6] Despite the success of its two singles, the album failed to break the top 75 of the UK Albums Chart.
Released a year after the runaway success of "Sweet Like Chocolate", the follow-up single "Sing-A-Long" failed to meet popular expectation, reaching No. 12 on the UK Singles Chart. The majority of the female vocals for the album were provided by Terri Walker.[7]
