"Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta)" is a song by The Artful Dodger featuring Craig David on vocals. Released in the UK in 1999 and reaching No.2, it was David's first chart success and is also considered by many to be the point when the Garage genre had crossed into the mainstream.

The melody in the verses was lifted from an older Craig David demo called Last Night which was re-recorded on his debut solo album Born To Do It. A slightly different version of the song, simply titled as "Rewind", featured on "Born to Do It" which was credited solely as Craig David and contained no vocals but David's.
The single is notable for being the first record signed by influential label Relentless Records and as such the one to first establish the imprint as a pioneering force within mainstream music.[1]
It is from this song that Avid Merrion's cult comedy series Bo' Selecta! took its name.
The single reached number two on the UK singles chart.[2]
