When the PJ and Duncan hit begins to blare from speakers, Poundland staff have to ‘rhumble’ and tidy up the shelves.

Bargain hunters have welcomed hearing the retro chart-topper on the airwaves, oblivious to the reason behind it.

One tweeted: "I'm in Poundland, PJ and Duncan are pumping at quite frankly impressive volume and tbh I'm ready for a 1994 disco in the BEST kind of way.”

Another added: “Was in Poundland and @antanddec’s Let’s Get Ready To Rhumble came on. I was singing along. Was well good :D.”
