Apparently, they're planning a comeback. Not sure though. -_-

I remember another one. The Baha men with 'Who let the dogs out'. Urrrggggg...

I think they released another semi-successful singel but now they are gone.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Tommy Tutone. "Ohhh, eight-six-seven-five-three-oh-niiiii-iiine..." Very catchy.

Apparently after that song was released, a woman who happened to have that phone number (I think in Florida, unintentionally) ended up received 20 calls a day from random curious people. Heh...

Oooh, speaking of catchy tracks...anyone remember Eiffel 65 with their really massive hit "Blue (Da Ba Dee)", and Darude with the no-singing-but-still-went-to-#1-here "Sandstorm"? I know they've both got other tracks, but that seemed to be their only big songs.

[edit] Bleh, I weirded the title in Blue.

Oh course I remember blue (and their trippy music video). I have Sandstorm on my harddrive, its very popular amongst dance clubs.

I loved that song (although the time I first heard that song I didn't fully grasp what that song was about) Hellicopter, their second single off that same album wasn't bad either (it wasn't played that much after Flagpole Sitta)

Oooh, saw a show that mentioned quite a few good ones. The Cardigans, Lisa Loeb, Sir Mix-a-Lot (*snorts*), The Verve, Marcy Playground, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, Deee-lite...

Ah...the 90s had its share of good stuff. :P

private helicopter is the worst song on that album. that's the problem with a lot of bands: they pick bad songs to be their singles.
