Ok, you guys forgot about one big one.

I'm not sure about in the States, but in Canada this band had a huge hit...

Chumba-Wumba.


Remember that "I get knocked down, but i get up again, you're never gonna keep me down.." song?

What the hell happened to them?

See, when you're a foreign band and you want to hit it big, you either have to have a normal name or extreme talent. Hence, Coldplay and Radiohead are big. Chumbawumba's Tubthumping was ok, but it was doomed to one hit wonder status. It was the song that you sing in a bar, before Andrew WK came around.
