90's one-hit wonder

The original song is from 1952 by Perez Prado (a Cuban-Mexican bandleader) .  Perez was known as the 'King of the Mambo,' in fact; he recorded several mambos, he would simply number them and "Mambo No 5" was one of eight  in a series.

This was the only hit for The Verve, however: it seemed to keep on hitting as Nike used this in commercials. Allen Klein got royalties from those.

Gregg Alexander (Singer/Songwriter) wrote, "You Get What You Give", about people who aspire to be famous, and Gregg's negative attitude  toward the world of "celebrity." He's saying that people should just be themselves instead of their aspiration to be someone else...

Canada's native Tal Bachman is the son of  Randy Bachman, who is famous for his work in The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive. "She's So High" is Tal's first single - his sound is far more mellow than his father's.

"Are You Jimmy Ray?" peaked at #13 on the U.S Billboard charts and #13 on the U.K. singles chart, it sold over 500,000 copies in the U.S. alone.

Another song where sampling was put into play, as you listen to "More, More, More" by The Andrea True Connection you'll hear what I mean.
