I recently started listening to Tubthumping after comparing another album to it, and honestly I cannot believe nothing has come of this band. I knew just about nothing about them when I was listening to them, but looking back it appears they had some history. Re-listening, they were kind of ahead of their time.

Any Euros have some insight here?

Notable tracks from said album (NOT including Tubthumper, fuck that song):
Mary, Mary
Amnesia
Drip Drip Drip

[jaxword]

I guess they couldn't get up again.

these guys have 17 albums.. wtfffffff

[daviyoung]

They threw some water over a member of parliament and disappeared back underground to rewrite the cookbook. Can't remember details, it was a long time ago. They're probably still playing pubs in Camden.

kissing the night away

It's pissing the night away.

[Mistle]

Whatever happened to the Baha Men?

[Kelthink]

They were (are?) a very political band, which never fits well with the media's cosy music image. Much like Billy Bragg. I liked them a lot more when I found that out.

1 hit wonder that still makes music

[Sylver]

One-hit wonder.

[Jaffaboy]

Ahead of their time? They're pretty damn 90's if you ask me.

[Forkball]

They took a whiskey drink, they took a vodka drink, then passed out for fifteen years.

yes, but WHERE?

[zomgbbqftw]

They got knocked down, but couldn't get up again.

Tubthumping is my absolute hate song. It makes me sick just thinking about it.

[Dead Man]

Always makes me sad that people only remember that song, possibly the shittiest thing they ever wrote.

Chumbawamba - Revolution (1985)

Chumbawamba - the day the nazi died

Chumbawamba - Her Majesty

GIVE THE ANARCHIST A CIGARETTE!!!

They are punks, OP. They are not a pop group which needs a constant string of hits.

[Machine]

Shit. Just reading the band's name in the thread title made me think of that godawful song. I really hate that damn song.

[dvdjamm]

Whatever happened to Midnight Oil?

[Wubby]

I read the band name on this thread and I remember I really hated whatever it was that they sang. But for the life of me I can't remember how the song went or what it sounded like. This is one case where I'm definitely not going to satisfy my curiosity.

Whatever happened to Midnight Oil?

dissapeared in the redneck wonderland

[linkboy]

They turned into a folk band. Some of they're newer albums are actually pretty good.

[Gazzawa]

One-hit wonder.

came to post this.

Whatever happened to Midnight Oil?

Had a string of successful albums, retired, and the signer became a federal politician?

They got knocked down but didn't get back up again.

[Captain_Spanky]

ITT a bunch of people make the same, terrible, joke.

They're still about but moved in a more actuation/folky direction for a while. As mentioned they're still very politically active. Their older stuff is well worth checking too, I love this track

Mouthful Of Shit

[Derrick01]

They went the way most 90s bands did. Got their 1 popular song and faded away.

[subversus]

They went the way most bands did. Got their 1 popular album and faded away.

fixed for truth

also as punks they never cared about popularity. The same way Nirvana never did.

[Dead Man]

They went the way most 90s bands did. Got their 1 popular song and faded away.

At least read the damn thread man.

[Captain_Spanky]

They went the way most 90s bands did. Got their 1 popular song and faded away.

That's exactly the opposite of what happened. Even wikipedia could tell you that.

[itwasTuesday]

Pissed their career away?

[MisterNugNug]

Pissed their career away?

We kept them down?

The real question... What Happpened to JESUS JONES!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rlQqWbp7rY

He watched the world wake up from history....
then took a nap for a few decades.

[itwasTuesday]

AHHHHHHHHHHH


Hope someone finds a beavis and butthead watching a chumbawamba video online.

I remember that song.
I wish I didn't.
Also, fucking EMF is in the suggestions.
Unbelievable.

[Chichikov]

One-hit wonder.

Well, they made one song that became mainstream success, but they existed 15 years before that song and 15 years since it.

You should read about them a bit, they're not what your run of the mill one hit wonders.

[Seraphinianus]

blew my mind when I found out they were actually punk anarchists with a million albums

[SMT]

I remember Chumbawamba was on one of the YTV soundtracks I had, they were pretty good, around the same time as the Pokémon T.V. Series.

[FStop7]

Whatever happened to Midnight Oil?

The singer is now an MP in Australia.

I love their music, I think it still holds up well.

[apocalidiot]

Do you usually say stupid shit or is a thing you only do on the internet?

Well I'll be damned. I guess between that and Google we don't really need GAF then, do we? No one cares about silly discussion anyhow.

Jesus Jones and EMF were pretty much the way people thought popular music was going until Nirvana changed the landscape.
