In the early part of the 21st century there were a number of bands who were perhaps more famous for their weird names than their actually music. Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster were one such band. I remember hearing about them at the time, but would struggle to name any of their records.
They had 5 Top 40 hits in total and this was the final one of those. The highest they reached was number 25 with their 3rd Top 40 hit "Mister Mental" which would have been helped by its appearance in the film "Shaun of the Dead".
This record was taken from the same album "The Royal Society". It was followed by a 6 year gap in new music which was the same time indie became hugely popular. By the time they released music again in 2010 the popularity of indie music from a chart perspective had declined.
