UK Number 40s: Mumm-Ra - What Would Steve Do (2007)

 


There's a connection to M People with this record. Musically there's no similarity at all, M People were a dance pop act of the 90s and Mumm-Ra were an indie band of the 21st century. 

Following the end of M People though, the M from M People Mike Pickering went onto to work as a record label A&R and it was him who signed Mumm-Ra to Colombia Records.

This was their debut single that failed to reach the Top 40 when first released in 2006. It did however succeed when reissued in 2007 and became their only Top 40 hit to date. The band split the following year.
