Scissor Sisters

Their 2004 hit "Take Your Momma" is about getting someone's momma drunk on cheap champagne, and doing who knows what next. I've never sung the song to a toddler (even though it is a pretty fun song), but last time I sang it to a college buddy, I never heard from him again. They also made news making a disco version of a Pink Floyd song, which might be more tasteless than this paragraph.

And in case you didn't know, their name is based on a sexual position performed between two women. Use your imagination.

Cracker


"Being with you girl, is like being low, hey hey hey, it's like being stoned." Now that you have that song stuck in your head, you might as well check out the video for "Low," which features one of the best choreographed boxing matches since Rocky vs. Drago.
