The Resume

(1978- )
Formed in Southern California
Janice-Marie Johnson (bass)
Hazel Payne (guitar/keyboards)
Famous for the 1978 disco anthem 'Boogie Oogie Oogie'

Why they might be annoying:

They are a two-hit wonder.
To squeeze more life out of 'Boogie Oogie Oogie,' a Spanish version was recorded.
The song was used in a 1999 Burger King commercial.
Due to a publishing dispute, the group lost all rights to their second hit, an English translation of Kyu Sakamoto's 'Sukiyaki.'

Why they might not be annoying:

They were awarded the 'Best New Artist' Grammy in 1979.
'Boogie Oogie Oogie' was inspired by a gig at a military base. The men in the audience reacted negatively to a pair of women leading a band.
Both Hazel and Janice-Marie continue to be successful, performing on the oldies disco circuit.
