About:
|
Singing Fools is the world's first non-performing musical group, established by Kevin Murphy and Tim Dunlop in Ottawa, Canada in November 1982. The duo rocked the conservative Canadian music scene with the release of their first 7-inch indie single, "The Bum Rap", which made history as the first Canadian rap single ever released! In 1983, Singing Fools followed up its underground success with the release of "CRUISIN'84", a 7-inch "EP" featuring the world's first nuclear trucking ballad, "The MX Express" ("...I'm on an 18-wheel mission for Uncle Sam, even though I'm never exactly sure just where the Hell I am...") and "Babylon Breakdown", a ska-flavoured dance ditty that boasted a cameo trumpet solo by none other than Herb Alpert's lesser-known little brother, Ramone. That bull's blood connection would prove "instrumental" in 1984 when the Fools released their unprovoked unilateral nuclear dancercise hit, "The Apocalypso", featuring Roger Ramjet, Winston Churchill, Ronnie Reagan (whom UK's Sounds deemed "the real Grand Master Flash) and a host of Cold War cut-ups, tripping the light fantastic to the doomsday beat of a funk-pop classic ("...keep your eyes upon the skies..."). A&M Records quickly signed the Fools to an exclusive recording contract in November 1995 only to drop them like a hot nuclear warhead when label-mate, Bryan Adams, complained that they were making fun of his album covers....In 1986, the Fools rebounded yet again with the release of their six-track "mini-LP", "Call Me Lucky"...and the rest....is history. Except that many of their 1980s ditties now rank as nuggets of prescience in the pantheon of pop culture prophesy.
