Chumbawamba
Trivia
2
Chumbawamba's sudden fame and subsequent return to obscurity led to a myth that the song 'Tubthumping' itself was cursed to ensure the band would never have another hit.
The name came from a dream had by one of the band's founding members. It has no specific meaning, which the anarchist collective liked, as it could be filled with whatever meaning listeners projected onto it.
