Tom Tom Club
Tom Tom Club was a New Wave band, a side project set up by Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz who were also members of the Talking Heads. They began recording albums in 1981 and have enjoyed some success with hits such as "Genius of Love " and "Wordy Rappinghood ". The former song has been used as bumper music by the radio talk show host Jim Bohannon, due to the repeated chanting of his name, Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon. "Genius of Love " was also sampled and reinterpreted by Mariah Carey's very popular song "Fantasy".
Tom Tom Club have made an appearance in the Talking Heads concert film, Stop Making Sense.
Frantz and Weymouth also worked with the Gorillaz in 2001 and 2002.
