    They are considered a one hit wonder on the international music scene.
    Their band name was abbreviated to M+M outside of their native Canada.
    The other band members left the group due to creative differences with Martha & Mark.
    They chose their band's name as a way to distance themselves from the frequently dark nicknames used from other bands in the local music scene.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Their band's name was intended to be used temporarily, but it caught on with audiences, so it stuck.
    Martha Johnson and Mark Gane became a couple and eventually married.
    Martha & Mark opted to shut the band down so they could raise their family away from the limelight.
