The Resume

    (1979-1985)
    Formed in Großenkneten, Germany
    Members were:
    Stephan Remmler - vocals
    Gert Krawinkel - guitar
    Peter Behrens - drums
    Recorded 'Da Da Da'
    Full English title is 'Da Da Da I Don't Love You You Don't Love Me Aha Aha Aha'
    Full German title is 'Da Da Da ich lieb dich nicht du liebst mich nicht aha aha aha'
    Song made famous in the U.S. from a 1997 Volkswagen TV commercial campaign

Why they might be annoying:

    They are considered one hit wonders in the U.K. and no hit wonders in the U.S. since the song didn't crack the Top 40.
    They sometimes capitalized TRIO for no apparent reason.
    Between 1981-86 five albums were released incluing 'Bye Bye/Trio And Error' which contained 'Da Da Da' but never made an impact beyond Germany.
    They produced and starred in a short movie 'Drei Gegen Drei' ('Three Against Three') where they played doubles of themselves trying to kill each other, which was a miserable failure financially.
    Money matters caused Behrens to quit in 1985 and the band disintegrated.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They were part of an early 80s NDW (New German Wave) genre that combined new wave and punk with German lyrics, with some artists like Nena and Falco finding chart success.
    'Da Da Da' hit #2 on both U.K. and German singles charts in 1982.
    When the famed Volkswagen ad hit TV airwaves, the U.S. got hooked and CD singles and minis were released, adding to their pockets 12 years after breaking up.
    Pepsi later added to their pocketbooks when they sponsored ads of the song with Christina Aguilera in spots and David Beckham featured in a 2006 FIFA World Cup promo.
