Breakfast At Tiffany's
~ Deep Blue Something ~
Reaching the Top Five at the end of 1995 this well-crafted pop song was in contrast to the group's self-image. These guys from North Texas State considered themselves an alternative band with gothic elements and this early song was a departure. The quartet consisted of Todd Pipes (vocals/bass), his brother Toby (guitar/ vocals), Kirk Tatom (guitar), and John Kirtland (drums). They toured Texas after graduating the University of North Texas, then settled down and began "real life" since their musical career was in doubt.
When this song began to get radio play, Todd Pipes was eventually fired from his job as an English teacher at a private Christian school because parents complained that their children were being educated by a rock & roller. Disillusioned, they didn't get around to recording a follow-up until 2001, by which time their star had passed them by.

Another one hit wonder (and a good one)--Noel Harrison, Windmills of Your Mind, from The Thomas Crown Affair (1968). One an Academy Award.
