Chumba Womba - A Half Sampled Jumpy, Shouty Tragedy

Don't call them one-hit wonders. And don't you dare try to knock them down.

This week, Rob's covering the career of the British anaracho-punks Chumbawamba, including their massive hit "Tubthumping," which took over the world for a spell in 1997. Later, Rob's joined by journalist and critic Dorian Lynskey to try to contextualize the hard-to-contextualize band.

Preorder Rob's new book, 'Songs That Explain the '90s,' here:
