One Hit Wonders: Total Coelo (spice girls in trash bags)

Photobucket
Much like NSync did to New Kids on the Block, so did The Spice Girls to Total Coelo, taking a poorly executed attempt at pop, refine it, hire better talent and make billions.
Not that I don't love this Kiwi import from 1982. I think their one hit I Eat Cannibals is an addicting little slice of faux-jungle pop. And its about eating people for some unknown reason!



Total C never even did a full CD. They had one more single and then made a compilation of the 2 singles, Bsides, and other unreleased crap. Talk about embracing your one-hittness. I actually own their "greatests hits". Much like T'Pau and Dream Academy, don't soil your memory by delving deeper than I Eat Cannibals.
