    New Zealand band from the early 90s. Originally called Otara Millionaires Club after the Otara Suburb of Auckland where lead singer Paul Fuemana grew up. Fuemana died in 2010 of a rare neurological disorder aged 40. His brother, also in the band, (in the back of the car in the video) died of a heart attack 5 years earlier, also aged 40

    One hit wonder from New Zealand. OMC (Otara Millionaires Club) charted "How Bizarre" which peaked @ #4 on Billboard's Hot 100 AIRPLAY chart in 1997. "HB" debuted on the 4/26/97 Billboard chart and stayed for 51 weeks!

      It was #1 on Billboard's Mainstream Top 40 in August '97, due to the amount of radio airplay it received. It never charted on the regular Billboard Hot 100 because it was never released as a commercially available single in the US, which was a chart-eligibility requirement at the time. It was a BMI-certified "Million Airplay" song two years in a row.

    Fabulous Kiwi band with a great vibing song to just make you feel good. Tragedy behind it when lead singer Pauly Fuemana and his older brother Phil both died in 2005 and 2010 respectively.

He said that the phrase “how bizarre” was something he and his friends would say whenever they encountered something strange or unexpected.

    I was a Canadian on a teaching exchange in Australia in 1996, and this song was popular at the time. One day this came on the radio and I quickly called my sister in Toronto (on a landline of course) and put the phone to the radio. She loved this tune and it was a full six months before this song hit in Canada; when it did she was so excited because she already knew it. Memories!!

Brian Setzer Orchestra's cover of Louis Prima's "Jump Jive and Wail" is super cool. Also "Zoot Suit Riot" by the Cherry Poppin' Daddies (they did two videos for this, one early one and one with an MTV budget for when the song hit the charts) or "Brown Derby Jump." Then there's Big Bad Voodoo Daddy with "You & Me & the Bottle Makes Three." Now come on, you can't say you're not curious about these band names and song titles 😄

      Colin James (a Canadian artist) had an entire album of jump-blues and swing tunes during that time. It was called "Colin James and the Little Big Band" IIRC. Fantastic album. He's better known for his 80s rock songs which were also pretty awesome, especially "Voodoo Thing", "Chicks, Cars, and the 3rd World War", and "I Just Came Back To Say Goodbye".

    Great to see a Kiwi song on this channel! This song was definitely a vibe, and peak 90s for us here in Australia and New Zealand. Got so much air time on the radio when i was growing up and still does.
    Unfortunately it wss a bit of a one-hit wonder for this band. They made a decent amount of music, but this was really their only huge international hit. The band came from a bit of a rough background and actually had somewhat of a sad story. You can see an interesting doco about it here:
    czcams.com/video/-bZxrQPmPKg/video.html
    EDIT: if you want me to come right out and say it, I'll say it. Probably what's so unique about this song to you guys is the fact that the band is Maori. You've probably never heard that particular cultural influence come through in a big hit song before. Like even the lead singer's unusual cadence and accent is particularly Maori. That's the whole thing here. There's a bit of a mariachi influence and some general Pacific sounds, but the band are all Maori from Auckland (OMC stands for Otara Millionaires Club) and you can definitely hear that in their accent/voices if you know what to listen for. It's a very unique mix for sure - no matter whether you like it or not, it was obviously something a bit unique and different. I think both Jay and Amber reacted to it more or less how i would have expected, given how out there I was expecting that it would seem to them. I think the Pacific is very overlooked by the rest of the world.
    BTW if you want to hear something similarly catchy but of an indigenous Australian persuasion, maybe try some Yothu Yindi - particularly "Treaty" or "Timeless Land". Be warned that while it will be 90s, it won't be as multicultural and Pacific, though.

      SOABPBWMIMH is such a great example of a creative, interesting and unusual 90's song. Also the name Primitive Radio Gods. My 18 year old (Gen Alpha?) daughter just loves to see the names come up when I have the 80's and 90's channels on the satellite radio (especially when it's focused on "alternative" music of both decades). I guess it doesn't strike me as odd having frown up with them. But, yeah...

    Greetings from New Zealand, thanks for listening to one of the most successful songs to come from here. There is a great wealth of off beat and odd music that has come from NZ, perhaps try some Split Enz, The Dudes, The Exponents, Dragon, or perhaps some Fat Freddys Drop (I recommend anything from the Based on a True Story album, or better still, listen to it all), or one of the many 'Dunedin sound' bands of the 1970's/80's, The Clean or The Chills. There are also some very good contemporary bands like Six Sixty, Shihad and of course Lorde to name a few.

    This was played on the hour, every hour on multiple radio stations for 1997-98.. and it never got old. I remember an interview with OMC on MTV, apparently everyone thought they were a Latino band, and he'd be like "Naw mate, I'm Maori." = blank stare. "I'm a Kiwi." = blank. "...From New Zealand." = "Ohhhhhhhh."
    From the Maoris I spoke with in New Zealand, they're kind of proud/ambivalent of OMC, they made millions and blew it all within a couple of years partying around the world "But at least they had fun."

    The 90s were such a great time for music. It wasn’t all boy bands and bubblegum pop singers. I remember Canada alone produced some great music, including Amanda Marshall, a soul rock singer who had such hits as Let It Rain, Birmingham, Believe In You and Fall From Grace. Her live performances in the 90s were epic and she’s back after a 15 year hiatus where she was screwed over by her record company. If you dig old school hip hop, Maestro Fresh Wes is one of the best to come out of Canada. Let Your Backbone Slide is legendary.

    I heard it’s about a road trip too, where the journey and sights along the way were just so random and cool and just weird. So it’s just trying to get that vibe into a song.
    “The inspiration for “How Bizarre” came from a road trip that Fuemana took with his brother in the late 80s. They drove from Auckland to the small town of Paeroa, which is known for its giant L&P bottle (L&P being a popular New Zealand soft drink). Along the way, they saw all sorts of strange and interesting sights that would later inspire the lyrics of “How Bizarre.””

Here are a just a few: "Walking On The Sun" by Smash Mouth, "TubThumping" by Chumbawumba, "Your Woman" by White Town, "Tomorrow" by silverchair, "El Scorcho" by Weezer (yes, I bring this one up again 😂), "Passenger" by Powderfinger, "Calypso" by Spiderbait, "Military Strongmen" by Jebediah, and "Cosmic Girl" by Jamiroquai.
