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
How sad.
The Otara suburb is/was one of the poorest suburbs, making the name of the band more ironic.
Ya, it was tongue in cheek ..That area about the most depressed ,poor in Aukland .
So sad😢
Really? Sad, but how bizarre!
one of the other kinda different song from the early 90's was "Justified & Ancient" by The KLF featuring Tammy Wynette. That one was a surprising hit, and also nothing expected.
Yes! You guys need to check out Tammy wynette - Stand by your Man the studio version first to get an idea. And then check out justified and ancient. Some of the country music fans we're a little upset when Tammy wynette did that. Saying she was making a mockery of country Music.
aw heck yes. A country legend lending a hand for a group trying to break through to a US audience. FAB!!!!
The lead singer died in 2010....it was a hit ...back in the day.
"All abourd for Mu Mu land..."
I grew up in NZ and this song was a massive hit in NZ and Australia:)
I also hope you give Crowded House another go, Neil Finn is much revered in NZ and Australia and you wont regret going down that Rabbit Hole with Split Enz and Crowded House Bands he played a major part of in the 80s and 90s.
I second that request!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
"Better Be Home Soon" is a great one from Crowded House.
@@sanzoftatooine I love that song (official video)
@@sanzoftatooine I second that one….as well as Distant Sun ❤️
Neil Finn for the win!!
Some more 90s quirk for you - "Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba, "Your Woman" by White Town, "The Impression That I Get" by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and for the ultimate in quirk that may just make you a bit teary-eyed, "Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen" by Baz Luhrmann.
Omg, Tubthumping!!!!
Love all these songs
They would love Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen)!
@@123dallasstars123 I think Amber would love Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen) because she likes quotes. It may even make her emotional. I like the version with Rozalla but I don’t know if it is the original version.
@@helindove2237 I thought of Amber when I was listening to it for the first time in 20 years.
In interviews, Fuemana explained that the lyrics were not meant to have a literal meaning, but rather to capture the feeling of a wild and crazy road trip. He said that the phrase “how bizarre” was something he and his friends would say whenever they encountered something strange or unexpected.
Yes, I imagine a trip to Las Vegas or something!
I loved this song wen it came out, if u haven't listened to Mr.Wendel by Arrested Development u should ❤❤❤
Also from Arrested Developement, Tennesse and Everyday People.
@@pattyduke3079 and Mr. Wendall
@@pattyduke3079 YES! Everyday people!
You’re reliving my teens/early 20s lately, and this 46 year old is here for it! ❤
Yup
Summer of 96 vibes and memories are fully unlocked and engaged
@@REDHOTREACTIONS oh to be 19 again ❤️
It was the worst AND BEST of times for this 45 year old. This quirky ass little song brings back great memories and I love it
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!
THEY SUCKED
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. Music style here in New Zealand is known as Urban Pacifica, and this band and the brothers are regarded as icons of the local music industry. Just wonderful music to chill out to.
Its rare for a New Zealand artist to make such a big sudden impact on the charts but OMC did it with a catchy simple song. Lorde had a similar success in 2013 with "Royals"
A few more great songs from the 90's. Chumbawamba - "Tubthumping". Hansons - "MMMBop." Aqua - "Barbie Girl". And finally, Lou Bega - "Mambo No. 5".
I have loved this song and the album since it first came out. A unique blend of polynesian and western sounds from a native New Zealand group. Yes! I'm now 67.
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!!
I had my first mobile phone in 1996, they were pretty cheap by then.
@@HalfdeadRider$100 from bell Canada Nokia 56xx, but $500 if you broke the year agreement.
I remember all 😂
@@synaestesia-bg3ew that was expensive if that is monthly. I'm UK, I think I got my first contract phone from car phone warehouse. Cost only £17 per month, you pay for the phone more than the service these days. It was thin phone for it's time, but quite tall with an aerial as they used to have then. I had an extendable aerial on one of my early phones 😂
My first pay as you go phone was in '98 I believe (possibly' 99), a little Motorola on Vodafone.
@@HalfdeadRider That was in Canada, we are dominated by 3 giant wireless companies( Bell, Videotron, Rogers) who fix the price in order to maximize their profits.
Even today, here in Canada, you won't get a decent modern phone without paying $60 Canadian per months with a contract.
It is improving after public uproar but it's slow because they are powerful allies of the government .
Something similar happened in the USA with AT&T , Verizon and others.
@@synaestesia-bg3ew yea that's messed up if its not top of the range phones at $60 per month, with unlimited data and calls too.
I always loved this song. He has such a unique voice, he has the crooner vibe, a horns section... What more could you want from a one hit wonder.
And then what sounds like an accordion right after the chorus 😂
The song was inspired by a road trip that Fuemana and his brother took in the '80's, along the way they saw all kinds of things that would end up helping create the song. As always, love your reactions and especially when the chair dancing starts, you two are wonderful.
I had "forgotten" this song, yet when i say "how bizarre" about something, i always sing it this way😂😂 some things just stick with you, i guess!
Classic one hit wonder, instantly memorable, total ear worm, and you can still sing along along years later. Now that’s bizarre. ✌️
IT SUCKED
Yep, bizarre one hit wonder, dancing ear worms.
Describes the 90’s pretty well.
“On the Run” and “Right On” - another 2 big hits from OMC. These guys weren’t one hit wonders.
@@rickm3779 big hits where?
you can just call it fun music. the rhythm just put you in a mello mood.
This song was HUGE in the 90s clubs. Such a fun hit!
This one sent me off on a bit of a tangent. In the lyrics of this song is the phrase "Destination Unknown". That reminded me of the song "Destination Unknown" from Missing Persons [early 80s]. They're another group you haven't found yet. Their other most noteworthy songs are "Words" and "Walking in L.A.".
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My hands down favorite 90’s song. My daughter was about Luca’s age or a tad older and one day we’re cruising down the road, the song is playing on the radio, and I hear this little voice from the back seat “how bizarre, how bizarre” and then a little giggle. It became our cruising song - Just hers and mine. Thanks for the memories!
You really wanna do late '90s, you have to check out the brief neo-swing movement that just happened to happen, lol. 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 😄
Great suggestions. Neither sound had longevity - not because they were bad; maybe just because there weren’t many artists who could do that modern-classic sound.
Kinda after the Movie SWINGERS came out circa 1986
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".
I'd add Squirrel Nut Zippers
Oh yes, the Brian Setzer Orchestra...jump jive and wail with fun , phenomenal swing dancing in the cideo
Sung by Polynesians from New Zealand. That gave it a different but good vibe. The song shot to no1 in many countries.
Such a sad story but this song is always a hilarious breath of fresh air. It reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. "You wanna know the rest? Hey...buy the rights!" is one of my favorite lines. For other stuff in this vein, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Cracker, Sublime...just fun fun stuff.
That’s my favorite line too! Loved this song.
Omg, Squirrel Nut Zippers!!!! I think J and Amber would love the whole swing revival moment going on in the 90s-- Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy too!
Yes! I use that line when somebody asks too many questions - love it!
@@mamatay7 And don't forget the Brian Setzer Orchestra.
This spawned my friends and my favorite saying! We always say "How Bizarre!How Bizarre!" Whenever anything is strange. And of course we have to say it in THE VOICE! Love it! And to be honest, I always remembered it as an 80's song. Kinda forgot it was a 90's song
Same here, but is it a re-take on Sir Monte Rock the lll's similar song of the 70's , can't remember it's name but kinda remember the same rhythm.
Me too! Even to this day if someone was to say bazaar I will reply “how bazaar how bazaar “ 😁
We do this weekly in our office everytime someone says "bizarre"
Didn't expect to see this one hit wonder from my home, New Zealand. It wasn't really my thing back then, but, still cool to see it here.
I grew up in the 70s and 80s and really couldn't find much music in the 90s that I really liked but whenever this song and Macarena (another fun 90s song) came on while driving, I couldn't help but be in a good mood.
Great!! I've heard this song hundreds of times, but knew nothing about the band. I always thought they were Brits, because his voice reminds me of Ray Davies, but they were from New Zealand. Great song!!
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:
ruclips.net/video/-bZxrQPmPKg/видео.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.
I think y’all might be ready for Chumbawamba “Tubthumping”
It’s still haunts me from the 90s 😮😂
I am literally blown away. Last night, right after listening to yesterday's reactions, the first song I listened to was How Bizarre and said Jay and Amber would love this song. Bam! Here it is! Wow!
Definitely one-hit wonder and not a tune that's difficult to forget...🎤👍
or " a tune that's difficult to forget"
I love the line "Pele preaches words of comfort. Zina just hides her eyes." And the mariachi style horns really make this song stand out. "Wanna know the rest? Hey, buy the rights!"
R.I.P. Pauly Fuemana..Taken way too young..Thanks for ALL you gave us..Gone but definitely not forgotten. 🙏❤️
I still think about this song!
“Destination un-know-n!” 🥰
I loved the first verse where the cop pulls them over just so he can admire the car! It’s just a series of things that happened along a drive. The aging circus that advertises elephants and monkeys but they’ve all died, but hey, the clowns are still here! It’s funny how many if the words of this song I remembered! 🤦🏻
You had some bangers of 90s tunes lately. May I suggest "Tubthumping" by the band Chumbawamba (you will love the horn solos), "Cotton Eye Joe" by the Swedish Eurodance band RedNex, or "Justifed and Ancient" featuring country legend Tammy Wynette and the English Techno band The KLF.
This song always satisfies...It will stick with you for awhile, as well. The 90s were a fantastic time for music, agree. Another one to check out is US3 - 'Cantaloop'. Thank you for sharing this one!
R.I.P Paul Fuemana.
Talofa e. 🙏🏼
INDEED . RIP . Left a classic though .
A lot of 90s songs have a nod to the stylings of the 60s. Which makes an old hippie like me really enjoy many of the songs of the 90s. I suggest Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand by the Primitive Radio Gods, which is kinda philosophical but also a groove.
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...

Okay. I'll stop. This is just a sampling of band names on my Spotify playlist. I'll be 51 in a few weeks. How about some of my fellow Gen X'ers back me up. Who knows music from any or all of the above. Give me a shout out!
RSR gang, you're the best! Keep on being you and doing what you do. You always bring a smile to my face (even when you're disappointed in the song your reacting to).
It's a bit of a long song/band name to type out but that song has always been worth it.
90's they weren't afraid to be "Cringy" as kids say today, they just put out music that they felt and didn't matter if it touched a nerve or spoke out about horrible things happening in the world.The music of the 2000's has nothing on the 90's.
This was HUGE in South Africa! I was 18 when it came out! Still puts a smile on my face! 👌🏻🤗🔥
One we all remember! In a fun way. Informer, by Snow, another cool dance groove. Thanks for the smile.
This had been New Zealand's most popular song internationally from its release in '95 onwards - until Lorde showed up with her song 'Royals' in 2013.
Perfect word for the 90s= Eclectic
Amber you got me rolling when you did the singers pose at the end. I love y'all. Y'all and your family always stay blessed and healthy ✝️🙏🛐🕊️
As a New Zealander, I'm hugely proud of Pauly Faumana having a global hit, even if his demons later consumed him. It's never far from memory and being played wherever I go even now. Super cool and catchy ❤
Demons? He had a neurological disease
"I liked it from the beginning, but i couldn't tell you why"
The 90's in a nutshell
It’s huge here in New Zealand. Used by the odd company for their ads and a parody not long after the release of this called “Somebody Stole My Car”
This is one of those songs you know all the words to whether you want to or not. It's not a song you seek out, but you find yourself singing along to it when it finds you. It's just one of those things...lol.
Wow just watching you guys from your reaction videos 2 years ago. I listened to you all for 9 hours today. Love you guys and always , good job.
You gotta do Tubthumping by Chumbawamba. What an upbeat song.
Have y'all reacted to Tubthumping by Chumbawumba? Another 90s unique song.
Omc stands for Otara Millionaire Club ...Otara is the band's home town, from where I'm from, this was indeed a one hit wonder 😆😁
The 90s were a very eclectic decade for music. Just roll with it, ride the wave, and enjoy. Cheers.
I was a manager of a Blockbuster Music during this time. They had that listening station at all stores and they wore the F@#$ outta this song lol.
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.
I heard this song before and I never knew who did it so thank you for playing it
I remember when this song came out. Every time I looked around, it was in my face
I remember reading that the lead guy passed away. I checked, he passed in 2010. Very young.❤
The best thing about the 90's was that all music genres were popular. Everything was accepted and celebrated. Had a ton of One Hit Wonders,though. Steal My Sunshine and this song, were both one hit wonders. Great songs,though.
stream the album. every song is pretty sweet, actually.
@@umji3389Still doesn't mean it wasn't a one hit wonder, it was .
@@brianmcmaster5112 w/e
Born in 1962- I’m a 61 year old punk rock, metal guy. THIS is one of my favorite songs Ever!
4:33 when I was a teenager in the 90’s and we’d cruise around and leave drive-in movies or any other weird moment or party, we’d also get in the car and say “how bizarre?” And then laugh. Lots of random things happened during our teenage and high school years and this was our go-to saying. Our senior sweatshirts (class of 2000) simply said “how bizarre” and the teachers, administration, and parents hates our saying and didn’t understand why we wanted it. But it got our class and all our experiences. “C/o 2000 How Bizarre” was perfect for our class sweatshirt and theme!
After watching this one, yesterday's reaction to Len's "Steal My Sunshine", I feel like I should put forth a few 90's songs recommendations. I was a teenager in the 90's, and that decade established my taste in music that the 80's had only begun to define. 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.
silverchair, Powderfinger, Spiderbait, and Jebediah are all Australian bands
One of the best one hit wonders of the 90s. It’s So unique. Reminds me of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones (The Impression That I Get - The Video Version) A big band feel with a 90s twist. Dicky Barrett is such a strong singer. Definitely one of the best songs of 1997. You have to react to it. One of a kind.
They were Ska. Not big band. Very ska. And very good. Someday I Suppose is a complete Banger!!
@@davidwoolbright3675I said a big band feel, definitely not the big band sound. They knew how to use the horns and percussion with an up to-date sound.
BEST? BEST? THEY SUCKED
They had a ska feel I’m just saying they were ska and not big band. That sound you are hearing is Ska.
Negative. They did not suck. Sorry
The 90’s was an eclectic bag of fun and deep angst…all mixed together! Welcome to the journey of Generation X!
We Gen X had the best culture and music!
Absolutely smashed it today, guys. Three excellent numbers, especially Fredie. Keep 'em cumin'!!!!!
!!!
Love it! Have you done Mambo #5....sooo 90s! Glad you gettn with that vibe y'all!!!
🔥🔥🔥. Y’all are killing it with the 90’s this week. 2 for 2. Keep this 90’s 🚂 rolling! Here are your next 3 request 🙏.
1. Sugar Ray “Every Morning”
2. Third Eye Blind “Semi Charmed Life”
3. Bare Naked Ladies “One Week”
Enjoy😎
"Semi Charmed" is so Spin Doctors....
Love these picks!
They've already reacted to Sugar Ray- Fly. Maybe they should try Every Morning.
Those are catchy as hell, but I think you just listed some of the wort of the 90s.
@@comicdave1962. I missed that video. I am going to check it out now. “Every Morning” is a great one as well. Thanks for letting me know.
RIP Paul Lawrence Fuemana How Bizarre
Brimful of Asha is another one hit wonder you'd probably love.
Now that I am older I can listen to grunge and enjoy it. Somewhere in the mid-90s artist said life isn't so bad and start putting out these happy feel good songs ....... I love them too.
One-hit wonder from New Zealand.
You do realize have one hit in the United States, but they’re successful elsewhere
I never knew they’re from New Zealand. 👍🏻
@@Patric076 technically the name of New Zealand, which is being changed to Aotearoa
When Americans think they’re the planet.
@@ScottPothantruth
For me, I was born in 65 went out in the 1980s. It was kind of in a Nuwave and then the 90s was just like a whole different level! And you just felt that everything in life is going to get better… then 911 happened! Everything changed.
9/11 changed the world far beyond what you get people can appreciate. So much of the sh1t today stems from that and what it spawned.
This was a major cruise song in the 90s lol- “every time I look around it’s in my face!” “You wanna know the rest, buy the rights!” Love it
This is on like, every 90s party mix or pop channel. I never knew who sung it and never saw the video before.
This song always makes me laugh! 😂❤
This whole album is really good…sad he passed away so young.
yeah that to both brothers at such a young age. Even a band member of OMC has died. :(((((((
I also feel that this was a find when MTV was really big with TRL, spring break shows, summer shows, it's the only time I remember people chasing after the "song of the summer" and that included songs like this and Steal My Sunshine and others.
Love This Song!!!
This was a great song sadly singer passed few years after 😢❤
Hi guys I'm glad you reacted to this song. They're from New Zealand, and that's where I'm from. It's good to have a different taste of music from downunder. And you should check out Stan Walker ULTRALIGHT BEAM Studio live session. Check it out. 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Such a great song
I always loved this song
This band was from New Zealand. It’s one of those songs where you have pull up the lyrics cause it’s hard to hear everything he’s saying
Y’all definitely need to check out (what is love) by haddaway & (return of the Mack) by mark Morrison. these are some 90’s mega hits
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 had How Bizarre, Mambo No. 5 and the Macarena
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.
Novelty type song. Seventies are my favourite decade, with all the amazing rock bands. The eighties were ok, they produced some fantastic bands. The nineties were very introspective, no doubt trying to find a new sound but they were weird. You got that right. Weird is the word.
Everytime I see one of these reactions to How Bizarre the hosts are bopping away and smiling; the same reaction to the song that made it a hit.
I think the 90's are the first real decade where the internet made a huge impact on everything, including music. The internet is all over the place and so is the music.
Please do Fast Ball’s “The Way”. It’s a classic 90’s sound and it’s based on a true story about a missing elderly couple. But it’s easy to not realize it if you just casually listen. I think you’ll both love it!

They did it about a year ago
They already did that song.
I think both of you would love "One Week" by Barenaked ladies.
Can't believe you've gotten around to one of our biggest hits here in New Zealand. Thanks guys
I recall, in the year that this came out (1997), there were a lot of fascinating, DIFFERENT, creative songs/styles released! Rock (AOR) radio had been on the decline for a few years, but a lot of cool music came from alternative rock (and some mainstream rock) artists that were either new or breaking out that year!

The vocalist,Pauley Fuemana passed away in 2010 following a protracted battle with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, ultimately succumbing to respiratory failure.
“The 90’s are unique” 😂 I was a teen in the 90’s and yeah… they were… bizarre (but beautiful)
THE 90'S SUCKED ASS
