The band managed to score four Top 20 singles in their two year career. The first was the theme tune to STARStreet*. "Best Friends", which peaked at Number 20 in June 2001, was a favourite on the pop video channels. The second was a double-a-side of their own track, "Things That Go Bump In The Night", and a cover of Duran Duran's "Is There Something I Should Know?", the former track later appearing on the soundtrack to the first Scooby Doo movie. It reached Number 12 in September 2001.
Their third single, released in January 2002, was another cover, this time of Bucks Fizz's "Land Of Make Believe", and it gave them their first and only top 10 hit, reaching Number 9. Their fourth single, released in late April 2002, was another double-a-side, but this time both were original tracks. "Back When" and "Going All The Way", the latter appearing on the soundtrack to the movie Thunderpants. However, this could only reach Number 19 in the end, and when their self titled debut only managed to reach Number 43 - spending only 2 weeks in the UK Top 75 - the band parted ways with their record company, Island, and split up soon after.
Butterflies
Allstars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ever since I kissed ya
(I, I, want ya. I, I, need ya.)
Inside, Hypnotized
How can I resist ya?
(I, I, want ya. I'm under your spell.)
Can't kick the habit
Boy, I've got to have it
I get butterflies
(Sunshine, but I shut. Full of your touch)
I get my butterflies and I make so much you making me high
(don't you love me. Got more than enough)
No one does it better than the two of us
Can't sleep, in too deep
When I think about ya
(I, I, want ya. I, I, need ya)
Can't you see it's killing me
Just to be without ya
(I, I, want ya. I'm under your spell)
I'm so defenceless
Boy I lose my senses
One look in those eyes
I get butterflies
(Sunshine, but I shut. Full of your touch)
I get my butterflies and I make so much you making me high
(don't you love me. Got more than enough)
No one does it better than the two of us
I get butterflies
