Tom Kristensen left the band before the debut was released and was replaced by Arne Aarnes. Before the release of the debut album, the band also had Stein Ramberg (guitar), Jon Berg (guitar) and Anders Kronberg (vocals) in their ranks, all for just a short period of time.
Before the recording of their second album, a new vocalist, Bjørn Müller (former Present Easter Bunnies, Z-Off and Quadromachetas), joined the band. With this lineup, the band recorded their two breakthrough albums and it is considered to be the "classic" Backstreet Girls lineup.
Three albums later, in 1991, the band split with both label and vocalist and signed with Warner Bros and Olle Hillborg from Glorious Bankrobbers. This lasted for one album and then the band broke with their label and changed vocalist once again. The new singer was Pat Diamond and he recorded one album with the band before he left. This album was not released at the time, but was due to be released around Christmas 2007.
Bjørn Müller then rejoined the band and they signed a record deal with Face Front. In 1999, founding member Pål Kristensen left the band and was replaced by Morten Lunde (at the time also playing in The Mormones). Lunde was replaced by Dan Thunderbird in 2002 and in 2007, just before the recording of Shake Your Stimulator, founding member Bjørn Terje Baarli also left the band. After using numerous session drummers, Martin H-Son joined and Backstreet Girls was once again a quartet.

Just wait, play pool
Have a drink, maybe two
The medicine man is waiting for you
Watch out for the cop
Come on, let's go out
Taste the stuff, it is clean
Pills and booze and parties
I'm in for long lives, yeah yeah yeah
Medicine man, medicine man, medicine man
Medicine man, medicine man, medicine man
Sit down, be cool
Just wait, play pool
Have a drink, maybe two
The medicine man is waiting for you
Watch out for the cop
Come on, let's go out
Taste the stuff, it is clean
Well, everybody needs their medicine
Pills and booze and parties
I'm in for long lives, yeah yeah yeah

The lyrics to Backstreet Girls's song "Medicine Man" are about indulging in vices and finding escape through drugs and alcohol. The verses describe a scene where the medicine man is waiting for the singer to give them their fix, encouraging them to sit and wait, play pool, and have a drink. There is a warning to watch out for the police, but the singer is told to come along and taste the drugs which are described as clean. The chorus repeats the phrase "medicine man" several times, emphasizing the importance of these substances as a type of medicine that everyone needs.
Overall, the song seems to glamorize the use of drugs and alcohol as a way of coping with life's problems. The upbeat and catchy melody, along with the repetitive lyrics, give the impression that indulging in these substances is a fun and normal part of life. However, it's important to keep in mind that this type of behavior can have serious consequences and can lead to addiction and other problems.
