The duo consists of John Guldberg (vocals, guitar, bass) and Tim Stahl (vocals, keyboards, drums, bass). They are best known for the hits "Sunshine Reggae" and "White Horse" from 1983 and "Bakerman" from 1989.
John Guldberg and Tim Stahl met in the mid-1970s, and they played together in a group called the Starbox Band.[1] After a poorly received show supporting the Kinks, the band split up, but the duo continued working together. Guldberg set up a small studio in downtown Copenhagen where the two musicians began exploring the possibilities that were being opened up by new technologies, such as multitrack tape recorders, synthesizers and drum machines.
Their debut album, simply titled Laid Back, was released in 1981, and the single "Maybe I'm Crazy" became a number-one hit in Denmark.[1]
The next year, the single "Sunshine Reggae" was released, and it became another chart-topper in their home country; it was later included on the band's second album, Keep Smiling, in 1983, and went on to become a number-one single in Italy, West Germany, and nineteen other countries around the world. In the US, however, it was the single's B-side that became the band's only big hit. "White Horse" is a funk-influenced dance track with a memorable bassline and ambiguous, drug- and/or sex-themed lyrics ("white horse" being a slang for heroin) that became popular in US clubs. After the song was re-released as an A-side on both 7-inch and 12-inch vinyl, it went on to spend three weeks at number one on Billboard's National Disco Action charts; it was also a crossover success, reaching the top five on the Hot Black Singles chart while peaking at number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1984. Its relatively poor performance on the Hot 100 is most likely due to the track's controversial lyrics (including the word "bitch"), which prevented it from receiving radio airplay in much of the country. In 1989, the American rap act 2 Live Crew sampled "White Horse" heavily for their single "Get the Fuck Out of My House"; it was later sampled for Monifah's 1998 hit "Touch It".
Laid Back's next two albums, Play It Straight (1985) and See You in the Lobby (1987),[1] and singles such as "Abu Dhabi" and "Tricky Kind of Thing", were released to little fanfare and limited chart success.
The duo made a return to the European charts in 1989 with the single "Bakerman" (featuring Danish singer Hanne Boel[2]), which peaked at number nine on the West German chart, and number 44 in the United Kingdom in early 1990. It was accompanied by an unusual video, directed by Lars von Trier, which featured the band skydiving while "playing" their instruments. Guldberg and Stahl have both named this their favourite Laid Back track, and said the words were written by Guldberg during the recording session for the song. The lyrics are in English except for the phrase "Sagabona kunjani", which Guldberg has described as a Swahili phrase meaning "Hello, how are you?"[3]
Hoping to capitalize on the success of Bakerman, their label re-released "White Horse" (as "White Horse '89") with new remixes, although this was a commercial disappointment.
Over the course of the following two decades, Laid Back continues to work together, and have since released four albums, a handful of singles, and two greatest hits albums (Laidest Greatest in 1995 and Good Vibes β The Very Best of Laid Back in 2008). The duo also composed the soundtrack of the 2001 feature film Flyvende Farmor, for which they were awarded a Robert, the Danish equivalent of an Oscar. That same year, an exhibition of the band's artwork, including pieces that appeared on their records and promotional posters, took place in Copenhagen. In 2003 they featured on the track "Tango" by Danish band HΓ¦st, produced by Umpff. They continue to make sporadic live performances, as well, including high-profile shows at the Isle of Wight Festival in 2004, and the Roskilde Festival in 2005. A remix of "Bakerman" by British DJ Shaun Baker reached number one in Greenland in 2006.
In 2010 Laid Back returned with the single "Cocaine Cool".

Lyrics: Rayne Johnson - Laid Back
Doctor said my blood pressure's down
And it's been that way since you skipped town
And I know you thought your leavin'
Would make me feel like screamin'
But baby, I ain't even stressin' out
I bet you thought I'd be gettin' lonely
Thought I'd be gettin' angry
But girl, I ain't even gettin' mad
'Cause I've been gettin' laid back
Baby you should know that
I don't need your criticism, pessimism
I've been keepin' it on the DL
Got a girl that keeps it real
And it's on a need-to-know and all you need to know babe
Since you've been gone
I've been gettin' laid back
Used to have these headaches all day long
But it's disappeared since you've been gone
And that girl next door, she sees me
Loves how I'm takin' it easy
Blows kisses at me while I mow my lawn
Bet you thought I'd be gettin' lonely
Thought I'd be gettin' angry
But I've been gettin' luckier than that
'Cause I've been gettin' laid back
Baby you should know that
I don't need your criticism, pessimism
I've been keepin' it on the DL
Got a girl that keeps it real
But that's on a need-to-know and all you need to know babe
Since you've been gone
I've been gettin' laid back
'Cause I've been gettin' laid back
Busy gettin' laid back
'Cause I've been gettin' laid back
Baby you should know that
I don't need your criticism, pessimism
I've been keepin' it on the DL
Got a girl that keeps it real
But that's on a need-to-know and all you need to know babe
Since you've been gone
I've been gettin' laid back
Busy gettin' laid back
Keep gettin' lucky gettin' laid back
