Their second album "Strange Kind of Love", produced by legendary Steely Dan producer Gary Katz, achieved silver disk status and great critical acclaim, and is now recognised as a classic.
Third album "Dogs in the Traffic" spawned some minor singles success, but they would eventually break up in 1994 after releasing a fourth album "Little Death". James Grant himself went solo but despite positive critical reviews is still searching for commercial success.

Check das aus
Das Weed das ich rauch' ist grün
Und hat orangene Haare drauf wie Lois Griffin
Ich tu mit Homies kiffen
Und bin stoned auf meiner Home
In den Hollywood Hills und tu Patrón sippen
Und ich hol mir was vom Catering-Buffet
Ein paar Würstchen im Schlafrock
No homo, though, yolo, bro
Und bin am flirten in der Küche
Mit ner Bitch aus Orange County
Die mehr kiffen tut als Towelie
Oder Cheech und Chong
Ich brauch ein Spliff, Bitch, und ein Babe
Ich häng' ab auf einer Hollywood Party in LA
Und bin stoned, Nigga
Und im TV läuft Scarface ohne Ton
Ich bin high & twisted vom Patrón
Was geht ab?
Guck, ich zieh an einer Bong
Und werde higher als wie
Dieser Felix Baumgartner
Oder als ein Raumfahrer
Higher als wie Hubschrauberpropeller
Ich pack noch so ein paar
Cupcakes auf den Teller
Und verlass' die Küche
In Begleitung von 'ner Stonerbitch
Sie fragt "Hast du Kondome mit?"
"Scheiß drauf, fick mich ohne, Kid, Yolo
Bitch" (Nice)
Chia, und ich bone sie am Balkon
Während unter uns die Lichter von LA funkeln
Ich brauch ein Spliff, Bitch, und ein Babe
Ich häng ab auf einer Hollywood Party in LA
Und bin stoned, Nigga
Und im TV läuft Scarface ohne Ton
Ich bin high & twisted vom Patrón
Was geht ab?
The lyrics to "Twisted" by Love and Money's song express a carefree attitude towards substance use and partying in Hollywood. The singer describes smoking weed, sipping Patrón, and flirting with a girl from Orange County. The lyrics present a kind of hedonistic lifestyle that some may perceive as exciting and glamorous. The second verse describes the singer's desire to reach even greater heights, both in terms of getting high and engaging in sexual activity. Overall, the lyrics give a glimpse into the party culture of Hollywood, where drugs and casual sex are often normalized and celebrated.
The first verse is smugly bragging about the wealth, weed, and alcohol available to the singer and their friends. They are partying in Hollywood Hills, enjoying the view and taking advantage of the catering. They mention flirting with a woman who is high and probably using drugs habitually. The singer exaggerates their level of intoxication, describing how they see Scarface playing on the TV without any sound. The verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, where excess, privilege, and a carefree attitude rule all.
The second verse takes things further, with the singer boasting about being higher than Felix Baumgartner, the Austrian skydiver who rose to fame in 2012 for breaking the world record for the highest skydive. The singer's sexual encounter is also carefree and cavalier, with the woman asking for condoms and being rejected. The chorus repeats the need for "a spliff" and "a babe," emphasizing the pleasure of getting high and having sex with someone. It all seems like fun and games, but the lyrics also highlight the risks and consequences of such activities.
