Their big break came with their debut album So Much for the City (2003) which became an Irish number one. The five members spent a month on vacation in San Diego where they wrote several of the tracks for the album such as One Horse Town. The band have since recorded two further albums Let's Bottle Bohemia (2004) and Teenager (2007).
The band often cites Neil Young, The Beach Boys and The Monkees as its main inspirations. The band took part in the Band Aid 20 charity assemble in 2004.
2. The Thrills was a punk band that formed in Boston in 1977. During the first wave of punk, they were one of Boston's most popular bands, in large part due to singer Barb Kitson's commanding voice and punky-starlet looks. They changed names in 1980 due to a name conflict, and went on to release the City Thrills EP in 1981.
3. The Thrills were a soul 'girl group' of the 1960s, who released a string of singles for Capitol Records in 1966.

The Thrills Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh can't you see I'm full of lies
Oh something
Oh something once pure
I came to the city
To build a mountain of envy
And to marry a Kennedy
So let's stay out tonight
I just can't stop it
Ooh, girl I say ooh
Whatever happened my friend
Ooh, girl I say ooh
Whatever happened my friend
Corey Haim
So if I betray you
I won't be the first
You won't be the last
Oh something
Oh something once pure
On Paramount Pictures
I'm Andy Warhol with other ....
Hey ...
I'm the American dream
So let's stay out tonight
You see, I just can't stop it
I just can't stop it
Ooh, girl I say ooh
Whatever happened my friend
Ooh, girl I say ooh
Whatever happened my friend
Yeah Corey Haim Haim Haim Haim
So put on that dress tonight
You see, we just can't stop it
We just can't stop it
Ooh, hey girl I said ooh
Whatever happened my friend
Corey Haim
Alright, alright... alllright
The song "Whatever Happened to Corey Haim?" by The Thrills is a nostalgic and introspective look into the life of the late actor Corey Haim and the hard and often destructive lifestyle of fame and fortune in Hollywood. The lyrics suggest a sense of regret and disappointment in the pursuit of fame and wealth, and the loss of innocence and purity. The singer seems to reflect on his own struggles with betraying others and succumbing to the temptations of the American Dream.
The first line of the song "Now don't you believe me, Oh can't you see I'm full of lies" sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer is grappling with his own dishonesty and disillusionment with the world of show business. He came to the city to "build a mountain of envy" and "marry a Kennedy," referencing the American Dream of wealth and power, but it has left him feeling empty and lost.
The chorus, which repeats the phrase "Whatever happened my friend, Corey Haim," is a lament for the tragic life and death of the 80s teen idol, whose own struggles with addiction and fame led to his untimely demise. The singer recognizes that he is not the only one to have experienced the pitfalls of Hollywood, and that Corey Haim's story is a cautionary tale for anyone seeking fame and fortune.

@hannahmyers4295
Is anyone else completely terrified that this song came out BEFORE he died?
@idk-tv7sg
Yes!! I'm like shaking so bad, it's anxiety level is high
@hannahmyers4295
I don't know. It's just kind of weird that they were wondering what happened to him and his career, but he didn't die until a year. >> Nothing seriously scary. Just sort of sad and strange I guess.
