Never critically acclaimed, the group continued making records that were distinctly "Eurodance", following in the footsteps of previous Dutch-Dance sensations 2 Unlimited. The ploy worked and by the beginning of the year 2000, the group had achieved 4 top 10 entries, including 2 number ones (Boom Boom Boom Boom and We're Going to Ibiza). The group's success continued throughout the beginning of the 21st century, with the "Platinum Album" (their third album release) going top 10, spawning 3 big hits (Kiss, Shala Lala and Uncle John From Jamaica) and 2 lesser known tracks (Cheekah Bow-Bow, which included their fifth cyber-member Cheekah, and the ballad Forever As One, which gained more notoriety for its video, which was banned after the group used unlicensed pictures of them meeting pop group Westlife). By mid-2001, after nearly 10 top 10 hits, the group partly disbanded and went back to working on the club scene.

Where It All Begins
All Night Train
Transcribed by ed luskey
Last night sorta got so insane,
As i went ridin' on the all night train.
Took it down the street and around the block,
Took it downtown baby where the big boys rock.
Take me where i can ease my pain.
Preacher say boy now where you been?
Getting lead in my pockets,
Putting money in sin.
When the mornin' comes not a nickel to my name,
Threw it all away on the all night train.
Ride, let the passenger ride.
Ride, let the passenger ride.
I woke up late yesterday afternoon,
My eyeballs feeling like two balloons.
The doctor say things ain't never gonna change,
Till you stop riding that all night train.
Ride, let the passenger ride.
Ride, let the passenger ride.
Took a little trip to keep from going insane,
Spent the rest of my life on the all night train.
All night train.
All night train.
All night train.
The All Night Train by The Allman Brothers Band is a song about a wild and crazy night spent riding the train, which led to a painful morning and regretful feelings. The lyrics paint a picture of a reckless adventure that the singer embarked on, resulting in a financial loss and a physical toll on their body. The chorus is repeated throughout the song, almost as if the singer is trying to convince themselves that they are enjoying the ride, despite the consequences.
The first verse describes the train ride, and how it took the singer through various parts of the city, eventually leading them to a place where they could let loose and have fun. The second verse reveals the aftermath of the night, with the singer waking up feeling sick and visiting a doctor, who tells them that they need to stop riding the all night train if they want to improve their health.
Overall, the song speaks to the idea that sometimes we can get caught up in our desires and forget about the consequences that come along with them. The all night train represents a metaphor for indulgence, and the lyrics suggest that it can be a destructive force on one's life.
