Trivia / Morris Minor and the Majors

• One-Hit Wonder: Their only big hit was the Beastie Boys parody "Stutter Rap (No Sleep Til Bedtime)". The followup, a Stock Aitken Waterman parody called "This Is The Chorus", did less well. In his book One Hit Wonderland, former member Tony Hawks explains that the first record sold to kids who wanted to wind up older siblings who listened to the Beastie Boys. The second record made fun of the music that said kids actually listened to, so it flopped. The group then had its own BBC sitcom, Morris Minor's Marvellous Motors, but it suffered from low ratings and only lasted one season.
• Referenced by...: In Knight and Squire, there's a character called Morris Major whose name is a pun on the band's name.
