Tom Tom Club were a splinter group from the legendary Talking Heads. In 1981 they scored a hit for the ages with this funk pop ditty, "Genius of Love". The song peaked at number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 but that doesn't speak to it's enormous popularity in dance clubs of the time or it's lasting influence. Since it first appeared it has been sampled by just about everyone in search of the perfect groove, most notably Mariah Carey for her 1995 single "Fantasy".
