The WHY and HOW of Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe - Alt Hit Wonders

By the mid-90s Sweden had a reputation on the international pop stage. Groups like Roxette, Ace of Base and Rednex were lightweight cheese, catchy but inoffensive. However there were bands with a bit more heft that felt under-represented. Known for the screaming yet sultry, boisterous yet coy “Hobo Humpin’ Slobo Babe”, Whale’s short career featured cameos from trip-hop nearly Godhead Tricky, come-ons toward Saint Etienne’s Sarah Cracknell, and perhaps too much visible underwear. It’s an artefact of 90s Modern Rock Radio, where bizarre and offkilter songs briefly barged their way into the public consciousness. But how and why? This is Alt Hit Wonders and the story of Whale. #onehitwonder #alternativerock #musicdocumentary Fact-checking by Chad Van Wagner. 00:00 Introduction 00:48 The Origins Of Whale 04:06 The Video For Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe 07:53 The Album And The End of Whale Soundtrack Luar - Citrine (  / luarbeats  ) Luar - Anchor (  / luarbeats  ) You can also follow me here: Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/trashtheory....
