Career

The group scored a hit in 1983 with a mashup medley of Steely Dan's "Do It Again" and Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean", titled "Do It Again Medley with Billie Jean". It reached No. 7 in Ireland, No. 11 in the UK and No. 75 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. In 1991, they hit number-one on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart with "Deep in My Heart",[1] which used portions of Kier Kirby's vocals from Deee-Lite's 1990 single "Power of Love".

The same two songs in Club House's 1983 medley were also recorded as a note-for-note dance medley by the Detroit, Michigan band Slingshot, which hit number-one on the dance chart with its cover version. There was a further version by Brooklyn Express, a New York studio project by Began Cekic and Eric Durham, also in 1983.

Club House was also well known for the dance single "Light My Fire" (featuring Carl) which peaked at number 7 in the UK Singles Chart in April 1994.[2] The follow-up single, "Living in the Sunshine", was not quite so successful as it only managed number 21 in the UK in July the same year.[2]

gollark: Well, an isolated channel instead of my idea of a switchable "flag" on this one would have the issues I've mentioned.
gollark: You've solved *some* of the issue, and I'm not convinced that this actually happens much now.
gollark: This has been explained already.
gollark: I also do this, but:- how often do the search queries contain things you dislike- how hard is it to scroll past it or whatever, given that average queries probably won't bring up much of that
gollark: I do not think search is a significant issue, and the logreading thing can be fixed.
