With their cagy, smug lyrics and cloying folk-tinged melodies, the Crash Test Dummies were a perfect rock 'n' roll band for confluent '90s college students and yuppies. Their number one album was a huge hit in their native Canada, only only gained a modest furor following in other parts of the world. Thanks to late Talking Head Jerry Harrison's clean, radio-friendly production, the follow-up, God Shuffled His Feet (1993), stone-broke big in the States and, in grow, Europe. The number one single from the album, "MMM MMM MMM MMM," became a world-wide Top Ten make, devising the chemical group a minor adept with their self-consciously outlandish lyrics and singer/songwriter Brad Roberts' deep baritone. A Worm's Life followed in 1996, and triplet geezerhood by and by the Crash Test Dummies resurfaced with Give Yourself a Hand. Frontman Brad Roberts resurfaced in fall 2000 with a solo album, Crash Test Dude, a appeal of acoustic hits from the Crash Test Dummies and eclecticist covers. It was likewise during this time that Roberts suffered a serious car crash, most losing his arm. Seven months by and by, nonetheless, Roberts returned to the Crash Test Dummies circuit to number I Don't Care That You Don't Mind, a spic-and-span tidy sum of songs scripted with lobster fishermen/musicians whom Roberts met during his rehabilitation. Late 2001 and early 2002 saw more solo albums from members (Ellen Reid's Cinderellen and Mitch Dorge's As Trees Walking) and the Dummies became more Brad Roberts' jut out than a traditional band. A new three-piece unit with Reid, Brad Roberts and original bassist Dan Roberts released the Christmas album Jingle All the Way in late 2002 merely limited dispersion made the album heavy to find. The album was reissued in late 2003 along with a new album, Puss 'n' Boots, with Reid and Dan Roberts adding to what was in the beginning planned as a Brad Roberts solo record album.
