Boogie Pimps are an electronic music duo from Erfurt, Germany. It was formed by two DJs: Mark J Klak and Mirko Jacob.
History Their collaboration started in 2000, when Mirko Jacob started performing in Klak's JoueJoueClub in Erfurt. Jacob has since left the group, and his place was filled by Australian-born Jon Henderson.
In Autumn 2003, Boogie Pimps released their first single, a remix of Jefferson Airplane's cover of The Great Society's "Somebody to Love". The single became a top ten hit in Australia and the United Kingdom, peaking at number ten on the ARIA Singles Chart and number three on the UK Singles Chart. The music video for "Somebody to Love" features several infants sky diving out of an aeroplane towards a giant woman (Natasha Mealey) lying on a grassy hill country landscape in her underwear, singing the song.
Their second single, "Sunny" is also a cover, originally recorded by Bobby Hebb. The single became the Boogie Pimps' second top ten hit in the United Kingdom, peaking at number ten on the UK Singles Chart in May 2004. "Sunny" also became their second charting single in Australia, peaking at number 23 on the ARIA Singles Chart.
In 2004, they appeared on a white label record, which was not widely released, under the pseudonym 'Pimps Guerilla'. They performed songs such as "Right Out of Here" and "Make 'em Drop". While "Make 'em Drop" made it onto a few compilations, "Right Out of Here" is not commercially available, with the exception of white labels. This could be for legal reasons, as extracts of lyrics and melody were sampled from the end of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody".
