Bruce
and Bongo were a 1980s Germany-based new wave duo consisting of
Bruce Hammond Earlam (born 13 January 1955) and Douglas Wilgrove
(born 19 March 1955), both from Britain. The pair are best known
internationally for their 1986 hit "Geil", which
was an immediate hit in Germany, and spending four weeks at No. 1 there.
The German word "geil" is used in this context to
mean "cool" or "awesome", but translates
literally as
"horny". The song charted in several countries
around Europe. The song was released alongside their most successful
album, The Geil Album. The duo also promoted a second single,
"Hi Ho (Whistle While You Work)", at several events in
Germany.
Internationally, Bruce and Bongo are considered to be a one-hit wonder. In 1994, Hammond helped establish a new production company, "How's That" Music, GmbH
(Germany), which assisted in the creation of
several European hits, including the Mark'Oh project. Hammond has
also worked on the albums Beyond the Banana Islands and Magic Tour.
