The thing that pissed people off about Milli Vanilli at the time was that they took themselves way too seriously.
Time magazine, March 5, 1990
"Musically, we are more talented than any Bob Dylan," announces Robert Pilatus, 24, with very little prodding. "Musically, we are more talented than Paul McCartney. Mick Jagger, his lines are not clear. He don't know how he should produce a sound. I'm the new modern rock 'n' roll. I'm the new Elvis." His (often silent) partner, Fabrice Morvan, 23, has his own key to success: "Rhythm, you know."
They more or less brought on the backlash themselves.
From Milli Vanilli to New Order.
The breadth of the Buffistas is astounding.

Oh, definitely. It's just that since it's 15 years later, I don't care anymore. And anyway, you've got to blame it on something!

I say either "the bossa nova" or "Cain", myself. That way I don't have to listen to any Milli Vanilli.
Frank, you could also blame it on the boogie.
I blame it on my youth. (Surely someone here will get that musical reference.)
Another Milli Vanilli fan?
I have been a Milli Vanilli fan since their glory days (or, perhaps, glory day).

I didn't think they had a sense of humour but this is hysterical.

Gotta concur with bon on this. That just made me laugh.

The funny thing is, if you had the names blanked out, I would have guessed it was the Wankers Gallagher Bros.
