Why they might be annoying:

    They were originally known as the Nitwits.
    Their biggest hit, 'Beep Beep,' was a novelty number known for its squeaky car horn and its lyrics that speedupasthesonggoes.
    Because of the BBC ban on songs that mention brand names, they had to re-record 'Beep Beep' for Britian, replacing 'Cadillac' and 'Nash Rambler' with the generic 'limousine' and 'bubble car.'

Why they might not be annoying:

    Although often thought of as a one-hit wonder, they actually made the Billboard Top 40 five times.
    'Beep Beep' made the top five on the Billboard chart and sold over a million singles.
    The success of 'Beep Beep' was credited with pushing sales of American Motors' Nash Rambler to new highs.
