The Resume

(1988- )
Formed in Seattle
George Merrill (vocals, keyboard)
Shannon Rubicam (vocals)
Wrote ‘Waiting for a Star to Fall,’ ‘How Will I Know’ and ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)’

Why he might be annoying:

They are a one-hit wonder.
They are divorced.
They almost even missed being a one-hit wonder, since ‘Waiting for a Star to Fall’ was originally meant for Whitney Houston to sing.
The name of the duo was a clear indication that their hits (written or performed) were going to be cheesy love songs.

Why he might not be annoying:

They came up with their name because they first met at a wedding where they were hired to perform.
They helped launch Whitney Houston’s career.
Although divorced, they still have a very close relationship both personally and professionally.
