British band featuring the vocals of Corrine Drewery. Never does the same music genre twice - they like to experiment. Very popular in Japan. Twice the size of average bands which sometimes prevents them from touring. Generally described as Chantese Jazz.
Popular songs:
Now You're Not Here (#1 International Hit)
Breakout
Twilight World
Some Enya fanboy: SOS is ok, but their sound is so synthesized. I like Enya better because she's got such a natural sound.
Swing Out Sister fanboy: You DO know that Enya is 100% synthesized, right? I mean even her vocals are enhanced by computer. She can't even tour because her sound is impossible to create outside of the music studio. On the other hand, SOS has a 10-peice band with all real instruments with one of the best keyboardists in the world.
Chantese jazz? WTF? Ignore the other def .Swing out sister were nothing more than an 80's one hit wonder''breakout'' with a good lookin female lead and two really ugly guys on back up. Thats IT.
Swing Out Sister have now got two definitions here ,more than they deserve.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing peecalculus.
