"SCOOPED UP IS A BAND" according to Time Magazine (source: https://www.scoopedupband.com/about)
They brilliantly revive the pop punk sound of the 90s and 2000s that we've all grown to love and sizzle it up with a heavy dose of modern flair to get us all out of our seats and jamming once again. We first met Jimmy when he opened for Jaret Reddick and Rob Felicetti of Bowling for Soup, shared a Miller Light, and the rest is history.

So Love Yourself and Let It Go, because we know it Hurts Like Hell to Die From A Broken Heart. Switch Up because it will Be Alright, you'll be Happier if you Really Don't Care, so Before He Cheats drop that Heartless Stone Cold Heartbreaker and remember it's Ok Not To Be Ok.

FNK 1 Year Anniversary Episode - One Hit Wonders Nov 24, 2021

They were on top of the world for a song, for a moment, and then...... poof! Gone like yesterday's news. That's right, we are talking about One Hit Wonders, those songs that just creep into your ear canal and take residence in your brain for weeks on end. The band name escapes you, but you can sing every word to the chorus. #FNKOneHit is giving these artists another chance at fame by putting their (one) famous song front and center in our setlists, and singing them for all FNK to hear.
It's also the one year anniversary of the Friday Night Karaoke FB group - so Happy Anniversary FNK!
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Mike's internet went out near the beginning of the episode, and this was salvaged with the audio we would save from attempts to reconnect via 5g (so there are less than the usual 10 songs, and Mike's audio quality is less than perfect after the 2nd song).
Featured in this episode alongside hosts Mike Wiston and Joe Rubin:
- Happy Anniversary FNK by (many) members of the FNK FB Group
- Jennifer with Black Velvet by Alannah Myles
- Levy Alturus & Heather Gurnari with What's up by 4 Non Blondes
- Mike Wiston with Friend Like Me by Aladdin
