    What Is Tubthumping? | The Top Ten Revealed

    October 13, 2020

    Posted in: The Top Ten Revealed

    How Chumbawamba’s track became a 90s classic

    You might not know who sings it, and if you do, you might not know how to accurately pronounce it, but we guarantee you know this song. Released in August of 1997, “Tubthumping” was released by a British group named Chumbawamba, and it became their first & only hit in the Us, plus a major crowd sing-along at every bar and sporting event in the 90s. But what does it mean? “Tubthumping” actually means to campaign politically, and “Chumba” means a men’s loo while “wamba” means a girl’s. To us (and all of you who voted), this is just a feel good 90s classic that we can’t resist and we guarantee will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. See where it will land on our list of the top 90s One Hit Wonders on an all new episode of The Top Ten Revealed this SUNDAY at 8/7c!
