Courtney Taylor-Taylor, Peter Holmström, Zia McCabe and Brent DeBoer from Portland, Oregon, are the Dandy Warhols. They formed in a slightly different set up in 1994 (Brent joined later). They got signed after Capital Records took note of their 1995 album 'Dandys Rule OK', who worked with them to produce an album two years later, which contained a track that would get them noticed abroad. 'Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth' came with an extravagent video which was directed by no less than David LaChapelle.
But it was Bohemian Like You that should propel them to international fame. Why? A year after its original release, mobile phone giant Vodafone snatched it for their TV ad campaign in several European countries. The track also featured in various car advertising runs across America and Australia.

Lyrics:
You've got a great car,
Yeah, what's wrong with it today?
I used to have one too,
Maybe I'll come and have a look.
I really love your hairdo,Yeah,
I'm glad you like mine too,
See what lookin' pretty cool will get ya.
So what do you do?
Oh yeah I wait tables too.
No I haven't heard your band,
Cause you guys are pretty new.
But if you dig on Vegan food,
Well come over to my work,
I'll have them cook you something that you'll really love,
Cause I like you,
Yeah, I like you,
And I'm feeling so Bohemian like you,
Yeah, I like you,
Yeah, I like you,
And I feel wahoo, wooo
Wohoo hoo hoo
Wait,
Who's that guy,
Just hanging at your pad.
He's looking kinda bummed,
Yeah, you broke up that's too bad.
I guess its fair if he always pays the rent,
and he doesn't get bent about sleeping on the couch when I'm there,
Cause I like you,
Yeah I like you,
And I'm feeling so Bohemian like you.
Yeah I like you,
Yeah I like you,
And I feel wahoo, woooo
Wohoo hoo hoo
I'm getting wise,
and i'm feeling so Bohemian like you,
It's you that I want so please,
just a casual, casual easy thing.
Is it? It is for me.
And I like you,
Yeah I like you,
And I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you
I like you.
And I feel wahoo, woooo
Wohoo hoo hoo
