The Funky Worm
The Funky Worm was a British dance music studio project, assembled by record producer, Mark Brydon. The group took its name from the hit Ohio Players song "Funky Worm."
The group also contained saxophonist Sim Lister. Its track "Hustle! " went to No. 1 on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1988. Original band founders DJs Parrot and Ping Pong, were joined by the singer Julie Stewart and were signed by WEA, before reaching No. 13 in the UK Singles Chart with "Hustle!...". Two less successful tracks, "The Spell! " and "U + Me = Love" followed.
"The Spell! " appears in the Only Fools and Horses episode "Yuppy Love".
In 1995, Brydon formed another successful duo, Moloko.
