The Wiseguys was a British electronica and hip hop band that was responsible for creating the song ”Start the Commotion” that was in a Mitsubishi TVadvertisement, as well as the films Lizzie McGuire, Zoolander and Kangaroo Jack; and “Ooh La La”, which was used in Budweiser commercials. Both tracks of which came from The Wiseguys second album, The Antidote. The band was formed in 1994 with two members, Touche (Theo Keating) and Regal (real name Paul Eve). They were partners from 1990 and released an EP called “Ladies Say Ow!” in the same year on the Blackmarket record label. The record label Wall of Sound signed the duo and released the double A-side ”Nil by Mouth” / “Too Easy” in 1995. Their first album Executive Suite was released in 1996 to critical acclaim, feature downtempo jazz beats and happy optimistic hip-hop numbers, and is now considered a cult classic.
