Rhythm Bandits

"Rhythm Bandits" is a song by Danish band Junior Senior. It was released as the second single from their debut album, D-D-Don't Don't Stop the Beat, in the United Kingdom and Australia in 2003 but failed to match the success of previous single "Move Your Feet". Although the song did chart, peaking at number 22 in the United Kingdom and number 47 in Australia and Ireland, it was the last charting song for Junior Senior, who became unknown in the United Kingdom thereafter, causing their album Hey Hey My My Yo Yo to not be released in the country, a fact which angered Junior Senior's fanbase.
