Wasted Little DJs

"Wasted Little DJs" is the debut single by Dundee indie band The View, taken from the album Hats Off to the Buskers. The single was written about The Wasted Little DJs, known as Karlene and Charlene who are both hairdressers and DJs ("for the right money") from Dundee. Charlene is the girlfriend of The View bassist Kieren Webster. Karlene is the wife of The View keyboardist Darren Paul Rennie. Before its physical release on 8 August 2006, the single had reached number 73 on the UK Singles Chart on downloads only, before climbing up to number 15 the following week. It spent two more weeks in the UK top 40 before dropping out altogether. In the band's native Scotland, the song reached number one on the Scottish Singles Chart.
