Boy Pop
"Boy Pop" is the eleventh single released by the American synthpop band Book of Love. The song was released on May 6, 1993, as the first single from the band's fourth album "Lovebubble". "Boy Pop" was written by band members Lauren Roselli and Ted Ottaviano. The song is a dance anthem, and an ode to gay men, with its lyric of "Brother love... Across the nation... On the bottom or the top, when we go, we go pop... Boys united cannot be divided...". Although the song did not chart on the "Billboard" Hot 100, the song  became a huge club hit, peaking at no. 4 on the "Billboard" Hot Dance Club Play chart, spending twelve weeks on the chart and becoming the band's second biggest dance club hit. The song features a sample of Ted Ottaviano singing "Boy Pop", a rap by Ron Malloy, and Lauren Roselli and Jade Lee singing "brother love, across the nation". The track was remixed into six different remixes for the release, with two remixes by Josh Wink and the other four by Mood II Swing. An extended remix of "Quiver", a track from the band's previous album "Candy  Carol", was also included on the single, and was remixed by Boris Granich. A promotional video was shot showing the band at a club/bar and many dancing muscular fit men. Track listings. 1993 12" Maxi-Single (Sire Records 9 40806-0).
