Len – “Steal My Sunshine” (1999)
“I was lying on the grass of Sunday morning of last week, indulging in my self-defeat…”
“Steal My Sunshine” by Len is one of the most significant summer themes of the late ’90s, ranked by Rolling Stone magazine as the 33rd Best Summer Anthem of All Time. When it was released in 1990, the song managed to reach number 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number eight on the UK Singles Chart.

Unfortunately, the group’s subsequent six singles failed to have any impact on the music industry. Fun fact: The budget for the track’s music video was $100,000, but most of the money was spent on alcohol. The band bought so much that they broke their hotel’s elevator trying to get it all to their room.
