New Zealand’s Otara Millionaire Club was formed in 1993 by brothers Phil and Paul Fuemana. With producer Alan Jannson, the one-hit-wonder “How Bizarre” became the first New Zealand act to top the US Billboard chart.
Most of the video takes place in a red Chevy convertible, or a “Chevy ‘69”. Pauly’s driving, Phil’s in the back, and after much research and debate, the girl in the passenger seat is their sister Christine. That’s confirmed by the lyrics, “Tina says, ‘Right on’ “! The other back up singers Zina and Taisha are nowhere in sight.
After their hit and a failure to deliver another, the siblings regrouped as Fuemana and then the story gets... well, you know. In 2005, Phil died of a heart attack at age 41. Three years ago, Pauly succumbed to an inflammatory disease that’s hard to spell and pronounce. He was just a few days before turning 41. To that I say, “How Bizarre”.
