Their songs often mixed bilingual Danish/Italian releases included "Mio amore"〔(SN.dk: Muri and Marios single is a success ) 〕 about spreading love through a canvas drawing project. It was followed by songs like "Tusind stykker" and "Cosa del amor", "På netdate fandt vi sammen" which found some following on YouTube. It was however with "Hun tog min guitar" in 2011 that they gained big response becoming an online sensation. The song meaning "She took my guitar" in Danish was about an actual incident about Muri's ex-girlfriend who left taking away his guitar with her. She was bothered he spent more time with his guitar than with her. "She never gave the guitar back", said Muri in an interview. 〔(DR.dk: Ekskæresten snuppede guitaren - men gav dem en landeplage.
