Mummy Calls were a British pop rock/power pop band based in Leamington Spa. The group is best known for their single "Beauty Has Her Way", which was prominently featured in the film ''The Lost Boys''. ==History== Mummy Calls were formed in 1982 and were active throughout the early to mid-1980s. The band's line-up consisted of vocalist David Banks, keyboardist Alan Bint, drummer David Everingham - replaced in 1984 by Paul Brook (formerly of Level 42), bassist Andrew Hingley (brother of Tom Hingley of the Inspiral Carpets) and saxophonist Paul Howard. Following a bidding war, Mummy Calls signed with Geffen Records and issued their self-titled debut album in 1986. The first single from the album, "Beauty Has Her Way", was released to critical acclaim followed by "Let's Go" which received a more lukewarm response. The band achieved their enduring fame, however, when "Beauty Has Her Way" was used on the multi-million selling soundtrack of the vampire film ''The Lost Boys'' (Joel Schumacher 1987). The song, soundtrack and film maintain a level of cult status. A shift in priorities at the band's record label halted the group's chart rise in the U.S. and U.K. as promotional dollars were spent on other artists on the roster. The group disbanded in 1987 in order to free themselves from their record contract. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mummy Calls」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
