The Epsom Mad Funkers exploded onto the pop scene with the purple prose of their first single. Formed in Cinderford in Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, EMF sprouted out of the psychedelic dance music of the baggy 'Madchester' movement. The name of the band comes from the nickname of fans of New Order. 'Unbelievable' went to the top of the US pop chart and number three in the UK. The song samples the voice of Andrew Dice Clay, including the "Oh!" in the chorus and the spoken "you're unbelievable". The single drove sales of their first album 'Schubert Dip' to number three on the British album chart and number twelve on the American chart.
You burden me with your questions
You'd have me tell no lies
You're always asking what it's all about
But don't listen to my replies
You say to me I don't talk enough
But when I do I'm a fool
These times I've spent, I've realized
I'm going to shoot through
And leave you
The things, you say
Your purple prose just gives you away
The things, you say
You're unbelievable
You burden me with your problems
By telling me more than mine
I'm always so concerned
With the way you say
You've always go to stop
To think of us being one
Is more than I ever know
But this time, I realize
I'm going to shoot through
And leave you
The things, you say
Your purple prose just gives you away
The things, you say
You're unbelievable
Seemingly lastless, don't mean
You can ask us
Pushing down the relative
Bringing out your higher self
Think of the fine times
Pushing down the better few
Instead of bringing out the clues
To what the world and everything anger to
Brace yourself with the grace of ease
I know this world ain't what it seems.
(You're unbelievable)
You burden me with your questions
You'd have me tell no lies
You're always asking what it's all about
But don't listen to my replies
You say to me I don't talk enough
But when I do I'm a fool
These times I've spent, I've realized
I'm going to shoot through
And leave you
The things, you say
Your purple prose just gives you away
The things, you say
It's why I love you more
The things, you say
Your purple prose just gives you away
The things, you say
You're unbelievable
You're so unbelievable
You're unbelievable
(You're unbelievable)
You're unbelievable
