The Wannadies were an Alternative Rock band formed in 1988 in Skelleftea, Northern Sweden, their Albums, and singles have only ever charted in their home country of Sweden, and also in the UK, where they have had three top 40 hits, the other two being ‘Hit,’ which reached Number 20 in 1997, and ‘Someone Somewhere,’ which peaked at Number 38 in 1996. They were active until 2009, but did reform for a reunion concert in 2016.

‘You and Me Song’ was originally released in 1994 from the Wannidies third studio Album ‘Be My Girl,’ but had little impact, only reaching Number 119 in the UK, but after the film producer Baz Luhrmann chose the song for the soundtrack to the 1996 movie ‘Romeo +Juliet,’ the bands record label re-released the song.

The song is also famous for being used in the British soap opera Coronation Street, in one of their most memorable scenes, when serial killer Richard Hillman drove his car in to a canal, while holding the Platt family hostage in the vehicle.

‘Always when we fight, I try to make you laugh, until everything’s forgotten, I know you hate that.’
