"This song never climbed the charts," noted singer Chris Robertson. "It was never a massive song. People post on our Facebook page, 'Please don't write another Blame It on the Boom Boom.' But every night, it's one of the crowd's favourites. Literally everybody at the show sings that chorus." What's the 'boom boom'? "It can be a variety of things, from something bad hangin' over you to a one-night stand." [1]
