Boom Boom Chi Boom Boom by Tom Tom Club

Boom Boom Chi Boom Boom, Tom Tom Club's third album, came out on Sire in 1988, and it finds Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, the husband-and-wife team who started the group as a Talking Heads side project, still chasing the loose-limbed groove that made "Genius of Love" a hit. The big set piece is a cover of the Velvet Underground's "Femme Fatale", with David Byrne, Lou Reed and Jerry Harrison all joining in.

Elsewhere the album leans hard toward the dance floor. "Suboceana" went out as a UK single late in 1988, and a US 12-inch carried a Marshall Jefferson remix, while Jefferson also gave "Don't Say No" the acid house treatment on its 12-inch releases. "Challenge of the Love Warriors" found a home over the closing credits of the 1987 film Siesta.
