Madison Avenue were a Melbourne duo, writer and producer Andy Van Dorsselaer and singer and lyricist Cheyne Coates, and they packed a whole summer of club nights into one song. "Don't Call Me Baby", out in October 1999, is funky house at its most irresistible: a bouncing disco groove, a bassline that won't sit still and Coates playing it as cool as the title. It reached number two on the ARIA Singles Chart in 1999, then went all the way to the top in New Zealand and the United Kingdom in 2000.
The ARIA Music Awards of 2000 loaded them up for it, with Single of the Year, Highest Selling Single and Breakthrough Artist – Single, plus Best Video for Mark Hartley's direction of "Who the Hell Are You". They were on Virgin, and it all wound up in 2003.
