With little else to do on a mid-pandemic January night, the future members of Wet Leg decided to have some fun improvising on a drum machine and synthesizer at home on England's Isle of Wight.
Among the lyrics they conjured on the spot were lines from "Mean Girls" and a nod to a piece of furniture one of them was seated on.
That ad-libbed tune, "Chaise Longue," has propelled the friends across the Atlantic, from the English Channel to sold-out music venues across America.
