Aging rockers pose as teenagers -- and have a hit
The Alarm -- the 80s group that did "68 Guns" and "The Stand" -- have been unable to get any airtime with their recent work. So they called themselves the Poppyfields and hired a bunch of teenagers to mime their parts.

Result? A hit that came onto the charts at #28.

Read. Weep. Repeat.

Four cheers for The Alarm!

3. Curse You!
After reading your post, I've been downloading Strength by the Alarm and reliving the worst parts of junior high!
