==History== Their collaboration started in 2000, when Mirko Jacob started performing in Klak's JoueJoueClub in [[Erfurt]]. Jacob has since left the group, and his place was filled by [[Australia]]n-born Jon Henderson. In Autumn 2003, Boogie Pimps released their first [[Single (music)|single]], a remix of [[Jefferson Airplane]]'s [[cover version|cover]] of [[The Great Society (band)|The Great Society]]'s "[[Somebody to Love (Jefferson Airplane song)|Somebody to Love]]". In January 2004, this song entered the top ten of the [[UK Singles Chart]].<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums">{{cite book | first= David | last= Roberts | year= 2006 | title= British Hit Singles & Albums | edition= 19th | publisher= Guinness World Records Limited | location= London | isbn= 1-904994-10-5 | page= 71}}</ref> The [[music video]] for "Somebody to Love" features several infants [[sky diving]] out of an [[aeroplane]] towards a giant woman (Natasha Mealey) lying on a grassy hill country landscape in her underwear, singing the song. Their second single, "[[Sunny (Bobby Hebb song)|Sunny]]" is also a cover, originally recorded by [[Bobby Hebb]]. In 2004, they appeared on a [[white label record]], which was not widely released, under the [[pseudonym]] 'Pimps Guerilla'. They performed songs such as "Right Out of Here" and "Make 'em Drop". While "Make 'em Drop" made it onto a few [[compilation album|compilations]], "Right Out of Here" is not commercially available, with the exception of white labels. This could be for legal reasons, as extracts of lyrics and melody were sampled from the end of [[Queen (band)|Queen]]'s "[[Bohemian Rhapsody]]".{{Citation needed|date=October 2007}}
