Technotronic got their name by combining the word 'techno', meaning a sort of dance music, and 'tronic' meaning 'tronic'.

The original 12-inch release of Pump Up The Jam came with a free horse.

At 7.16pm on December 28th 1879, Dundee's Tay Bridge collapsed as a train passed over it. 60 passengers lost their lives.

Other musical acts whose names begin with 'T' include The Cure, The Isley Brothers, and The Velvet Underground.
