This article is about the British hip hop/house group. For the Paula Abdul album, see Shut Up and Dance. Shut Up And Dance is a British music duo that fused hip hop, house and hardcore, best known for their single "Raving I'm Raving", which reached No. 2 in the UK singles chart. The group was formed in 1988 by Philip 'PJ' Johnson and Carl 'Smiley' Hyman. In 1990, they made the lower end of the UK charts with two singles, "£20 To Get In" and "Lamborghini", both released on their own Shut Up And Dance record label. In 1992, they reached number 43 with double single "Autobiography Of A Crackhead"/"The Green Man", before hitting the headlines in May of that year when they released "Raving I'm Raving", an upbeat breakbeat hardcore tune that is still popular today. The track is based on Marc Cohn's hit single "Walking in Memphis", but the sample had not been given clearance. The single soared to No 2 in the UK singles chart
