20 Fingers

20 Fingers

20 Fingers is the name of a musical group created by Charlie Babie and Manfred Mohr. They were popular in the early 1990s for producing a series of novelty pop music, dance music and rap music songs.

Their first single, in 1994, was the controversial "Short Dick Man" featuring lead vocalist Gillette. The song was a huge hit all over the world reaching the top 5 in several European countries like Italy, Germany or France (where the single reached number one for three weeks). It also reached #14 in the US and was a massive club success.

20 Fingers also wrote and produced all the tracks on Gillette's debut album "On The attack" which scored another hit with "Mr personality". Another single from this album is "You're A Dog". In Germany, "Mr Personality" and "You're A Dog" were still credited under "20 Fingers feat. Gillette" as well as her album "On The Attack" which was there renamed "On The Attack And More".

Their second single was "Lick It" featuring vocalist Roula. It was another success in Europe and in clubs all around the world.

In 1995, "Short Dick Man" was re-released in the UK in its censored version "Short Short Man" and remixed by Strike. This new version reached #11 whereas the original only reached #21 in 1994.

They also released their debut album "20 Fingers" which had the particularity to feature a different vocalist for almost each song.

Their third single credited under the name 20 Fingers was "Sex machine" featuring Katrina . It was another club hit but did not sell as well as its predecessors.

Other songs from their album were released as singles, credited only under the name of the vocalist ("She won't know" by Dania, "Praying for an angel" and "Holding On To Love" by Rochelle, "I'm in love" by A' Lisa B).

A 'Megamix' of their first three hits was also released as a single in France only ("Megamix Explosion")

They also produced the album of Max-A-Million entitled "Take Your Time", the second album of Gillette, "Shake Your Money Maker", and another single for Katrina called "Push, Push".

A male-centered number, "Choke My Chicken", was a part of the catalog as well, performed by Babie and Mohr.

20 Fingers are known for their occasionally sexually explicit lyrics, which has resulted in some songs being released in censored and uncensored versions (Gillette's "Short Dick Man" is entitled "Short Short Man" in its censored version. "Lick It", similarly, had both edited and unedited versions released).
