Utah Saints are not from anywhere near Utah, thankfully. They're British
(they may even be Scottish, but I can't remember...)
They bought the rites to the video clip and the sample dirt cheap - they
couldn't use a bit with Donald Sutherland in it though. It was a fairly
modest success over here, top ten for a good few weeks.

(BTW - it's Tom's Diner... :-) )
