Background
BodyRockers formed in 2004 as an electronic music duo, consisting of Dylan Burns and Kaz James. Burns (ex-ColourSound), a singer-guitarist from Canterbury England, was visiting Melbourne, Australia when he was introduced to James by another DJ, Jason Herd. James had worked as a House music DJ in Australia and then "played everywhere from Italy to Greece, Spain, Japan and Mykonos". The pair first played together with Burns on guitar over James' rocky DJ set. Within a month of their first meeting, the duo created "I Like the Way", a song loosely based on Billy Idol's 1987 cover version of "Mony Mony" by Tommy James and the Shondells. Released as a single in April 2005, it reached No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart; No. 12 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart; and made the Top 20 on both the United States Billboard Hot Dance Club Play and Hot Dance Airplay Charts.
