How Bizarre (song)
"How Bizarre" is a hit single written and recorded by New Zealand musical group OMC. It was released in December 1995 as the lead single from the group's debut album of the same name, and went on to top the charts in at least six countries. Outside New Zealand, the song is considered a one-hit wonder, whereas OMC had further successful singles in New Zealand, including "Land of Plenty". The song featured in 1998 movies Palmetto and Disney's The Parent Trap.
Music video
A music video was released to help promote the single. The video has the lead singer, Pauly Fuemana, driving a 1968 Chevrolet Impala. It also pictures him dancing, singing, throwing around money and breathing fire. It was a second version, directed by Lee Baker, and released very late in 1995 just as "How Bizarre" went to number one in NZ. Shot on a soundstage in Ponsonby and at Ellerslie Racecourse for a budget of $7,000 from NZ On Air, it was shown on US networks about 15,000 times in 1997 and 1998. Besides Pauly, it features backing vocalist Sina Saipaia, and a Filipino guy named Hill who stood in for Brother Pele.

How Bizarre
by: OMCSiale?s gone away and she?s never comin? back here again
I understand, I know where you?re comin? from
Just take your time, you've planned this since the first time we met, oh
Are you ever comin? back? Are you ever comin? back?
Are you ever comin? back? Are you ever comin? back?
Are you ever comin? back? Are you ever comin? back again?
First time I saw you, you were crowned in silver
You?re hair full of fire, I guess you would have been a goddess
Incognito, hiding all my lies, and this year, I was more than content
Ten times my eyes glanced upon your temple
But I never imagine my deep fantasies
In case you really had another lover, another brother
I know your name is desire
The words you speak chocolate coated whispers
You have a style so unique and pure
A vision from up above, I think I?m infatuated by your spirit
As you passed by my eyes
I?m like a little child mesmerized by your magic
Well, ten times my eyes glanced upon your temple
Well, ten times my eyes glanced upon your temple
Time flies when you?re havin? fun
Well, time flies when you?re havin? fun
Well, time flies when you?re havin? fun, well, time flies
Siale?s gone away and she?s never comin? back here again
I understand, I know where you?re comin? from
So take your time, you've planned this since the first time we met
Are you ever comin? back? Are you ever comin? back?
Are you ever comin? back? Are you ever comin? back?
Are you ever comin? back? Are you ever comin? back again?
Time flies when you?re havin? fun
Well, time flies when you?re havin? fun
Well, time flies when you?re havin? fun, well, time flies
Siale?s gone away and she?s never comin? back here again
I understand, I know where you?re comin? from
Just take your time, you've planned this since the first time we met
Are you ever comin? back? Are you ever comin? back?
Are you ever comin? back? Are you ever comin? back?
Are you ever comin? back? Are you ever comin? back again?
