Wet Wet Wet were a successful Scottish pop band of the 1980s and 1990s and scored a number of hits in the British charts, and around the world. They were formed in Clydebank, Scotland in 1982. They took their name from the Scritti Politti song, Gettin, havin' and holdin'. In 1994 Wet Wet Wet had their biggest hit, with a cover version of the Troggs single "Love is All Around", which was a huge international success, and spent 15 weeks at Number 1 in the British charts. Only Pellow's insistence on deletion (he was bored of its chart domination, and overheard people complaining about it) prevented the song from possibly equalling and breaking, the record for the longest-standing Number 1 single, held by Bryan Adams.

East Of The River Lyrics
Wet Wet Wet
Gotta gotta know
I see the sun in your eyes
Let me take your hand
And well go to wonderland
Bet youve asked silly questions
Like do I still love you
Better than eating, honey
Cos youre the girl from the east of the river
They all went mad on the way out west end
But weve all bet our bottom dollar
That my archfull flame
Will win you over
Cos Im the lie
That tells the truth
Cos youre the girl from the east of the river
Where all the grass is greener
And out pockets
Are all paved with gold
Please turn to gold
Please return to old east of the river
But it wont work with nobody but you
Cos youre the girl from the east of the river
