In 2002, Russian duo t.A.T.u. consisting of Lena Katina and Yulia Vokova released the catchy dance tune All The Things She Said. The song talks about a girl falling for another girl and the dilemma she faces as she can't get the other girl out of her mind ("All the things she said ... running through my head").
Pretty soon, much of the world couldn't get the tune out of their minds and the song reached number one in numerous countries including Australia, Japan and, of course, the UK. In the USA, this song reached No. 20 in the Billboard charts. Not bad, considering that numerous tv shows including Richard & Judy tried to get the song banned not least of all for the controversial music video ...
Even though the music video shows Lena and Yulia kissing, the girls themselves have always maintained that they are not lesbians (and Yulia in fact became pregnant some time after). However, the lipstick lesbian fantasy have persisted and the girls do sometimes play it up to the crowd. The girls went on to have other hits like Not Gonna Get Us and to showcase in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Moscow.
