Their claim to fame primarily centres around their rendition of King Harvest’s American hit “Dancing in the Moonlight,” which transformed into a worldwide sensation for the band.

This is what they played at the Tory party conference.

One X user made fun of the group’s lack of well-known songs, writing: “Did they play all the hit?”

Another user said: “Save your ears, DO NOT click on the video. I repeat… DO NOT click on the video.”

A third user said: “Who?”

A fourth said: “Name 5 songs and 2 albums by Toploader without using your phone”

Toploader is an English rock band. The group consisting of the five members, Joesph Washbourn, Dan Hipgrave, Rob Green, Matt Knight and Julian Deane formed in 1997.

The latter two members dropped out of the band and the stars called it quits for many years.

The band reformed again in 2009 to release their 2011 album and later in 2017 released their fourth album.

The first album they released called Onka’s Big Moka, saw sales surpassing one million copies and secured a spot in the top 5 of the UK Albums Chart, where it held its position for a continuous six-month period.
