80s band making a comeback due to popular Netflix show.
It's been over two decades since the infamous Milli Vanilli lip-syncing scandal rocked the world, but now the European pop duo is making a surprising comeback. Fabrice Morvan and Rob Pilatus, also known as Milli Vanilli, were at the center of one of the biggest scandals in pop history, becoming the first act to have their Grammy revoked. However, thanks to Netflix, they are experiencing a resurgence in popularity.

In the late 80s, Milli Vanilli shot to stardom with their catchy hits like "Girl You Know It's True" and "Keep On Running." They were on top of the world, earning three number-one singles in the US and being named Best New Artist at the Grammys. But their success came to a halt when it was revealed that they were not the actual voices behind their hits and were, in fact, lip-syncing. This shocking revelation resulted in their downfall.

Now, the recent release of Ryan Murphy's "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story" on Netflix has sparked a resurgence in Milli Vanilli's popularity. The mini-series has received criticism for its portrayal of the Menendez brothers' relationship and story, but it has also brought attention to the music featured in the show.

One of the songs featured in the series is "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You," which was played at the funeral of Jose and Kitty Menendez. According to author Robert Rand, who wrote a book about the Menendez murders, Lyle Menendez chose this song to be played at his parents' funeral because it expressed his and his brother Erik's feelings. Since the series premiered, this song has seen a 258% increase in popularity and streams.

But "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You" wasn't the only Milli Vanilli song featured in the series. "Blame It On the Rain" and "Girl You Know It's True" were also included, resulting in a 68% and 32.5% increase in streams, respectively. Fans of the show have also taken to social media to express their newfound love for Milli Vanilli's music.

This surge in interest in Milli Vanilli comes after the release of a 2023 documentary about the duo's rise and fall from fame. Sadly, Rob Pilatus passed away in 1998 at the age of 32, but Fabrice Morvan is still making music today. The duo's story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of chasing fame and the consequences of not fully understanding the terms of a contract.

Despite their past controversies, Milli Vanilli's music continues to resonate with audiences, and their songs are still being played and enjoyed today. "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story" is available to stream on Netflix, and fans can't get enough of the iconic Milli Vanilli songs featured in the series. It just goes to show that even after all these years, Milli Vanilli's music still has the power to captivate and inspire.
