10,000 Lovers (In One)
''"10,000 Lovers (In One)"'' is a hit single by the Norwegian band TNT, taken from their 1987 album, ''Tell No Tales''. It was written about a girl who TNT's vocalist at that time, Tony Harnell, knew. The single reached the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart in America, peaking at number 100 and earned the band a Norwegian Grammy. In 2006 TNT recorded a new version of the song together with the Norwegian rapper Vinni from the band Paperboys. This version included newly written and controversial rap lyrics, which fueled Harnell to make a statement.
