Its single "Hey There Delilah" has spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Hey hey, Shirley is SCOTTISH! ;) Their band mates are Americans... Edited February 20, 201411 yr by
August 3, 200717 yr Author Hey hey, Shirley is SCOTTISH! ;) Their band mates are Americans... PS when she speaks she has that lovely Scottish accent (check any interviews with her) When she sings you can't notice that accent so easily... :D PS2 the real Garbage fanbase is in Europe and Australia. Maybe that's why they don't included "Tell Me Where It Hurts" on AG DVD for USA -_- sorry.had a brain fart.they had been gone so long.i knew there was american and scottish in there.are u in romania or scotland?
