"Unbelievable" is a song written and recorded by EMF. It hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on July 20, 1991. The song is one of controversy as it was never edited on radio and television despite containing the lyric "What the fuck was that", most likely slipping through censors because the offending lyric is very difficult to distinguish. Furthermore in the UK (where the band hailed from) the B Side of the single was a track called "EMF" which included the refrain "Ecstasy Mother-Fuckers".
"Unbelievable" is heard on the Kraft Velveeta TV Commercial, the song changed to "Crumbelievable".
"Unbelievable" has been covered by many other musical acts, from Anal Cunt to Tom Jones [1] It has recently been sampled by rapper Esham, where he has taken the chorus and riffs and made the song more sinister with heavy rap lyrics. It is also played in the movie "Coyote Ugly" during a bar dance scene and on the movie's soundtrack.
