Mighty Mighty were an indie band formed in Birmingham, England in the mid-1980s.

History

Showing influences from Postcard Records bands such as Orange Juice, they came to prominence when featured on the NME's C86 compilation, at around the same time that they released their debut single "Everybody Knows The Monkey". This was soon followed by a 12" single, "Is There Anyone Out There?", before the band signed to Chapter 22 Records, releasing a string of well-received singles and the album Sharks in 1988. With their brand of indie pop giving way to American influenced rock and shoegazing, they split in 1988.

Continuing interest in the band saw the reissue of Sharks in 2000, the release of a compilation album of BBC session tracks in 2001, and two compilations of singles and unreleased tracks in 2000 and 2001.

They reformed for the Indietracks music festival in 2009.

They played Popfest Berlin in 2010, followed by Firestation Records of Berlin issuing their 'lost second album', The Betamax Tapes, on vinyl and CD, 25 years after it was recorded, in 2012.

"Mighty Mighty" is a song by R&B band Earth, Wind & Fire which was written by Maurice White and Verdine White. It was released in 1974 as a single and included on the band's 1974 album, Open Our Eyes.

"Mighty Mighty" peaked at numbers 4 and 29 on the Billboard R&B and Pop Singles charts.

Towards the end of the song, Philip Bailey utilizes his whistle register and successfully hits notes up to E♭7.
