La Bouche means The Mouth in French. Named after the 'big mouth' that vocalist Melanie Thornton has. The producers didn't think 'The Mouth' was an appropriate name for a dance-act, so they decided to go with the French translation, "La Bouche".

The first single, "Sweet Dreams (o la o la e)", was a big hit in Germany and France in early 1994. This single could be found on the soundtrack of an cartoon ('Asterix & Obelix') movie. In the rest of Europe the success of this single was mediocre.
