![]() " one of those amazing stories you hear, but never believe really happen," a Fueled by Ramen Records executive told Billboardin 2007. The band showcased a mix of infectious, keyboard-driven hip-hop and pop, not unlike rapper B.o.B. Lead singer Travie McCoy got the band's name from, yup, being an outcast in gym class, where he met the group's drummer, Matt McGinley. Their 2006 song "Cupid's Chokehold," a cover of the '70s tune "Breakfast in America," became a Billboard top 10 hit. ![]() Oh, and a band called Gym Class Heroes hit the scene like a suplex on a gym mat. To jog your memory (no pun intended), the Converse-sneaker-laden, Warped Tour era of pop music saw a wave of newcomers like Paramore and Katy Perry (more on that later). Remember in the 2000s when Gym Class Heroes had a " Cupid's Chokehold" on the pop charts?
