MKTO, however, goes from classic to slightly cloying on its breakthrough, and presumably only, hit. Especially when the rap verse comes in. Walt from Lost left the island for this?

Currently, MKTO’s criminally catchy single, “Classic,” is climbing the U.S. charts — but many people still haven't even heard of the band! Well, it’s time to change that.

The musicians might reminisce about Old Hollywood in "Classic," but MKTO's first album proves that right now is their time, no questions asked.

So happy together: Like the name MKTO, which combines the initials of singers Malcolm Kelley and Tony Oller, the duo blends genres on its bubbly breakthrough Classic. "I love pop and rap," Oller says.

"Classic" effectively riffs on the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back," and aggressive album opener "Thank You" is dedicated to the "misfit kids and total outcasts" - MKTO in initial form.

"Classic" by MKTO, released in 2013, was a hit on social media app Musical.ly, the predecessor to TikTok.
