Whatever Happened to Simon and Milo, Disney's Animated Band? (Prozzak & Get a Clue)

Back in the early 2000's, Disney created an animated music video for a band called "Simon and Milo" that was used in the Disney Channel Original Movie, "Get a Clue." But their story doesn't start or end there, so I wanted to talk about Simon and Milo, also known as Prozzak, and everything that happened to them since nobody else really has.

Milo is the original chad

[@jasonbuckelew6250]

I’m kinda disappointed you didn’t cover Sucks To Be You. Obviously Disney would never approve of the song where Simon calls himself a bastard throughout the whole thing.

[@AlecComes]

Yeah, sorry about that! Funny you say that though, in filming I did react to it! But I didn’t really have anything funny or of substance to say about the song or the music video unfortunately, so I just cut it from the video. I also reacted to www.nevergetoveryou but the same thing happened where I had very little to say about it.

[@spellfire2098]

love that song also there was an in matrix online wedding was djing and the bride was late so played it then turned out shed stood him up completely lol felt kind of bad after lol also matrix online had a bit of a rep for being almost as horny as simon lol

[@rwolff01]

@@AlecComes I mean, it was played on music channels and probably hung around in charts. How i remember the song, it was everywhere at the time

[@MadnessOfMonkeys]

Prozzäk is one of the inspirations and influences on us as a band

[@MadnessOfMonkeys]

Our lead singer was introduced to them back in the day when using ICQ. ICQ promoted www.nevergetoveryou because of the use of ICQ sound effects

[@SgtBilby]

some footnotes 1. Disney didn't make Simon and Milo/Prozzak - Disney's then label "Hollywood Records" licensed them from Sony/Epic's canadian branch 2. Hollywood/Disney relabled Prozzak as Simon and Milo due to concerns over confusion and legal action from the people behind the Prozac pill 3. Ready Ready Set Go is just a hodgepodge of songs from the albums Hot Show and Saturday People (both i highly recommend listening on their own) with the song "Get A Clue" 4. Apart from Get A Clue, Strange Disease was used as the theme song for Comedy Central's TV Movie "Porn and Chicken" (yes, that's a real tv movie - look it up) 5. Disney scrapped the cartoon because of the song Sucks To Be You 6. During and After the Misfire under Disney, Jay Levine and James McCollum formed Left Hook Music and continued Prozzak independently from Sony until their disbandment of Prozzak 2 years ago 7. Prozzak's last single before they disbanded was "Love Me Tinder" (it was an ok song tbh) 8. Prior to Disney, Their only exposure in the US was on MTV's 120 Minutes via the music video for Sucks To Be You

[@jonleibow3604]

I was like, "What, Disney?" I knew them as a side project from The Philosopher Kings and watched their videos on MuchMusic.

[@s3np411]

The true love is between Simon and Milo.

[@allisonbolton7868]

before this video i felt like the only person alive who remembered simon & milo... omobolasire is my go-to song to cheer up.... this video is everything i ever wanted.

[@mrflipperinvader7922]

Disney extreme skate adventure

[@2gameprinc]

SAME!

[@milkyoni]

STRANGE DISEASE IS NOT ABOUT AN STD. The strange disease he's talking about is being lovesick / hurt / unable to move on after a break up because he wants her back. Not sure if I can take anything you said as fact after that :/

[@naomi9413]

copied from a reply alec made: Yeah, I kinda got confused because the prozzak pilot that I talk about near the end is about Strange Disease, and the girl Simon is with says Simon has an STD in it, so I just figured as much, but listening to it some more, it's more about simon getting heart broken. Ah well, my mistake!

[@dachickensandwich]

Imagine getting triggered over a sentence of misinfo over a cartoon band

[@prozzak_]

ive been hyperfixated and researching about prozzak for almost a year now, the things he says afterward are true😋

[@Idkidkidkidkidkidkidkdude]

Simon and Milo were really one of my childhood staples. I always kept Get A Clue on a loop playing Disney’s Xtreme Skate and would never get tired. Really loved all of their albums as a kid and still do ! I can relate to them more being older , 90’s - 00’s pop was really something to remember. When I found out they also went by prozzak it was one of the most confusing yet coolest moments ever. I really wish they’d come back The Forever 1999 tour just wasn’t enough ! This is a great video !!

[@vibey1443]

Yes! They were one of my favorite animated music groups besides Gorillaz way back in the day. Thank you for making a video documentary about them and their story. I hoped someone one day would.

[@christhornycroft3686]

Never knew this was a Disney show. Weird, because Prozzak wasn’t exactly kid friendly. The late 90s weren’t very kid friendly and that’s what I loved about it. Even cartoon musicians had edge.

[@walidbentaher]

i think thats the reason why they dont work with disney anymore lmao

[@ProcrastinatorProductions]

Also, apparently according to Wikipedia, "On May 22, 2022, Prozzäk reunited to perform at "Fizzfest" in Toronto, opening for Bran Van 3000."

[@theedandyman]

Get a clue pop into my head randomly tonight. Next i'm learning their history and the wars the fought in. What a wonderful day, thanks for posting.

[@Smeagol68047]

S A M E

[@rosinna18]

This was a wild ride I was not expecting to take today but I'm glad I did lmao

[@GrandCorsair]

Enemies to lovers but Simon can't see how much Milo loves him but he still wants to see him happy even if it's not with him. Ironically his soulmate was right there. If true love is not a someone who would hunt down your ex to get your cat back I don't know what is. lol

[@hash6321]

This was such an engaging video! I was JUST playing Get a Clue and thought, “this music video seems like a set-up for something more.” I understand artistic integrity, but I honestly would have loved to see the Disney re-brand come into fruition. I thought the redesigns look amazing, and the band is definitely talented. Who knows what could have been? Thanks for making this!

[@blankscreen1945]

This game did a really good job documenting the history of Prozzak. I was worried that you wouldn't document some of the finer details like the animated show pitch but you really did cover everything. Good work I hope you Keep making videos!

[@paulagwhyte1720]

Aww, I WANT THEM BACK!!! I'm from Canada and I've always loved Prozzak!!

[@TreasuredHarte]

First time I heard Prozzak, there was a tv show titled Popular. "Sucks to be you" was in one of the televised episodes.

[@blueaurora03]

I really enjoyed this little documentation of Prozzäk's history! I wasn't around when they were at the height of their popularity, but I did end up discovering them some years ago and totally loving their stuff (I'm very enthusiastic for '90s dance pop, and they blend it so well with pop-rock, 60s psychedelia, latin, among other things). I think I should say that the Cruel Cruel World album, which was a foray into indie rock, was a very good album. It didn't do well, and the choices with the art style were confusing, but there's really some great and underrated cuts on it like the title track, I Want to Be Loved, It's Not So Bad, Starting Over, but I'd say all of it was solid. Definitely less upbeat, but very melodic and emotive. They were a very fun and unique band, love all their stuff, and this video was really cool too, great job!!

[@jdewitt]

Just caught this in 2024 and I gotta thank you for a great dive into a pretty much forgotten band. I first ran into Prozzak in my 30s when "Sucks to be you" showedbup on MTV2 on a trip to Mexico. I was an animator at the time and was stunned. "Who are these guys?" "Where did they come from?" "Why is this song so damn listenable?" They've been a guilty pleasure ever since and I thank you for digging into their wacky history!

[@JesterTheNightmare]

Just so you know, the animator for Cruel Cruel world, was the same guy who worked on the Gorillaz.

[@LoneAntyTCG]

I discovered Prozzak differently. Found them on Apple Music and was listening to Canadian artists from the 90s and their songs popped up lol.

[@Jack-vp9kl]

Videos like this are why I still use KZbin. I love stuff like this

[@Paprikaboo]

DUDE I need to find these tiktoks and I can’t and now I’m crying

[@rroketa]

Man the intro really reminds me of when my mom asked what I was listening to when I was listening to prozzak

[@arcane_abomination]

I’m 34 and STILL listen to their music

[@draperpj]

I was a teen in 2000, and I don't quite remember how I found Prozzak, but i think I heard "Sucks to Be You" or their cover of "Wild Thing" somewhere. I always felt like I was the only person who knew of them. I just listened to them in the car on a road trip today, so I was tickled to find this video. I had no idea they worked with Disney.

[@Barjack521]

I remember Prozzak getting played on Much music back in the early 90's.

[@pocketpapa7107]

This is my new favourite video

[@Acquired_Tastes]

You deserve so many more subscribers so keep going you’re amazing and this was hilarious and so entertaining love you bro my new favorite KZbinr forreal ❤

[@connorbeith3232]

I feel like including Simon's wife kinda complicates the premise of Simon finding love when he's already found love irl.

[@jamesmitchell6361]

Honestly my favourite band. Really glad to see this, it was fantastic.

[@Linkfan007]

Thank you for making this video btw, good work on the research, history behind the band and sharing it. Funny video too! ^_^ I didnt know they were still active and then just recently put the band to rest. I had no idea of this cartoon series they made.

[@Sassie.J]

I introduced a Canadian friend to these guys yesterday... Glad this came up on my recommendations because of it. Was heckin good to see ^^ Thanks man.

[@patriciaAmurray]

@15:48 I’m amazed that they blatantly stole the melody from “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite. LOL.

[@skolstice6195]

I keep coming back to this vid, you seriously deserve so many more views

[@jeffperry6885]

first two albums came out 1998 and 2000 respectively. The video game (you said) came out 2003 and Get a Clue came out 2002. So........

[@Cynidecia]

i found out about the band from a DJ playlist of all things. I love that there's a detailed video going into depth on such a specific thing.

[@illyrium129]

You got me with the Disney Extreme Skate Adventure, damn.

[@dingusmyers]

How do you not have more views? More subscribers??? This was a great video, good on ya.

[@sarahkoning659]

They are back! 🎉 I just read they will be in Edmonton Alberta for a pride event - 90s theme concert 😍

[@theflowerpot98]

no one’s talking about “it’s not me it’s you “ luv that song

[@Flamquill]

So, I think I'm the only one who never knew Prozzak worked for Disney. I mainly knew them from the Sucks To Be You song and only knew them as Prozzak. Because of all that, I thought they were obscure.

[@AlecComes]

No worries, I think you are by no means the only one who didn't know about Prozzak and Disney working together, which is why I made the video to share that knowledge with people!

[@jasonlefebvre1076]

I still listen to prozzak to this day. One ig the best underrated bands ever lol

[@oldladytrexarms]

Get A Clue was the Disney movie premiere that laid to rest the dumb rumors that Bug Hall (Alfalfa from The Little Rascals movie) wasn't dead. My sisters and I hated that rumor as kids and was glad it was false. We actually heard Simon and Milo/Prozzak a lot on Disney Channel (they premiered music videos like Blue Daba Dee and C'est La Vie by B*Witched which my sister and I have fond memories of) and we also fell in love with their other songs that were played all over MTV and VH1 and spread through different shows and movies at the time. We've always called them the Gorillaz before the Gorillaz existed. My sisters and I always felt like weird outsiders who were the only ones to remember this band. Glad to see your vid. I'll be sharing it with my sisters. :)

[@BlakeBlackstone]

I found out about Prozzak from an interview with a late 90's/early 2000's Canadian rock band called Scratching Post. And I found out about Scratching Post from The Tom Green Show back when he was doing talk shows on TV. Kind of a way different story than most I assume. LOL Actually I had no idea they were affiliated with Disney or any of this stuff until I watched this video.

[@agamingpotato]

prozzak was my top band as a kid. ive still got a bunch of their music on my phone and introduced my gf to it and now we sign and dance to it every once and awhile

[@elektratorgersen1914]

Prozzak is not a Disney creation, they are not called "Simon and Milo" those are the characters names not the band name, they disbanded in 2019 (I was at the farewell tour).

[@sSynclare]

i was jamming to this shit when i was like 5 y/o and im a hella sucker for nostalgia so i looked up a few songs and saw this. thank you for this and greatly edited video man u earned my sub

[@RedlineF80]

Sucks to be you randomly came to mind on my way home and here I am lol. Simon's detached head always drew my attention growing up.

[@TZER0]

I do miss those guys. I hope they finally found love and loved happily ever after.

[@spencercorpuz]

Loved Simon and Milo growing up!! I didn't think anyone else knew about them! I had a signed cd by them somewhere

[@MissNeko76]

Yup Canadian and had the CD in 1999/2000.....lol

[@animefun345]

I didn't know i needed this... thank you! Thank you for the time and research. It's nice to know despite a decade they still had fans that came to see their shows! I would love to see a video about the zenon movie songs or pixel perfect songs!! Do more videos like this!!! Love it

[@PurpleHouseComedy]

i randomly remembered this band rn and then found this video. thank you.

[@Gerokero]

I fucking love prozzak. Saw them a couple of days ago at fizz fess and they were amazing

[@AlecComes]

Oh my god, if they are making a comeback, I’m gonna freak out, that would be amazing

[@yodelingcomputers]

@@AlecComes they are, they're coming out of retirement and they're doing another performance soon i think !!!

[@NA-df3ff]

Idk how discovered this channel but this dude is Funny 😂😂😂

[@pusheenqueen519]

Love this video, Prozzak and Bowling for Soup were my childhood.

[@VinnyMartello]

I remember seeing “get a clue” on TV a solid 20 years ago and I literally haven’t seen it since.

[@darkscythreaper7609]

Except u never mentioned they released a cd with its not me its you music video with toaster strudel

[@jasonkushinsky618]

Sucks to be you popped into my head today outta no where and that's how I got here.

[@ELEcomments]

I remember Prozzak it's very nostalgic to me as a Canadian. They used to play Sucks To Be You on the radio all the time and my siblings and I loved it. (mostly because the word bastard made us giggle. we were kids)

[@jasonkushinsky618]

I had this CD before this movie existed. I never knew or thought they were involved with Disney i think they were just a band. And Simon always loses the girl every song is about that.

[@johnpuchyr4322]

Was the History of Simon and Milo the first ASMR?

[@themangomanjuice]

Interesting retrospective.

[@horton712]

Appreciate everything about this… thank you.

[@FortuitousOwl]

Amazing video! This was so nostalgic

[@scooda]

I was so certain DESA wasn’t gonna come up. 😭 That game and its soundtrack kicks ass and it definitely deserves its place in this video! Speaking of which, I could never find anything on “Perfect Kinda Day” by Lisa W. It seems like at least that version of the song is completely exclusive to DESA!

[@iatetoomuchhotstuffhelp]

bro i have heard of prozzak before i dont need an essay on the songs they make

[@iatetoomuchhotstuffhelp]

also reason 3 you heard about it from friends and family

[@user-iw5wm6ig4x]

i heard about them on much music

[@eltraut]

Number one reason, you are Canadian and grew up through the 90s early 2000s

[@darkeen42]

Anybody know about the song Chloe the chicken I think it's by them too

[@NopeNoJoke]

I learned about prozzak from a friend and loved hot show.

[@ryan.refrigerator]

Yes Disney Extreme Skate!!

[@otaking3582]

As a kid, I kinda hated this song because of how often it played on Disney Channel between commercials and on Radio Disney..

[@ElectrifiedMayhem]

loved the video

[@Eijimiji]

Most people know prozzak from MTV before that movie... I'm canadian and I never seen prozzak as a Disney band

[@goblinor]

i found this band one time i was at a thrift store i saw one of their albums and i looked it up on spotify or youtube and really liked it, I shouldve bought that damn cd..

[@williamdevonshire356]

ya Prozzak was lit. Euro dance beats with like pop love songs. ooo lalala, and they were one of my influences to want to make music when i was a kid. the song Anna Lisa is one of the prettiest songs ever

[@ZhadowFalcon]

oh i didn't know they were on disney

[@LazyChillZone]

I'm Canadian so I have!

[@viksjolt1]

i travelled to canada in 2001, i was 10 and heard prozzak for the first time and really enjoyed all their songs and bought their cd and played the crap out of that disk. After coming back to India i even managed to 'somehow' get their next album as well. Songs still hold up, crazy. (ofcourse didn't get any sexual innuendos back then. Explains why my parents seemed uncomfortable in the car though lol.)

[@jasonkushinsky618]

Swartzenehger would play milo in a movie back in the day lol.

[@6canadian6winter6]

This was so weird because this was on tv a bunch when I was a kid in Ontario but they made a song called “be as” and it has a line in it saying “be as gay as you want to be” so obviously back in the early 2000s kids would make fun of this band all the time and i remember no one wanted to say they listened to Prozzak because the older kids would call you gay ...

[@xAce0322x]

I used to play Disney skate too 😭

[@endlesswanderingboy9429]

i cried

[@ThatReplyGuy]

Pretty sure Strange Disease is about heartbreak, not an STI. Also, It's Not Me, It's You uses the music from the Nutcracker.

[@mmurph]

Nobody wants to acknowledge the fact that Simon has no neck?

[@AlfredoGomez-kp4cf]

I'm now genuinely sad and I didn't really expect that from this video

[@Tamashi88]

... I remember Prozzak being interviewed on YTV (youth television, Canadian cable show) back in the 90s... I turned 8 in 2000.... why was I exposed to Strange Disease when I was

[@technetrium]

i saw them live a few months ago lol

[@sambaroglio1234]

I think the lgbtq song is nice, not racist. I mean, how else are they supposed to express it?

would you believe me if i said i had to type prozzak but then suddenly realize there was probably a space after that word and had to remove it JUST TO FIND this video
