Saint Etienne are an English band consisting of Bob Stanley, Pete Wiggs, Sarah Cracknell. The name comes from the French football team of the same name. They are best known for the song, "He's on the phone", which was a reworking of Etienne Daho's "Week-end a Rome."

"You're in a bad way" marked their biggest hit in the UK in this time. After a change of style into folk music laced with electronica, "He's on the phone" in 1995 returned them
