Doo-Wops & Hooligans - Bruno Mars
Doo-Wops & Hooligans

Doo-Wop’s & Hooligans is the debut studio album by Bruno Mars, released on October 4, 2010. The album’s lead single “Just The Way You Are” was released on July 20, 2010, followed by “Grenade” on the 28th of September. “The Lazy Song”, “Marry You” and “Count On Me” were later released as singles after the album’s success (which was certified as 7x platinum by the RIAA). The album’s title refers to the doo-wop music style, of which Bruno’s music is influenced. Mars later explained in an interview that the “doo-wop” part represents the girls, while the “hooligans” part points out at the guys, and he elaborated on this concept later on: I’m a big fan of doo-wop music, my album has a little bit of that influence, with the simplicity of it… You can listen to a thousand doo-wop songs, and it’s the same four chords. But it’s the message behind the song—its straight to the point and it’s beautiful. That’s what you call your girl, your “doo-wop.” I call my girlfriend my “doo-wop”! On this album, I have records that women are going to relate to and men are going to relate to. So, “doo-wops” are for the girls, and “hooligans” are for the guys.
