Mimosa (album)

Mimosa is the first compilation album by American rap rock band Fun Lovin' Criminals. It was released on December 7, 1999 through Chrysalis Records/EMI. Composed of rarities, B-sides, remixes, and covers, it features some notable lounge music versions of the band's old songs, with the exception of "Bombin the L" which, as the title suggests, is performed in a fast swing music style.
