Most people became familiar with anonyMous after watching the music video for [[Break It Down]], which is often credited to Tally Hall, even though it technically is not a Tally Hall song. However, in 2006, Tally Hall did rewrite this song, adding in a chorus and basically made it into a standard pop song. They played it a couple times, but it quickly disappeared from their set.
