Toy-Box was a Danish pop group, consisting of vocalists Anila Mirza and Amir El-Falaki. Mirza was born on October 8, 1974 in Hillerød, Denmark to a half-Pakistani, half-Iranian mother, and a Parsi father. El-Falaki was born August 12, 1973 in Copenhagen, Denmark to Moroccan parents. In 1999, they had some success in the Scandinavian music charts with a bubblegum pop song from their album FanTastic, named "Tarzan & Jane". "Tarzan & Jane" was championed by Smash Hits magazine in the United Kingdom in 1999, but their UK label Edel decided to hold back the release until later on in the year, to coincide with the release of Disney's Tarzan movie. They elected to release "Best Friend" first; although it received a lot of rotation on TV channel The Box, it only reached number 41 in the UK Singles Chart, and plans to release "Tarzan & Jane" were cancelled. Toy-Box's first album, FanTastic, included the hits "The Sailor Song", "Best Friend", "Super-Duper-Man", "Teddy-Bear" and "Tarzan & Jane". It was released in September 1999 and followed in 2001 by a second album, Toy Ride, which included fan-favorite songs "www.girl", "Prince of Arabia" and "Wizard of Oz". After the group broke up, El-Falaki worked as a dance teacher, music video choreographer and trainer to F.C. Copenhagen's cheerleading team. Mirza later changed her first name to Aneela and began a solo career, with limited success.[citation needed] When asked about another Toy-Box release, Aneela said, "I don't know, anything's possible."
