MJ Hibbett and The Validators came to widespread online notice in 2000 with the first Internet single, Hey Hey 16K, an ode to the ZX Spectrum and other home microcomputers of the 1980s. Two million people downloaded the video in the first week. In 2004 he gained national exposure in the UK on BBC Radio 1 by regularly singing The Fair Play Trophy (again), a song whose lyrics were updated for each rendition to reflect the then-ongoing events of the football European Championships. In July 2006, the band played a BBC Radio 1 session for Steve Lamacq.

The Gay Train video is available here.
