Their 1998 alternative top five hit "Got You (Where I Want You)", was produced by Chris Goss, and the video featured actors Katie Holmes and James Marsden. "Got You (Where I Want You)" was on their second album Holiday Man in 1998 and appeared on the soundtrack for the 1998 MGM film Disturbing Behavior, starring Holmes and Marsden. The single reached No. 5 on the Modern Rock Charts and the album reached No. 109 on Billboard.

A second single, "She's So Huge," was featured in the 2001 film Sugar & Spice, and The Crow: Salvation soundtrack, along with "What You Want." "She's So Huge" peaked at No. 32 on Modern Rock Charts.^[3] In 2000, The Flys released their third album, Outta My Way. The album contained the single "Losin' It", as well as two samples from two songs by the Beach Boys from their Pet Sounds album, "Here Today" and "Caroline, No".^[4][5]

Around 2007, the band recruited actor/musician Jordan Lawson to play bass, Rob Jones to play drums, and George Castells to play guitar. In 2008 they announced on their MySpace page that they had returned with an iTunes single (a cover of the Beatles' "Hey Jude") along with a remake of their biggest hit, entitled "Got You Where I Want You 2008." The Flys toured many times during the band's lifespan, opening for other well known groups. After their last tour, the band went on hiatus.
