Dando spent some time in Australia to write songs with friends Nic Dalton and Tom Morgan, who later started the band Sneeze. Some of his songs formed the basis for The Lemonheads' fifth album, "It's a Shame About Ray". In 1992, The Lemonheads recorded a punk-inflected cover of Simon and Garfunkel's hit "Mrs. Robinson" to help promote the VHS release of "The Graduate" film for its 25th anniversary. The song reached number 19 on the UK Singles Chart in December 1992, and was included in the album's re-release as a bonus track. Dando's face appeared on several magazine covers, and "People" listed him among the "50 Most Beautiful People". In an interview with "Q" magazine, he admitted he smoked crack cocaine and regretted it. In late 1993, the group released the album "Come on Feel the Lemonheads", which featured singles "Style", "The Jello Fund", and "Into Your Arms". During the group's touring in 1994, Dando befriended Oasis and appeared at some of their live shows. He also made a cameo appearance at the end of the 1994 film "Reality Bites" with Karen Duffy.
