Good lord,

That's a gorgeous song!

I remember this one thread kinda like this back in the day where ethan/trife professed a love for that song that went "she don't eat meat but she sure like the bone" and being dumbfounded by it.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 19:41 (nineteen years ago) link

I was dumbfounded by his love for it, I mean.

It's an amazing song, but once I start singing it in my head I can't stop.

MC 900 Ft Jesus "If I Only Had a Brain"

esp if you watched Beavis & Butt-head..

How about that "I'm drowin' . . I'm burnin' . . I'm bleeding to death . EVERYTHING'S FINE!!!". Who on earth did that song? Sort of an Alanis Morrisette-style thing.

-- A / F#m / Bm / D (pau...), April 6th, 2005.

Tracy Bonham - "Mother Mother"

That was an awesome video, daria. And I think i did see it on beavis & Butthead.

And I don't recognize the Gabrielle song either. I dimly remember hearing her name, but I must not have been listening to pop radio or watching MTv when it came out.

It is TOTALLY time for another D'Angelo album. Been about 7 years since the last one, so he's due.

Also, totally time for another D'Angelo tour...I've heard nothing but stellar reviews from his Voodoo tour.

"New Age Girl", Deadeye Dick. Funny, this was going through my head shortly before bed a few nights ago. And I couldn't for the life of me figure out why, 'cause I haven't heard it since it was a hit.

xpost: Gabrielle's "Dreams" owns.

That How Bizarre song

― Jay Watts III (jaywatts), Thursday, 7 April 2005 20:50 (nineteen years ago) link

Who did that horrible hi-NRG type hit from around 1996 that went something like "WAAAAAAHdiscopop! You know you wanna make my mine! You know you wanna make mine!" and for its verse just repeated "I'm gonna get you baby... I'm gonna get you, yes I am!"? Urgh...that unnerved the hell out of me but I think I'll finally forget it when I learn what it's called and who does it...

Whoever did that song "Mr. Personality"...and then some other alternative radio staple that sounded very dated at the time (it sounded like something they'd play for the intro of E!'s Talk Soup or something...very 80's, sounding a bit like Momus' "I Was a Maoist Intellectual" at higher BPM) and I think it repeated something like "ex-junkie born again didn't have a clue" a hundred times over.

I've rekindled a long term relationship with this one today.

― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 5 June 2014 22:39 (ten years ago) link

Title of this thread is basically why I listened to all the NOWs of the 90s a while back. Got some real forgotten gems on there. And by 'gems' I mean songs that were awful but somehow I can identify it within 3 seconds and know every word.

A while ago I was at the supermarket and I heard a song that I consider a candidate for the most generic 90's one hit wonder possible, at least in terms of North American hits. A song that I definitely recognized, but was completely unable to place the identity of the band and had to Shazam it, and still didn't recognize the band name.
