Loser on a plain with a spoonman that smells like teen spirit bulls on parade giving it away to a wonderwall rooster saying “where is it, alive?” to a bullet with butterfly wings of the karma police - The 90’s
And I’m pretty damn proud of what I just wrote.
Good morning.
save ferris come on eileen (by rvrbcbc)
Also, more cheesy covers.
Reel Big Fish - Take On Me (by ReelBigFishVEVO)
More random covers. WARNING: Ska.
Fastball - The Way
And with one of the best lyrics ever written, we bid goodbye to this short trip back to the generation where having cargo pants was not frowned upon.
Thank you. (for not unfollowing me)
Stone Temple Pilots - Plush
Random choice because this song is one of the best songs ever recorded.
So where you going tommorrow with that mask I found?
Pulp - Disco 2000
Another bright example of Jarvis Cocker definite weirdness. Pulp held the distinction (though not in this particular song) of making some music that didn’t seem to go alongside the lyrics. It didn’t stop people from claiming they were the Rolling Stones, despite the fact that the Rolling Stones aren’t going to dissapear until Keith Richards dies, which is set roughly in the next ten thousand years, just the same time Cher and the cockroaches dissapear.
EDIT: Oops now it’s the real video.
Bush - Machine Head
Scientifically, this has been revealed to be the best song to play on guitar and the best song to sing when you’re two bottles down.
(you know what they say about science)
The Impression that i get - Mighty Mighty Bosstones
These guys had a member which did nothing but dance during the shows.
I think he later played the triangle or something, but I remember watching Clueless with Alicia Silverstone and being really clueless about what the hell was up with that guy.
Train - Drops of Jupiter
BUT TELL ME (DID YOU SAIL ACCROSS) THE SUN
DID YOU (MAKE IT TO THE) MILKY WAY
TO SEE THE LIGHTS ALL FADED
(AND THAT HEAVEN) IS OVERRATED
TELL ME, (DID YOU FALL FOR A SHOOTING) STAR
(ONE WITHOUT A PERMANENT SCAR)
(AND DID YOU MISS ME WHILE YOU WERE LOOKING FOR YOURSELF) OUT THERE
(Replace everything between parenthesis with “NANANANANA” and you get what roughly 87% of people sang while drunk listening for this song)
The Wallflowers - 6th Avenue Heartache
The same black line that was drawn on you was drawn on me and it was drawn to you sixth avenue heartache
what the fuck
Also, great song by a band that actually enjoyed its moment in the spotlight.
Duncan Sheik - Barely Breathing
The ultimate one hit wonder and the ultimate test if you really lived the 90’s. If you can recgonize this song, congratulations, you’re probably at least 25 years old.
Don’t speak - No doubt
All three of you paying attention.
You were waiting for this one.
Put on that dumb face and sing in falsetto because you can’t go high enough and growl at the part of “Aaaas we dieee both youuu and IIII”.
Third Eye Blind - Semi Charmed Kind of Life
If I had to choose one song to show the world what the 90’s were, I’d probably pick this one out of spite: it’s the quintessesial 90’s song. Something about the dumb lyrics, the repetitive guitar riff with excessive, the vocals, the general blandness of the whole decade is packed into this annoyingly catchy song.
Of course, it doesn’t really matters because Smash Mouth is probably more famous because they made a donkey sing one of their songs and were more ska.
