Obscure songs

[TalkInRiddles]

I was in the kitchen earlier chatting with dc when I got a random song in my head. So then I start singing it only for my son to look at me like I'd gone mad.

The song was Peaches by The Presidents of the United States of America.

It goes "Movin' to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches. Movin' to the country, gonna eat me a lot of peaches."

I seem to recall it came out in the mid-90s.

Let's play a game of what obscure songs do people remember 😊

Vicious
You hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
Oh, baby, you're so vicious

Oops, that’s Viciousby Lou Reed

Love that Peaches song.

I've never heard that one Judas. Might have a Google, see if it rings any bells

I don't know that song at all Judas, but I have to say it's very good. Could listen to it on repeat

Two Divided By Zero, first song on the first Pet Shop Boys album. Should have been a single! 'Tomorrow morning we'll be miles away, on another continent and another day' has always been a brilliant line.

That “yyoooouuuuu’re gorgeous, id do anything for you!” song

And also Wonderwall, but the really crap version by the guy who had a one hit wonder with it

Ah Shirley, that was the Mike Flowers version. It was so cheesy 😁😁😁

Self Control by Laura Branigan

Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walkin'
Down the street of my soul

You take my self, you take my self control
You got me livin' only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control

I often get Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by Flaming Lips stuck in my head.

Random mid nineties songs are the best. I remember this beauty:

@gofork - I have such fond memories of that song. Me and my brother trying to sing it in our deepest voices 😂 they were one-hit wonders weren't they?

I have Vibeology stuck in my head. Not sure if it's obscure?

OP..that just made me howl...I was standing woodwork in our new house when Peaches came on my Spotify. My FIL looked at me really strangely as I sang away. It is THE most bizarre song but I love it!

I love Birthday by the sugarcubes...Bjork at her finest and I can screech to it well!

Millions of peaches!

I love Self Control!

Also, 'Where have all the cowboys gone?' by Paula Cole.

I was singing this yesterday

We count only blue cars
Skip the cracks in the street and ask
Many questions like children often do
We said tell me all your thoughts on god
Cause I’d really like to meet her
And ask her why we’re who we are...

It’s called Counting Blue Cars, by Dishwalla. Was it popular in the UK? It’s somewhat obscure where I come from

You're Gorgeous and Peaches aren't particularly obscure songs though..m

For Spacious Lies by Beats International- now that's obscure.

I get a song I don't know who it's by that I try and get people to remember with me... No one ever does. Think it was on a smash hits tape free in the 90's...
A hundred pound for diet coke
And I went there BINGO! and I found out... Yes I discovered BINGO! what the fuss was about..

Repeat until someone stops me. That's all I know. No one else knows it. Wee band three lads.

Ps peaches is an ace song

I have no idea about that last one Spongeface. You said wee band, 3 lads and all I get in my head was that boy band 911. Wasn't them was it?

@Spongeface is this it?

Obscure is it you want?
How about Gee Mr Tracy and you make my house shine?

Candy Store from Heathers the musical. I think your mileage may vary on this one being obscure. If you’re into modern musical theatre then it probably won’t be, but it’s not exactly something being played on the radio regularly either. It’s been stuck in my head for weeks now.
