Any one else with a favourite song from the nineties that no one else remembers?

[Specksofwhiteallaround]

Mine is Operaa House by Malcolm McLaren. I spent many a happy hour being driven through New Zealand as a kid torturing my parents by singing along to this and Aria on Air but no one I’ve meet seems to know of it. Still absolutely adore it as an adult but sadly no better at singing it.

Gorgeous rendition of one of the best songs of the decade.

Everyone knows it, but few know it like this. Starts after 2:50

Its absolutely brilliant and if anyone likes that stuff then play Tay FM on your smart speaker fridays from 7pm with the GBX George Bowie Experience.

We nearly had Spanish Dance Troupe as the first dance at our wedding! Mainly for the lyrics at the end.

I could be here forever with 90s pianohouse/house/rave/techno

@pinotgrigeeeeo terrific song

Love that song, so catchy.

this! Hippy Chick

and

Kylie throwing out her SA&W legacy. Goodness, I got some stick for playing this on repeat via my ghetto blaster in the nurses home 😂

i've found my tribe!

Took my Love - Bizarre Inc

I came here to say exactly this!!!! I bloody LOVED that song. Made up a wee dance to it and everything. Nobody ever remembers it so it’s nice to meet a kindred spirit

@OliviaRodrighost Came to post this and you beat me to it! Absolutely love this song, have it on 7" vinyl... seriously underrated tune... we had that beaded curtain too :)

The beauty of youtube is theres literally days worth of rave and house tunes from those days. Anyone in that genre will no doubt know the clubs of their area for those 1990-1997ish days but feel free to look up The Venue Spennymoor, Coliseum Rave Stockton or New Monkey Sunderland for all those old mixtapes and live recordings.

Wasn’t I Quit by Hepburn?

For me it’s: Breathe a Little Deeper by Blameless - criminal that this isn’t better known, Farewell to Twilight by Symposium.

Omg, that's a core memory unlocked right there! Late Night Love with Graham Torrington!

I loved Kylie’s brief Indie Chick phase. Did It Again and Some Kind of Bliss are hugely underrated songs.

Breathe - Kylie Minogue
Fascinating Rhythm - Bassomatic

I LOVE this song, often have it on in the car where no one can hear my high pitched singing

All massive hits, that everyone remembers.

@RichardOsmansFreakishlyBigHand
how freaky you list those venues....
i am from that area but was away at the other end of the country during those days so only dabbled on rare weekends 'home'. i was sadly dragged to the Top Hat in Spenny by mates who stayed local rather than the places I wanted to go to but the blue monkey in sunderland is legendary and i managed to get there a few times with messy effect but great memories!

Oh I remember Crucified! They always played that on MTV around teatime. And Sin With Sebastian - Shut Up (And Sleep With Me).

Just seen them tonight, on the first night of the tour, you are in for a treat!

Nice Guy Eddie - Sleeper.

I was a raver and also into reggae, hip hop & R&B in the 90s, so most of the music I liked was never mainstream,
Thinking of stuff I liked that charted - not so much that nobody knows these tunes, but more that I rarely hear them anywhere…

Devotion - Nomad
Fascinating Rhythm - Bassomatic
Ghetto Heaven - Family Stand
7 Ways 2 Love - Cola Boy
Dont be a Stranger - Dinah Carroll

Autumn Leaves by Coldcut
Velveteen (the song, not the whole album) by Transvision Vamp - so underrated and an absolute epic
Te Amo - Sultana
The Orange Theme - Cygnus X
The Impossible Dream - Carter USM
Winter - Tori Amos
Never be Mine - Kate Bush (might be late 80s actually)

Ah man I was a smidge younger than you so the whole genre had practically disappeared by the time I was old enough to get in. The venue burned down when I was at school. But yeah the top hat was legendary. This music is in our blood in the north east.
