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.

yes to kiss the rain 😂😂😂 reminds me of being on holiday parted from my 13 year old boyfriend
“keep in mind, we’re under the same sky! And the nights as empty as me as for youuuuu!”
FFS 😂

Stiltskin Inside is one of my faves. I ask Alexa to play it at least once a day.

Surely almost all of these are still massively well known and relatively mainstream songs.

Exceot maybe gorkys to be fair.

pretty suicide by NY loose anyone?

I adore this one 💓

I don't have Spotify but I'm willing to join it just for this haha!

This thread is making me wish I was back in my teenage bedroom with my yellow wallpaper and my beautiful silver hifi system with huge speakers 😁 I listened to music so much back then, bloody awesome decade for music, how lucky were we??

I loved that song so much

🎶 not to put too fine a point on it. Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet....🎶

Best thread ever!!!

I give you Baby Bird & You're Gorgeous.

Also weren't Menswear much hyped then just disappeared?!?

@BriceNobeslovesMurielHeslop love your user name! Agree with your post 100%. Damn, I wish your lover was another great tune.

@Tigresswoods
I also remember as a 9 year old being baffled why Bad Boys Inc and Worlds Apart were featured CONSTANTLY in smash hits etc despite nobody knowing a single song of theirs

Very different vibe to my other suggestions but happy hardcore rave was big where I grew up and this one always makes me smile....Bits n Pieces - Artemesia...

I miss you Lisa loeb

Another vote for "Kiss the Rain" - so good!! 🤌🏼

Get the Google app. You can hum a song into it for it to recognise. It's been successful for me with very obscure ear worms!

the song I remember is called “Alane” by Wes. Think it was a one hit wonder. Instantly takes me back to the time when me and my work colleague were applying for Camp America ( applied 1997 went 1998 ) and we were 19 (him) and 20 (me) and I had THE biggest crush on him and everyone knew. We used to put this on in his car and talk about going to America and it was crazy in a country so big we ended up at camps 10 minutes apart in New York State.

a few months after getting home we ended up getting together and I was mad about him, this song just brings me back to that time. He ended up going to uni down south and met a girl and is now married to her, we lost touch about 15 years ago but he’s my one that got away.

sorry for essay!

Oh i could o on forever with that stuff. Toytown!

Dub be good to me Beats international

Does anyone remember Bad Boys Inc? I swear they were more popular than Take That for a while… Why do I feel like walking on air?!

Birdhouse in your soul is one of my favourites. Also love Yes by Mcalmont and Butler. Another one is 7 Seconds by Neneh Cherry and Youssou N'Dour.

Electronic Get The Message

Walkaway by Cast.

Everyone is naming songs that are extremely well known. Almost like they can't be arsed to read the post properly

Anyway OP, I'll offer up Alice by SOM. Which of course lots will know but perhaps not as many who know 'you're the voice'

Trouble by Shampoo!

Lullaby is wonderful. "Hung out with folks like Bob Seger and Sony and Cher"

4 the cause, love the version they do (the young girl from that was molested by R.Kelly)

LFO and Point Break, both yes.

Random ones that have popped into my head:

Ooh La La - The Wiseguys
Pretty Fly (For a White Guy) - The Offspring
Chasing Rainbows - Shed Seven
Temptation Waits - Garbage (because it was on the Buffy Official Soundtrack!)

I love this and listen to it a lot!
