To think this song can't be serious. Please tell me it was created as a joke?

[whattheactual1]

Just came across this song and video on my youtube. Apparently it reached number 1!

I'm traumatised from just watching it!

It was meant as a joke surely?

Ah, this is about as late as it got for me - before I got into 'proper' music (well, Space, Catatonia and other late Brit-pop )

I think it's a bit weird that the Spice Girls never seem to be played nowadays. Not even at weddings. All Saints still sound great though,

OP - in case you are running away screaming, this is how to scream 90s style:

It's oh so quiet

SYSTEM UP WITH THE TOP DOWN
GOT THE CITY ON LOCKDOWN

...anyone?

Youtube suggested this, Fred and his sexy shirt

Rude? The Divinyls.

YouTube obviously knows how old I am, every one of these links has 'eliminate eye bags in two minutes' as the next suggested video

Has no one mentioned The Coors yet? Breathless anyone?

Or alanis morissette and Ironic?

Perfect pop song

Coffee Brilliant!

How about this -

Loved this too:

Glitter, colourful makeup, camoflage print, and massive wedge trainers...
Arghhh massive nostalgia!

This one was horrible when it came out. On a day trip with my 3 children and it popped up on a play list. My two year old looked horrified and glared at us until it was over. I thought I was going to laugh forever!

Also no one has mentioned chumbawumba

Or chesney hawkes

This thread is amazing another specimen from 1981 here!!

Currently rocking out to this:

The Shirehorses played our Freshers Ball at uni.

Rox-ette!

Chesney Hawkes - DH was on a stag night at Butlins in Bognor where he was the evening entertainment. "The one & only" it wasn't because he played it twice.

I'm only on page three but has anyone mentioned daphne and Celeste ooh stick you your mumma too and yo daddy

The Kerrang channel in the late 90s anyone?

Fun fact: the singer of Powerman 5000 is Rob Zombie's little brother.

God Alisha's Attic! They were amazing. I still listen to them on a regular basis.

@Largebucket you didn't imagine that kylie video , 7 year old me had taped it off the telly

I loved Alisha's Attic! I think they still stand up now right?

I had also totally forgotten about the weird kid 90's Indian craze. What was with all these white boys prancing around to Sitars and pretending to find themselves?

The good guys dress in black
