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?

Last one before I go to bed like a responsible adult.

Love, love, love this thread!

It's raining it's raining, tears from eyes,

Oh haven't heard paranoid in ages!

Hudson, the comments under that video on YT indicate it's not just about filth but BUM FILTH

I know!!!

Suppose if you listen to the lyrics I can see it

Love 4 Non Blondes What's Up paddypants - play it most days for a sing along!
It's one of those you can belt out all the words.
Alanis Morrisette and Meredith Brooks are also great for shouty singalong lyric sessions too

I'm feeling really old now! I was about 17 when this was released!

Well that's the wedding reception playlist sorted. Thank you Mumsnet!

Color Me Badd - I Wanna Sex You Up

Oh my God, that 4 Non Blondes song has to be one if the worst songs of all time. Had forgotten quite how bad.

Just followed your link - THANK YOU! Memories! A grand catchy tune and a classic! :-) x

Which one? The OP? Keep going through the thread if so, there's some epic choons

Think that 4NonBlondes song was used in the Netflix series Sense8 - all the connected characters were singing it. Worked quite well I thought.

Inspired by this tread, I thought I have a look at what the most downloaded tracks on Spotify are. What a load of insipid shite. I keep trying to listen to Calvin Harris to finally get what all the fuss is about but every time I'm blown away purely by how spectacularly dull it is.

Not sure why Kavana was posted as an example of cheese, 'I can make you feel good' is still an absolute classic. You just need to shut your eyes to block out the terrible hair, dancing and dungarees!!

Well, if you want your eyes opened, you can go watch them live later this year ;) www.bigweekends.com/the-weekends/back-to-the-2000s.aspx

This angst-ridden belter came out when I was seventeen. Years later I was in a greasy spoon in Hendon which was covered in autographed pictures of Billie herself, who was allegedly partial to the egg and chips in said eatery...

@TicketyBoo83 rofl, now I can't unhear "trampolines" damn you :D

Anyway, I'd better contribute. Let's bring it back to '98.

Desertrat, that video is an excellent reminder of how fashions in tasteful interior design have changed. That flat is still lovely, but looks slightly wrong.

@squoosh What's going on a terrible song???? How can such blasphemy leave your mouth?

Hudson - here's the Angry Anderson song combined with the wedding!

For all those who are too young to know what we are talking about, 1989 was all about Aussie soap 'Neighbours' with the pinnacle being the wedding of central characters Scott and Charlene [Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue]

1985 - Best Pop Song Ever!!!

So glad I have Apple Music.
Kids are going to love this on the school run 😂

Trapped in the Closet... "He looks at the closet, I pull out my Beretta."

Jheez. Overreaction of the century.

Love this one...

Jheez. Overreaction of the century.

"He walks up to the closet He goes up to the closet Now he's at the closet now he's opening the closet"
I wonder where the guy was going to

Haven't listened to all of the songs yet, but has anyone mentioned the cranberries? Zombie in particular. I loved sway? I think the song was called though I can't remember who it was by, and also kiss me by sixpence none the richer 💟
