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?

Third best pop song EVER!!!

Aah the 80s... I actually somewhat pity teens today with their overly choreographed and styled to within an inch of their lives pop stars... managed by Simon Cowell and co.

SeaWitchly

There was no SyCo back then, it was Stock, Aitkin and Waterman.

Ah yes Ginger, the heady days naff fashion and dance moves of Stock, Aitken and Waterman

Wasn't SyCo a tea boy then? 😜

These have to be included.

I loved B*witched, blame it on the weatherman etc..
total gorgonzola.
As for the featured song, they always said it was 'secretly' rude.

the one that goes 'she's homeless yes she's homeless la dah dee la dah da' always annoyed me (not B*witched)

I hated most of the pop crap in the 90's but I did really like Blink 182, Meatloaf and the Manic street Preachers. Oh and Britpop.

But here's a selection of 90s songs that will forever be burned in my brain - I do like the Blink song though

I give you my all-time faves...

The 90s was completely 'my' time, I left my teens then and my 20s were (mainly) a blast...
so many songs ingrained that take me right back to exact times and memories..
of the top of my head..
Scatman (so annoying! but you'll never forget it!) - drunk brits in Crete
Return to Innocence (Enigma) def my group of friends songs, doing the 'way eh yeh eh' bit as a joint or two was passed round...
Shine.. (Aswad) 'theme' of many a party
Say You'll Be There (Spice Girls) - forever known as the Damn Spiccy Girls.. there was a particularly angry Sikh man on the news I think it was, he had something against them, all I remember is him calling them those Damn Spiccy Girls.. (something about them wearing revealing clothes I think)
Paul Weller's Wild Wood (though this is bitter sweet for me)
SpinDoctors.. can't even remember the title ('if you want to buy me flowers' lyric)

ah.. of course.. just googled.. Two Princes
Also Jennifer Paige's Crush

anything by Deep Forest
and Mori Kante's Yeke Yeke

No Scrubs - TLC.. absolute classic, reminds me of being in Manhattan, it was on MTV loads as was Madonna's song from Austin Powers (Beautiful Stranger)

OMG was flicking on the tv and this song was on

It was number 1 in 92, I remember it so well now! but had totally forgotten about.

Double you, Please don't go

Ahhrrrr now I'm confused, as found this one which rings more bells, and was apparently number 1 in 92 as well

KWS please don't go

Ok the tv was wrong. Double you, only got to 41 in the uk, but did get to 1 in other countries.

KWS is the one I remember.

How could I forget Craig David? Loved him.

Please Don't Go!
Argh!! my then teenaged brother bought this for his then girlfriend (his first) when she was moving to France. He was heartbroken. she still went
