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?

you think that's sexual? You haven't met Gina G

BEFORE YOUR TIME?!

Well now I feel fucking old

C'est la vie

What about
"What's she gonna look like with a chimney on her"
and
"Sweet like chocolate boy"

Oh actually - I've just remembered The Thong Song, plenty of twerking in that but I didn't know that it was twerking then.

Not a 90s choon but this recent John Travolta and Olivia Newton John song is the most distressing video I've ever seen

Oh God - trousers with skirts sewn over the top. I'm already overly invested in this thread

I remember I had a black pair which I wore with a (scratchy) shiny metallic silver spaghetti strap top (matching eyeshadow match) and had my hair in tiny little buns with those twisty fake diamanté hair things. Used to sit on the wall outside the chippy reading Just 17 and flirting with boys called Darren and Gavin...

This was all before I discovered Britpop, black eyeliner and listened to Suede...

I'll get my oversized parka coat...

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Adam Rickett.

I saw him live in my hometown and if I remember rightly he was my first ever live gig and crush

The dancing on the street to the Vengaboys reminds me of Saturday/Sunday mornings in Mass car park only with better music. Even though The Vengaboys are my dirty little secret

WHATS SHE GONNA LOOK LIKE WITH A CHIM-NEE ON HER?

I think the Honeyz song mentioned up thread was called Finally Found, wasn't it?

What's she gonna look like with a chimney on her?

My friends and I bought Now 43 (1999) together and I ripped it onto new CDs for the others, kept the original. Absolutely fucking awful and could easily be the soundtrack of this thread.

I passed my driving test in 98 and had a 20 mile drive to work. I used to create mix tapes (which became mix cds) and sing my heart out in my G reg burgundy Ford escort.

Mary J Blige
Brown Stone
Lauryn Hill

To name but a few.

Also, you were not worth knowing unless you listened religiously to Mark and Lard on the Radio One Breakfast Show.

I knew EVERY Shire Horse song, had the tape and would randomly quote lines at flow geeky colleagues from the morning's show.

see also : The Fast Show "Cheesy Peas" Working in a very serious open plan office, of the 50 ish colleagues there were about 10 of us under the age of 30 and just me in her teens. A cheeky trip to the loo and a barely audible "they're cheesy..." would ignite a Mexican wave-esque rendition throughout the office of "they're peasy, they're cheesy peas!"

Suppose you had to be there.....

Honest, it was the cat's whiskers.

How old were you op when this came out? They were an amazing band!!!

hahahaha I've just realised poor op is either looking at this thread wondering what the fuck we are all talking about or is now lost in a never ending tour of youtube and the cheesy horror music it produced, which will now be at the back of their mind for all eternity, because it is a bit like herpes.

TOPLOADER!

I used to have metallic blue liquid eyeshadow that I used to wear with a thick line of silver eyeliner and those sequin thingys that you used to stick on your face, just under the outer corner of your eye.

And body glitter - feck me glitter everywhere. You left a trail of glitter everywhere you went!

Loved toploader Coffee- fab name btw!

I remember going out once. Spice/space buns, blue eyeshadow, blue lipstick, shitty wee choker, pink (??) vest top with a diamante dragon (no bra) and a pair of purple trousers with a skirt over the top, but made from that fabric that looked a different colour - blue - when the light hit it.
Why am I nostalgic for this outfit when it sounds vomitous?

Lads I feel like this is a safe space to say this: I'm 31 and I'm going to see Steps and the Vengaboys later this year and I am very very excited about it

Boom boom boom boom
I want you on my room...

Ok I need to go to bed...

Most of these songs mentioned are total classics . I have the Songpop 2 app on my phone and I totally smash the 90s categories.

Sweet Like Chocolate? (I can't remember who sang that). It was Shanks and Bigfoot. Loved that song.

Hair mascara, anyone remember that?

I just youtubed cest la vie and the first comment is "this video had everything. Verbal abuse, bondage and out of nowhere, river dance " brilliant
