...What the Hell? "Video not available in your country"?! C'mon! First Cartoon network, then BBC, and now YouTube?! I thought the point of the damn Internet was to connect the world!


...Sorry, didn't mean to drift the topic.. ...Well, having grown up in the 90s, there's a ton of such songs, many of which are hip hop and techno. I'm rather partial to Salt N' Peppa's "Let's Talk about Sex" though.

I don't know if all of these are necessarily terrible (or at least wiggity-wiggity-wiggity wack), but they are kinds kitschy or mediocre or plain bad. And yet I can't stop listening to these songs since they were things I listened to when I was in middle school/high school:

"Sex and Candy" by Marcy playground (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKl_7zK3fbI)

"Three Little Pigs" by Green Jelly (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fm9W4Ts-tw0)

"Jump" by Kriss Kross (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J5titd0Kbw)

"Whoomp There It Is" by Tag Team (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnrLloO7nFQ)

"Informer" by Snow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtILxBszyf8)

"Too Legit to Quit" by MC Hammer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cdk1gwWH-Cg)

"Clumsy" by Our Lady Peace (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXoWT5V8qtE)

"Shimmer" by Fuel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0QMfK9hzgA)

"The Freshmen" by The Verve Pipe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVNAp1C8LIw)

"Cumbersome" by Seven Mary Three (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN2gt1KQsi8)

"Plowed" by Sponge (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHjdmNLs0go)

White Canadian reggae singer going "a licky boom boom down" = genius

As for me...

Extreme - Get The Funk Out (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILwYfJ8hulI)

Suicidal Tendencies - Send Me Your Money (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVwto8Xk2o4)

Nothing like early 90s hair metal ... or early 90s anti-hair metal, for that matter

Who wants to c'mon and ride it (the train) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9vZ_akgmXU)?

I'm not so convinced that's a terrible song, though.

So here's Eiffel 65's Blue (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL2UsAbI1hg).

And Aqua's Barbie Girl (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEzh10_xoqw).

You do not want to now where i was when this song was popular. suffice to say the "in your head" Lyric was accurate.

None of these songs are bad.

I reject the entire premise of this thread! The 90s were awesome!

There is no shame in loving a Swedish band, granted there no ABBA, but they things they can do just using the same base track over and over! :biggrin:

Hokey but they groove:

"I Got a Man" by Positive K (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UorXVqVVURM)

"I Wish" by Skee-Lo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icr0eW1fRSs)

"If I Only Had A Brain" by MC 900 Ft. Jesus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixl6H9C5lt0)

"Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand" by Primitive Radio Gods (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXPdbgBuxAU)


Okay, this last one isn't horrible, but I'm wondering why the heck this song isn't all over the damn place:

"Hip Hop Hooray" by Naughty by Nature (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No7jdP2A0N0)


EDIT:
Actually... that Primitive Radio Gods song isn't so terrible. Listening to it again, it's actually kinda soothing.

Yeah but its an awful title for a song, song/movie/episode titles should never be that long. It probably why this song isn't all over the place, cause no one can remember the title.
