Love this song! The discovery channel part didn't age well though.

Let's do it like they do on the discovery channel

Fishing crabs in Alaska or digging for gold?

Back in the late 20th century, Discovery Channel actually had documentaries on them, many of them nature documentaries

At my year 7 (age 11-12) christmas disco back in '98 some year 11s (age 15-16) were DJing.

Our head teacher was sat behind them to make sure they didn't play anything inappropriate.

The only song she stopped was this after the discovery channel line.

I unironically love this song, it's still on my car jams playlist

[–] tissek@sopuli.xyz 19 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I love that you love this song. Taste is something you should never have to feel ashamed for.

Yet 90's/early 2000's stuff I feel so cringe about. how could I ever enjoy that

I accept my cringey love of Sugar Ray and other 90s/early 2000s alt rock.

Fly rules.

Cause you're my butterfly, sugar, baby.

I was disillusioned when I found out the beat is basically a loop from an instrumental red hot chili peppers album track.

[–] resketreke@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Then don't research how they are doing nowadays.

I don't care about the band really, I just loved the riff and hadn't encountered sampling.

From the wiki...

On November 3, 2019, Crazy Town's van crashed into a moose during a tour stop in Ontario, Canada. Seth Binzer, Elias Tannous and Roland Banks were treated for bruises and cuts at the hospital.

Pretty Little Ditty is a gem tho. Peppers jam.

I have a modern version of it - bit more bass and edm vibe. Great gym song

This song was a phenomena back when it came out. I was in highschool, saw it on Mtv one night. Told a few friends about the next day, but no one had heard of yet. About a week later, it was everywhere. Heard it played or referenced repeatedly for a while. Then one day it just faded away...

They also had that song "You're Pretty When I'm Drunk" but that's all I remember about the band.

Edit: I just remembered the Ballad of Chasey Lain.

Fire Water Burn (the roof is on fire) was the first one I remember hearing a bunch

[–] azron@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago

The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 months ago

Yeah that's the only one I knew of them for a long time.

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 11 points 8 months ago

How about Three Point One Four?

And how many girls do you know that can play the harmonica with their pussies?

[–] SketchySeaBeast@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

Holy crap are you giving me flashbacks to my college days.

[–] MrGerrit@feddit.nl 14 points 8 months ago

We do it Doggystyle so we both can watch x-files.

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I want to say this cd was designed to look like a naked breast if one put their tongue through the spindle hole. Maybe I'm misremembering though. I do remember buying it on a field trip where we got to go to a city with a big mall

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

if one put their tongue through the spindle hole.

Or, ya know, a fingertip, like you're not a weirdo.

[–] shrimpazoid@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

There are pretty straightforward instructions written on the disc: Insert tongue in circular opening to simulate nipple.

[–] th3dogcow@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

It did. The album title was “Hooray for Boobies”

[–] nul9o9@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Absolute classic lol

Flash backs to TF2 days when someone would blare this over their mic

[–] FridgeReborn@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

If you enjoy their lyrics, you may enjoy playing along with this game

[–] theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I remember telling a girl when I was in 5th grade to "Please turn me on, I'm Mr. Coffee with an automatic drip", having no idea what it meant.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 1 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I still don’t know what that means.

[–] enitoni@beehaw.org 1 points 8 months ago

I think it's referring to precum.

[–] get_off_the_phone@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The wiki page for them is written so poorly that it is hilariously fitting of them.
