Remember the Bloodhound Gang?


I was just thinking about the late 90's and this song popped into my mind.

I don’t know them from their music, only from this:

Were you around in the 90's?
It was wild times.

reply

I was born in 65.

So you would have been in your mid 30's when that song came out. I can see how you would have missed it. It was popular among young people. Late teens/early 20's.
I'm in my early 40's right now and I have no idea what the kids are listening to. But then again, it's a different time. Back in the 90's most people would be exposed to the same music because we all listened to the radio and watched MTV. We weren't so fractured as we are today. Today we all not only listen to completely different music than each other, we live in completely separate bubbles, separate universes with alternate facts and alternate cultures.

I bought "One Fierce Beer Coaster" for one song only-

Haven't listened to it in years though, and lost total interest in them as a band.

reply

I loved that song. I remember listening to it when I was a senior in high school '97/'98.

I NEVER FORGET THEM...I OWN LIKE SEVEN ALBUMS I THINK.

reply

How did you enjoy the late 90's?

reply

THE LATE 90'S ARE MY PRIMETIME...I STILL HAVEN'T LEFT.

reply

Neither have I.
That is why I act the way I do here sometimes. It's the way people used to act on the internet in the late 90's and early 00's on message boards. A wild amalgam of genuine, thoughtful dialogue, peppered with racial and homophobic slurs, and punctuated by relentless trolling.

reply

I GET IT...I WAS SIMILAR UNTIL THE LAST FEW YEARS...A FEW SPECIAL FRIENDSHIPS HERE HAVE COMPLETELY ALTERED MY WAY OF THINKING.

reply

I had a similar kind of awakening a decade ago. But I've regressed. Returned to my roots.

reply

One night, me and the crew hit the road on a mission..

TO SLURP FREE BREW AND GO FUZZY FLOUNDER FISHING.

LOL at a band naming themselves after a segment of a children's TV show on PBS. It's like naming a band "Mathnet."

reply

I think the idea is that there is humor in the juxtaposition of wholesome children's entertainment with hyper-obscene filth. At least that is my take.

reply

I liked Fire Water Burn much better. Everybody was singing that in school at the time.

reply

Yes, me too. I loved Fire Water Burn when I was in high school.
I was already out of high school when Bad Touch was released, but I remember cruising around with my friends listening to it. Good times.

reply

I've never heard of them but you just reminded me of a favorite band I haven't thought of in years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_qHU_6Ofc0

reply

Were you not around in the late 90's?

reply

Of course I was. I'm still here aren't I? I had more important priorities than what I saw as so-called music at the time, until this musical prodigy really got my attention. https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/jonny-lang-35-years-young/

reply

I should have been more clear. My point was that maybe you were too young to know what was happening in the 90's.
That song was everywhere in the '99/'00. So the only way you would have missed it is if you were either too young or too old to pay attention to what was happening in the culture. It would be like someone not knowing who the Backstreet Boys were or N'Sync. Whether you listened to them or not (I didn't), we all still knew who they were because they were everywhere.

reply

Yes, I was preoccupied with a very demanding, stressful job at the time, and yes, I'm old school rock. I am aware of Backstreet Boys and N'Sync, boy bands popular with teenyboppers, not my cup of tea.

reply

That is the one thing I couldn't stand about the late 90's, the boy bands. Like you, I was old school rock so a lot of the music in the 90's didn't appeal to me at the time. It wasn't until years later that I would appreciate some of it because it would remind me of the fun times I had with my friends.

reply

I get that. I remember how I used to enjoy this band during my teen years. I also remember them as actually having a weekly TV show, with this as the intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrErp4OMwSM

reply

The Monkees are based as fuck.

reply

What does that mean?

reply

It means that the Monkees are awesome/great/cool.

"Based" is what the kids say these days.

reply

Ok. Some slang I've been unaware of. But I am aware of "dope", which is another substitute for "cool". Why does our lexicon have to keep changing like that?

reply

Ooo, you're lagging behind old chap. It's been a while since "dope" was a thing.
Come to think of it, "based" might not even be a thing anymore. I'm going by what the kids were saying in 2016. Time flies too goddamn quick these days.


And yes, I'm afraid that is the nature of lexicons. Like most things around us they constantly change and evolve over time.

reply

ACCORDING TO MY 16 YEAR OLD AND HER FRIENDS...THE NEW WORD IS FIRE.


THE MONKEES ARE FIRE.

reply

"Fire", That's it.
From now on you're going to be the go-to guy. When we older folk need the 411 on the kids, we're going to hit you up, and you're going to get us the intel from Ali, your agent in the field.

reply

I GOT SUPER LUCKY WITH ALI...WE SPEND ALMOST ALL DAY TOGETHER AND TALK LIKE FRIENDS...BECAUSE WE ARE FRIENDS...SHE KEEPS ME IN THE KNOW OF ALL THE NEW SONGS,SLANG,MISC.

reply

That's awesome. Like I told you in the other thread, you are a good dad, so of course you have a good relationship.

reply

So, "cool" eventually transitioned to "fire", completely the opposite. But you could never use that like "chill", that is, "I'm firing out" because it makes absolutely no sense as slang for relaxing. But it's better than "dope", which I saw as completely stupid. And I seem to remember "the shit" as preceding "dope", another really stupid one. "Cool" seems to have a very enduring quality. I'm guessing it goes back to the beatniks of the 50s.

reply

But what became of the notion, "If it's not broke, don't fix it"? What was wrong with "my mistake", that it had to be changed to, "my bad"?

reply

Hey, you're preaching to the choir. I especially don't like it when we change words for politically correct reasons like calling the homeless "unhoused". Or even black people "People of color". Especially since "people of color" literally means the same things as "colored people", which is considered racist. It's why I say "colored" on purpose, it's a way to make fun of this very thing while also taking the piss of out the Wokes.

reply

Great song. Great video. Cute lead singer.

reply

My comment about you in the other thread was unkind and inappropriate. I apologize.

reply

No need to apologize. Like I said, I usually play the villain, and I'm pretty good at it.
But still, thank you for your words. It means a lot and you didn't have to do it.

reply

Whatever it was it was probably warranted given the views exhibited in the politics page.
