From Grunge to Gangsta Rap and everything in between! Post a song and let's talk about it!

Rules

  1. All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
  2. Be constructive and don't gatekeep. Music is highly subjective, and people have different tastes.
  3. If the source is YouTube, use the actual YouTube URL rather than a specific Invidious/Piped link. This prevents dead links as those go on/offline or break due to Google changes while also letting people's browser plugins, Lemmy clients, etc automatically re-write YT links to their preferred instances. Feel free to put alternate links in the post body, though.
  4. Submissions must be from the 90s (1990 - 1999) based on either recorded or release date. e.g. if it was recorded in 1999 but released in 2000, we're not going to split hairs over that; post away. Covers made in the 90s of older music is absolutely allowed and encouraged.

Posting Guidelines / Suggestions

  1. The preferred title format is Artist - Song Name [YEAR]
  2. If a song has a particular meaning or evokes a pleasant memory for you, feel free to share your story with it.

If you have other suggestions that would help grow the community and/or foster discussion, please feel free to share.

Fun facts I just learned: Tress MacNeille (the voice of your childhood, college years, and adult life if you're a 90s kid) performs the line "How ya doin' Bernie?", and appears in the music video (which I cannot seem to find). Voice actress Mary Kay Bergman also contributes with the "For a rabbi!" line near the middle of the song. Bergman (RIP) was the original Dr. Blight on Captain Planet and voiced many of the women characters in the early seasons of South Park.

That’s great, I didn’t realize that was Tress MacNeille. She also appears in Ricky

I never realized it was her, either, until I read it while looking for the release year on Wikipedia. Now that I know it's her, I can't un-hear it, and it's clearly her.

She also appears in Ricky

Didn't know that, either. Man, I really hope MacNeille and Yankvoic are friends IRL because that would be cool.
