the 90's.. again.

There must be something in the air or the water..as no sooner then do NME post a list of their 100 best songs of the 90's , Triple J have a 90's week!!!!
Triple J's request show- 'Good nights' with Linda Marigliano asked people to vote for their favorite 90's tunes.. the top five were:


5. Sir Mix-a-lot - "Baby got back"


4. Garbage - "Push it". I personally prefer their first single'Vow'


3. Regurgitator - Blubber boy (Such a great Aussie band and still making music!! This clip is very cool and I bet they had heaps of fun making it!)




2. Beastie Boys - 'Sabotage"


1. Nirvana - "Come as you are". I posted the Live 'MTV unplugged' version.. just because 'MTV unplugged' was very 90's!





From the  NME list, I thought I'd share a couple of tunes. So many great tunes, but alas, I can't post 100 clips :-(

100. Coolio – “Gangsta’s Paradise”
99. Black Grape – “Reverend Black Grape”
98. Paul Weller – “The Changingman”
97. Snoop Doggy Dogg – “Who Am I? (What’s My Name)”
96. New Radicals – “You Get What You Give”
95. Guns N’ Roses – “November Rain”
94. Leftfield – “Open Up”
93. James – “Laid”
92. Dr. Dre – “Nuthin’ But A ‘G’ Thang”
91. Pulp – “Babies”

 Pulp 'made it' with the Common People LP, but this tune from the earlier 1994 Lp 'His 'n' Hers' is a personal fav.. especially with lines like "Oh I want take you home, I want give you children, you might be my girlfriend, yeah!".. hmm Jarvis, did those lines actually work???!!
Pulp – “Babies”



90. A Tribe Called Quest – “Can I Kick It?”. (Can I kick it? Yes you can!.. umm hang on.. Was Bob the builder 'inspired' by this??).




At 89 in the list is Belle & Sebastian – “The Boy With The Arab Strap”. I love early Belle & Sebastian! “The Boy With The Arab Strap” is from the 1998 LP of the same name. Great lyrics like:
"A central location for you is a must as you stagger about making free with your lewd and lascivious boasts
We know you are soft cause we've all seen you dancing
We know you are hard cause we all saw you drinking from noon
Until noon again
You're the boy with the filthy laugh
You're the boy with the arab strap"

Belle & Sebastian – “The Boy With The Arab Strap”

Forget that cover! From the same Lp (1990's 'Pills n Thrills and Bellyaches'), is this corker of a tune- 'Kinky Afro'. Great Lyrics like:
"Son, I'm 30
I only went with your mother 'cause she's dirty
And I don't have a decent bone in me
What you get is just what you see"

Happy Mondays – 'Kinky Afro'
