It was 100% them "taking the piss"; though I suspect the parody was made as much out of love as anything? Never been much of a fan of the band personally (just didn't like the song when it was all over the radio, nothing against them) but Richard might have been one of the best musical guests that Nevermind the Buzzcocks ever had. Dude could easily have been a comedian. You could tell the producers thought so too. I think his first appearance was basically like an emergency booking in the first season and Mark found him so hilarious that he ended up getting more invites than any other musical guest (afaik).

Although "No Rain" has an upbeat sound to it, I wouldn't call the lyrics upbeat. "And I don't understand why I sleep all day / And I start to complain that there's no rain / And all I can do is read a book to stay awake / And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape" or "You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today" are not very cheery lyrics. I feel like the upbeat tone accentuates the actual sadness of the lyrics. And the bee girl is sad, too. No one wants to watch her do her dance until she comes across Blind Melon in the field. Great song, though. One of my faves.

Music from the 80s and 90s was just a whole different breed. Tons of "one hit wonders", but if you bought their albums they were almost always full of food music that never made it on the radio. That doesn't happen today, if you "buy" an album these days for one song, it's usually that one song amongst a sea of garage. Which many don't even have the full album experience anymore anyway since most people just buy the one song they like.

i'd say songs far weirder are "How Much is the Fish?" by Scooter and pretty much any song by Arrogant Worms, like "Kill the Dog Next Door"

It’s such a lovely feel-good song! Somehow I didn’t discover it till a few years ago and I’m still not tired of it, though sometimes it’ll get too stuck in my head 😂

@sunnyandthechlo 4 ай бұрын

I love it too but the lyrics aren’t optimistic or happy like the video claims. It is about crippling depression that is ruining his life.

Most of these have been in my plauyslists SINCE the 90s (except Bree Sharp - never heard of her and Color Me Badd - was never a fan). the 90s in general were WEIRD, but I guess so was my taste in music.

You should definitely check out Bree Sharp. The Cheap and Evil girl song is great, as well as all the others on the album.

Superman by Crash Test Dummies is one of my favorite songs from that time. I’m too sexy is right up there. It’s just too easy to feel sexy when you’re moving to that song and damn those guys look good!!! But every time I listen to Superman, I get teary.
