This entire song was a bunch of cartoon characters having an existential crisis. Still a good song though.

We can truthfully and safely say this era is forever gone now. What a strange little tune to remember it by.

The 1990's people, you know this shit got to bring back memories as a child. This is history right here.

I remember seeing this in December 1998, mid-day on a Saturday on Cartoon Network. Was totally mesmerized by it. Lyrics of the song hit way harder as an adult.

I never realized how good the music was in these shorts lol

I sat in a random pizza shop today and heard this playing and was so shocked to hear this song playing OUTSIDE of this old Cartoon Network clip. I didn't know anyone else on this planet even knew this song.

This makes me so nostalgic for 6th grade staying up watching adult swim

If it meant going back to this era....just for a little while....I don't mind going in circles...

RIP boomerang 2000-2015

I love how every song from CN Groovies feel so "indie", like, for example the guitars are usually not perfectly tuned and gives the feeling of being a garage band, they're just fantastic 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Why, hello Childhood. Didn't expect to see you here!

I remember this little "music moment" coming on at like 2 am. Back in 2000 It would come on during or after the Toonami Midnight Run. Before adultswim was created, this was part of cartoon networks strategy to keep the interest of their aging audience

I kept saying "walk around in circles" for the longest time when I was like 6 years old. I only found this again like a year ago, and when I did it's like my entire 6 year old life just rushed back into memory. It's amazing how small things are capable of doing that.

This song reminds me of waking up at 3 am, 10 years old, my Mother was still alive, my Father was sober and a good man. Life was good, and I had a plethora of Nintendo 64 games

My dog just passed away yesterday.. I remember seeing this on TV with him sitting next to me on the sofa when I was little.. Those were the best days of my life.

Brings a tear to my eye of my childhood long gone. I still collect and watch the shows I used to watch growing up. Alot of them really hold up well. The writing seemed so simple, but the underlying jokes were spot on. I really miss it. I hope in some alternate universe, the 90's never ended. The last great decade.

It's been about 18 years since I last heard this and I finally remembered where I had heard it from. Ohhhh the lovely feeling of nostalgia.

Wow, it's crazy that when I young I only understood the hook, but I finally get it. It was a awesome era for cartoons for me and others. I don't think CN could bring back that history even if they try. There was something about being a kid at that time that just made everything great. I know all of people are saying that the kids of the recent era are missing out but really maybe they've got something already to cherish that we won't understand just like our parents didn't get too. Remember the good times guys just because is not on the airwaves doesn't me we haven't forgotten it

One of the best things about early CN is they didn't have any real commercial breaks. Instead they had lots of stuff like this. If I remember right, breaks in the show were short and few, and longer stuff like this ran between shows. I definitely remember LOTS of fade-outs meant for ad breaks going right to the fade-in instead.

When you are stuck in a time loop, this is the song that should be playing in the background until you figure out how to break the loop.

In tears... Man I miss those good times with CN...

jesus this is way too ahead of its time

My first introduction to indie music and the (semi) non-linear music video.

I love how a lot of the "throwback" Groovies had this kind of self-contemplative air about them. Sometimes it was more esoteric, like here where the whole thing is basically commentary on H-B's epidemic reuse of animation and walk cycles to bulk out runtime, and sometimes it was more direct. "Jabberjaw" being a direct commentary on the "Let's Try To Re-Release Scooby-Doo Seventeen Times" phenomenon, or "Meet The Flintstones" being basically a bunch of Flintstones trivia set over a remix.

I dont envy the kids and teens of today...if you were a 90's kid you were blessed with great cartoons!!

This song is actually pretty accurate to represent these 60s cartoons. Because I don't know if any of you noticed a lot of times the characters in these shows looked like they were walking around circles because they would repeatedly pass the same items and setting.

The nostalgia is so great it almost brings tears. Never forget the greatness of Hanna Barbera.

If you grew up hearing this as a child you had a great childhood 🔥

It's kind of clever when you think about it

Ah man, I used to laugh hysterically at looping backgrounds in those scenes. I love how they managed to poke fun of them in this!

my god.. i just got a chill down my spine and the nostalgia came rushing back

I love the way Rosie the Robot struts her stuff.

Something about this music/song, just brings a splash childhood memories. Tears flow down my face as I remember all the awesome times I had being a kid. Hanging out playing Smash Bros. 64 and watching cartoons. :'(

From a time when Cartoon Network was producing some really great stuff. I miss those times. It and the anime seen on Adult Swim and Toonami made for a great day.

I remember waking up to this song back in the day, what a vibe

I've seen Soul Coughing live I've got autographs from Mike Dodi and I knew what the song is about but seeing my favorite childhood characters live it speaks volumes man old school Cartoon Network was something else

Wow I was 7 when this song came out. Brought a tear to my eyes just hearing this again❤

I had forgotten all about this song until today it came on the radio and nostalgia kicked in hard, this was it this was the best Era.

Man, whatever art director in the old Cartoon Network/Boomerang was a genius for all these music videos

I remember watching this at 4am on the day my favourite aunt passed. It's become a core memory

I didn't realize they were referring to the old animation style of recycling the background.

I wouldn't be surprised if this song made a come back in the mainstream one day

This brings back memories of my younger years as a pre-teen. I saw this music video multiple times on CN.

It didn't hit me until the chorus, it all came back to me. What a wave of nostalgia.

I can't believe its been over 10 years.

Lol! This entire song broke the fourth wall!

I remember in 2000 or 2001 my friend told me about this video, but we didn't have KZfaq or anything back then, so I just hoped I would see it. He made it seem really good. It was years later that I remembered it and saw it here. Here's to you, Cody. This reminds me of you.

Wow 17 years ago this tune still rings in my head every now and then

[Verse 1] When you were languishing in rooms I built to file you in And when the wind set down in funnel form and pulled you in [Refrain] I don't need to walk around in circles Walk around in circles, walk around in circles Walk around in Don't need to walk around in circles Walk around in circles, walk around in circles Walk around in [Verse 2] And when the ghostly dust of violence traces everything And when the gas runs out just wreck it, you insured the thing [Refrain] I don't need to walk around in circles Walk around in circles, walk around in circles Walk around in Don't need to walk around in circles Walk around in circles, walk around in circles Walk around in [Hook] X 4 Doom da doom da doom Well I'm going, I'm going

Boomerang had the best breaks in between shows ppl born in the 90s and 2000s know it

Mike Doughty from soul coughing is a lyrical genius! 🔥❤️ Thanks for writing this amazing song

I keep finding myself coming back to this music video. Goodness, I loved the good times of being young and carefree.

Escuché esta canción y Rolling siendo muy niño, como de 5 a 8 años mas o menos, ahora tengo 23 y esta banda debe ser una de mis favoritas de toda la vida, que buena música hacían la ptm

Soul coughing is a good band. CN introduced me to them back in the late 90s or early 00s when this video aired.

CN Groovies pop up in my head at random times 😁

So much nostalgia I’m crying 😭

Thanks for reminding of this gem, Nostalgia Critic. I forgot all about this one, and how much I enjoyed it.

Nostalgia!! A hell of a drug! Our childhoods were unmatched

This was my favorite song from Cartoon Network Grooves. Plus it made aware of the repeating background in cartoons. I still love this.

2024 🎉🎉 and still an OG Cartoon Network fan when this channel was just a amazing 🎉🎉🎉 what an era I’m so thankful for and grateful I was apart of 😢❤😂😂

This song unironically slaps better than almost anything from the past 4 years

Brings back good ol times

Yo this song has been stuck in my head since I was young/whenever this aired. But this is one of the only songs I heard one time and never forgot the lyrics. Love this

Such nostalgia, i remember watching this as a kid in my room and swaying to this lol , Good times .

For those who don't understand completely: Back then shows in the 90s use to have to cut corners when it came to animation, so they used what I term "looped animation", where if a character would move rapidly in a scene instead of going from frame to frame they'd simply move the background. Think like a treadmill. Though you're running the floor below you is what is moving. It wasn't until the 2000s and onward where cartoons started to take off and the animation budget grew. The only time they were allowed to go past the usual budget in cartoons is in movies; it's why in a lot of 90s movies the coloring, animation, and sound are always a tad better. Thankfully nowadays animation is booming, so the average movie of the late 90s is now the average worst movie of the 2010s.

2:05 that gasp for air

I've watched so many of these cartoons that I can hear the dialogue in their voices when I read it.

My childhood just hit me in the face, kids today don't know what the real Cartoon Network is, R.I.P Cartoon Network 1998 - 2011 😢😢😢😢😭

One of my favorite things about music is how through time it stays with you

"Walk around in Circles" can never get bits of this darn song out of head ever since i first heard it many years ago, and Im 31...that's a good thing tho!😊❤

Cartoon Network really used to go hard on their bumpers back in the day. I miss them to no end.

This video and "Rolling" on the old cartoon network is what turned me on to Soul Coughing. Those were fun times, staying up all night watching CN and getting messed up!

I’ve had this song stuck in my head for the past 18 years.

THIS UPLOAD IS A GODSEND! I remember seeing this on Boomerang back in late 2007 (I can't remember which reruns it was sandwiched under) but I had not seen it since. I am so happy to have stumbled upon it here so many years later at the age of 26.

This tears me up. I remember watching this, I had to be like in middle or High school, I use catch this on the weekends. I miss classic Cartoon Network.

Ah, good ol' 2000 Cartoon Network. Good times.

I'm so glad other people came back to see this gem. Nostalgia is a powerful thing

ahh back when Cartoon Network could always get awesome bands to play their awesome songs, good times! =D Old CN ftmfw! This song is so chill, just makes me wanta lie down and watch old CN bumpers all day...

This song brought back so many memories for me as a kid watching Cartoon Network it was the best ❤

Thank you nostalgia critic for the bumper video so I could listen to this

ahhhh..... such nostalgia.

Ah...childhood memories how I missed you so. Nostalgia is every persons friend that grew up in late 90's/ early 00's.

loved this video when I was a kid during Toonheads, and now I'm about to turn 32 next week. I cant believe how much time has passed.

I cry everytime I hear these now just because it gives me such an amazing glimpse into my past I can literally go back to the first time I saw this in my head and remember every little detail glad I locked away so many amazing memories!

Aw man, this was one of my favorites of the Groovies!

Back then I didn't understand the meaning of this bumper but years later I found out that the cartoonists uses the same frame to make it look like the characters were moving. Pretty cool.

This was one of my favorite commercials back in da day😢❤💯

I remember this on the CN website, this and one other video they had. The nostalgia I'm feeling seeing this video is super intense.

I am so glad this is not a piece of lost media that only exist in our mind.

I’ve been trying to find this song for years thank you 💕

This is why I miss growing up during this era this came on & I still remember it walking around circles

I thought this was some fever dream for the longest time strictly because I could only remember the chorus. I'm glad its real

Toonami Aftermath :D oh how you make the memories come rushing back.

The wave of nostalgia and sadness I feel right now I just want to cry. I miss this time so much

"A Song 🎵 In Geometric Philosophy" This song 🎵 was not only a classic for "Cartoon Network" at the time... But it was also good enough to have been a Classic on "School House 🏫 Rock 🎸 in the 1970's and 80's... Or even a standalone Classic of The Early 1970's. Wow!! What An Awesome Childhood, We Had.

I still listen to soul coughing album. Soo good and still holds up.

it sure is fun when you haven't heard a song in years and when you hear it again you remember the words and tune I swear I haven't even thought about this song in like 10 years until I just heard it!

This was my favorite Cartoon Network groovy song back when I was 5 years old in 2000 I miss these days so badly 🥹🥹

I remember watching Cartoon Network with my son and this came on during a break, and I was hooked.

I will never forget this. It exposed me to souls coughing. There were others as well. Signal in the sky was used for the powerpuff girls.
