If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'ld been married long time ago
Where did you come from where did you go
Where did you come from Cotton-Eye Joe
If it hadn't been...
If it hadn't been...
If it hadn't been...
He came to town like a midwinter storm
He rode through the fields so hansome and strong
His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun
But all he had come for was having some fun
If it hadn't been...
If it hadn't been...
He brought disaster wherever he went
The hearts of the girls was to hell broken sent
They all ran away so nobody would know
and left only men cause of Cotton-Eye Joe
If it hadn't been...
If it had't been...
If it hadn't been...
If it hadn't been...
If it hadn't been...
:D:D:D:D:D
Until I just searched the lyrics I always thought he was just going "bidday da be da Cotton Eyed Joe...":eek::):D
Theres no way the first words of that song are 'If it hadn't been'!!.... Whenever that song gnaws away at my brain i hear a G at the begining, lol.
Apart from the obvious PJ songs...
Rage - Bombtrack
RHCP - Power of Equality
Incubus - Privilege
Oasis - Wonderwall
Bush - Machinehead
Nirvana - Breed
Our Lady Peace - Starseed
Placebo - Teenage Angst
Foo Fighters - Hey Johnny Park
Metallica - Enter Sandman
No matter how overplayed some of these songs are, they're still mostly ones that made me sit up an appreciate music as i was growing up.
There's more, but i cant be bothered writing them all.
"Stunned by my own reflection, It's looking back, sees me too clearly and I swore I'd never go there again, Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down,down,down"
When you see me on the street, yell out "FAVO!!!"
I've been to alot of Pearl Jam shows;So fucking what.
I LOVE THIS THREAD!!! I was born way too late...I wish I was my age now (22) in the early-mid 90s. This stuff is most of what I listen to and barely anyone my age ever knows what I am talking about. Too bad I was playing with Barbies and Trolls when a lot of this stuff was huge instead of SUBSCRIBING TO THE TEN CLUB MEMBERSHIP!!..one day that really high number will be sweeter, right??

Oh man - here's one that I forgot. Not sure if I even like it or not, but it would be a huge 90's flashback
That "Mmmmmm" song by Crash Test Dummies.
Or what about that "Standing outside a broken phone booth with a quarter in my hand" (not sure if that's the exact title of the song) by Primative Radio Gods?
"I've been down-hearted baby...I've been down-hearted baby...ever since the day we met...ever since the say we met"
I used to LOVE that song. Worst album ever created, though. The purest definition of a one hit wonder.
