I actually own all of Sponge's albums. It's a shame they never got their due in the 90's. They were actually one of the best post-grunge bands out there. I even used this song as theme music when I wrestled.
I spent 27 years trying to find this song. When I was in 8th grade, one of my classmates made a skating video with a bunch of songs of the time in the background, and ive always remembered this hook, but I never knew who it was. I went through, "the goo goo dolls, gin blossoms, candlebox, just to find out TODAY, who it was. The 90's and early 2000's had me so f'd up. Thanks google.
It's also worth remembering the time in which this song came out. The mid 90s saw a considerable boom in the consumption of the SSRI family of anti-depressants, like Prozac or Paxil. Many people suspect that the heavy marketing push behind these drugs was a large part of their new popularity, and they were being prescribed in cases where other forms of treatment would have been more appropriate, but patients wanted Prozac because they saw it on TV.
I can actually specifically remember the exact time at which it suddenly became legal to advertise prescription drugs on television. Because remember until the mid-'90s there was literally a law against it. No RX ads on TV whatsoever until they changed the rule. Within a few years that was all there was during the commercials.
It struck me as somewhat of an indictment of the prescription drug push. But also, an indictment of the miracle cure infomercial-“got (insert problem here)?! Well, HAVE WE GOT A SOLUTION FOR YOU! In three easy steps (introduce obscure Swedish doctor)...” Ah. The 90s. Prescription drugs readily prescribed, miracle cures abound.
The year this came out (1996) was the last great year for mainstream radio/music videos. 1997 had a dozen plus good songs, but otherwise it was a terrible year and it only got worse.
Still remember seeing them at Music Midtown in 1999 in Atlanta, I was an old man rocking out in the midst of the teenagers. They opened the set with this tune, to say the crowd went nuts is an understatement. It was bedlam. Can we go back....
All you youngsters out there… this mayhem was played on rock radio in the 90’s. Yes. We had original music and eclectic artists populating the airwaves.
@RexApplegate Only problem... I remember they still played Bob Seger's new album along with other bands like this... I get it. Bob was tge shiz. Even uncle Ted forced Damn Yankees. And THAT was ok on WRIF. But...... Not Bob. Ha! Always remember.... Drew blows!
I use to work with Joey Mazzola, guitarist/song writer for Sponge, on Melrose Blvd in the late 80s. I remember the nights we would discuss various bands and musical acts in LA. Seriously, Joey was really super knowledgable about music, song structure and music theory. Hella of guitar player too.
I'm here because I follow Dave Ellefson and love his new band The Lucid. I was like, hey that Vinnie dude is an amazing singer, lemme check out his other band and damn, Sponge rocks!
the distortion is them justifying bothering (to hope at your expense ..., to insist despite you and or just or to leave you stranded after they've flattered themselves[?] ) because of feeling bothered by you saying you feel bothered (unless you were just overwhelmed.)
ive been a addict almost long as I been a musician, 18 years about. every time my addictions got too bad my creativity went out the door as well as the drive to play music.. Now im clean and I can actually get new music written and I play much better clean than fucked up...
Idk cuz a person like me im like a person on drugs sober lmao so i need to do the right ones like weed shrooms acid dmt and mdma is the hardest ill do now. But that rest nah nooo coke or booze n pills n fkn meth etc THOSE are how ya fcuk up but to each they own and were all diff
I remember when this tune came out. I gave it about a 20, I remember radio station ' pushing ' it and hearing a lady dj talking about how she couldn't wait to hear it again. I thought " really? " You don't have any better going than that? We used to call it ' Waxy Static '. Reminded me of old washing machine I was trying to fix.
This guy still reminds me of Layne Staley... He looked like Staley to me 15 years ago when I saw the video for Plowed on MTV's Alternative Nation, and he still looks like him to me today. I remember being the only one at my high school liking this album, or even Sponge... Ohwell, I don't care what other people think, this song kicks ass.
yea SICK time for rock...if I'm ever stranded on a desert island just give me alice in chains, soundgarden, stp and sponge cds...ill be fine..oh wait and water haha!!!
saw these guys last night at The Chance theatre in poughkeepsie NY, kick ass show and real down to earth people, Vinnie sounds Exactly the same and still rocking.
Shout out to Drew Lane and the late Mike Clark for making sure this song was hyped well into the 2000's in metro detroit and thus making me aware of it. Such a cool tune.

Totally forgot about this song. Was listening to Sirius XM Lithium and heard plowed by sponge and it reminded me of this one. Been probably 20 years but listening in 2022!!
Each time I hear Chris Jericho's Y2J ring entrance theme playing, the opening part with the countdown always made me think of the opening riff to this song.
Saw these guys and had the privilege to meet Vinnie in person at lapeer days , lapeer michigan with seven Mary three. These guys are amazing. Thank you for the music.
I remember hearing this song at the mid of 90's!! year is 2020 and still a so fuckn bad ass song!! Makes me feel happy and full nostalgic! We cant go to the past and live that time again but hearing musics like this we can feel all the good things what we lived at that time!. What a good times! How i miss this...
I remember hearing this on the bus going to middle school in the 90's. Had a skater for a bus driver who came equipped with his own boombox. Jammed out every morning I remember hearing let's talk about sex from salt n pepa too. Ahhhh the good ole 90's.
Apparently the lead singer had his gold tooth removed because it wasn't put in correctly and it was causing gum issues. He had it melted down and made to be part of a skull ring that he now wears
I remember this song coming out over 4th grade summer vacation. I had MTV on constantly hoping it would play next. To this day, I can't recall it ever playing on the radio
The year was 1996 and my dad moved us away from all my friends to another state. Freshman year in high school and didnt know anybody. This song brought me peace during the isolation and all the awkwardness. Thank you Sponge!!!
One of the most underrated singles of the '90s. '96 genius. I remember blasting this album on my Discman (ha) at the start of sophomore year of high school. I took a drink from the water fountain and some field hockey chick came up right behind me as this song was pumping me up and I gave her this "f*ck" look as I turned and walked away.
For some reason the chorus of this song has lived rent free in my brain since 1996.

And ya I have listened to their work
I actually own all of Sponge's albums. It's a shame they never got their due in the 90's. They were actually one of the best post-grunge bands out there.

You mean grunge
@@ReadingAreaRailfan no, it’s post grunge.

What a kick-ass song. Doesn't matter what year, decade, genre, etc..,, It's good f'ing music....
Hell yeah!

This song is a forgotten mini-masterpiece. Almost makes me feel nostalgic.
No doubt about it for me. %100 without a doubt feel that nostalgia
Almost?
Does it make you ... wax nostalgic?
This is still one of my all time favorites....
90's, when music videos could be outrageous and the song lyrics were completely confusing, yet the song was still awesome.
