I was in elementary me and my family finally moved into our forever home after apartment living and staying with relatives, I remember this song was all over the radio, reminds me of the walks i would take with my parents and I would be amazed at all the sunflowers which were everywhere. Today there are no sunflowers there but they are still my favorite flower and this song still reminds me of those walks and that time
No start in the 90s and go backwards you got to remember the bands of the 90 where kids in the 70s&80s so it wasn’t the millennials who came up with the music they just listen and now they put out crap and i cant figure out how they didn’t learn good music from the generations before them
This era of music was so special 🥰 the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Big Reel fish, OMC how bizarre, Jamiroquai, No Doubt I'm just a girl, Blues Traveler, Savage Garden "Chicken cherry 🍒 Cola" great memories So nostalgic! ☺️ Reminds me of Seventeen Magazine, watching Clueless and ordering CDs from BMG and Columbia House music clubs get 12 CDs for $1 who remembers? (If you do you old... Like me 😆 lol)
Some kids today do appreciate great music from this era (because they were raised on it by their cool parents) and aren’t afraid to admit it. Others most certainly would appreciate it if we play it for them and teach them why it matters, how it’s crafted and how it’s executed. The question for the vast majority is, will they have any interest in “our” music? Maybe not. If they do listen and don’t like it then it’s too late, their brains are already inundated with the kind of music that dominates the billboard these days, plus what their peers listen to influences them hugely. It’s a different world now. There is no question that music from this era is superior in every way, but different generations appreciate different music for different reasons. Rather than worry too much about them, I will settle for feeling extremely grateful that we grew up when we did. It was an unprecedented time for so much great music. Remember how we were constantly exposed to new and fantastic music? It was coming out from so many artists and bands so quickly that it was difficult to keep up with. We were very lucky.
This melody has been stuck in my brain for the last few months, and I had no idea what to even look up, in order to find it. Thank God for Pandora for providing me with this rediscovered bit of perfection
"Awe, these ants are ruining our picnic!" "You mean this picnic is ruining our ants!" So weird that this was the reference that reunited me with this song.😹
@barryisroff7336 I heard an interview with Justin Currie, the lead singer/songwriter.. and he referred to it as a bridge. The song was heavily influenced by the Beatles.. starting with that opening chord, similar to Hard Days Night. The format of the song came from We Can Work It Out.. with a major key for the verses, and then switching to a minor key for the bridge. Justin is a huge fan of The Beatles.. and wanted to write a song with a Paul McCartney type of melody. Ironically, at first, he considered it a throwaway song.. but it ended up being their biggest selling single in the US.
Another great song that always takes me back to the mid 90's, especially 1995. I was only ten, and I really miss those fun, carefree times! I also remember hearing this song playing in the trailer for the movie Flipper (starring Elijah Wood) back then. :)
And needless to say, the hairstyles on these women are not even much different at all after 25 yrs. However, I like this song, it rocks!!! Great memories .As much as I love old school music from the '60s, '70s, and '80s, I would give anything to get 1995 back than to be in 2020 right now!
I have heard this song so many times throughout my life, but never knew the lyrics nor did I know the title. after 25 years, I'm so happy that I have the song's info.
I am only 13 years old, but I can honestly say, that the 90's were the last decade of music that was good before music started going to sh*t. I listen to this music all the time and never get tired of it.❤
I remember waiting for this song to come on the radio so I could record it on my mix tape. It's such a short song, I think it took a while because I'd always seem to just catch the end of it!
This song, Jewel’s Who Will Save Your Soul, and Joan Osborne’s What If God was One Of Us emerged from VH-1’s Crossroads late night videos. Back when VH-1 and MTV played music videos.
Great band. Have to listen to this track every couple of years when the tune starts bouncing around in my head. Never watched the video til now... Now I've got this imagery stuck in my head too 😂😂😂
Suddenly I'm elementary school age once again; Living one of my childhood summers playing N64, jumping on our trampoline, eating at neighborhood BBQs, and kids summer movies at the local theater...
when I was 4, my parents bought me a record player & let me play a stack of 78s that they had. this was one of them. I'm 62 now & this is one of my top 10 favorite songs of all time.
@@kojoano it really does suck now with the mumble rap and auto tune on every voice you hear, wasnt so mundane and profane in the past, overtly degenerate and lacking any individualism or true creativity. Literally algorithms and AI bots are helping write modern formulaic music.
The harmonies in the chorus are unreal. I can not ever hear what the guitarist is adding exactly. It's so freaking good I can't even express it in words.
This song was in my head for weeks, I tried singing it to my wife but she told me to stop and I was probably not singing it right. Finally I sang into the google voice thing and it showed it to me. What a time we live in.
this song was such a staple of my childhood bc it was in so many total drama island tribute videos but i totally forgot about it until a couple of months ago. hearing it again unearthed way too many lost childhood memories in my brain i felt like i was going to throw up ugh those were the days
It’s impossible to think that the video ANNOYED me when it first came out… as an adult I freakin LOVE THIS and love that you this song conveniently pops up just at about all the convenience stores!!
Wow i been searching for this for years, this makes me remember ice skating at Chelsea piers as a kid in the 90's i can smell the air nostalgia is soo crazy
You ever get one of those earwiggy songs stuck in your head, and the only way to get it out is to listen to the real deal? Is that why you are here too?
This will always remind me of high school and the excitement of almost graduating and time to start my adult life. Such a greatly written pop song with a catchy beat.
They were annoyed as it outperformed their more 'serious' songs they cared more for. They even uploaded the song in the worst quality and mono-stereo on their channel. Shame they feel that way.
You got married the year I was born, my whole life has been encapsulated within the period of time you were married. I'm 26 now and JUST NOW finally starting to feel like I'm getting a grasp on life, although each week is another struggle!
I heard this song come on a radio station I was listening to and I thought "Didn't this have that weird video?" so I looked it up. So short and catchy.
It’s been a very long time since I heard this song 🎶 I remember hearing it from a movie commercial when I was watching one of The Land Before Time movies as a kid, this was really a good song 🎵.
@@Blueoceandog holy hell you’re right I just looked it up and watched the trailer how did you remember that? A trailer from 27 years ago and the song played literally for only 7 seconds at the end of the trailer??
This song was great, it knows exactly what it is. Get's immediately to the chorus after four lines, exhibits it's chops and gets the fuck out in under 3 minutes. This song was excellent when making mix tapes, as it would slot perfectly on the end of side B when you had 2 minutes left over on the tape.
I was walking through the Flamingo Casino last night before dinner and I heard this start playing. Not thinking about it, I started lip syncing and matched Justin Currie's start point. Hadn't heard this song in years and I wasn't even sure I was thinking of the right song first!
I was making a 90s playlist on Apple Music and came across this old gem. Reminds me of my sister and I, we were 12 and 14 when this came out. We would watch this video on VH-1. Those were the days, it’s a shame we were so eager to grow up 🥺
This song is a 90s earworm but I find the video horrifying 😂 what is it saying about men and women? Men are babies, women enjoy it? So weird. The 90s were a wild time.
Yeah, but there's still hot chicks in it! The 90's sucked a big one, but one hit wonder ear candy like this made them a little bearable. I think del amitri were a Scottish band. Maybe it's a Scottish thing for men to enjoy being dominated by women.
One last comment I remember hearing this gem in the 1990s as a kid then again on family guy and years later from Bless The Harts the 90s is strong with this one long live Del Amitry the 90s forever ,
I graduated high school in 1995 and this song always takes me back to happier, care free times
I was not graduating that year but that is one of my fave years in high school..... I agree it brings me right back.
i sang this to my hs sweetheart over the phone.
I was in elementary me and my family finally moved into our forever home after apartment living and staying with relatives, I remember this song was all over the radio, reminds me of the walks i would take with my parents and I would be amazed at all the sunflowers which were everywhere. Today there are no sunflowers there but they are still my favorite flower and this song still reminds me of those walks and that time
I love old school music. It sucks that they don't make music like this anymore.
This sounds like it should be on the Shrek 2 soundtrack
Agreed
It was on the Flipper soundtrack.
It wasn't?
I still think of Flipper… If I made this music video there would be more beach and more anime!!
I know I wasn't crazy when I thought that's where I heard it from, IK it's not on there but at least I'm not the only one who thought so
" Oh no! These ants are ruining our picnic " ... " You mean this picnic is ruining our ants " 😂😂😂
100% this is what brought me here. Still watching the episode right now
Lmao 🤣 I thought I was only one thinks like that
The 90's we're better and everyone knows this 💯💯👊🏼
This is a nice catchy song, but it was influenced by '60's pop music which remains present to this day (ads on TV/cable).
Yeah, no kidding.😂
The 90s weren't just better, they were the best
The absolute best
No start in the 90s and go backwards you got to remember the bands of the 90 where kids in the 70s&80s so it wasn’t the millennials who came up with the music they just listen and now they put out crap and i cant figure out how they didn’t learn good music from the generations before them

Chicken cherry cola lol
Barenaked Ladies is who you're thinking of for "chicken cherry cola" lol
@@ClassicalPan there's a part in the savage garden song "I want you" that has a lyric that says something about cherry cola as well.
Holy fuck. This song randomly popped in my head. Still listening in 2024. Take us back!! Kids today will never know the good music like this.
Cool 😎 🆒️
Mine too...woke up with it in my head
Likewise!

One of a very few perfect pop songs to have ever been written.
Yes it is
The band themselves hate it.
@@padfolio I can imagine. They have probably played it thousands of times. They probably also feel they have better songs in their stellar repertoire.
Perfect yes. It’s a feel good paradise experience. Thank you 😊
@@tam1729 Can't agree more. Brings a smile to my face every time I listen to it
I just saw these guys in concert on 06/06/23 and they sounded great live!
We just saw them 6/11/23! 😁
6/25/23. Couldn't believe it. Pitch perfect
Seeing them tomorrow. Not on purpose, but they're playing with Barenaked ladies and five for fighting.
@@domf5312 That's how I saw them. Went for BareNakedLadies and SemiSonic and I never even heard of these guys before, but I instantly became a fan.
Seeing tomorrow.
1995 was a good year.
Yes it was
One of the very best I ever experienced.
25 Years Ago

What a great band. Highly underrated
Love the harmonies in this song!
Finally someone uploaded this!! Madd props..
Thanks
Yes, I looooove this song.
Lyrics on the left and instruments on the right. Thank you whoever did this for us.

@@marbleblue5127 it hit here, just not Top 10.
Way better than the Hollies and I haven't looked it up, but I would suspect that Del Amitri wrote their own songs?

Playing this while I cuddle my husband on a cold November morning. We both gotta go to work at 9:15/9:30 but for this moment... it dont matter
This song , blues traveler run around and sister hazel all for you always reminded me of each other in how they sound
A short sweet perfect tune. Always has (and will) make me happy.

I heard this song quite a bit on my drive to College and it definitely gave off positive vibes. These kind of songs and Bands are the best!!
I had this song on my mind recently, never knew the artist..thank you!
I swear this song was in every teen movie in the late 90's/early 2000's. Also, I always thought the lyrics were "the right time, the wrong me"
I heard this song in many movie trailers in the 90s. Glad I finally found this song
What a bunch of bonnie babies :)
This video totally creeped me out as a kid I saw it on MTV when mtv used to play music videos. it was on the radio all the time
why aren't there entertaining music videos like this one anymore?
I'm sure even Dishwalla Counting blue cars video was entertaining and weird at the same time too
It’s impossible to think that the video ANNOYED me when it first came out… as an adult I freakin LOVE THIS and love that you this song conveniently pops up just at about all the convenience stores!!
I vividly remember watching this music video and running around my grandma's house singing this loudly thinking about the video
I’ve always associated this song with the trailer for that Elijah Wood Flipper movie lol. Thank you, 90s.
Same for me lol I thought I was the only one
Trust me. It makes it that much more special when we finally get inside and see Renee Zelweger doing her whole scrunch-face routine.
This was still pretty big in the ‘00s. I remember hearing it.
That Girl with the short hair in the purple dress is one classy babe!! HUBBA, HUBBA😍
2024 finally found it LoL start this music video when I was a kid
Oh my gosh it took me forever to find this song!
Why come that is?

"Oh no! These ants are ruining our picnic!"
"You mean this picnic is ruining our ants!"

The recording is so minimalist but appropriate and clear. It just doesn't hide anything, so they had to be good musicians.
Agree
You ever get one of those earwiggy songs stuck in your head, and the only way to get it out is to listen to the real deal? Is that why you are here too?
Ya bro
I love the bass line in this song. Simple and brilliant.

Great song. Creepy video.
And The words "pretty baby" it may have been a popular term of endearment back in the 90's, even Britney Spears used it.
This will always remind me of high school and the excitement of almost graduating and time to start my adult life. Such a greatly written pop song with a catchy beat.
Man I remember watching this when I was really little... I honestly thought it was a fever dream 😂
Hard to believe that the band hates their own hit song and what they saw as a throwaway pop song was their biggest hit
Ya it's crazy
They were annoyed as it outperformed their more 'serious' songs they cared more for. They even uploaded the song in the worst quality and mono-stereo on their channel. Shame they feel that way.
This is the best pop song ever. It’s so short, but it’s all in there lol.
this song is so fast i love it. i remember listen to this song back in the 1995 ride in car. it a good jam. my jam.
I remember hating that this song was so short. Now every song is this short.
My all-time favorite song growing up! Thanks for uploading this! Brings back the memories.

This song, Geggy Tah, and the Bo Deans. Summer of 1996 was magic!

Same here dudette 😬 disturbin
Yeah, but there's still hot chicks in it! The 90's sucked a big one, but one hit wonder ear candy like this made them a little bearable. I think del amitri were a Scottish band. Maybe it's a Scottish thing for men to enjoy being dominated by women.
