remember back in the '90s all the youth of europe wanted to frolic in London, no terrorism and no economic crisis, I think that decade will never return while I' m alive
It was pretty huge in its day and I believe was the song at the end of Scream, an iconic (for a while) horror film. Their album wasn't that good though and Saffron didn't sound good live, so they kind of fizzled out.
Definitely a contender for most gorgeous 90's pop rock girl along with the girl from the Cardigans and Natalie Imbruglia. She was also a dance music singer for N joi
I am from ex Yugoslavia. Was a kid in the early and mid teens in the 90s. Abusive father, powerty, wars in the region. I ain't missing ANYTHING about that decade... except the naivity of childhood and my perfect weight and jumping abilities.
Takes me back to 1996. I just finished Air Force Basic Training. I was waiting for a Greyhound Bus to take me to the airport for my first assignment. This song came on the MTV late night programming. The energy and pulse the song gave me, overcame my apprehension. Turned my anxiety to anticipation. Thanks Republica and MTV. I needed that jolt and i will never lose that connection to this song.
I can't believe this song is 25yr old I remember when it was first in the charts . I have not listened to republica for years glad I stumbled across this song 😀😀

I love her British accent singing 'yeaah yeah but he's drop dead gorgeoUS! 🤩 I can recall being around 12 years old when this came out and it was being promoted for the iconic 90s slasher film Scream... whenever that film is referenced, I think of Drop Dead Gorgeous! 😊
One of my favs from back in the 90s. Saffron was a gorgeous woman with attitude and I always saw Republic as successors to Transvision Vamp, with the same pop/punk style fronted by a stunning young lady. Unfortunately they only lasted a couple of years before dropping off the radar, although I believe they are still going. They should have been huge given the success of other female fronted pop/punk/rock bands around at the time like Garbage, Elastica, Hole and many others, Republica deserved to be right up their too.
The blazing, quiet summer of 1996. Republica hit the airwaves like a storm, I still remember this on CD UK or some other Saturday programme and being amazed by it, rushing out to get the album.
I still love this song as much as I did when I was 15. How is that even possible? Some songs just age beautifully. And they’ve always done wonderful production work. I miss the bad-ass female fronted bands of the 90’s.. fortunately many of them are still going strong today. :)
Can't overlook Curve.... Toni & Dean were fcukin amazing 👏 Lush, Garbage, Skunk Anansie, Sneaker Pimps, Dubstar, Throwing Muses, Cranes, St Etienne plus The Sugarcubes and The Cardigans had been along beforehand . Can acknowledgement be given to Blondie, Siouxsie and the Banshees, plus Cocteau Twins who'd paved the way for all those bands. Debbie and Liz are still writing and performing in their 60s/70s.....
Yesssss Garbage is still one of my favorite bands of all time. And Tracy is phenomenal. Hooverphonic I became obsessed with at my very first concert at age 16 when they opened for Fiona Apple. Still love them to this day!
Bin on the Isle of Wight several Times in the 90th and loved screaming out this song while taking an walk on the seaside. Awesome! I'm 59 , German, and still love the Isle of Wight.
saw Republica live at The Phoenix Festival in Stratford upon Avon in the mid 90's. Stage 2 tent was empty, right at the front. What an amazing set they did. Memories.
Loved this song when it came out, and tonight (June 2023) is the first time I've seen the video! I've always been super impressed with the insane precision of the drummer at 0:16-0:17.
This started playing on my phone randomly for no reason one day (apparently scrolled through thousands of songs whilst the screen was frozen, with no input from me, then started playing). Strange occurrence, no?
Saffron! I remember when this song came out in 1996! I was listening to The End in Portland, Oregon when I heard it. I was blown away immediately! This song 🎵 is one of the best songs ever recorded on Republica’s first multi platinum album! About a month ago I watched the original Scream movie 🎥 and literally flipped out when I heard Drop Dead 💀 Gorgeous! Wes Craven chose this song and made it Scream royalty! After the movie I found a brand new CD of them and bought it!
II used to see the singer Saffron from time to time when I used to walk the dogs with my late brother when I lived in Brighton UK (her hometown too) she is a lovely lady, and a pity you don't hear more of them thesedays
I follow this band across the country they never disappoint me. Totally energetic with their sound of electronics/ pop/ punk. I would totally recommend seeing them live. Their new music is fabulous! Quality band.
I just want to take a moment and praise this comments section…yes, the comments section! There is so much love here it’s incredible. Thank you guys for supporting each other and keeping the music alive. 💜

Just fantastic! I'm 54 now and I wish I could go back to England in the 90s when all the music was as good as this. The best years of my life!

This is the most underrated banger ever. This deserves so much more.

Hope all ok on the great USA 🇺🇸
For all the teens that grew up in the 90s let’s be thankful for being able to listen to great tunes like this ! 🙌
I could agree more mate 👍👏
I was one
Yes!
@ciao214Z ?
Or The actual Generation of the Band
Heard this in the pub last night and even though I remember it from the 90’s I just realised how awesome it is. Got it on repeat today. Wow.
I was just saying Republica were NOT COOL when I was 18... But I know ALL the words!
I wanna go drinking with you!!!!
My word, had forgotten how stunning Saffron was! Such a cool look and sound.
Definitely a contender for most gorgeous 90's pop rock girl along with the girl from the Cardigans and Natalie Imbruglia. She was also a dance music singer for N joi
She really was/is! And she was 29 years old at that time, about my age😘❤
@gabrieljohnson4213 “the girl from the Cardigans” Nina Persson is her name. She’s aged very well.
The 90s was the best decade for music I'm 41 I miss the 90s
Missing England and Europe in the 1990s, the best time of my life. Youth was painful but beautiful...
the UK used to be so awesome... Shame what's happened since.
I share the same sentiments, but from Stateside. My early life was rough, but beautiful things come through.
@@fuzzmosisr8601 Oh don't project your declining testosterone levels on the UK
I am from ex Yugoslavia. Was a kid in the early and mid teens in the 90s. Abusive father, powerty, wars in the region. I ain't missing ANYTHING about that decade... except the naivity of childhood and my perfect weight and jumping abilities.
Saffron was my fifth element... so gorgeous ❤️
This girl and the 90's both are gorgeous.
Saffron is SO pretty
Forever 90's! My people unite!!

You made this exact post in the ‘ready to go’ video😂
@@HkFinn83Busted! 🤣
I love her little jumping dance.
Heard on radio today. Forgot what a total banger it is. Stuck in my head all day
It won't go even after weeks
I agree with you both , I have been listening to this song for the past 3 weeks I can't get it out my head.😀
I can't believe this song is 25yr old I remember when it was first in the charts . I have not listened to republica for years glad I stumbled across this song 😀😀
I never knew how good I had it.
Yup
Forreal though
We all
God I just absolutely LOVE this song. Reminds me of being 16 years old, being at school and loving the Scream movie 😀
Check "Pub Pusher" :)
Great to hear this song again,love a bit of pop/punk.(and I'm 73)
I totally forgot this song existed until I recently re-watched Scream.
Your right ;)
@@bill-wd8er lol
OH MY GOD. ME TOO 😯
Ditto
which part?
Love her pop/punk voice, hits you big time with this amazing track ✌️❤️😍
Yeah she really nailed it with Republica, not that her earlier house stuff was bad, her vocal range is better suited to the Brit Pop sound.
She looks even hotter than I imagined when I heard them on the radio
I agree! Her voice is perfect and she applies it to punk and pop!
It's called "an English accent" - Punk is a UK invention.
Good time it was and am 38 haha😂😂
Backwords words, he got em
Shut up, I'm talking
This time, you'll listen
But when I look at you you're forgiven
You drive, too fast and
I smoke, too much and
My heart, is broken
But when I look at you you're forgiven
You're forgiven
I know my ex-boyfriend lies
Oh he does it every time
It's just his permanent disguise
Yeah yeah but he's drop dead gorgeous
Don't go changing every time
Not for me to comprimise
You're still a friend of mine
Yeah yeah and you're drop dead gorgeous
Yeah - end of, stop sulking
Get out, you're walkin
Too bad, I've spoken
But when I look at you you're forgiven
Your lies, don't want em
Drop dead, not joking
This thing, is broken
But when I look at you you're forgiven
You're forgiven

Oh he does it every time

60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, the best era in music.
90 is a top columination
Her voice is incredible!!! ✌️ Didn't appreciate it much being so young in 96' lol
She's drop dead gorgeous! And this is a great track.
I saw this amazing lady on Friday night in my home town, she’s still got it, great gig! ❤️
Biggest 90s crush...
This video is so IN MY FACE!
The lighting and camera are EXTREME!
This has so much ATTITUDE!
They didn't do anything in halves in the 90s XD
90’s music was the best! I used to always watch this video on The Box!
Nah, 70’s music was the best
The years when the music industry was absolutely amazing.
I love her British accent singing 'yeaah yeah but he's drop dead gorgeoUS! 🤩
I can recall being around 12 years old when this came out and it was being promoted for the iconic 90s slasher film Scream... whenever that film is referenced, I think of Drop Dead Gorgeous! 😊
Republica merece más reconocimiento, muchísimo más! era un niño cuando sonaba D.D.G en la radio, vaya que buen recuedo!
TIENES TODA LA RAZON COMPA REPÚBLICA NECESITA MAS RECONOCIMIENTO PULGAR ARRIBA!!!!
The 90’s were great. I miss that decade.
Yes,what is there now?The "trend" has been that awful rap music for 25 years.

Shout out to Snake River Conspiracy
She was Drop dead gorgeous
Loved ELASTICA.
This song is timeless
True !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....................
I definitely agree with that comment 😀
Saffron was drop dead gorgeous absolutely
The blazing, quiet summer of 1996. Republica hit the airwaves like a storm, I still remember this on CD UK or some other Saturday programme and being amazed by it, rushing out to get the album.
Miss the 90s, life was so much better then.
April 1997, was the release date
that guitar tone is sick!

Yeah! Dance, list and remember!

@@andrewphippsphillips1455 Yessssssssss omg I love all of those so much, cocteau twins are okay but more into the tori/kate bush side of etherealism

This is another one of this band’s masterpieces! They’ve created their own thing and it’s fantastic!
She’s also drop dead gorgeous! 😍

Completely forgot about this beauty!!! Just heard it on my favourite podcast (Simon Logan 80s v 90s) and wow. Chills 😘
I still love this track
Love this song !! It ROCKS she is stunning !!!
A fantastic 90s hit.
Miss the 80s and 90s, if only we had time travel

Loved this song when it came out, and tonight (June 2023) is the first time I've seen the video! I've always been super impressed with the insane precision of the drummer at 0:16-0:17.
That's the famous Dave Barbarossa (or Dave barbie) co-founded Adam & The Ants, Bow Wow Wow, and Republica - at least!
I love 90s!!!
Jesus, her voice was amazin. I loved the 90s......x
Love the guitars in this song
I bought this album for my Dad for a Christmas present with his own money 😀 Good times!
“And the one who was actually listening it daily was me” hahaha nice
When the good bands makes music videos and MTV showed them lovely old days.
I love her so much.
This started playing on my phone randomly for no reason one day (apparently scrolled through thousands of songs whilst the screen was frozen, with no input from me, then started playing). Strange occurrence, no?
C'est vraiement incroyable ! Saffron - t'es super cute !

There's nothing better than watching this video on a giant screen at a retro New Year's Eve party!!
This brings back so many old memories. Ah- good old days

One of my favorite bands with female leadsingers. This song is one of my favourites. I also love Ready to go. With ♥️ from the Philippines.✌️🤘👍😉
