The other day I was telling somebody that I have this weird habit of continually discovering a band or an album or a song that's ten years old (and that everybody else in the world already knows) and suddenly deciding "Holy shit -- that's great! Where's it been all my life?"
That admitted, I don't think this little number -- which was number one on the Billboard charts this day in 1998 -- is ever going to inspire that reaction.
Not the worst thing I've ever heard, granted, but let's just say it kind of helps put my disappointment with I Am Legend in perspective.

Finding great music that I missed is why I come HERE! I know own most of the Apples in Stereo, the Strokes, and other artists cause of all you guys and gals!

Hey -- it could have been worse.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there's a Marky Mark record I overlooked at some point...

PS: I have been out of touch with the Top 100 Billboard charts since the mid 70's! And proud of it!!!
It's too late now, I suppose, but I can't tell you how much I regret not getting jiggy with it when I had the chance.
ReplyDeleteWhile true that this was a horrible song, it put me in mind of one of the songs I did like from Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff.
ReplyDeleteThis was one of them.
