look what i spotted on my holiday’s!!

apparently you don’t see it here anymore because of dog’s chewing on bones less (since BSE)
for a moment i felt as if i’d been transported to 1988…

thanks to max for emailing and NJRS for uploading

this clip is in real media format, so you will need the plugin to watch it. i’ve been desperately trying to figure out a way to get it on youtube, but can’t for the life of me figure out how to convert that file format… if anyone knows, please give me a yell!

So what if your jeans are torn
They’ve been torn since Bros were cool
I wanted you for a little while
You got it wrong by a million miles
Big deal what a thrill what a let down
Kissing in your car
When I should have been out
I want the Prodigy really loud
I want it all right now

this pair were definately riding on the coat-tales of trouble (fake accents and all) and the song sort of veers between embarassing and tragic, yet somehow still has a ‘certain naive charm’.

stick you - daphne & celeste

You got facial hair like a polar bear
You blow up like a toad and then explode
Your face looks mean like Halloween
You got big red eyes like cherry pies
You got the IQ of a digeridoo
You look insane and got no brain
You got a big fat belly like a bowl full of jelly
Your fat mum Milly looks like Free Willy

genius!

tatu - all the things she said

I’m in serious shit, I feel totally lost
If I’m asking for help it’s only because
Being with you has opened my eyes
Could I ever believe such a perfect surprise?

maybe the most underrated pop girl-band asides from shampoo? check out their cover of ‘how soon is now’ too…

hey mickey - toni basil

Oh Mickey, what a pity, you don’t understand
You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
Oh Mickey, you’re so pretty, can’t you understand
It’s guys like you, Mickey
Ooh what you do Mickey, do Mickey
Don’t break my heart, Mickey

despite the fact she must have been at least 35 when this was recorded it’s still an all-time teen-pop classic.

spice girls - if u can’t dance

whenever I go out wherever it may be
There never is a keanu but a dweeb lookin at me
but then even if I did score
he’s a loser on the dance floor,
Take a deep breath count 1 2 3.

back when they were good.
sigh.

lunachicks - don’t want you

I had such ver high hopes
That you could be the butter for my toast
Well in my mind
You were red hot
But it turned into a long shot!

the lunachicks are the ultimate head-on collision between riot grrrl and pop.

bikini kill - rebel girl

When she talks, I hear the revolutions
In her hips, there’s revolutions
When she walks, the revolution’s coming
In her kiss, I taste the revolution

more riot…

hole - she walks on me

geeks do not have pedigrees or
perfect punk-rock resumes
or anorexic magazines
it smells like girl, it smells like girl

courtney shouting into a mic in hot pink hot pants, how can you beat it?

shampoo made it ok to like both the manics and TT! (take that) yup they were the original girl power - everybody thinking you were wierd, having no other friends apart from each other, liking TT/manics, and puking up on your coats - pretty much summed up being two teenage girl best friends back then

i love this clip because they are singing live - so nice to see
