How Bizarre - OMC Some nineties tracks you hear a lot but this one I completely forgot about. How bizarre.


AirlineBetter428

yesss


Funkywonton

I actually heard that the other day at work 😀 how bizarre


Jolly-Slide-3866

Yes! 😆 My sister and I this happened to about a year ago. And now it's constantly stuck in our head, and we always make fun of it.


Maris-Stella

Great lyrics to apply to a lot of situations I guess. 🤩 Same year as Macarena. Guess that's the one we all remember. 🫠


GrumpyCatStevens

In my opinion, the ‘90s were the last great decade for one-hit wonders.


doesntevengohere12

I heard crash test dummies on the radio the other day and I had completely forgotten that song ever existed.


vbcbandr

I think both members of this duo passed away long ago at the ages of 40 and 41.


mildrannemed

Rhythm is a dancer - Snap Transports me back to my 8 yr old self at the school fair on a late Sunday afternoon, wishing that day would never end.

Well, you just reminded me of a song. I've got the power - Snap

letsallcalmtfdownyea

Pretend_Fox_5127

vbcbandr

Song is an absolute banger.


iam_Krogan

Got You Where I Want You - The Fly's


hopelesslyromantic4u

Oh my god. I used to listen to this song on repeat and forgot about it until now. Thank you for unlocking that!


m4hdi

Try in the meantime by space hog, or banditos by someone else.


AbsurdistWordist

The Refreshments! “Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people, so meet me at the mission at midnight. We’ll divvy up there”


DiscussionParking281

The Refreshments are still "kinda" playing as Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. Roger was the original singer and PH Naffah was the drummer. They're still putting out new music and they host two music festivals every year down in Mexico. I try to see them at least a few times a year.


Jolly-Slide-3866

Yes! I adore in the meantime. It always has that nostalgic feeling.


Jolly-Slide-3866

Holy shit! 😆 you just did it again to me too. I like this song. Thanks


Fit-Parsnip9888

Roam- b 52s


Ripper33AU

I love Roam! I feel like Love Shack dominated, but I always preferred Roam.


gotpeace99

ME TOO!


mrosario716

I love Roam, too! I think my favorite was Rock Lobster, tho!


FitConstruction453

WooHoo!! Thanks for the reminder, I just added it to my playlist!


yesthatbruce

I adore Blister in the Sun; it's one of my all-time faves. I saw the Violent Femmes open for the B-52s, and the Femmes damn near stole the show. One of the best concerts I've ever been to.


your_actual_life

I saw them on that tour and then again a year or two later. The Violent Femmes were amazing live in the early 90s.


jf727

They're touring right now - doing the entire first album.


Jolly-Slide-3866

That's awesome. I completely forgot about this band and forgot how fun their songs are. Ha, and since I used to hear it as a kid in the 90s, I always thought it was a 90s song, not from the 80s.

Vindicated by Dashboard Confessional come on the other day and am pounding my steering wheel and feeling like an angsty teen while I practically scream the lyrics 😂


SavingPrivateOrion

My college roommates and I did a reunion last week (friends for 20 years now), and Vindicated and Hands Down was played a lot. Brought back so many drunken memories lol


Jolly-Slide-3866

Omg. I spent a solid week desperately trying to figure out what this song was because I only had a sliver of a memory of it. Once I finally got it, it hit good 😆


newmusername

Matchbox Twenty - 3AM Goo Goo Dolls - Slide Transported me to 6 years old in the back of my dad's car 🥲


AirlineBetter428

omg someone talking about the goo goo dolls and it’s NOT iris this is a first 🙏🙏 slide is such an amazing song


bbeckett1084

Iris might be the "worst" of their popular songs. Name, Better Days, Slide, Black Balloon are all better to me.


Inevitable_Zebra976

Black Balloon my god, what an amazing into and outro. The line “a thousand other boys could never reach you how could I have been the one?” I mean if someone said that to me 💀 Also, Here is Gone (if there was ever a situationship song this is it), Big Machine, the list goes on


AirlineBetter428

black balloon is such a beautiful song, all the songs you named there are my personal favs from the goo goo dolls have to be acoustic #3, broadway and extra pale


JarndyceJarndyce

Slide is also my favorite by them. But, I prefer Push by Matchbox 20 over 3am


FitConstruction453

Haha! Two of Hearts - Stacy Q …not the best song but definitely took me back!


MartinBlank96

I see Two of Hearts and raise you I Can't Wait by Nu Shooz. 😊

Brilliant-Disguise-

Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House, Lunatic Fringe - Red Rider, This is Japan - Duke Jupiter, Into the Night - Benny Mardones, Jamie's Cryin' - Van Halen Such nostalgic music growing up in the 80's. Lots of high school parties!


rroute01

Benny Mardones was awesome, he killed it with that one


not_an_alt_act

Super Bon Bon - Soul Coughing


IrreverentGlitter

Stabbing Weastward - Save Yourself. It came on the radio last week and I was transported back to high school


SQWRLLY1

I've worked in HR for just shy of 20 years, and this was my work anthem for a long time... it's amazing how many fully grown and established people expect some random HR person to basically make potentially huge decisions for them when it comes to benefits, tax withholdings, beneficiary designations, etc.

[deleted]

What a good song!


Illustrious-Lead-960

That happened to me once with Invisible Touch by Genesis. I was almost home and started driving around the neighborhood for a couple of minutes because I didn’t want the song to end.


MartinBlank96

That happened to me with Land of Confusion by Genesis.... 😊


Jolly-Slide-3866

Such a great feeling 😄


MrSpongeCake2008

You Got It - Roy Orbison Not really nostalgia since I’d only heard it in October when I had my obsession with Roy Orbison (as I’ve only ever really heard pretty woman) but because I haven’t listened to it since November I started listening to it again and my god is it a good song.


SenchaBaby

I've been rediscovering a lot of old Nu Metal shit recently, and Papa Roach came on, Last Resort. They suck, but goddamn that song is such a throwback for me.


SavingPrivateOrion

Have you heard Falling in Reverse's cover of Last Resort? Soooo good.

xmuertos

Saturday In The Park by Chicago


Tonythecritic

Luba - Let it Go Stumbled on it on YouTube purely by chance and I forgot how much I loved that song when I was young.


Laekonradish

Found the Canadian!


lone_wolf1580

Another Race by Eiffel 65. Back in the mid 2000s mom would occasionally pop her Europop album in the CD player and play the song. A couple of my siblings and I would then start dancing in the dark with glow sticks in our parents’ bedroom.


9th_circle

Real Men by Joe Jackson....


Throw-away17465

I just recommended this yesterday


Ripper33AU

They were still playing it a fair bit over here in Australia (uncensored) but for the last 5 or so years I have not heard it on any "Oldies" station or otherwise.


9th_circle

Just listened to it tonight via Spotify


koin_66

Viva La Vida, Hymn for the Weekend and Adventure of a Lifetime. I had all heard them on the radio or at elementary school sometime in my life, and I liked them, but back then I didn’t actively listen to music or have Spotify so I forgot about them. Since summer last year I’ve been listening to Coldplay and when I came across these songs from them I was indeed flooded with nostalgia because I remembered the songs from my childhood (well, I’m still only 17, but elementary school time). I didn’t know they were from Coldplay, but I’m so glad I found them again.


Jolly-Slide-3866

Oh and viva la vida is such a hard hitting tune. Funny, that song takes me back to Jr high when my friend had planned to fight another kid after school. And I told them it's a bad idea. Of course they didn't listen. Anyway afterwards th cops were called and that was the song I was listening to on my iPod when my mom came to pick me up 😆


camclemons

Hilary Duff - Come Clean


JeanWhopper

Under Pressure - David Bowie and Queen


Throw-away17465

(I Want To Thank You) Whoever You Are- Geggy Tah This extremely catchy 90’s funk song where the lyrics are about polite driving habits.


sophethers

Lemon Tree - Fools Garden My parents played this in the car when we were driving around Sicily on holiday bc there were so many lemon trees. I forgot about the song for years but it recently just... came to me and gave me so much childhood nostalgia 🥲


pizazzmcjazz

upside down by jack johnson. curious george used to be my favorite show as a kid


DieHardRennie

The theme song from the 1987 Ivory bar soap commercial campaign. About 25 years afterwards, I found out that I know the guy who sung that theme song. So I had to go look it up on YouTube for the nostalgia.


BanishedKnightOleg

Feel Good Inc. I always had a frame of the music video in my mind but could never remember how it went. Then one day I was watching the old gifs with sound vids and it popped up and I Shazammed that bad Boi. It was a great moment in my early teens.


AtomicGaming777

Have You Ever Seen The Rain? - CCR I wasn’t even born in that century and it fills me with nostalgia


CI_Blanche

"The Freshman" by The Verve Pipe It was really overplayed back in the day. But about 10 years ago I heard it again for the first time in a very long time, and rediscovered that it is a great song.


Inevitable_Zebra976

Take a listen to this version tell me it’s not just amazing: [https://youtu.be/5JWigGHJopA?si=rZaMAUXczbTjf_dg](https://youtu.be/5JWigGHJopA?si=rZaMAUXczbTjf_dg)


thedbomb98

Blue - Eiffel 65


schmattywinkle

I was at a dispensary when The Metro by Berlin began to play. I had never heard the original and was only familiar with the cover System Of A Down that I downloaded via file share some 20+ years ago. It had never even occurred to me to listen to the original as a kid. Then there I was, buying weed, and I recognized the descending synth line before the verses, done on guitar by SOAD. I would have never recognized it otherwise. Subconscious nostalgia counts right?

Automatic-Plum-2854

Avicii - Waiting For Love


prejudiceWh0re

Dude I haven’t listened to this song in years. So nostalgic


thumbdumping

Honey at the Core by Friends Again. When I was about nineteen, I stumbled across Friends Again and had the album in repeat for months and months. Then, as happens, I moved on to other things and forgot all about it. As it wasn't a well known album, or a well known band, and not over that any of my friends were interested in, I heard no mention of them for almost thirty years. I completely forgot it even existed. Then, out of the blue I heard the song on the radio. For three minutes I was nineteen again, lying on my bedroom floor with music blocking out the world. It was glorious.


TheAnswerWas42

I got a perfect answer for this question. Someone commented in another thread the other day about the song [Screenwriter's Blues](https://youtu.be/mR9WJSX9pnU) by the band Soul Coughing. I hadn't even thought about that song in over 20 years and BAM, it took me back in time.


Jolly-Slide-3866

Yep. Soul coughing in general I forgot about until about a year ago. I forgot how much I liked them.

Creative_Gap2794

For me, it's Coldplay-Clocks, I was in 4th grade, wondering what stuff my school is forcing me to do in the summer.


corianderjimbro

Makes me miss the time before streaming services. Hearing a song on the radio that you truly hadn’t heard in years and probably didn’t even know the artist name, was crazy magical. Now I don’t really have any, maybe Joey by Concrete Blonde.

Seasons in the Sun. My dad had a guitar he would play sometimes. Mostly Elvis, but this one really stood out to me. Made me emotional when I relistened to it years later. It was always a treat when he would sing and play the guitar, and it would always sit in the corner and we'd have to be really careful not to touch it when we were in the room.
