Seriously. The only time I listen to FM radio is when I take my wife’s car to get an oil change. So maybe a total of twenty minutes driving time once every six months or so. Every single time, this song comes on. I don’t get it. It was a one hit wonder from like 25 years ago. How is it still getting that much airplay?!

    I just checked it out and I can tell you I’ve never heard this song before in my life.

      Man I hate to say this but it’s probably because you don’t listen to the late 90’s music… what I listened to the is now considered classic/retro. I fell you OP I hope he is still too.

        I’m 43, late 90’s were my college days. I can guarantee you I listened to a lot or music back then.

        This may have been popular in the US, but this is nothing like what my 90’s sounded like.

      It was US alt rock, I dunno how well it traveled. It was one of the first songs (that I remember, anyway) to use sound effects to censor the dirty words on the radio edit, rather than a beep or mute. Which was actually a good idea, because it made it sound natural, like it was just part of the song.

      It wasn’t a bad song, I guess, I remember liking it well enough at the time. I just don’t think it was a good enough song to still be playing as much as it is.

    Song plays twice a day on the radio station my work is always tuned to. I only just learned awhile ago that Everlast is the same dude rapping in “Jump Around”.
