Semi Charmed Life: best progressive Vespa scooter video ever, featuring two hot Asian chicks! (kinda’ rare, here, in the USA).
OOHHhh, so that’s a Vespa scooter ! I remember that video welll !
oh , the song is about drugs , you know … ehhehe
THAT I did not know, that it was a tune about drugs. I’m gonna have to get on youtube and listen to the lyrics, again.
Oh man ,the song is LOADED with drug references. check out the article :

i wannna push u aroundd…
– yea, i see some familiar ones. denying im old tho. i reckon i’d know more if it was the pop charts. 10 years ago… spice girls should be there! 
Push me around ??
see, I always knew you were the violent type ….
as i went through the list, i could tell it was 1997, until you wrote 1997! wow!! i used to like that marcy playground and verve pipe song too. but they’re kinda one-hit wonders. only third eye blind has sustained or bettered their performance. why the sudden write up on this list though?
Because I want to go Matchbox Twenty concert !
Kinda grew up on them you know …
did i tell you i went for a matchbox 20 concert before?
cool, it must have been awesome
You should have a weekly section where you intro new music instead of looking at past hits. Then, once a month, have a voter-powered poll. Then put up a streaming music hit station based on those votes. Voila, instant net radio!
My music taste is too cool for the masses.
That , and I like Vampire Weekend. Not many do .. .LOL
these are my favs too…during my teenage years
I feel young again!
i still hvae some of these songs playing in my car !!
wtf ! need to change CD in the player now …..

My song list:
- Kim Possible theme song
-Spongebob Squarepants theme song

Awwww my old favorites..uhh I mean new. Uhh I’m confused lol. I’m still young dammit!
hhehe , confused EE EE EE EE EEE EEEEE
I only remember the Carebears theme song. It was awesome.
Those were the days mate.
Ahh, Matchbox 20….
garbage.. i love em’!
I guess this line fits in right. “You know you’re old when … “
helloo helloo….. these are the best songs in the world! LOL some can still make me cry > one headlight. and semi charmed life makes me remember my time studying in sg where everybody knows the same dance steps to this song. and garbage rox! spammed their songs whilst preparing for my a-levels. and and… *takes deep breath and calms down* …. gosh was it so long ago then?
I know ! I love the post-grunge alternative movement of the 90s. I wanna like download all the songs from 1995-1998 (right before nu-metal came along).
yes, it was 10 years ago !
I love those songs !
Eh I listen to 80′s songs when I was 10.
Who into 80′s here also?
hehehe , what 80s music are you talking about ?
I love 1997.
