Let's Hear It For the Boys

Day 23: A song from the 90s
TISM (This Is Serious Mum) - (He'll Never Be An) Ol' Man River (1995)

One of the most outrageous and also side-splittingly funny acts to come out of Australia. The rumour is that they were school teachers. (Note in relation to the last verse - Michael Jackson died in 2009, lasting 14 years after this song)

I'm on the drug, I'm on the drug
I'm on the drug that killed River Phoenix
I saw his body thrashing 'round
I saw his pulse rate going down
I saw him in convulsive throws
I said "I'll have one of those"
Hilary had, Hilary had
Hilary had it in his veins
Hilary had Everest in his veins
Armstrong did moon, was not the same
Heroes explore to give us hope
River pushed back the envelope
Drank the slab, drank the slab
Drank the slab that Bon Scott drunk
I drank the slab that Bon Scott drunk
I injected some of Hendrix's junk
I booked a seat on Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane
Mama Cass' sandwich? I ate the same
Now I'm bored, now I'm bored
Now I'm bored and there's no stoppin'
Now I'm bored and there's no stoppin'
I need another celeb to fill a coffin
Where will I get my next drug action?
Odds on it'll be Michael Jackson
I'm on the drug that killed River Phoenix
I'm on the drug

+4 Sun, summer, ocean, sand

I cannot believe this song was from the 90s. It feels so much like it was from the mid 2000s.

Fountains of Wayne - It Must Be Summer (1999)

Nice!!

 

[aussiegeekygal]

Although, like 'Gangsta's Paradise', technically a song from the 70s!

This version was released in the nineties, though.
It counts. Otherwise, most of us would be pulling the songs based on Pachabel's Canon, which hails from 1680

Nice score!

 

[Wonderer67]

Nice score!

Many thanks. I really wanted to play Staying Out for The Sumner by Dodgy. It’s such a summer song and a great vid, but the lyrics aren’t nearly as applicable.

Day 24: 00s Summer

He takes about sun, summer, islands, vacation, the beach, coconuts, rum, the whole shebang really.

Day 24: 00s Summer
Yes!
‘(He) acts like summer and walks like rain’ (whatever that means)

A great clip for those who say she can’t play guitar or sing. She’s like 22 on this tour performing like this.

Question for @morelikeasong

In Australia we use the word "holiday" instead of "vacation".

Would the use of holiday in the context of taking a trip count as a point??

Sure! As long as it’s used in that context

It's peppy, upbeat, has lots of summery words... but the subject matter is thoroughly depressing. Even still...
Swim! Ocean! Sun! +3 points for me!
