Nice to see three of us each having 9 goods on a mid 90s countdown. Music wasn't quite dead yet. That seems to have happened around 99-ish.

Yeah. It would be like if Marc Cohn got busted for raping sheep tomorrow. Doesn't change the fact we liked his song "True Companion" back in '98 and chose it for our first dance.
Since the numbers are so low, here are some songs on the Hot 100 that week we might prefer:
#31 White Town "Your Woman"
#33 Bruce Springsteen "Secret Garden" (that whole Jerry McGuire remix thing)
#35 Aerosmith "Falling In Love (Is Hard On The Knees)"
#38 Blackstreet "No Diggity"
#46 Eric Clapton "Change The World"
#53 Verve Pipe "The Freshman"
#54 Prodigy "Firestarter"
#70 Tori Amos "Silent All These Years" (reissue, RAINN benefit)
#74 Seal "Fly Like An Eagle"
#89 Smashing Pumpkins "Thirty Three"
#100 Metallica "King Nothing"
Note: these aren't the peaks, some of them are top 30 hits - just not this week

Haha, and that's OUR wedding song; and yes, Clapton's in the doghouse too!
I was surprised that I knew about 10 of 'em. Not a huge fan of any, but there's no denying the Spice Girls tune is a great pop song.

I don't hate the song but 33 years later I'm still sick of it. I worked at Shaws Supermarket that summer and this song aired every single shift I had for months. I still cringe every time I hear "Even if, even if, you don't love me anymore".
18 26 Heart - All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You
I like it. My wife likes it. But the Ann Wilson thought it was 'hideous'.
Nancy: Even though we changed the gender of the song around, which became so shocking that they banned it in Ireland because it was song about a girl, a wanton lassie, who picks up a hitchhiker guy.
Ann: Like, you’re a hitchhiker, I don’t know you so let’s get in the car and exchange fluids and now, get out. I mean, that’s hideous.
08 09 KISS - Forever
What a fucking joke this song was, and still is. To watch Paul and especially Gene sing these Michael Bolton written lines "Forever, until my life is through, girl, I'll be loving you forever". Puh-leez. Oh, and it just sucks no matter who's singing it.

The owl in that commercial was voiced by ventriloquist Paul Winchell. In this clip, he reveals how he's getting paid for a television appearance. Can you guess?
